Yep 5x5, download the excel spreadsheet and start a journal. And like moya said eat like a mofo.

i will admit my weakest link is my diet, its the hardest thing for me to stick to

 

[moya]

a shitty workout program on a superb diet will get better results than a shitty diet with the best workout...

what do u reccomend as far as carbs go? light moderate alot?

 

[moya]

if you want to lift as heavy as possible, you need to get plenty of carbs...
i think a bad day for me would be somewhere around 300g...
i mostly do powerlifting/strength training and i can definately tell a difference in my strength from my carb intake...
if you have a tendency to get really fat you should be careful, but otherwise i dont think you will have a problem eating 500g+ a day... they will help you grow too... and you may gain some fat, but as you add muscle your metabolic rate will rise and as long as you lift heavy and intense you should do fine... use them as fuel

Do you follow a guideline for proteins too? It seems like i gained more weight when i stopped concentrating on getting a high protein intake. I get only about 140 grams a day and i'm still making gains strength and weight wise.
