Hi All,
First post. Im sure you see a million of these types of posts everyday so please forgive me if this is answered in numerous posts or is redundant.
I've always been a skinny build, and became "skinny fat". I finally decided to do something about it and in the last 9 months I have gone from 210 pounds, 24% body fat to 190 pounds, 14% body fat. I am 6''3. I have been lifting "heavy" along the way mixed in with high intensity cardio. I am finally very happy with my body (aka my pecs are defined and my muffin top isnt spilling over my jeans) I am hitting PRs in deadlifts, bench press, front and back squats and am feeling really good!
But... Now I want to add size. Good size.
I want to push myself and lift heavy, as much as I can do. I know that eating will also be a big part of this. I am just sort of lost on the process. I know I need to gain some weight to bulk but I dont want to gain "bad weight". The though of getting fat again haunts me haha.
My routine right now looks like this:
Gym at 7am
protein shake (Kaizen Naturals 100% Whey Protein)
0% Greek Yogurt with strawberries and scoop of Whey protein at 10:45 am
High protein lunch at 1 pm (chicken+veggies or beef + veggies type of thing)
Simply protein Soy based protein bar at 3pm
High protein dinner (steak and veggies, chicken and veggies type thing) at 7pm
Then I have a bad habit of snacking around 9pm. getting better at finding alternatives like greek yogurt bars.
Will I gain size by following this routine while maintaining a good body fat%? Am I missing anything? Any advice at all? Like I said I am just flying by my own path this last year and trying to figure out what works.
