Could be a few things - but most likely it's excess protein and inadequate fat/carbs. Can you show me your diet?


Basically have high amounts if protein in every meal

Pretty low carbs as I'll often just eat chicken , tuna , eggs , meat straight as I can never be bothered making a sanwhich out of them..

Not even sure where I'm getting my fats from ~ I have about 10x1000ml fish oils a day

Also I'm probably having about 500 mls milk a day

And probably not enough water..

I also sweat A LOT more than the average while exercising, even tho I consider myself quite fit and lean

Sorry for so many damn posts but the same problem was really bothering me today,

Came across this on bb.com
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/ammonia.htm

To clarify; I should

Increase carbs
Increase water intake

Decrease bcaa supplementation?

What are some good easy ways to get carbs up? I find getting protein so easy

OK sleep could be better...8-9 hrs would be superior.

Supplements look good

Diet looks good

DO NOT train to failure on 5x5 days - when training for power, forget hypertrophy, breakdowns, and failures.

Power Cleans should be on legs day if you ABSOLUTELY wanted to do them

Suggestions:

1. Avoid so much ibuprofen - bad for the liver and can actually hinder recovery.
2. Try deep tissue massage 1x per week (if financially possible)
3. Try a hot bath with epsom salt every day post workout
4. Try taking melatonin,  L-Dopa, ZMA and GABA before bed each night to promote more restful and better quality sleep for greatly improved recovery
5. Also try Kre Alkalyn - typically it is mostly used for gains, however some reports have shown faster recovery times as well as increased vo2 max when using the product as directed.


Alright i will look into those, and try to sleep more :)

What would be a good order for the split?
Is it ok to do power cleans on legs, if i do shoulders the day after legs?
When training arms, how should i do it, just keep it simple... and not going to failure?

thanks ray :hail:

Here is what you need to do.

Lower your protein to around 200-250g per day.
Increase carb intake by around 100-150g per day from where you're currently at.
Increase water intake to around 1.5 gallons per day (this does NOT count other beverages - just pure water)

Get the carbs up by simply eating whole grain bread, making a big pot of oats/pasta/brown rice and eating those throughout the day, or just bake a ton of sweet potatoes and eat those as needed.

I would do it like this:

Mon - Legs/Calves
Tues - Chest/Abs
Weds - Back/Calves
Thurs - Arms/Abs
Friday - Shoulders/Traps


The reason I have shoulder day at the end is because it gets hit by your leg day and the chest day thus giving it a good 3 days between to recover properly.

For arms training, you want to keep it simple and do 5x5 of olympic bar curls, 5x5 of close-grip bench (or skullcrushers) and also 2 more support exercises for each arm in 3 sets of 12-10-8 reps format. Try e-z bar preacher curls and concentration curls for biceps and rope cable pulldowns as well as close grip dips for triceps.
