Overview of my Current Nutrition and Training

11/1/2012

Nutrition
My current macronutrient goals are  -
Regular days (6 days a week) – 50f 185c 200p ~ 2000cals
Refeed days (1 day a week) – 50f 400c 175p ~ 2750cals
*I try to intake at least 15g of dietary fiber each day*

I hit my macronutrient goals through whatever I feel like eating for that day. 
I don’t pay too much attention to meal timing as it is highly irrelevant to body composition. 
So some days I’ll have 6 small meals, other days 2-4 bigger meals. 
It just depends on whatever fits my schedule on that given day.


What IS highly relevant to body composition is if you are in a caloric surplus or deficit. 
That and the breakdown of how much of each macronutrient you are intaking. 
WHAT meal timing is relevant to is gym performance. 
So I try to have some type of carb source about ~45-60mins before a workout. 
Usually a ham or turkey sandwich :)


Supplements
Nothing fancy here just whey protein, creatine, a mutli-vitamin & fish oil.

Training
So right now what I am running is a power/hypertrophy split. 
There are many different variations out there; I am running it in a 6-day split.


Currently it looks like this:
Mon - Push Power
Tues - Back Hyper.
Weds - Legs
Thurs - Chest Hyper.
Fri - Pull Power
Sat - Delts/Arms Hyper.
Sun – OFF

Ideally I would have the order as:
Mon - Push Power
Tues - Pull Power
Weds - Legs
Thurs - Chest Hyper.
Fri - Back Hyper.
Sat - Delts/Arms Hyper.
Sun - OFF

The reason I am running it how I currently am is because I am training with 
my GF (3-4 day push pull split), so I tried to make my workouts coincide with hers.
Starting next week though I will be swapping my push with pull and back with chest, reason
being that I have her cycling one of work days to give it more frequency. So basically right now
she has two push days and one pull & leg day. She ran that for four weeks so now we're

gonna double up on her pull days. Then after those 4 weeks, we will double up the leg day.

Cardio right now is a weekly goal of 1000kcals burned. So I have it split up as this –
Mon – 200kcal (~20mins)
Tues – 200kcal (~20mins)
Weds – No Cardio
Thurs – 200kcal (~20 mins)
Fri – 200kcal (~20 mins)
Sat – 200kcal (~20 mins)
Sun – OFF

*Cardio is usually done post-workout or a few hours post-workout. 
Ideally I try to do it post-workout*


*The intensity is moderate-intensity, basically to the point where 
I can talk if I have to while performing the cardio but 
would rather not because it would wind me. On days where I’m 
feeling good I go as hard as I can until I hit my caloric burn for the day.*


Plans After The Cut
First I have to reverse diet, which is essentially walking my calories back 
up to bulking levels (~100-200 above maintenance). The way I will 
go about this is by adding ~100cal every week (or every other) in the form of carbs 
in order to stimulate my downregulated metabolism. Once that is complete I plan to bulk 
for 3-4 months. After every 3-4 months I will do a mini-cut (4 week long cut MAX) 
in order to keep any fat gained at bay. I plan to switch routines every 3 months or so. 
I have been doing the same routine for about 1.5 years and do want to try different 
stuff. One that I want try is a Upper-Lower Power/Hypertrophy split with an additional
workout day which will consist of a weak-point day.
