So I finally remade my account because, for some reason, my old one would not allow me to post. All along I thought posting was reserved for platinum members.
Anyway, I have been on this 5x5 for about 7 weeks now with great results. My lifts have gone up about 50 lbs each in working sets, and I have gained nearly 20 lbs.
I was already in good shape, but this has given me a great increase in lower body mass and all of my lifts have increased dramatically.
Two weeks ago, I go calipered and it said my BF% was 6.3. I feel this is slightly inaccurate, but it's a decent estimate. I am 21 years old, 71 inches tall, and last week I weighed in at 204 lbs.
My diet is difficult for me because my school serves shit food, but I do what I can outside of the three squares a day they give me.
I generally eat something like the following:
Breakfast:
4 packets of oatmeal
1 container of yogurt
1 cup skim milk
sometimes some eggs or some peanut butter (not ANPB because it's not down at meal tables)
945ish:
2 scoops dymatize recoup, 10 oz skim milk
This is
423 calories, 7g fat, 30g protein, 60g carbs. + 10g protein and a few carbs from the milk
Lunch:
Whatever they serve, but I try to just eat a balanced meal
Pre workout:
10 oz skim milk
1 scoop whey
50g maltodextrin
5g creatine monohydrate
Post workout:
1 serving phosphagen elite (creatine + 30g dextrose)
An additional 45g dextrose
Dinner: (about 1 hour later)
Whatever they serve, but I try to just eat a balanced meal and a good amount of it
Between dinner and bed:
Either some more dymatize recoup or
1 serving almonds
10 oz skim milk or 1 scoop whey
Before bed:
10 oz milk
1 scoop whey
If I wake up to piss:
10 oz milk
1 scoop whey
Its hard for me to give my totals here, because I dont really know exactly, I just know they are high.
