I am officially 11 weeks out from the Arnold Amateur. I now weigh 214 and am a little bit over five percent body fat.
This week was amazing. I hit the gym with reckless abandon and worked in a lot of volume. I actually worked out Monday through Sunday last week with no off days. My wife wanted to train Sunday, so I obliged! The diet is easy and I am literally force-feeding myself.
I am having Solution 5 four times per day and the other four meals are comprised of tilapia, broccoli and olive oil, peanut butter or almond butter.

My energy is great and weights keep going up! For example, I did 725 on rack lockout deadlifts for 1.5 reps! That mess was heavy!

My training split is:
Cardio is HIIT 2 days per week on the
treadmill. I do a 5 minute warm-up, then 15 sprints of 30 second high
intensity followed by 60 second low intensity. Following that is a
cool-down until I hit 30 minutes. Posing is to be performed at least three times per week.

Nutrition
Designed by Chuck and Team Scivation at a 35/35/30 fats/protein/carbs ratio. All diets for each group were controlled and exactly the same. This was a hypercaloric diet.
When I was doing the macro calculations, I used the Harris Benedict Equation with an activity factor related to the training program that was designed to gain lean body mass, therefore these subjects were all in a hypercaloric state. Protein grams were figured out first with them being 1 gram per pound of body weight.

Harris Benedict Equation:
The Harris Benedict Equation is a formula that uses your BMR and then applies an activity factor to determine your total daily energy expenditure (calories). The only factor omitted by the Harris Benedict Equation is lean body mass.

|
|
Due to the load and repetitions of the training program and the fact that the study was based on 10 reps (week 0) then 10 reps (Week 9), not a 1 rep max test, the typical macro ratio for each subject to gain LBM and prevent/lose body fat was 30% carb, 35% protein and 35% fat.
The goal of the nutrition plan was to provide calories for lean body mass gain yet balance insulin levels with each meal. Theory being, if you balance insulin you significantly reduce any chances of storing body fat, better yet lose body fat.
Each subject had the option to chose from the following protein, carbohydrate and fat sources that were already weighed properly for them. They simply had to physically weigh foods and eat:
Proteins: Carbohydrates:
Fats:
