IS THAT ENOUGH PROTEIN FOR EVEN YOUR HEAD LAD?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Mods please act.

You said earlier you were 100kg or so. Thus enough protein for a lad with that amount of muscle (ahem).

Usually I do 3 or 4 one hour sessions a week, a day apart each. I go to my local gym about 2 miles away from home and when I'm in uni in Liverpool 3 days a week I use a gym near to there as I've got a free off-peak membership, which is handy, so I can always get to a gym.

In the last two weeks though I've only been a couple of times and with not eating much for a few days at one point made me lose a load of weight. Putting on weight has always been a bit difficult for me, so I used to supplement with cheap protein (about £40 for 5kg) and oats.

Deadlifts and squats are something I need to do more of, I get a bit of stiffness in my lower back and neck though and that's what puts me off at times.



I weigh about 12 stone 4 at the moment, although that's dropped recently from 13 stone 2 or so after the last couple of weeks.

My diet is okay, but it obviously could be better. Today I had:

A bowl of cereal with semi-skimmed milk.
4 scrambled eggs with a 3 pieces of bacon.
A 30g protein shake I bought from the gym after my session.
A tuna sandwich, which had about 18g of protein in.
I'm also just about to have pasta and meatballs for tea.

That's a good day of food I suppose, I don't always eat that much. I'll take note of all this though, so cheers.

Unless you've totally stopped training for a few weeks, your weight loss is due to you having less food in your bowels and less muscle glycogen. You haven't lost 12lbs of muscle, you're better off throwing the weight scales out into the bin. You remind me of one of my best friends, he'd always talk about his weight increasing and decreasing, but his body never changed.

Your neck hurts and your lower back is stiff? That's confusing me a little. Is this general soreness, or are you putting th bar on your neck? Example do you use a towel or one of those foam things on the bar to squat?

As for the lower back stuff, are yiu bending over in the squat? Or are you rounding your back when dead lifting? If yiu can video your lifts that will help

Once I'm certain you won't hurt your self, I'll send you a spreadsheet with a basic strength template. You can nail that for two months. And that should give yiu enough to get something out of a decent hype trophy routine. You can pretty much yo yo the two from that point on, with a deload cycle in between if you need it.

I did a quick calculation and its 45kg about, you have admitted to being about 100kg....I think you are underworking yourself.

 

[chicoazul]

45kg dumbbell shrugs are hardcore mate. I can only manage them after two big lines of protein.
