Fitch's Weightlifting Journal: From Skinny to Superman!

[manuva]

Go apesh!t on carbs mate. You'll need all the energy you can muster to lift heavy in the gym.

Try and avoid soy protein if you can - it's not real good for guys, and also research has shown it barely does a thing for hypertrophy.

Good luck!

I am switching to a new routine tomorrow. I will begin to record my progress then; I trained for months to build up my stamina in the gym. Now it's time to PUMP it!

Fitch is back!

Update

It's been a while...

My Updated Stats

Body Weight: 152 lb. (yeah, mothaa****kaaaaaa! I started out with 115 two years ago).
Body Fat: Less than 10%
Height: 5' 11'~

I never felt BETTER in my life. I'm so pumped. I can do anything!!

I need to gain more mass though. I'm not strong enough, nor do I look it.

Should I continue this routine, or should I work two different muscle groups per day?

Note: I can only hit the gym 3 times a week, until the end of August when I'll go 5-6 days a week.

What are your favorite, lean, meals--that are high in protein, and low in fat?

CRITIQUE MY ROUTINE

Damn... thats' a lot. That would take me 3 - 4 hours to do, and i would fall asleep before the end.

 

[mrRuckus]

Six meals a day? That's completely useless.

Just eat. Dont worry about how many meals. When you're hungry, eat. When you're not hungry, eat some more. When you have nothing to do, eat... and go to the gym of course.

That's pretty much what i do. I don't know what to refer to as my meals. I'll eat some food then keep nibbling on random things or sipping a protein drink until the next larger intake of food. It really lightens up how much food i have to eat at once and keeps me from feeling too full or bloated.

I guess my stomach is working on food the entire day nonstop. Could that be bad?
