Hello,
Situation:
I am a 22 year old letter carrier that works 5-6 days a week. I work
out 30-40 minutes every day I work at very high intensity weight
training; mostly high weight, low reps. I change it up every now and
then with low weight, high reps. Trust me, I am sore with the body part
the day after.
I walk delivering the mail for about 5 hours. I don't train any body
part more than twice a week. The problem is that I am barely growing at
all after 2 years of dedication!
I have gotten stronger, example: bench press from 225 max to 350 now,
legitimate pullups from barely 5 to 21. I'm 5'11" and between 198-205
lbs.
Nutrition:
It is HORRIBLE, no doubt about it.
Morning:
2 toasts every morning with jelly and ham.
While working 8 - 12 hours, depending on the day.
24 fl oz 100% whey protein shake mixed with 2% reduced fat milk after
workout.
1 1/2 cup of canned mandarin oranges.
20 fl oz Tropicana orange juice, high pulp.
Home:
A hearty meal with meat. I stop eating when I am 75%-85% full from
collapsing with food. Of course this is a guestimate.
I sleep 3 hours later (no working out) and have between 6-8 hours of
sleep.
Should I up the protein shakes to 2 - 4 to maximize my protein intake
EQUAL to my body weight?
Should I start taking creatine monoph... to increase my strength thus
increasing size?
A combination of the 2? Something new?
Any help, I mean any help would be appreciated in any part of my
regime. Thanks.
