Thanks again to Universal Rep, Hoomgar, B Con, and everyone else at Universal for allowing me to log this "Big Picture Stack" !
About OrangePeel:
Age: 20
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 200
Body Type: Mesomorph
I have been training for 4.5 years now, and for the last 2 years I have been taking the other aspects of bodybuilding such as, deit, and sleep, much more seriously. I tend to be a hardgainer (especially during winter months :think yet when summer rolls around I tend to be able to pack on muscle and loose fat rather easily every year? Which Will make this log VERY exciting for me.
GOALS:
I just recently came off a little bit of a "lazy period" (mostly just on the weekends), by BF% is higher than I like it to be already, and for this reason I plan to attemt a "clean bulk", I want to drop my calorie intake from the level it is at now by dropping ALL cheat foods, but still keep it above maintenance. If all goes right I think I may be able to make strenght gains While keeping weight either close to or under my start weight of 200lbs.
I am hoping to notice and be able to increase intensity in the gym, not be worn out towards the end of my 1.5 Hours workouts, and to notice strengh increases. That is my main concern, while I am hoping my change to a strick, clean, "cheat" free diet will allow this to happen while either keeping my BF% the same, or lowering it, I realize that is not the intent of this stack, and so if minimal fat gains occur, I will not be bothered by this.
DIET:
Nothing special here, I am NOT a professional bodybuilder and do not beleive I need to count macro's to a tee, I do however have some guidlines I will follow, and I will be especially strick for my PRE and POST meals when this Universal stack will be working its magic:
Meal 1 - Immediatly upon waking, 3/4C Oats, 1 Dannon Light & Fit yogurt, 60G TP Whey Isolate Cold-Filtration,
Meal 2 - PRE - 1 Can Tuna, 20G lean protein, 1.75C Fibrous Veggie, Animal Pak
SHOCK THERAPY - 15 Minutes Pre
WORKOUT - INTRA-AID
TORRENT - Immediatly Post-Workout
Meal 3 - 30-45 Minutes Post-WO - 50G Lean Protein, 40G Moderate GI carb (I am considering whole wheat bread sources, ezekial bread, oats, possibly some cereals)
Meal 4 - 50G Lean Protein
Meal 5 - Immediatly prior to bed, 30G TP Micellar Casein, 25G Lean Protein
-Lean protein sources will be swiched up everyday, I dont like to eat the same thing for the same meal day after day, but will consist of things such as Chicken, Turkey Burger, Lean Beef, Eggs, Tilapia etc.
-I marinate chicken in EVOO for some meals and I eat Marcona Almond throughout the day for fats, I also supplement each full meal with Omega-3
-My only meals containing Carbs will be Meal 1, 2 (In the form of a fibrous veggie), 3, and any carbs from supplements.
-Drink ATLEAST 1 gallon of water daily, I also go through about 3 gallon of Green Tea a week
TRAINING:
Monday - Back/Bi's (Heavy)
Tuesday - Chest/Tri's (Heavy)
Wednesday - OFF
Thursday - Traps/Shoulder/Bi's (Light 20 rep sets)
Friday - Legs/Tri's (Light 20 rep sets)
Saturday -OFF
Sunday - OFF
I do abs Monday (Light 20 rep sets), Tuesday (Heavy 10 rep sets), Thursday (Heavy 10 rep sets), Friday (Light 20 rep sets)
I like to focus on SLOW and CONTROLLED reps, I hate to watch people bounce and swing heavy weight, just so they get to play with heavy weights.
When I goto the gym, I like to kick my ass, and lift hard, not bullshit (which is why I stopped going with a lifting partner) I don't like to bring a journal to the gym and use lifting time to right down every rep, and every set that I do, I will pick (or you guys can help me pick) 2-3 Excersize from each lifting day that I will keep track of, my plan so far:
Monday - Deadlift / ?
Tuesday - DB Flat Bench / DB Incline Bench
Thursday - Shrug / Military DB Press
Friday - Squat / Dips
THE JUDGEING
The main categories I will judge this stack on are:
-Intensity
-Endurance
-Energy
-Focus
-Quality of Training
-Strength
-Size
-Muscle Density
My Biggest factor I will be looking for in this stack is the increased intensity during the workout, and hopefully conitinuing untill the end, I realize that building the muscle is on ME. The supplements will help for sure, but the grunt work needs to be done by me.
