LiE's Diet and Training Thread

ha :p
I think I just want to mix it up a bit and really try and gain some size ready for a cut before summer. It's actually something I've never done.
 
Seriously considering doing a couple months of bodybuilding. Really miss it for some reason. Will let you know.
I endorse this idea. Take a break from heavy weights and buff up for summer, you know it makes sense.

*This post has nothing to do with LiE being 5k ahead of me in the Powerlifting table, honest.*
 
OK I'll put together a diet for gaining size and a program which I will start next week. This week is deload and I have a cold so taking it easy.

If that's your plan, stick to the macros you had before, but please put the protein down to 220 :) and use those calories instead to put the carbs up until you hit the calories you want :)
 
So what you're saying for macros is.


Total non-training P200.32 C300.5 F122.75 CALS3021

Total Training Day P220.32 C340.5 F125.75 CALS3350
 
Steedie, how's this look?

There is a fair amount of macros coming from the shakes, but personally I find them excellent for 2 reasons. 1 is the convenience, it means I don't get burnt out with the diet and start missing meals. 2 is I find it easier to hit my macros this way without getting overly full.
 
Here's what I put together.

As with most routines I'll make adjustments as I go. Needs fielding testing first :)
