Hi there, just a brief introduction. I am 27, been lifting for over 5 years, tried lots of things, read lots of things, over thought things, under thought things, a friend told me about DC and convinced me to do it.. shouldnt of, got told not to, got told i needed to lose fat and get stronger on 5x5 for a year at least before going back to dc.
Right here goes....
My diet..
previously I have been on a high carb, high protein low fat diet. I was consuming between 350-400 grams carbs a day mainly from rice and also oats, and simple carbs from cottage cheese. Sometimes i would have more than 400 grams. I was eating around 300g protein and I have gotten fat. lol.
I have changed my diet,
I am eating 150 grams of carbs a day in my first 4 meals, typical days food consists of the following
meal 1.... Whey protein with 50grams of oats, and 6 egg whites, 100g cottage cheese
Meal 2..... 42 grams (raw weight) of baslmati rice, tin of tuna, salad, and 100g of cottage cheese.
Meal 3...... Whey shake plus 42 grams baslmati rice.
Meal 4...... 2 Chicken breasts 42grams rice and salad
Meal 5....... Salmon fillet, with salad and veg
Snack .......31 g of peanuts
Meal 6........ 6 egg whites.
This would be for a non workout day, and typically would be the same for a workout day apart from post workout i would have another whey shake and simple carbs prior to a meal with protein and carbs.
I have decided to do the 5x5 routine from all the advice i have been given, still not sure if i should do the Strong lifts or Starting strength (they are both practically the same apart from SS does 3x5 instead of 5x5) as was unsure if doing SL on my diet would be too taxing.. but have decided to go with SL for now and see how it goes...fingers crossed
so i will be doing 2 workouts, A and B, mon/thurs/sat
A
5x5 Squats, then 5x5 Bench, then 1x5 Deads
B
5x5 Squats, 5x5 Overhead press, 5x5 rows.
My first workout begins on monday, and am fricking excited.
I am only supplementing whey, but intend on getting the following supps as soon as i get a job, and im waiting on a couple things so potentially could have a job by next week....
tribulus, BCAAS, ZMA, multi vit, kre alkalyn, glutamine... (any supps u think i should definitely add to that let me know)
Meal 3......
