Gender:  | Considering the fact that you're in Afghanistan, I think you're doing pretty good with the diet. You might be a little short on protein. Aim for 1.5gr per lb of body weight. I did the same program that you're doing. I did high intensity interval training (HIIT) on the same days that I lifted so I could have Tue/Thur strictly for recovery. The HIIT kept it short and sweet...20 min of that was all I needed. Make sure the squats on Wednesday are at 70-80% of Monday's weight. I figure you already know that, but just want to make sure. |

Gender: | basically im trying to put on some Mass, i lifted for a long time (2 years) the wrong way, doing all my body parts separate, neglecting legs, and barley touching Deads....but now im REALY serious about lifting, i love it, and now i know i need those big body lifts for mass and thats why i wasn't gaining mass, i did get stronger, WAY stronger, just not bigger, guess i need to add some more whey to my diet cause that's all i can do out here....so maybe i'll just walk two days a week after my Monday and after my Friday sounds like that should be ok, right?? i really really appreciate the support in the Forums here, thanks to everyone!! |
