Hey all! I started a training journal, but I wanted to ask this question here as well.
Let me give a little background;
College football player (o-line), I've always been a big guy. Towards the end of my collegiate career I had started to love the iron more, or at least as much, as the actual football. Soon after my football career ended, I made the transition to strongman competitions. I've done well, never placing outside of the top 3, with the exceptions of a 12th at nationals. This journey took my bodyweight up from the ~285 I played at, to 300. (I'm 6'2.5"). I tore a bicep, and decided to do some powerlifting while I recovered. Did pretty well, and ballooned up my BW while chasing an 800 raw squat. Got all the way up to 338. Felt strong and great, until I saw some pictures! This journey has been over 6 years now, and I'm sick of looking fat.
So, I know myself, and I need to compete to reach big goals. I am planning on doing a bodybuilding show to get the BF% in line. Then stay under 10% and transition back into strongman. I am looking for diet help/critique; so here is what I've started with.
28 yrs old
6'2.5" 294
Bf-18% bod-pod, 13.2% caliper
Base Diet Plan-
training Day:
1- 50g whey, 1 tbs natural peanut butter, 1 cup egg white
2-12oz meat(either grass-fed beef, or free range chicken) seasoned, but no added cals. Plus medium sized lettuce salad with 1 tbs EVOO+vinegar
3-same as 2
Intra-20g peptopro, 80g cyclic dextrin (start drinking during first lift, finish within 20 min post)
4-8 oz meat (same choices) 2 cups rice or sweet potato
5-1 cup egg white, 1 cup Kefir, 8 strawberries, 50g whey
1 cup of almonds snacked on throughout the day.
Non-training Day
I take out the intra shake, no carbs with meal 4. But make it 12 oz meat, and add 2 tbs EVOO, or Macadamia oil.
Supps-
D3
CoQ10
TN-Burn (3 caps am, and at meal 3)
GLC 2000 with 2 tbs Metamucil
10 fish oil
GHRP-2+CJC w/o DAC 100/100Xwake and before bed
Cardio-
3 times/wk 20 min-intervals
training-
4 heavy sessions with high volume (mountain dog style training)
2 lighter days for weak bodyparts (arms and calves 1 day, chest shoulders the other one)
This is my starting point. I'm interested to hear what everyone thinks. I've never done a real diet before, so I'm sure I'm missing something. I wanted to get myself to a bodpod 10%, then pick a contest and go for it.
Thanks in advance for the input.
