Slayer's Diet and Training

[slayer of souls]

Well, as of now food availability is limited. I will be getting a greater variety of protein sources for about three weeks as I am leaving rez for winter break.

I was 197 at my max (naturally of course) and just wanted to cut down for summer. Now I am gradually increasing weight while keeping bf% relatively static. I am not afraid to gain a few lbs of good ole fat. Thats what I plan to do over the break. I will taper up my calories.

I seem to be responding very well to pendulum training and will keep it up.

Week 1: Structural 1 (hypertrophy: high volume/low intensity)
Week 2: Structural 2 (hypertrophy: moderate volume/moderate intensity)
Week 3: Functional (strength)
Week 4: Structural 2 (hypertrophy: moderate volume/moderate intensity)
Week 5: Structural 1 (hypertrophy: high volume/low intensity)

I like the diet too. You can still make great gains with a clean diet like that during bulking. The gains just don't come near as fast...

Thanks, I really didnt enjoy my last bulk. I want to try a very clean bulk, and aim for quality muscle. It will be difficult, but I am prepared to face the challenge.

Also, I eat the same thing - day in and day out - at the same times. Not much change at all - even my cheat meals are the same days and times with the same meals.

The only thing I would add/subtract from your diet is to maybe cut about 60 grams of protein and add about 60 grams of carbs to replace the protein calorie for calorie...

Agree with fog hat on more carbs, less protein. For your post workout carbs, I would do a slow GI rather than vitargo. I made a posting on that months ago, look it up to see the evidence as to why that's better for cleaner bulking. Also, why do you have your carbs and protein 20minutes apart after your workout? If it is so that you get an even greater insulin spike, please look up that posting I just mentioned as it will explain how this is not necessary.

good luck--it looks like you really know what you are doing.

Sorry, I cant seem to find your post! Do you have a link handy or at least the thread title?

Sounds like an interesting post, I dont want to miss out on it.

Interesting, I will keep that in mind as I do more research.

Thanks for the link

ditto...what about some brown rice, or mashed sweet potatoes? find a sugar mama with a stove, boil a bunch (peeled), then mash and refrigerate...and eat it like jell-o

[slayer of souls]

lol that sounds disgusting, I will try it when I get back! Its better then raw oats and water.

For the next three weeks I will have unlimited food, so I will bulk up.


Thanks for all the comments! I will keep on updating those interested on my progress.

Just an update after trying out pendulum training weight has increased steadily.


Thanks for all your help!
