Let's see.. I've consumed...
Breakfast
Protein Shake & Milk + 4 Whites, 3 Yolks ( Omega 3 Eggs ) apparently one egg has 10g of protein in it.
(24g + 15g) + 35 of Protein

Brunch
Subway's Breakfast, Tuna & Egg
Approx 10g of Protein i guess?

Lunch
Beef Pasta, Lean Beef 200g, 100g = around 36g based on the Internet so...
70g of Protein

Post-workout
Shake
48g of Protein

Dinner
Half chicken with salad
Approx 30g of Protein

Dessert/Supper
1/2 scoop whey + milk + natural low fat yoghurt
around 20g of protein i assume?

Total = 249g of protein
And i'm currently in bulking phase, my weight is 75kgs
Too much protein intake, i assume? :/ Usually its 1g/lbs right.. What happens to the excess protein?

(Beginner Question about Deadlifts) - to all the seniors here.

Is it normal for my lower back to feel pain during&after deadlifts? Or is it because of bad form?

I've just started doing deadlifts this month. It's my 3rd time doing it. Lifting about 60kg(not including the bar).

deadlifts works on your lower back

Gains depend on you. If you have good diet + good workout, you'll see gains. Bad diet + epic workout, you'll not see less gains. Construct a good diet, stick to a workout program at least for 6 months. Then you'll know whether a workout is good for you or not.
Deadlift works your back, the whole back. And traps, legs, core, forearms. If you doing it correctly, then you got nothing to worry about.

Its 10g per 100g but the egg weight is somewhere around 80g, so the protein is 8g per one egg.

the nutritional facts says that their eggs are 100g. Usually one egg has 6gs. Oh well, go omega 3!

I'm in need of help
You can say that i'm desperate in gaining muscle mass
I've been bulking for at least 3-4 months already
And my weight has increase to AVERAGE 2kgs which is very extremely little, well thats what the people in the gym told me
My diet and workout plan
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...&#entry60311605
Feedbacks needed, thanks! Slow bulking makes me feel like giving up and cut, but at the same time you feel like bulking all the way and cut in the end
Thanks guys!

you only listed out your protein

calorie is the main concern whether you gain weight or lose weight

i see you've get enough protein

probly can get some dessert such as ice cream or cookies after meals on top of your current meal plans

theres a couple hundred calories which is enough for a lean bulk given you're already gaining 2kg over 3months for current diet plan

dont go all out bulking, i once think that bulking is hard, so i go retard and bulk at 2~3kg a month, end up with 18%bf

after i started cutting, i realised to maintain strength and endurance during a cut is much harder

I try to eat as clean as possible, clean bulking but results very slow. Is my carbs intake too low? hmm.gif

It seems that the only macro nutrition that you've calculate is protein. Where is the carb and fats? How much is the total calorie taken each day? Seems like you missed quite a lot of things there.

For bulking, calorie in > calorie out but I think you should know that right?
*
yeah. Is my carbs intake too low? I always skip carbs at night cause i dont need the 'energy'.

Brother, you are 19yrs old. You do not have to worry too much (read worry, but dont over do it) about clean bulking. There are so many other factors effecting your lean muscle gains. most of the time, your abundant hormones, testosterones will take care of your body.

1. Are you hitting the right amount of weights at the right intensity? If you are not exhausting yourself, you may not able to absorb the stuff you put into your body. You need to exhaust your body a bit to create a sponge effect. Otherwise, you may be just pooping and pissing it all out.  This is one of the reason people starting out needs to hire a good trainer.

2. You, could be a hard gainer. *some say smile.gif

3. Are you getting your amount of proteins correctly? What is your weight? The amount of protein you need is minimum of 1g to the optimum level of 1.5g per lbs of your lean body weight. To calculate an example:

75kg * 2.2(conversion constant) = 165lbs
Body fat %: 19.8%
Lean body weight = 165 * 80.2% = 132lbs.

Protein required is recommended to be in the range of 132g to 198g of Protein.

Your meal seems to be hitting the right amount. Looks like you are already generally taking the amount in between. Thus, you can still take it up a little and hit closer to 200g. BUT you have to hit it consistently, So, I'd planned to hit slightly over often than not. There are no strong indication if 3meals vs 5meals for muscle gaining and tales of 30g of Protein per sitting is still to be proven. More info here of how you can manage your proteins: http://www.liftbigeatbig.com/2011/10/prote...f-30-grams.html There are more answers on bodybuilding.com but better to spend your time cooking/lifting.

