First of all, I have to say that all you ladies (and fellas!) are amazing! Very inspirational, educational, and motivating!! I have been 'lurking' for quite sometime now, but I wanted to feel like I truly had everything in place (training, diet etc) before I started a log. I am really looking froward to any input or thoughts that any of you may have!
I guess the best way for me to begin is to answer the questions from the sticky:
1) In your first post please include:- your stats: weight, height, body fat.
W= 136 H= 5'7.5 BF = 19.6 % Age = 30
- Your goals: what are you trying to accomplish? Do you have a date in mind?
My goal is to add muscle, particularly in my shoulders, legs, and glutes. I have been working on this since September, and plan on continuing until May. I'll See how I feel then, and decide where to go (try to add more muscle or lean out). I would also love to increase strength on lifts, press, deads, and squats.
- Your current training & cardio schedule: What’s your routine and how often you train?
I currently train weights 5x's per week, and do 2 spin classes per week (40 min sessions). Right now my split looks like this:
1- Legs (quads)
2 - Back & bis
3 - Chest & Tris
4- Legs (glutes & hams)
5- Shoulders
Your current meal plan: including how many meals, portions, what you eat and when you eat.
My current diet is as follows:
Post Workout: 1.5 Scoops Protein Powder, 6-8 Oz Water, ½ Banana.
Sometimes I will change it up and have Greek yogurt with berries and walnuts, halvah, or an extra protein shake or bar. I have a cheat meal on leg day which usually consists of large amounts of sushi and ice cream.
I really look forward to hearing from all of you. I appreciate any thoughts or comments you may have
