Building Muscle
Hey Dr.
Ok heres the sitution. Im 20, I weigh approx. 140-155lbs and am 5'11 1/2" tall. Im pretty active and have a very low body fat %. Im pretty much all muscle, but want to to build more and become bigger by roughly 15-25lbs.
Im already pretty strong for my size from my warehouse job and from being a mechanic before that, lifting stuff all the time during a 9hour shift.
Im very active as it is, I walk everwhere when I have the chance, so I have the cardio from that.I started my routine yesterday. I bought a 910g Equate Whey Protein Drink Mix. It contains Whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate, whey protein hydrolysate.
I know you have to cycle the routine for it to work properly and so your body just doesnt become "used to it".
My routine using the powder mix,
Week 1 Loading phase: 20g a day with milk
Week 2-4 Maintenance phase: 10g a day with milk
Week 5-8 "rest phase": no supplement
But still exercising through out each week with a 2day workout,1day rest,3day workout,2day. And just alternating with that routine.Workin on seperate muscle areas by lifting different weights in varied reps/sets, and eating other high protein foods and lots of water.
I want to know if you think this is the best routine or should i switch it up somehow. By adding something else to the mix in any shape and/or form to help me better.
Thanks
-Evan
