Things you should know about me:
I'm 5'10" , 162 lbs as of yesterday
I work out 4-5 days a week.
Goal: Gain 10-15lbs. Basically, just "bulk up"
Current supplements: amino acids supplement, 3-4 pills per day @ 4.8g per pill
A friend of mine and I have been going to the gym religiously (again) for the past three weeks now.
Current workout:
Monday - Chest, Triceps, Treadmill 10min, sauna 15 min
Tuesday - Back, Biceps, Shoulders, Treadmill 10 min, sauna 15 min
Wednesday - Legs, Treadmill 10 min, sauna 15 min
Thursday - Core (abs mainly), treadmill 10 min, sauna 15 min
Friday - Chest, Triceps, no treadmill because I work saturday sunday, sauna 15 min
Diet:
For the two three weeks prior today, I havent really had a plan for diet. I would eat the usual 3 meals a day, sometimes up to five. Had no idea what my caloric intake was (though I know I need to be at 3k+), it was also difficult for me to eat regular meals because of school and work on the weekends. My job makes it very difficult for me to eat a lot because im always moving or driving. School is just a PITA because im either in class or reviewing for the next one.
Today I started a new plan that I'm going to try and stick to:
Keep in mind that I drink 5-6 16 ounce bottles of water per day.
Breakfast (8 am): Bowl of whole grain cereal, banana
Second breakfast (1030am, 11:30am other days): Four eggs, half a protein shake, banana
Lunch(1230ish): Some sort of a sandwich (meat and cheese), or a burger if I dont have time for a sandwich, second half of my protein shake
Second lunch(around 3pm): Something small before I go to the gym. Banana, a couple yogurts and an apple
Dinner(after the gym, about 5): whatever my mom cooks for dinner, usually consists of some sort of pasta and meat
Second dinner (about 8pm): second portion of dinner
Since we have started, I've noticed that I have actually gained about 4lbs, I went from 156-162. I figure some of that is probably just food weight or what not so I left it at 4lbs.
I guess my question is, does anyone have some tips on the workout or the diet portion of this? I would just like to know if I'm on the right track or not.
