Meal Planning & Workout Schedule.

[Busterhimen]

Hello, everyone!

Welp..
My meal planning is pretty simple...

Morning: 2 egg whites, a small bowl of golden grams with chocolate milk.

Lunch: Turkey jerky, almonds & cubed cheese blocks with a muscle milk & 4 hard boiled eggs.

Dinner 1: Broiled Chicken breast without any seasoning, Ramen or a cup of white rice & a dash of cheese.

Or

Dinner 2: Ground Turkey with asparagus & baby red potatoes.

The Supplements I take:
Animal Pack every morning with Methyl-Test.

For a pre-workout: Woke AF MIAMI

Other than that I just take Creatine.

I took a 10 year hiatus so I'm just getting back into lifting again.

When I was in shape I primarily did calisthenics and occasionally lifted weights to get me over my slumps & put on some more mass.
Back then I was 190lbs at my peak. Considering that I am 5'9" I was pretty fit.

Currently I am 230lbs and am primarily concentrating on weight lifting. That's the direction I want to go going forward too.

If anyone wants to give advice my ears are listening.

Why did you settle on this meal plan? Be specific.

 

[Busterhimen]

Ahh. I settled on this meal plan because it is high in protein and I still get my carbs.
Granted I cheat a little and will eat more boiled eggs if I want to snack.

I am doing my best to bulk up. If I can get into shape again, I'd love to try and enter some competitions.
I never did in the past but always thought about it.

Why the methyl-test?

 

[Busterhimen]

Why the methyl-test?

I'm about to be 40 years old this December and I figured it would be an inexpensive alternative to trt at the moment.
I haven't looked into trt yet BUT i am highly considering it and it's not like I can go to the corner store & get it.

I don't necessarily want to jump into the deep end of the pool either quite yet. I'd like my body to start to fill out first & then go from there. Everyone wants to be jacked but they don't want to put in the time for their bodies to adapt/adjust.

I mean.. I think it was a good option. The reviews that i found were pretty decent.
If there is something better out there that someone knows of I am possibly willing to give it a try.

Welp, guess what? You’re in the deep end. That has your HPTA shutdown just like TRT would. It’s a bit premature too. You should have gotten a blood test first to see where your natural test levels were. You didn’t give your body time to adapt/adjust.

I didn't think something so little would make that significant of an effect....

What the hell do I do now?!...

Did you read about it?

How long were you taking it? What dose? Where’d you get it?

I just started taking it 2 days ago. I purchased it from Vintage Muscle. It's a cheap test booster.

Ok. They call it methyl-test even though it isn’t.

What’s the active ingredient?

High in protein? At a glance, with no measurements, it looks like only roughly 100 grams.

A bowl of kid's cereal and either some rice or potatoes, for an entire day. Why such low carbs?

What’s the active ingredient?

Magnesium 200mg
Zink 30mg
Tribulus Terrestris Ectract 750mg
Chrysin 75mg
Horny Goat Weed 50mg
Tongkat Ali 50mg
Saw Palmetto 50mg
Hawthorne 50mg
Cissus Quadrangularis Extract 50mg

I also take protein powder 50mg a serving. I usually take that 3 times a day also.

To answer the carb question.. I'm around 30% body fat at the moment.

 

[CJ]

I'm assuming you mean 50 grams. Why not real food? Real food takes longer to digest, so it's like a slow drip of protein over the course of several hours. Powders are in and gone, much more quickly. If you don't have a good reason for using powders, I'd think about more real food

To answer the carb question.. I'm around 30% body fat at the moment.

And? Carbs don't make you fat. Overeating does.

There's nothing wrong with lower carbs, though. If eating them triggers hunger, then by all means dial it back. But for the love of God, don't be one of those people that think carbs make you fat. Almost all vegans/vegetarians eat a very high carb diet, and most of them are not fat. There's the visual proof. We can get into human physiology too, if necessary.

Yes, grams.
I hear ya on the carbs too though. I just feel so damn bloated when I eat a lot of them.

It's more than likely the carb source, meaning the particular food, that is giving you issues, and not carbs themselves. Unless you're chronically over consuming them while over eating, in general.

For me, personally, oats make me gassy and bloated. Rice, however, does not.

Correct, that's why I recently switch to rice. I'm taking it easy with them to see how my body is going to react.

Stavkirke Church , that's a good pic of it. Hard to believe that place was built in 95' as old as it looks. Really freaking cool. It's part of the Lutheran Church that's right next door to it , you can get married there and have events.

Correct. I actually thought it was bigger until I seen it in person. Photos can really be deceiving.