4. Depending how intense you are hitting your training your caloric requirement is:

Base caloric: 1800
Activity constant: 1.8 (this is where your intensity/frequency of your training affects)
~ 3240kCal

Calories per gram of the three major nutrients:
Protein - 4 calories per gram
Carbohydrates - 4 calories per gram
Fat - 9 calories per gram

So say you are hitting 200g of protein, that covers 800 kCal
That leaves 2440kCal from your carb and your fats.

As you can see, fats are a great and easy way to pack on calories, but watch out for trans fats.
5. You can skip carbs for the last meal of the day; but a casein shake would be great before you sleep.

6. Are you getting your 7-8 hours of sleep? You need them.
Last but not least, I've see that your log only posted 5-days worth of program. Lets be real, it will take longer than that to see any tangible results brother. smile.gif

--

I hope that helps. Track your diet, and then up it to see any changes. Track your workout (your weights/resistance) and then up it to see any changes. Track your body composition (not just the weight, but lean mass) changes against those 2 factors.

Thanks, i've been working out for a year already actually. Seems like i have some study to do on my calories intake, i gave up counting on calories after the first 3 months in losing weight. This post helps, thanks!

Jokes aside, as per above reply about clean bulk, it's not the type of food. It's the amount of calorie surplus. 20% extra max for clean, more than that is dirty. Heck, you can eat chicken breast all day long but if you eat that and it makes your calorie surplus to 1K, what would that call? clean dirty bulk? Haha

Anthony do explain it thorough about the requirement needed to bulk successfully.  thumbup.gif

haha, cheers mate thanks for your response. Btw, should i take glutamine? intra-workout, would you recommend?

No on the glutamine. Waste of money to be honest.
But if you really need an intraworkout, there are many to choose from. xtend, compete, aminolast, aminox, purple wraath to name a few.

thanks! cause a friend of mine uses glutamine, thats why. Ahaha, i only use xtend, atomic 7 when im cutting

I don't know about glutamine so I cannot say anything on that. Intra-wo or any pre wo depends on you. Are your working days are tiring? A pre WO might help you a lot. Does your recovery time between sets took longer than usual, intra-wo would be the solution.

hmm in that case i guess i wont be needing glutamine, I use cellucor C4 as my preWO. Haha, my chest used to take up to one week to recover =_= now with proper nutrition it takes up to 2 days max only

Can someone outline for me when someone is considered an intermediate?

I've been going to the gym for a year now, to the month. Started at 61kg and I currently weigh 76(of course much of it is fat due to uncontrollable eating)

Now, my personal problem is, I seem to have hit some sort of a plateau already. My bench press just won't go up(I still can't do 135 jbtw)
Should I be training for strength or hypertrophy? 1-5reps or 8-12 reps? I really have no idea what to do. What sort of split should I follow?

I'm an ectomorph to the core, been severely underweight all my life; except now. I can post a photo comparison of before/after if that helps getting advice in any way.

Thanks!

i hit plateau for 5 months, trust me it sucked balls.

I've decided to start cutting next week. My current bf % is 18%, planning to cut till 12% and start bulking. Any tips? smile.gif regarding on diet and weight training. Isit recommended for me to do HIIT and start on high reps training instead of sticking myself doing cardio for a long time? My plan stack :- Syntha-6 and Atomic 7 (BCAA) and green tea. Some might say that i still dont have the 'size' to bulk, but I've been trying to eat every 3 hours and still no results, been bulking for 4 months previously. Quite frustrated :/ feel free to check out my workout journal though

HIIT would be the best bet IMO. The EPOC effect is good for your body. Keep in mind that during cutting phase, you'll see a lot of energy loss. If there's any reduction on any exercises' PR, that is normal. Weightlifting is needed to ensure minimal muscle loss so I guess hypertrophy is better compared to strength.

Would you recommend me to 'change' my goal, since bulking isn't working well for me. I've pushed as hard as i could everyday in the gym

I think you're just not eating enough lol.
Tbh, you don't have to actually go over like 200g of protein a day.
Should be more worried about the amount of carbs you're getting.

QUOTE(alien9 @ May 20 2013, 12:17 AM)
If bulking ain't working well for you, would it be best to find out what's wrong and fix them rather than change your goal? IIRC, last few days, I do ask about your carb intake because you've listed protein as the only macronutrition that you counted right? I guess changing your goal is the same as evading a problem, which isn't a very good thing IMO.

Increase my carbs intake, the clean way or? Cause some PT at the gym told me to eat white rice instead of brown rice and so on rclxub.gif

Just wondering
We eat to refuel our muscles, right?
So basically
Let's say i worked out on Sunday, didn't workout on Monday, so can i reduce my protein intake before my workout on Tuesday?
My Monday diet is as usual as the other days.
This is for saving money purposes LOL
