Ok I would love a good meal plan that is sustainable for long periods of time and will help me get / keep a six pac.

I actually have a lot of gym experience, been lifting for 15 years. The hardest part for me to get a chisseled look is finding a diet plan that is sustainable and not overly time consuming to make the meals throughout the day.

Here was one of my old diet plans:

8:30am
10 egg whites
1 cup plain oatmeal
1 fruit (banana, apple, etc)

10:30am
pure protein shake

12:30-1pm
6 oucne chicken breast
1 serving steamed green veggies

4:00pm
1 fruit (banana, apple, etc)

6:00pm (post workout)
pure protein shake

8:30pm
6 oucnes lean ground beef or 6 ounces of fish / chicken breast
1 serving green veggies

I lost significant amounts of weight on that diet plan but it was hard to sustain.

I am currently:

28 years old
5'11 tall
215lbs
385 bench press (strong for me)

I haven't measured my body fat percent lately, but you can see my abs just not that well vso im guessing between 14-16%. I want really ripped abs and i need help throwing a diet together that i can maintain and that will yield me good results, please help =-):

Hey man...

okay if you are doing a hyper+cutting combo...you would want the following (remember to keep these in the SAME ORDER that I give them to you)
All exercises will be 3 sets of failure reps, gradually INCREASING weight with each set. 20-30 seconds rest between sets unless specified otherwise.

Mon - Legs - BB Squats (5 sets, first 3 pyramid up in weight, second 2 will be breakdown failure rep format), DB lunges (keep weight the same here), Leg Press (1 minute rest here), leg extensions, laying leg curls
Tues - Chest - DB Bench Press (5 sets, first 3 pyramid up in weight, second 2 will be breakdown failure rep format), Incline DB Bench Press, Incline DB Flies, Cable Crossovers (7 reps high, 7 reps mid, 7 reps low - 21 reps at maximum possible weight with good form - 3 sets), pec deck (GOOD FORM), DB pullovers (focus on chest here), and if you don't feel fatigued enough...burn out with a failure set of incline pushups.
Weds -  OFF
Thurs - Back/cardio/abs - Straight Leg Deadlift (5 sets, all 5 will pyramid up in weight, 1 minute rest between sets, try to maintain the 8-12 rep max weight range the whole time like 12-11-10-9-8), Bent over BB rows, Lat Pulldowns (close grip), Lawnmower Rows (GOOD FORM HERE!), Reverse Pec Deck, T-Bar Rows or seated cable rows to finish (close grip). Cardio = HIIT 20-30 mins, and abs = 20 mins ab instinct training (basically 20 mins of as many ab exercises at maximum capacity that you can do with as little rest as possible).
Fri - Shoulders - Seated Military Press (5 sets, first 3 pyramid up in weight, second 2 will breakdown failure rep format), DB Shoulder presses, DB front raises, DB lat raises, BB shrugs (5 sets, all pyramid up in weight, 30 seconds rest between sets, maintain 6-12 rep range w/ max weight possible for those reps), DB shrugs (good form!!).
Sat - Arms - Olympic bar preacher curl (3 sets pyramiding up with 30 seconds rest between sets, try to get into the 4-8 rep range with very slow decline and explosive incline), close-grip e-z bar curl, seated incline bench alternating db curls (good form!), straight-seated hammer curls (good form and slow decline), high cable curls (make sure you fail hard on the last set!!), Close grip weighted dips (5 sets of 8-12 reps maximum weight pyramiding up in weight with each set - 30-60 seconds rest between sets), tricep cable pulldowns (rope preferred or v-bar), laying skullcrushers, bent over DB tricep kickbacks, close grip smith bench press (make sure your hands are only about 4-7 inches apart and perform 3 sets of maximum weight for around 8-10 reps FAILING with each set!!!)
sun - REST


enjoy!

hey there.

I would be glad to help...except I'm a bit confused. You want to lean out, yet the diet you posted above you don't want to follow? Or can't follow? How will me making you a new diet be easier to follow than the above diet? Or was that diet just not making you see the results you wanted?

Let me know, thanks

Well, assuming you aren't going to be doing keto, you want something like

40% protein, 35% carbs, 25% fats.

You want to take in carbs first thing in the morning, 1 hr pre workout, and immediately post workout.

You want to take in the most fats before bedtime, and 2 hrs pre and post workout

Protein should always be casein before bed, but fast acting proteins throughout the day with the exception of the meal following your PWO shake which should be slower digesting - ie: lean red meat.

For calories...you always want to be 500 below total expenditure (exercise + bmr) for fat loss.

I'm asking all this for one of my good friends thats interested in a diet and some gains. I will give you his stats and goals. So if you can help him out please do.

STATS

6'3"
195 pounds

Bench- 300
Squat- 275
Power cleans- 265

GOALS

gain size
6 pack
pyramid body

I'm pretty sure he wants a good diet routin, supplement opinions, and a work put routin.

Hes in pretty good shape he plays basketball in college, and has been working out for a while now. He pretty much feels like he isnt getting any bigger but he is getting stronger. He is also stuck at 300 bench and he wants ideas what to do to improve that (pretty much what helps you the best). Thanks

hey there.

Tell him to check this out:

Bulking Diet, workout, and supplement guide


secondly, as far as the bench issue goes...tell him he needs to start doing 5x5 for bench...that will help him breakthrough. In addition, he can try to do negatives and overloads. To do this...take his max weight (so 300 lbs) and add 50%...that means 450 lbs total. Get 3 spotters, one on each side and one behind. Have him force as much of the weight as he possibly can for one EPIC rep of everything he has. Repeat that process 3 times ONCE a week on chest day. After about 1 month he will have broken through and increased his bench (this must be done in conjunction with the 5x5)
