So I’m looking to put on some serious mass. Here are my stats:
age: 17
height: 5’11"
weight: 155lbs
body fat percent: not sure, but I’m pretty cut up, so probably at or just under 10%
somatype: ectomorph (with a bit of meso I’d like to believe)
Here’s the diet I plan on being on when I begin my serious training after winter break (college apps sorta take up most of my time now):
Breakfast (around 6:45)
- 1 scoop of gold standard whey protein (24g protein)
- either 1 cup of oatmeal or 1 cup of granola
- small bowl of salad drenched in olive oil and vinegar
- 2 fish oil pills
- 1 vitaimin C pill
- multivitamin
- large glass of water
- bottle of gatorade (for that insulin spike)
Mid-Morning (around 10:20)
- 2 scoops of muscle milk
- bacon/ham, egg, and cheese sandwich
- a few cashews or peanuts (probly about 1/2 a cup)
- 2 fish oil pills
Lunch (about 1:00)
- massive sandwich stuffed with ham/turkey and cheese
- bowl of salad with olive oil and vinegar
- plate of pasta or rice
- bowl of fruit
- 2 cups of 2% milk
- 2 cups of water
- 2 fish oil pills
- 1 vitamin C pill
Pre-Workout (about 3:00)
- 2-3 scoops of NO-Xplode
Post-Workout (about 4:00 - 4:30)
- 1 scoop of Cellmass immediately after
- 4 scoops of Cytogainer (so 1 serving) about 20 minutes after that
- bottle of gatorade (again for the insulin spike)
- 1 vitamin C pill
Dinner (about 6:30 - 7:00)
(the kinds of food changes but this is the general layout of dinner)
- large portion of meat (usually chicken)
- large portion of starch-kinda-thing (pasta, rice)
- large portion of veggies
- large bowl of salad
- glass of milk
- 2 fish oil pills
Before Bed (about 9:00 - 9:30)
- 1 scoop of cellmass
- about 20 minutes later, 4 scoops (1 serving) of cytogainer
- 1 vitamin C pill
Then I go to bed and hope I don’t puke in my sleep.
Speaking of sleep, I usualy get 7 to 8 hours of it. Is this enough?
Now some questions:
-
Is the whole insulin spike thing good? and if it is, is gatorade a good drink to stimulate one?
-
Should I take BCAA pills? throughout the day or just after I workout?
-
I’ve been thinking about taking the Universal Animal Pak multivitamin thing. Am I too young or is there anything else wrong with doing this?
For the first 10 weeks of my training, I will being doing a chest specialization routine. Believe it or not, I have enjoy back and leg days and so I’m over developed in that area and my chest has suffered. If strength is any testament to size (which is not really but whatever), I can deadlift 285 for 8 solid reps, but only bench press 160 for shakey reps 8 reps.
I know this is the nutrition forum, but if anyone would like the help with the chest underdevelopement issue, I’d be thankful.
So thats my diet and stuff. Any suggestions?
