Unfortunately, strength can not be matched by higher reps at lower weight. You would be best suited to stick to a gym that has the proper equipment.

So I recently starting eating healthier and working out.


My diet is the same everyday

Breakfest
2 eggs
2 pieces of toast (whole wheat bread)
Multi vitamin
Glass of water/fruit smoothie

Lunch
Yogurt
Protein shake

Supper
1 serving of Brown rice or a sweet potatoe
Chicken breast

I go workout than have another protein shake

I'm 6'0 and 163 pounds eight now.
I lost 20 pounds in 6 weeks by just eating what I'm eating now but without the protein shakes and going for 20 km bike rides daily, starting back in september


I'm wondering how my diet is for gaining 10-15 pounds of muscles in 6-7 months

also when I go to the gym I have almost no chest muscles so the workouts my friend recommended I'm struggling with, so any advice on workouts good to do for chest? I seem to do all the other exercises fine other than squats but I just don't have the form down so using a stand to support the bar for now...

Also got a link to explain the basic roles of macro nutrients and how to calculate calories based upon your goals? (Guy posted in my thread saying this)

Lastly, what do you think of c4 pre workout?

Thanks!

Hey, thanks for the reply. I'm sorry for the cluttered post. I guess what I need help with is getting started..Like I've mentioned, I've never done any calories counting or macros counting, so it all sounds very overwhelming to me. Based on the pictures I've provided, what kind of routine would you recommend? I wanted to get on Starting Strength again, but my low back has been bothering me so squatting/deadlifting are definitely out of the question until I get my MRI next week. If you were to guess my calories maintenance intake, what would it be? Thank you again!

Hi ray, long time. I won't be able to donate unfortunately, I got locked for suspicions regarding selling fg for cash. Anyways, things are going well for me, posting this to help my gym partner.

He is 6'4, 220 lbs, 21 years old.

His goal is to bench press 315 before 2016. He did 295 a few weeks before summer (then took a break). The lift was a real grind, but he still made it up. He currently has chicken legs, he was really stubborn to doing legs since he argued he was working them out on the ice before as he was a full time hockey player, but now that he quit, he has no choice to get them done in the gym. I believe it will help him gain an easy 10-15 lbs if he eats properly (yeah, his legs are that small), which I think will help a bit for the press. Other than that, I'm not sure what program I should get him on for him to achieve his goal.

He started working out again a few weeks ago and did a pretty clean 275 today.

Let me know what routine you would recommend for him, ty big ray

Damn, I was afraid of that. I'm currently following one of your cut plans, can I bench twice a week then? Rather than bench Monday and dumbbell press Thursday's? I was really gung ho about this new gym due to then24 hours

is there anything wrong with store bought roast beef? i noticed it has less fat than steak, but i recall you usually suggest steaks when it comes to beef. i also noticed "eye of round" beef has the highest protein to fat ratio. i'm thinking about either slow cooking in the oven or a crock pot with potassium instead of sodium salt. what's the difference between roasting and crock pot? is one softer or something?
