Hey everyone,
As you can see i'm new to this forum, I am at the age of 20 and weigh about 62 kgs and roughly about 172cm's, I blame my lack of training and poor diet. Over the years I have been off and on of diets and protein supplements. I recently met an old friend who use to weigh 50kgs+ and was very skinny, 2 years have passed and I met him again and his all bulked and tanked up now. I had asked him what he did, and he told me he bulked up for 1 year and now is eating clean and cutting and now is a personal trainer. That gave me motivation to hit the gym again, I'm currently a hospitality student and for a cook/chef the hours are not that great.. I normally finish at 9.30pm and don't get home until 10.30-11.00pm. So as you can see I have no time for a gym and just recently bought Chinup bar for home purposes, I'm currently on the lookout for barbell and more weights, I find stores that sell them in Melbourne to be expensive.
Over the years I have lifted, the program I was using follows :
3 x 8 - Bench
3 x 8 - Pull ups ( at the park ..)
3 x 8 - Dead lifts
3 x 8 - Overhead Press
3 x 8 - Dips ( at the park yes ..)
3 x 8 - BB curls
Well reason I didn't do squats because I didn't have a squat rack but thats no excuse before you start flaming >.> but all help is welcome.
My diet was poor and im a smoker and drink on weekends, which I should cut down from, the diet I have in mind follows :
Meal 1 - 2Eggs/ham/Cheese + shake
Meal 2 - 2 Cans of Tuna
Meal 3 - Chicken breast with veggies
Meal 4 - Pasta + Ground Beef ( ?) just read its cheaper for to use ground beef?
Meal 5 - Steak with veggies
Meal 6 - Chicken or Steak with veggies
I have calculated my daily intake of protein/carbs/fat
I am going to be using the 40/40/20
So my daily intake would be 23g pro/carbs | fat i forgot ._.
And as for supplements I had tried out vital strength which didn't work too well, then i moved on to ON SERIOUS MASS but the scoops were insanely massive. So now im leaning towards ON WHEY 100% Standard and mix it with 1 scoop/banana and maybe some peanut butter? would give me roughly around 33g's of protein.
Protein supplement choices is either between
Optimum Nutrition 100% Natural Whey Gold Standard 5lbs- $89.95 vs Dymatize Natural Whey 5lbs - $85.00
So in conclusion I would like to bulk for 6 month if it's possible I know bulking takes years or even more and hard effort and training. But my goal is to gain mass and muscle, so im currently considering the 5x5 weight training program. I cannot post a picture of myself due to restriction of not having 15 post's but my current picture is in profile if that helps.
But if anyone in Melbourne has barbell and weights for sale please PM or leave a message any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you for taking your time to read.
