KM's Training/Nutrition Log

[The_KM]

Hi all. I'm fairly new to this site, very little know me. I'm creating a log, to keep track of my daily nutrition and training. Now I'll tell a little about myself, some things may surprise you.

I'm 5'7", 143 lbs. Beginning bulk: 123 lbs. Current BF %: 8.5

I'm 15, been training for a year +. As a starter, I'm competing in my first show on June 28th; OCB Central Eastern Seaboard States. I am continuing my bulk until mid-may, as my body fat accumulation has been low due to keeping the bulk cleaner. Nutrition is my number one priority, so you will soon see that my meal log is what will be posted here, more often then the training.

Unlike most teens, I'm not into supplementation. I take what I need to take, nothing more. At this moment I am taking ON whey protein and Nutraplanet Leucine. I use the following as a nutritional aid, and to further help in protein synthesis and muscular hypertrophy.

So, let's get started.

My current split is a bit on the rather basic side, which IMO is the easiest way for my body to adapt to a certain stimuli. It's 5 day, with an undulating rep range of. I've begun to work to full strrength, instead of following my rep ranges. I do this to continue the procedure of progressive overload, and try the best I can to focus on the sacroplasmic and myofibrillar of the muscle cells.

Day 1: Chest
Day 2: Back
Day 3: Off
Day 4: Shoulders
Day 5: Arms
Day 6: Legs

I had just come off of an UB/LB split, which focused on the types of hypertrophy, and needless to say, it resulted in CNS drain. So that needed to be ended with some strategic deconditioning.

...Now, my diet.

I'm bulking. I don't use the standard formulas to develop my macro nutrient breakdown. I've edited my nutrition to how my body responds. I'm an ectomorprh, hardcore hardgainer. I keep my protein at around 1.5-2g/lb of bodyweight. My carbs at 350-400g and my fats at 80-110g. Nutritional timing is just as important to me, so that's not a problem. Nutrition is my passion, or is turning out to be.

NOTE: I'm in contest preparation. So updating my log won't be as continuous as yours may be.

Thanks for reading. Today's an off day for training, so I'll begin this journey with today's meal log.

Have a good one.

Cool, glad to have a nice welcome. I'd post pictures, but I'm not comfortable yet, being I'm very new to this board. As I further associate myself here, I'll be posting for sure. Thanks for being interested.

Going to be a crazy drive.

Today's meal plan.

Generally, I keep track of my macro nutrients previously. However, I was paying too much attention to the counts rather than eating like I should, and eating large. Here is today. I have some junk, but it's necessary for me to grow.

Today was an off day from training so no particular pre and post workout meal, making the meal emphasis a tad bit more drastic on each meal.

Here it is.

Meal count: 7
Water Intake: 1.5 Gallons

Meal 1:
4 Egg Whites
2 Whole Eggs
1 slice Ham
1 cup OJ

Meal 2:
Met-Rx Protein Bar:
35g Protein
50g Carbs
5g Fat
310 Cal

Meal 3:
10 oz Hamburger 85% lean
2.5 Whole wheat Rolls
1 cup Milk

Meal 4:
1 jumbo can Tuna (37-40g Protein)
4 slices Whole wheat

Thanks.

Well, when I counted strictly, which was about a month ago, I had anywhere from 2900-3300 calories. Now it's anywhere between 3400-3800. Some days even 4000.

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Hey all, haven't been on too much.

I'm 3.5 weeks out, around 28 days. At the conclusion of my bulk, I last weighed in at 142 lbs. Needless to say it should have been better if I had not screwed up in the beginning. I have been cutting for 2ish weeks and am down to 136 lbs. Yep, a little too low. Mostly water. I'm shredded now, just need to bring it to the next level. I'm performing cardio (moderate intensity, 30-45 minute duration) 3x a week, or 4. HIIT is more beneficial, but I'm too ectomorphic for that type of AG/PC system running. Not sure of what I'm doing about sodium re-feed/depletion, but I will be cutting sweaters (aspartame, HFCS, etc) and shakes/bars at 2 weeks out.

Hey all,

Been gone from here for a while but plan to be back. Had my show, did real well and had an awesome time. Before starting this would like to get myself situated around the forum and then hopefully will post pics!

See ya guys. I'll throw a pic up in my avatar for ya.

 

[Hypocrisy86]

Awesome man!, glad to hear you did well and had a good time .

[ironheart]

hey man, have'nt seen your log until now. it's a good log, you should keep us updated. keep training hard buddy, i'll stop by often and check out your sessions.

 

[The_KM]

Thanks all for the support! Yep, ironheart, I haven't been on here in a couple months that's probably why you haven't seen it lol. The show was great, competing is the best thing ever for real.

I'll throw up a log of thsi past week.

 

[The_KM]

Just getting this to be seen.

I'll be updating on a daily basis starting next Monday. I'm on vacation and bodybuilding isn't much on my mind right now, just eating as much as possible. Taking a week off this week working as a deload.

Anyway, hope I'll have a lot of followers and see you all in 2 weeks!

Thanks!
