Hi guys, after a few weeks of training...

[RagingWaters]

Hello guys, I don't know if you remember me, I used to post somewhat. I'm sorry if this post is a bit out of place, but I believe you could help me the most since the info comes from here (read below).

Anyway, I've been picking up bodybuilding (once) again and training to gain some good ol mass. I've been training for 4 weeks with this schedule:

Wednesday: Chest/Back
Thursday: Arms

Saturday: Hamstrings/Quadriceps
Sunday: Shoulders / Abs

each day a total of 10 series per group of 8 - 10 reps each.

With a daily diet of:
1) Breakfast : Semi milk with cereal
2) 125g of peanuts
3) Lunch *MOM COOKS*
4) 125g of peanuts
5) Dinner: Whatever I find in the fridge

I gained a little weight (6, 7 pounds or so, most muscle), but still unsatisfied. I also gained noticeable strength (lifting 1'5 times the weight I lifted when I started, same technique, same everything).

So what? I remembered this post (http://www.cheekycherry.com/ccforums/showthread.php?t=111) and wondered if it worked. Do you guys had any success with this plan? If I wanted to undertake this, should I stop taking protein right now?

In return, I can give some information regarding extenders.

Cheers

I just read through the "FAQ (http://www.cheekycherry.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8179&highlight=bodybuilding)".

So what I'm planning to do is starting in the "phase 2", switching to 13 or so reps to fail (right now I'm doing 8 or so to fail) and lowering the load of the workout. (hyper-adaptative)

In 3 weeks time I'll increase the load again.(progressive)

In 6 weeks time I'll lower the workout load AND reduce the protein intake to 30g tops.

And after that I'll get to cycle. Simple, huh? Please post if you think I'm leaving something out. (If you think that I don't, well, whatever post anyway.)

Your eating plan is bad.

You need to consume a COMPLETE source of protein every 2-3 hours to maintain, repair and build muscle mass. So if you don't do that, the effort you put into your exercises is wasted.
The only complete sources of protein come from animal products - meat/poultry/fish, eggs, milk/dairy
And have a fresh vegetable with almost every meal. So you might chop up a tomato or cucumber, then sprinkle some garlic powder and extra virgin cold-pressed olive oil on it for taste, and eat it with your chicken/egg. Now you are eating a super nutritious, healthy, muscle (but not fat) building meal. You are getting omega-3 EFA (olive oil) and therefore increasing your immune system as well.
