When I started lifting again was in the end of Dec. 2014.
Been hitting gym hard. Tried all types of workouts, slow negatives, supersets, high volume reps, low volume reps.
Really enjoying the gym with friends. I have seen major changes in body, definitely getting gains.
I'm 5"8 and started out at 144 lbs in December and 158- 160lbs right now.
Chest is 40" inches and biceps 14"inches now. Isn't big put decent for my height.
However, during this entire time I haven't been able to get 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight.
Here is a typical workout day meal:
Breakfast: (7AM) 2 to 3 egg weights, 3 to 4 pieces of black forest ham, provolane cheese, spinach, and whole wheat bread. Orange Juice.
Snack: (10AM) Greek Yogurt, strawberries (or some fruit ex. Banana, blue berries, etc)
Lunch: 4 to 6 oz Grilled Chicken with cup of brown rice (or mashed sweet potato)
Dinner: (5pm) Butterfly Pork Chop (4 oz), 2 cups of mixed vegetables (Or brown rice or mashed sweet potato)
Workout (7pm)
Protein Shake (2 scoops Gold Standard Whey protein) with milk within 30minutes of completing workout.
Final Meal (about 2hrs after taking protein shake) 4oz Butterfly Pork chops, spaghetti (or brown rice)
I calculate that protein take is roughly 150 to 180 grams of protein.
I need to get at least to 240 to 250...............how do I get there?
