Well, my first post here, so PLEASE bear with me. I am 22, at 6'2'' and 200 pounds. The most I have even weighed is 215 and this was in 2002 before I blew out my elbow.
I will try to keep this short. I am working on bulking up some. So, I have started increasing my food intake. Been eating alot of chicken breast, eggs, etc. Been eating often, every 3-4 hours. The only supps I'm using a Creatine, a good multi, Glutamine, vitamin C, cytomax, and several protein powders. I have some Techline Provision 6, and a bunch of other whey protein that I bought when GNC had this big sale. My thing is, none of these have any carbs in. How do I get my carb intake higher? I do need more carbs correct?
NOTE: I blew my right elbow in 2002, so I am running 2x10-12 on all exercises just for now. Any suggestions for improved set/rep schemes would be nice.
I am lifting Chest/Tris, Back/Bis, Legs.. and then one day off. For instance:
Chest/Tris
Dumbbell Bench Press
Flye Machine
French Press "skullcrushers"
V Bar Pressdowns
Back/Bis
Standing EZ Bar Curls
Seated Dumbbell Curls
Lat Pulldown
Seated Row
Rear Deltoid Flyes
Legs
Squats
Leg Extensions
Leg Curls
Calf Raises
Abdominal Circuit
I would be interested in hearing what you guys think would be a good improvement to this, as this is something I just thought of.
Pre workout I eat 1/2 cup of oatmeal, and take some protein powder, Whey Iso Burst by GNC (one scoop). Then shortly after, I take some Cytomax. Then I bike to the gym, about .7 miles, it takes me 8 minutes.
Post workout. 16oz apple juice (using the apple juice to try and create an insulin spike for the creatine). Creatine (Creatine Burst by GNC) with 12 oz water, which I add 5 grams of pure Glutamine to. Then I have some Mega Whey Extreme by GNC (60grams protein) no carbs.
I drink all those things really fast, to try and get everything into my system as soon as I get home, because of the bike ride. I only spend about 30 minutes in the gym, but it takes me an hour between home and gym and home again. So, 1 hour without food, with 30 mins of exercise.
So, my question is, what suggestions do you guys have? What am I doing wrong?
My typical diet is waking up and eating 6 eggs, then I go into work. Then a little while later, I might drink around 16 ounces of milk. About 2 hours later, I might eat a chicken breast. My problem is, it is hard for me to think of what to eat, especially when it comes to carbs, because all of everything I have, has no carbs in it. I also have a box of Pure Protein Bars right now, the tiniest bit of Kreakyln left over, and some Dymatize Expand that is sitting on the floor, as it made me feel odd.
Sorry, I am rambling, and tired, and can't think straight, and probally am the worst writer on this forum. But, hopefully you guys have some kind of suggestion and understood part of what I was saying. I work nightshift, so it is bedtime for me now. Thanks in advance.
