I am 5'11" and right now I weigh 184. I am trying to add calories and do a really clean bulk. I want to shed a lil bit of fat and pack on some good lean muscle.

I have nothing but ON and Substance, and Im looking for a change of pace. Thanks ahead of time.

Honestly does not look to bad, could use a little fine tweaking but you obviously have the basics down. First thing would be your Pre and Post WO. Eliminate the Natty PB from Pre, and duplicate the same thing for Post and you are solid. Other than that, I am not a big fan of shakes, so I would change 3 and 5 if at all possible. Good job with the veggies as well.

ok thanks for the help bro. I will swap the natty pb into post whey shake.

What MS said and waaaaay too many shakes man. Unless you are the busiest person on the planet, there is no need for all of those. Replace as many as possible with wholesome "whole foods". Too many liquid meals will hinder gains b/c alot of the liquid meals will just pass right through your digestive tract.

edit: nm...just saw the macro breakdown.

JMO, I'd throw in some carbs post workout.

 

[kwyckemynd00]

I just noticed that...source of carbs PWO is coke. No good man. That'll get you fat just as well as anything else and put you one step closer to diabetes.

Try something like rice or a wheat bagel. The high GI PWO theory has been disproved. You can search for the study's on this forum if you'd like.

whey with oats good for pwo?

 

[kwyckemynd00]

Yep...good alternative.

I blend 1/2 c oats + 1 scoop whey + 16oz ff milk

Not bad at all. Rage suggested to me to chug em(oats) with water...:food:

I can guarantee my oats are better than the chug-em even in water, adding a choco protein powder makes it taste semi-normal. without the powder...hmm....yuck.

I dont think he was saying to put the pb in your post shake, i think he meant to take it out of the pre and post. I dont think you should have fats like that with post workout because it could slow absorption.

Yeah, I meant take it out of both Pre and Post and keep the oats and whey. Lipids slow the absorption of protein and are not a good choice Post WO
