Opinions on my macros - slow bulk.

[Jimbo Mahoney]

Every so often, I get that "amidoingitrite?" feeling and I know how psychological this lifting game can be.

So, amidoingitrite?

Height = 5' 4" / 163 cm
Weight = 58 kg / 9st 2lb / 128 lb
Age = 32
Training = 3 years of "Starting Strength" based routine (2 x per week, 5-7 reps, emphasis on deadlift, squat, benchpress).
Diet = LeanGains / carb-cycling

Lifting stats:

Squats = 100kg x 5 (1.7 x BW)
Deadlift = 116 kg x 5 (2 x BW)
DB Bench = 38kg x 5 (equivalent to 83 kg barbell? (1.4 x BW)

Workout day (2 x week) = 3100 cals / 120 P / 473 C / 84 F
Rest day (5 x week) = 2050 cals / 203 P / 55 C / 105 F
Average daily calories = 18.2 x BW

Aim = getting stronger, gaining 1 lb per month (I've previously experimented with 1 lb per week and 0.5 lb per week, but I get fat very quickly at that rate of gain, especially being so short and small-framed).

What I hope you're going to say:

"If the weight on the bar and the weight on the scales is going up, you're doing it right. Anything else is just details."

It's the way I work, and well what else matters.

As long as your keeping healthy and getting enough protein then alls good.

At a quick glance it looks okay to me. Could always lower carbs slightly and increase fats on training days if you find 470g carbs too much.
