Seems decent and 3 days which is right for me. I find I'm more consistent if I commit to 3 days. I'll look into this routine once I'm done re-strength training.

I currently weigh 200 lbs. I'm 6.0 feet tall. My estimated body fat % is around 16%. I'm about to start a 6-8 week cut starting tomorrow. I calculcated by maintaince cals to be just over 2400. I'll be doing -10% under maintenance on WO days, and -30% on off day.
I've focusing on gaining strength/size last 4+ plus months without minimal fat gain, and I haven't been counting calories during this time.
I was probably eating around 3000-3200 cals on WO days, and around maintenance on off days. I eat a lot carbs on off days PWO. Keep the fats low, and protein high. High protein, higher fat, and low carbs on off days. Below are my food staples (I'm copying this from another a comment post i made on a fitness blog).
Protein:
Chicken breast, pork, wild salmon, beef (prefer steak over ground beef), eggs, greek yogurt (also buy kefir yogurt)
Carbs:
Potatoes (sweet and white), quinoa, cereal (only PWO) fruit (apples, bananas, pears, berries, grapefruit, ezekiel bread/tortillas
Veggies:
frozen broccoli + various frozen veggie mixes, fresh cauliflower and cabbage, peppers, etc
Miscellaneous:
flax seed, cocoa nibs, chia seeds, hemp seeds, avocados, coconut oil (also love shredded coconut), olive oil. almonds, walnuts, almond milk (for the cereal), protein powder (added to yogurt, pretty much never make shakes), fish oil (skip on days I eat salmon), hot sauce, salsa, bbq sauce, A1 steak sauce

I agree. I used to fall into the whole Casein protein powder thing, but I have a tub that I bought at the beginning of the year that I haven't even put a dent into. My gains have been perfectly fine without.Bros I been a loyal member of the ON GOLD STANDARD WHEY club for years...but when it comes to my casein, im a lost puppy.
Usually i been buying greek yogurt or cottage cheese for casein before i go to bed.
But that ish has gotten to expensive, and its a hassel to have to keep making trips to the grocery store as soon as i run out of yogurt.
I wanna invest in a casein tub.
Is the 100% casein from ON better, or the Syntha-6 protein. Ive done some research and Syntha-6 has fast and slow processing proteins, so you can drink it in the morning and at night. Its gotten good reviews too, however the fat content is a tad bit high compared to ON's products. Is the fat content worth it if i can use it as a meal replacement as well?
I am 6'3 180 lbs trying to do a clean bulk right now (because I've still got body fat im trying to take care of even though most people think I look "skinny")... which one would you recommend?
there is absolutely no need for a casein protein, speed of digesting isnt really that important either, if u must drink something before bed just drink anotheer on shake but if u must get one dont buy syntha 6 the macros on that are terrible its more of a meal replacement that a protein shake, majority of the proteins out there are blends right know
Food isn't something I have a problem paying a premium for. Cottage cheese is worth it. Not to be one of those "swear off supps" dudes, but it gets to a point where we wind up reaching for a bottle or a tub of something as opposed to good ole fashioned whole foods. Stick with the yogurt and the cottage cheese. Add in some nuts and/or fruit for extra calories.
Looks like I'm going to get an early gym session in tomorrow. I'm on call and don't have to travel to the office so it'll be nice to train early, plus one of my boys is begging me to motivate him, lol.
Going to hit chest hard as hell tomorrow.
Need to stock up on some fruit as the sweet tooth is going crazy. Don't want to feed the craving with something that isn't clean.
As for military press vs. dumbbell press, both are perfectly fine. I don't necessarily have a preference. Military press is good for the core. I prefer to do my DB presses seated personally. Military standing.

would you do both? I was thinking about adding Arnold DB press.
And yea to the Casein thing, my gains have been good but I think it just had to do with my putting in work in the gym.

I see nothing wrong with this. I have my 2 cheat meals on the weekends.
I haven't post regularly since the first thread started years ago...just want to know if you guys talk about music you all work out to in here? If so, what are you all listening to? Thanks.

yea on weekends I usually try to haee 1 cheat meal on sunday or sat (sometimes both days) and some times I just go ham both days on some idc idc idc stuff. When I go crazy both days I try to go extra ham during the week and even lower on my calories if possible and still have gains but end up holding a tad bit more water.

I was gonna do 5X5 of each, idk if my body is use to it but I dont feel dead so to speak when I`m done like other guys say. I mean I can feel my muscles are work but after I do my cardio at the end I feel straight.

Got on the scale this morning and lost 4lbs since last monday weigh in
I ate horrible on monday and tuesday also.
I'm telling you bros writing down my macros changed my life for a lack of better words.
With all that said lets all bring in 2013 and continue to reach our goals. I'm officially down around 55lbs since starting my new lifestyle in march/feb of this year, I went from 230 to 175 as of this morning. I only want to lose about 10 more pounds and then start putting some lean mass on. Good luck to everyone on here wether you post or just lurk, and always remember, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

do it. just make sure you research the trainers at the gym. get QUALITY that you can use when/if you decide to ever leave them. Some trainers are *** when it comes to form and quality of movement. also be ready to dumb down a bit if you're already good on certain movements and lifts.
I'd also advise to stick with it for a couple months. go all in. drink the kool-aid and commit. see what you can do with your time there..if it fits you, then keep up. I see too many skeptics who only give it a day or a week..but we all know you will never see any sort of results in that amount of time.
have fun tho
