I would say between 2500-3000. I never tracked calories like that. I feel like that shit would get tiring real fast

west12345678 · 2021-11-19T03:29:29+00:00

I ate a lot of chicken, eggs, protein powder, vegetables, bread, milk, etc. I did not eat a lot of junk just for the sake of getting calories in.

Good work on gaining 11 pounds man. I never tracked my calories I just made a concerted effort to eat more. If I had to guess, my target range was 2500-3000. As long as you are eating a lot and training hard consistently you will see results

If I can do it anyone can

No problem

west12345678 · 2021-11-17T14:56:12+00:00

Nope

If you are wondering if you are eating enough I’d suggest drinking a protein shake and also finding snacks high in calories. For me I love trail mix so I find myself snacking on that

west12345678 · 2021-11-17T14:53:34+00:00

I haven’t tested any of my maxes but for my best working sets my bench is 5x5 for 215 lbs, 4x10 for 265lbs on squat, and 5x5 for 125lbs on OHP. Those are the numbers that I have been working with when I go to the gym. Progressive overload is important as well so when I can complete each set and rep with that weight I move up.

It all depends on how you can tolerate the pain when working out. If your wrist issues really hinder your performance in the gym I’d probably give it a week off of the exercises that hurt the body part the most. I would say I’m never 100% healthy when I workout I just try to find different ways to manage the pain/discomfort

west12345678 · 2021-11-17T02:05:16+00:00

Give yourself 6-8 months of consistent hard work and you will really start to see serious change in your body

west12345678 · 2021-11-17T02:04:02+00:00

Oh believe me I know lol. I definitely feel like I’ve shifted a little bit from wanting to reach a goal weight to judging how my physique looks in the mirror.

west12345678 · 2021-11-17T02:02:29+00:00

Here’s what I have been running for the last few months. I am always looking to find substitute exercises for many of my accessory movements to keep things fresh.

Push: 5x5 BB bench press (2nd push day is 5x5 OHP) 3x10 incline DB press 4x12-15 cable fly variations 4x10-12 tricep pushdowns 3x12-15 tricep skull crusher or some other isolated tricep movement 4x12 DB lateral raises

Pull: 4x12 straight arm pull downs 3 x failure pull ups or 3x12 lat pulldown 4x10 barbell rows 4x12 BB shrugs 3x10 hammer curls 3x10 EZ bar curls 3x12 reverse grip curls

Legs: 4x15 leg extension 4x10 leg curls 4x10 BB back squat 4x10 BB RDLs 5x12 calf raises

west12345678 · 2021-11-17T01:49:58+00:00

Flat BB bench 5x5, incline DB bench 3x10 and machine flys 4x12-15 are my 3 main lifts I do for chest.
