Wtf? Lol... ok, your real name is Greg, that's fine. I had a double take when i saw the journal title.

Anyway Greg, no breakfast on a training day, don't even bother lifting. I'm serious. Don't really have time to totally review your workout but you need to tweak your nutrition somewhat.

You need more than just ayamas rice and one piece of chicken. If you're planing to cut and try building muscle at the same time, OR trying to build as much mass as you can while keeping fat gains to a minimum, DO NOT BE STINGY ON PRE AND POSTWORKOUT meals.

Tweak this, your whey and water post workout, make it 2 scoops of whey, add in 2 tablespoons of glucolin (dextrose). Within 1-2 hours, have your post post workout meal.

ADD IT 400ML OF HL MILK AND A SCOOP OF WHEY before you sleep. You need some form of slow digesting protein to last you throughout the night, especially on workout day or you're gonna go so catabolic you'll feel like shit the next morning.

Exactly what i mean. Post workout is your protein shake immediately after your workout (the dextrose and whey shake) and post post workout is your solid well balanced meal which is within 1-2 hours after your post workout meal.
Dextrose (Glucolin) is a high GI carb like, which Eldan mentioned, is needed for an insulin spike post workout which is a precursor to GH synthesis = muscle =growth = good!

It's not my secret cocktail. I got that from a Canadian pro bb'er.

You don't run before any heavy weight training, period because all it does it sap away at your ATP. The theory of specificity applies here, if you're warming up for a particular exercise, do a warm up set for that exercise, eg. doing bench press, warm up with bench press, doing squats, warm up with squats, etc.

I MASTURBATE DAILY AND I DO NOT LOSE SIZE NOR DO MY STRENGTH GAINS SLOW DOWN.

But it doesn't mean you have to masturbate one hour before weightlifting.

Stfu!

You need some serious serious serious tweaking in your diet. If in the event you want to tell me you're on a cutting phase, that diet is still atrociously insufficient.

No carbs pre? Wtf? You're not even going for keto right? I seriously feel like showing your post to TErry again. If i can't knock sense into you, maybe a pro bodybuilder can. Cos you really made him laugh yesterday with what you posted previously.

Later bro. I'm still fukkin tired. It's my holiday and there's a goddamn renovation going on at the condo above mine with all the drilling, etc. I just woke up to pop a lean burger patty into the microwave for some protein and i'm heading back off to sleep again.

To tell you the truth, i was pretty horrified at your diet when i peeked in here. Ok, let's say forget about the issue of carbs preworkout (which i didn't say was not important since i don't know if you're going for Keto or TKD).

The rest of your diet. You have SERIOUS protein deficit. How the hell are you going to grow? A time release protein is so important especially on workout days. And you take just 2 fish oils prebedtime? You don't want catabolism setting in while recovery is of the utmost importance during that critical period. You grow when you sleep but what happens if you don't supply the body with proper fuel for growth? You shrink, period. Ok, later. I'm off to bed.

Greg, i got your text message. Yeah, why not? Go for the 5 x 5. You seem to have a pretty solid strength foundation. What are your poundages currently in the bench, squat, deadlift and rows? Be honest here alright? Cos it's important. I'm lazy to check through your whole journal.

The 5 x 5 is pretty simple but you gotta read everything. Starting out on that program means you have to reduce all your poundages by a certain amount and build up from there. They have an excel template to guide you through it. I suggest you read everything on the 5 x 5 properly because most people have the tendency to fuk it up due to improper reading and then start blowing it off as an ineffective program.

And i have to tell you that Keto/TKD doesn't work when you go on the 5 x 5.

I know it's gonna be difficult on the ego cause of the program requiring you to lower the poundages, etc. Believe me i know cos i didn't like it either but it was worth it. I improved in everything except the deadlift because i was already in the advanced stage of that particular exercise.

Huh, meaning? I'm weak?

He has shoulder injuries from a very bad bike accident, and just because he because he doesn't bench more than me doesn't mean he can't and it doesn't mean he couldn't when at his peak. He just found out a way to maximize growth by focusing on the movement and going for maximum contraction.

Besides, i went pretty light on the bench press yesterday.

I'd rather bond with you dahling. I promise you an unforgettable experience.

Meaning? .

You're freaking me out.
