So this is my average everyday diet and workouts, interesting to see what people think about them. To note this is the maintenance diet while off cycle for strength gains, on cycle bulking I add 1000 cals and usually more carbs (although i enjoy my high fat diets) and during a cut as I am now i have scaled back 300 cals on workout days and 500 cals on active recovery days (I don't take days off)

So without further adieu here it is.

Open to comments on how to optimize my program a bit better or full out criticism is always fun too :) As for the diet this is also my trial and error happy place that keeps me where I like to be physically (the pop tarts are new instead of instant carbs like waxy maze so thanks DOC for that inspiration).

So let her rip meso bros!
 
Looks solid to me. I'm no powerlifter though. Yet. Y'all are tempting me further every day with your feats of strength and untamed body hair, lol!

I'm actually here for the yoga, haha. Do you feel like it makes a noticable difference, as compared to just hitting some "standard" mobility work? I've been thinking about trying it out. I have got to get my flexibility back in line, wondering if a set class might help more, as opposed to winging it on my own.

Thanks for sharing man.
 
Always happy to share. I basically just do the yoga to mix things up a bit, I'm a really flexible guy so it's not so much for that just some way to stay active during off days. My best recovery is from the 30 min walk and hour stretch but I'm well versed in stretching (pro dancer girlfriend) so I can hit everything the way I need to where as the yoga I feel misses things sometimes but if you are just starting to gain flexibility nothing will get you there faster then hot yin&yang yoga
 
When I was doing my lean bulk I would do an absolute total cheat meal every 2nd week with a large dominos meat lovers pizza after legs day on Saturday. Since then I haven't tried to gain weight so much and if I have a pizza i can't eat just 1-4 slices I need all 10

Lol , straight addict move. I know how it can be. I only brought it up because my wife brought me home 2 big slices of killer and I needed to not feel so bad for devouring them after reading your diet.
 
Holy fat man batman! I wish I could have that many grams of fat in my diet! Wow!!!
I'm getting fat from going back to eating carbs though...so I'm not hating, just jealous! :)
 
I must be a fat ass. Im taking in double everything except fat is around 200 and TRIPLE the carbs. :(

How long have you been running that training split brother?

This exact one for about 3 months been doing variations of it for around 2 years, this is kinda like stronglifts 5x5 but I take out bent over rows for power cleans for the explosive speed for me deadlifts. Before I would do all movements equal but I got a knee injury so I'm trying to bring up my squat again as my bench press is too close to my squat for my comfort.

You too can eat that much fat just gotta lower the carbs to utilize it. Also jaymax this is my cutting diet to lose 2+ pounds a week got a lot more carbs in my maintenance diet.

What is this cutting you speak of? You better not be cutting yourself bro! Let me know if you need to talk!!!!

And yeah. Ive dropped my carbs by almost 200g a day and added about 50f
Im at 450p 400c 200f and about 6k a day (on a slow day. Closer to 6500).
 
Wooo 450P a day I feel sorry for your porcelain throne!

The cutting sucks but I've covered it in another thread it's for a job and I need to be a lighter weight, kills my soul though so might take you up on that talk ;)

I call bullshit on your protein. Do you just drink protein shakes all day??? What do you supposedly eat that you hit that? I am not being an ass here it is just hard to believe. aka I need to hit more for protein too.

Good luck with that

450p isn't that hard at all man, I'm not hitting that personally but would have no problem between 10 chicken breasts a day and a protein shake and all the other bits that add up.
