Marconilegacys Strength Journey

Hi all I will be logging all my workouts and food here. I am 15 and play football and am a powerlifter.

AGE:15
WEIGHT:160
BF:12%
GOALS: GET STRONG AS POSSIBLE, GAIN MUSCLE AND LOSE FAT
BENCH:225
SQUAT:315
DEADLIFT:450

CURRENT DIET: I am currently for the next two weeks focusing on eating clean and the only thing set in stone is my peri-workout. Here is a typical day

Meal 1: 4 eggs cooked in coconut oil w/added kale

Meal 2: 5oz steak and veggies

PRE WORKOUT{45 MIN]- 1/2 cup oats, 1 tbsp Pb, 2 scoops whey

intra- 2 scoops MAG-10

POST- 5-6oz chicken, 1 cup jasmine rice, 1 tbsp honey

Meal 3-soem type of fatty meat or a shake with pb

Your food choices look very clean. The only minor problem I see is honey, which is a fructose bomb and best avoided. Here’s some info as to why: http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/sports_body_training_performance_nutrition/the_evils_of_fructose

I don’t see anything that could have made you look bloated or soft as you wrote in the LiveSpill. Could be just one of those odd occurrences.

Generally speaking though, your diet is overall pretty low carb. Some rice and oatmeal, which is fine, but you may want to bump that up. I don’t like seeing a 15 year old guy going too low in carbs when he’s primed for muscle gains. Just continue to make good food choices, which you seem to have a good handle on, train hard and focus on packing the muscle. More muscle will take care of whatever body fat you may have.

Thank you Chris. I got the honey idea from John Meadows but will drop it. Second were should I add carbs in? Also how does my training look for building muscle? One more thing, I use supps sparingly but is there anything i should add to my aresenal other than MAG-10 and whey? Thank you again

I’d add some carbs at breakfast. Cream of buckwheat, quinoa, and Rice n’ Shine are all good choices. And maybe a piece of fruit. (I’m not anti-fruit; I just don’t think we need much.) Berries are always a good choice. I buy them frozen, then toss them into the hot cereals.

At your age you really don’t need many supplements. I’d suggest Metabolic Drive over plain whey once you run out of whey. It can also be used as a meal replacement when needed, or added to foods.

Creatine is fine too for a teenager, and very effective. I prefer creatine malate. No loading needed, easier on the stomach. We sell it here at the store, not pricey at all per serving. Not required, but something to think about. Right now, for you, it’s all about lots of good clean foods and hard training, which you seem to have covered.

Diet looks good man. I don’t think you need MAG-10 or any of those fancy supps. I would spend the money one a high quality protein, creatine, and some fish oil. I also think you should up the volume of your training.

Thank you Chris i currently use creating mono but when i run out ill get some malate. And i will definatley add some carbs to breakfeast.

Nice log marconilegacy. Looks like you have things nailed down pretty good… especially for being so young! If you keep this up you will be huge by the time you turn 20…

@blaiser thanks for the positive feedback man! I dont like to predict lifts but im thinking im about 4 weeks away from a 500 pound pull, so be on the lookout;) lol

TODAY: So today is was superbowl sunday and I went skiing and ate what I wanted there then i came home and went to a superbowl party and ate what I wanted there too. BUT, I didnt eat until i was stuffed and uncomfortable wich is what normally happens when i cime in contact with “non-clean” food, this is a bad habit Im trying to break and it looks like its coming along. I think mag10 has something to do with this, every since i started i have not been “atrracted” to junk food. Being a FFB this has always been a problem.
