Jumpshots quest for being lean, mean, and strong.

About me
My name is Kevin im 22 and a collegiate baseball player in Florida, i've been lifting for roughly 5 years on and off ive made some strides but still no where near where i should be with this long of training. Im in my final year of playing college baseball as a pitcher and am trying to make it my best but putting in the extra work over the offseason and coming in shredded.

At the moment i sit at about 6'3 195 and about 11% BF im trying to get up to 205 by winter break and hopefully maintain that throughout the season.

Training/Diet

Overall my training is as this, we have team lifts 3 days a week which completely messes up my overall routine since all 2 of the workouts are garbage and one is just legs which is solid but on my off days i always hit the gym and target the body parts that i missed in the team workouts as is there is no current routine it's just using my knowledge to get a good workout each week based on what i feel i need. I currently run about 3-4 times a week usuaslly 1-2 miles at 8-8.5mph and incororporate yoga and stretching 3-4 times a week as well.

My diet has recently been altered a bit the early part of my day needs some work but i don't have much time at lunch to make a solid meal, im aiming for right around 40/40/20 macros at the moment its 43 C/ 39 P/ 17 F i believe but that changes daily. As far as supplements go all im on is Whey, Multi, Creatine, BCAA once closer to the season when i start to run more and cut a bit im going to probally dose Natadrol which i have used multiple times high dosed to great effectivness for keeping strength while cutting.

Heres a sample diet

Meal 1- 4 eggs 405 cals 5 carbs 30g fat 27g protein

Meal 2- 2 slices Ezekeil Bread with 2 tbsp PB 540 cals 44g carb 33g fat 22g protein

Meal 3- 1 Banana or apple or Pinneapple 1 Cliff Builder bar 380 cals 53g carbs 8g fat 20g protein

Meal 4- Protein Shake in Milk 390 cals 32g carbs 4g fat 57 g protein

Meal 5- 8oz Chicken 1 cup Brown Rice 1/2 Cup Brocoli 425 cals 45g carbs 4g fat 52g protein

Meal 6- Chobani Greek Yogurt 140 cals 20g carbs 14g protein

Totals- 2,280 cals 198 carbs 79g fat 193g protein

Thats a normal day often i ingest closer to 2,500 cals which is where i want to be but this is the scheduled meals i have.

Alright so my first workout is today and i'll try to keep this as up to date as possible

Day 1- Legs

Weight- Weighed in at gym scale at 199 but electronic scale has me around 195

Today was my first day really doing a full leg day in probally a month i was having hip flexer problems and it was nearly impossible to go down to even parallel on squats so i decided to come back and try hack squats and it was virtually pain free despite still feeling the lingering problems in my hip flexor before. I felt the workout was solid but the numbers are not impressive for where they should be hopefully within the next two months i can get back to where i was and even build some strength.

Warmup-
.5 Miles at 8.5mph
Foam Roll
Static Stretching

Then to finish off workout i did 50 pullups in various forms forearm and ab work and some hip abducters

Overall i felt solid with the workout the weights are garbage but i didn't want to push myself too much since im not 100% my hip flexor is healthy so hopefully within the next few weeks i'll be at full health.

Diet

My diet has been struggling lately i haven't been getting near enough protein in but my current intake is around 2400-2600 cals right around maintence im working on getting a wider variety of food sources in since thats been my real problem.

 

[jumpshot903]

Alright back after another little MIA session, but some updates... I've been increasing my workouts to about 1 hour 30 minutes mostly because i've been getting more running work in at the end and increasing my stretching and ab work. Im still sitting about 196 which is around were i want to be right now so just eating around maintence to help increase strength maybe shed some pounds and add some muscle won't compain about that.

I'll update my latest two workouts below most is from memory so bare with me if numbers are a bit off.

Tuesday- 11/29/11

Upper Body

Team workout today focused on upper body not going to post exactly since its a bit confusing bt give the general jist of it.

Warmup- 5 min bike
Static/Dynamic stretching
Foam roll

Most of the workout involved an upper body lift supersetted with either an ab work or supplementary lift the workout itself wasn't that great doesn't hit much muscles which is why i do most of the bulk of lifting on my own.

The main lift was Push Press i did 4 sets of 6 with my last one being 155x6 felt good on the press and could have gone higher but for less reps and he wants us at 6 reps, Was supersetted with physioball work.

Other sets involved work with TRX Bands and bodyweight movements nothing really to say other then not the best workout

Finised workout with med ball circle then got in some pullups and forearms.

Tommorow i'll hit probally an extended back/bis/shoulder workout since it will be last indepent workout of the week,
