Meals:
My meals are all mostly 2-3 hours apart except for meal 2 which is only 20-30 min after my first meal.
meal1: 4 eggs (omega 3 ogranic) w/chz +olive oil and (2)toast and butter
(take my gnc mega mens vitamins)
meal2: shake (50/50 casin & whey) + either apple, half cup oats, or banana
(I usually have this meal 30 min or so after the 1st)
meal3: Varies.. I eat out with my coworkers but I get things such as grilled chicken Cesar salads, or some chicken, beef with some carbs (bread or croutons)
meal4: shake (whey+oats) + veggies
meal5: shake (varries, whey maybe some casin, maybe apple, oats or banana)
meal6: steak/chicken/beef + veggies
meal7: Shake (casin) + veggies (so I don't go to bed hungry)
(I take this shake like 30 min before bed so I don't wake up at night to use the bathroom as much)
This is my meal plan outline.. I'm not always 100% on track with it but its my target and I'm usually pretty close.
As for working out:
I've been following the plan Where to start with one small change. Instead of the 45 min walking on off days, 3 days a week (off days) I've been cycling at the gym.
I've finished my first week, below is my max testing results:
Max testing:
Max Dumbell bench press
reps/lbs:
10 20
6 40
1 50
1 60
1 70
2 80
5 100 (just to be clear, thats 50lbs each hand)
(I've read since then I should do future max testing with barbells not dumbbells.)
Max Bent over barbell row (with ez curl barbells)
reps/lbs:
12 20
8 30
6 40
2 50
1 60
5 80
(I think I could have done more here..)
Max deads
reps/lbs:
12 bar
8 20
6 30
4 50
1 60
5 70
(might have been able to do more.. but my back was feeling sore)
Max squats
reps/lbs:
12 bar
8 20
6 40
4 70
5 90
Off days (3 days a week):
I ride the stationary bike at my gym. I use the feet clips (so the quads are used more) and I set the cycle to a resistance of 5 (out of a 20 max). I do this for 25 minutes and I typically reach a heart rate of 120-130bpm during (I'm 30years old btw). I plan to up the resistance and time weekly.
Extra info:
I'm 30yo, 5'6 tall, 163lbs, with a bf of 19% (gym measured) 23% (measured on my tanita scale at home).
