Score one for good ole fashion food

Every since I crashed bad on my diet. I Figured that I would gain back all the muscle I lost and then some and then go back and redue my diet . Well I started bulking and was making o.K gains on the scale and the gym. THe thing that was pissing me off was how fast my B/F was going up. I read a post by BIG A that all weight gainer shakes are sugar. With the shakes, my diet was about 5k. I decided to change to five meals and 1 100% pure whey shake. Well ever since I did that, my weight has jumped from 251 to 274, B/F has gone 4%

Bench press is up 20+ (in the 5 rep range)
Squat is up 35 (in the 8 rep range)
Deads are up 40 (in the 4 rep range)
Biceps are up 1inch

If it wasnt for one stupid partol at work I would dump protein shakes all toghter. Ever time I go the gym, im gaing an average of 2-3 reps on all major moves and im clean. Cant wait to see what happens when I do my next cycle.

P.S My style of training is revolved around just one main set with the execption of the first where I do 3x warmups!

Hmm

Sort of a dogg crap type routine, or can you give us some more info on your training, like a typical weeks workouts.

Thanks

I train 4x a week

Monday is Chest/Biceps
Tuesday is Legs
Thursday is Back
Friday is Delts/Tricpes

Basically what I do is on the first main move, like Incline bench presses, deads,squats,military presses. I will do 3x warmups and then one main set. Have a spotter besides me and I will do as many as I can (on thev first main set) and then have him/her help me get 2-3 extra reps in a very slow negative fashion. After that I will add 2-3 other exercises and just have 1 main set which I train by myself. Ill do as many reps as I can, drop the weight. Wait ten seconds and do 2-3 more reps. Drop, wait 10, do 2-3 more. Finshed, the whole rountie never takes more then 45minutes.

You must keep a training log with you. When you go next week, you know what rep number you must break! The mind will fail you first but you can do it. Just find a way to make yourself angry!
