Any idea on a decent meal plan for a Powerlifter/Strongman trainee? I usually just eat a lot of stuff during the day. I wake up and eat oatmeal with 2 tablespoons of sugar.
When I go to college I usually have something packed, usually 2x tuna sandwiches. 1 can on each sandwich. About 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise per can.
And when I get out of school, I just eat random stuff. Depends what I feel like making.
But I'm not really trying to gain a lot of weight right now. I have a lot more strength to gain before I wanna hit like 215-220. I'm about 200-205 right now. My lifts are still going up pretty quickly so I won't need to gain much weight yet.
Let me know man, thanks.
Hey there -
well to be honest you have to eat as much as humanly possible...but if you start gaining fat its because you aren't doing enough total exercise.
This means...if you're doing 1-2 hours of strongman/power lifting....you need to hit some cardio to build endurance or simply lift more into 2 workouts a day.
Mariusz Pudjzionowski eats like 12,000 cal a day. he also works out strongman style for 2-3 hours and does at least 1 hour of cardio. That is the key. Tons of exercise, tons of food.
Make sure you get at least 2g protein 2g carbs and .5g fat per pound of bodyweight each day...MINIMUM....also eat a good deal of sugar after each workout rite before chugging a shake and then eating a meal.
