3100kcals! That is a lot!

The best one I've found up to now is called MyoMASS by MyoMuscle. It's really high protein and calories with more protein than anything else in it. The ones I had used previously had been mainly carbs and upset my stomach. The Choc Cookie one literally tastes like drinking Easter eggs lol. So nice and it's only £34.99 for 4kg.

Which one is 3100Kcals that sounds mighty impressive I may have to give it a try!

I've used dolphin fitness before, first time was great all items arrived in a box and pretty quickly. Second time they made a kunt of it, sent me bits of the order and in the wrong flavors. Didnt even fully refund me the difference. :angry:

Nice one man! Most I have done on leg press so far is 330kg at a bodyweight of 68kg at the time.

Bench is hard, I am struggling to get my bench up ::(

I have used them a few times, no problems so far but I have only ever ordered one product at a time that may be why no mistakes have been made yet!
 
Been training hard over the past few months. Up to just under 90kg. Changed my training to put more focus on the main compounds Bench/overhead press/squat/bent over row/deadlift/pull ups. Been doing 5x5 on most of these and so far is working great with putting on size and strength.

Despite what I stated a few pages back, I think I am more accurately around 20% bf atm.

Current lifts aren't all that impressive but are as follows. (bare in mind I choose form over weight)
Bench 90kg x 5
Squat 97.5kg x 5
Dead-lift 130kg x 5

Of to do legs now, so hopefully will beat the above..fingers crossed!!
 
drinking and working out really dont go well together. first heavy weekend drinking this year and couldnt do shite in the gym this evening. hearts about to bust out of my chest! :eew:
 
Back the gym in full swing again, Never really left it but was taking a relaxed approach to eating which for me is the main part, very fast metabolism. Last year decided to shred a bit for Ibiza and went from 95kg to 85kg. Max bench was 135kg, 120kg was 6-8reps and deadlift max was 225kg when I weighed 95kg, strength dropped noticeably after the cutting period, not an awful lot to shout about but keeps me motivated. So I was stuck around 85kg for about 8-10months and now I'm starting to get the eating in gear and gained 5kg since January. Bought some new protein and pre work out and I've got the itch to get in shape for the summer again :nice:. Train 4-5 days a week, want to get another lean 5kg's ideally.

Thanks Ali, enjoying getting back into it! Your right about eating, I've never really experimented with a "bulking" type diet, enjoying it so far lol.

On a new diet, want to gain about 5kgs.

3300 calories a day.

60% carbs 20% fat 20% protein, going well, put on almost 2kg's in 10 days :nice:
 
Taking a solid week off training, been hard at it since my op in October and pretty much burnt myself out.
Had a very hard leg session on Tuesday night and went for a run Wednesday morning to loosen off. Cue Wednesday night I couldn't stop throwing up, even drinking water was an issue. Slept for a a solid day as I couldn't manage food. Weighed myself yesterday, 16st 13lb, I was 17st 8lb on Tuesday night in the gym.
 
Ohh sounds rough man. Hope your on the mend now. I had a week off this week as well. Amazing how much free time you have haha.

Cheers mate, yep got my hunger back this morning so making the most of it.

Know what you mean about the free time, was out of action for two weeks last year. Hated it.
 
Its amazing getting your appetite back after a while. Just eat and eat haha. Yea i havent been well but still itching to do something. Was doing reps of drums of tfr at work hahahaha. Managed to go for a 5 mile jog last night as well.
 
Well I done that German Volume Training.. Finished it and my max bench was 90kg before I started. Yesterday I got 105kg (231.5lbs) :D at a body weight of 70kg (154lbs).

Not maxed out on squat or deadlift yet but judging by my strength on all exercises I say they will be up a bit!

Now I am going to try get another 3-7kg on before I go on holiday with the mrs in August!
 
I seen that on fb man. Well done. Need to try that german volume training haha. Keep going man. Mega progress on your part
 
Good thread. Started going to the gym this week, and of course clean eating too.

Main aim is to lose weight. I actually lost a good bit last year, but a lack of consistency has let me down.

Here's what I roughly have in mind with regards to training:

- Do weights AND cardio
- Keep rest periods short when lifting; 45-60 seconds
- Interval training when doing cardio (HIIT) which is always after the weights
- Workouts are short and intense, about an hour or so
- Focus on exercises that work big muscle groups; squats, deadlifts etc.

Diet and nutrition wise:

- Plenty of water; 2-3 litres a day
- Eat smaller and more frequently throughout the day; boosts metabolism
- Of course no junk, sugary, fizzy drinks, crisps etc.
- Keep it high protein through chicken, eggs, fish, etc. and whey protein
- No fast carbs (high GI carbs?) and stick to slow-release types
- No carbs late in the evening
- Other wee fat burning extras like green tea

What you guys think? :)
 
The no carbs late at night is myth.

Went to a good seminar at the body power expo about nutrition.

Aside from that you've got a good program.
