Jim's BIG Muscler workout...

[bigjimsty]

I'm only in the 1st week of my new routine but so far so good. It may seem quite a bit but my reasoning is I like the whole weekend off!

**Training for size, strength & muscle definition
**Daily calories about 4,000 all from clean food
**Protein 50% / Carbs 35% / Fats 15%
**Each workout is an hour or less
**Supplement with weight gain protein powder and lots of BCAA's
**Train as hard & heavy as I can with strict form
**Only cardio comes from playing tennis a few times a week

I'll let you know how I get on!

Sounds like a plan, although you can expect to gain some fat when gaining weight it caqn be cut down later on. You have a great body allready man.

did you take measurements of your limbs and chest and neck?

I never did till a month or two ago when I joined this board, and now I think they are the best way to tell how your body is changing because it tells you how you are growing proportionately.

[bigjimsty]

Yeah, think I am going to do this. Sounds a good idea!

Bro you need more carbs in your diet, you can't expect to grow a lot and have energy for intense workouts with only 35% carbs.

on 4000 calories, I think it is entirely possible, that is close to what I do. I do a 40/40/20 split and quite often my carbs come out to around 35% of my daily total. What he may want to do is shoot for 40 and then that will ensure he always comes in above 35.

Not me I shoot for 50% Carbs when I bulk, but I suppose it all comes down to personal preference.
