Hey Scott,
If I would like to introduce myself I am pesco-vegetarian, I have started working out late Jan, 2019 along with following diet with my dietician of 1500 Calories per day. Since 5th of May I have been following your PPL routine and taking Whey Protein, BCAA, Creatine & Multivitamin, I am about to start third month soon. I work hard at gym following your routine strictly 2-3 hours on Endurance days and around 30-60 minutes on Circuits days. As of 5th of June I have stopped following that strict diet, as I trying to gain lean muscles now.
Previously: (before starting GYM & diet)
- Age: 26
- Height: 165cm
- Weight: 77
- Bodyfat %: 26.6 therefore 20.48 Kg
- Muscles %: 37.2 therefore 28.64 Kg
Currently:
- Age: 27,
- Height: 165cm
- Weight: 71.9
- Bodyfat %: 13.7 therefore 9.85 Kg
- Muscles %: 44.5 therefore 32 Kg
- Goal: started with 6months of Weight Loss now Muscle Gain
In Conclusion I have only gained 3.36Kg of muscles since the begining of the year! In the first two months of the strict diet and workout -by the end of March- I gained zero Muscles but lost around 6 Kg of fats. Since then muscle gain started with slower fat loss. but my friends and the dietition think I am no gaining as rapid as normal person who is training as hard as I do, which is somehow upsetting me. kindly any advice?
Thank you,
Omar
