Hi guys,
Gabe here. First time/long time. Like a lot of the guys on here I have been lifting off and on my whole life but have not been serious enough about it to see any really meaningful gains. I mostly just keep fit and stay "healthy". I look good but on the average side. I can do much better. Although I am pretty consistent with my visits to the gym, my diet could be better. I try to eat heart healthy and low fat but have no real structure/approach other than trying to make the best food choices I can when faced with them. Although I feel good on average, when it comes to my weightlifting goals this is not getting it done as you might imagine. Im ready to take my efforts to the next level. I have identified my diet as the area where I can make the biggest improvement. Im sure I need work in my routine and supplements but I am starting here first (ill worry about the other stuff later).
Since my goal currently is to bulk a bit (around 15lbs) Im looking for suggestions from you guys who are makin' it happen. I'll handle the discipline part but can anyone suggest how to go from not really paying a lot of attention to diet to full on bulking strategy? Im reading stuff but its so much better to get advice from real people. Im feeling a bit lost.
If it matters ill mention my workout routine here also (3 day split):
D1-CHEST/ARMS 3x15
bench press, incline press, standing tricep ext, overhead tricep ext, bar bicep curl, dumbbell bicep curl
D2-BACK/SHOULDERS 3x15
lat pull down, seated row, military press, dumbbell flys, cable shrugs
D3-LEGS 3x15
smith squat, smith dead lift, leg ext, leg curl, calf machine
Im also looking for a good iphone app to track my nutrition. I'm using fooducate right now but it's not really wired for weightlifting or weight gain at all. Wondering if you guys found something better?
Thanks for any insight fellas.
