Help with New Routine.

I wouldn't worry too much about the number of sets. I think I did about 50 sets today and it was a light day.

Can you post up your full *planned* routine/split?

It should be interesting from a rehab perspective I think.

personally i think weight gainers are for people who are skinny and struggle to eat, you are far from skinny and still have a great physique my friend.

I would recommend MRP’s I use around 4 a day with two solid small meals, this allows me to control my calories, carbs and protein and fats better.

Like you im not a good eater and could not eat fish or chicken all day, so basically I now use MRP’s, my 2 meals will be whey protein and cereal or maybe egg based.

At the moment my bodyfat is hovering around 10% mark this is due to a change in diet from whole foods to MRP’s before my bodyfat was around 14% and very hard to work off using whole foods as I love my carbs.

i know peeps will slate MRP'S but i have great results with them.

Ok.

Started back at the gym monday. Felt great.

Only doing my morning cardio at the moment, and a few light weights.

Plan to start back at the gym at nights next week.

So far diet has been as follows:

6.00am - T5
6.30am - Morning Cardio - 30 minutes Treadmill + 20 minutes light weights
7.30am - 50g Whey + 50g Virtago + Glutamine + CEE
10.00am - MRP (47g protein / 50g carbs / 5g fat)
1.30pm - 100g Cous Cous + 2 Tins of Tuna
4.30pm - MRP (Same as 10am)
8.30pm - Carbs + Protein (Jacket + Tuna, Turkey Spag Bol, Chicken Pasta etc)
11.00pm - 50g Whey + SecreaGH

Obviously im not taking in a pre and post workout shake at night at the moment because im not doing evening training.

Feeling fuller and more pumped already after 3 days, but this is probably just where im back at the gym, eating regular and getting in my 4+ litres of water a day.

Looking at the diet I'd agree with Bodyworks, you're drinking your meals not eating them, I have the same issue with appetite but force myself to eat at least 3 solid meals per day.
There's no veg there either mate which isn't good, I would have salad veg with my mid day meal, peppers, etc and with my evening meal some green veg such as broccoli. ALso with that amount of shakes I'd add some soluble fibre just to keep things moving.

While I'm no doctor taking, eph, and clem etc will put the cardio vascular system under stress so I'd at least get ta thorough check up first and watch the Chinese clem it's twice the strength tab for tab as the European stuff.

Some low impact cardio wouldn't go a miss either, might also help work up a appetite

Good to see you using the MRP's mate, if you want to drop carbs further then Lee Labrada (spelt that wrong) does a low carb one around 25g... this allows me to have a higher carb meal.

MRP's have a very high vitamin count and are as good as any meal. I don't blame people been sceptical, but man they are great. there is no way i can force feed myself.

Sorry, I do stick in green beans, brocolli, etc with my meals, just didnt mention it.

I will be having 3 solid meals a day, Pre and Post Workout Shake and 2 MRPS.

Solids @ 9am / 1pm / 8pm
Pre @ 4.45pm
Post @ 7.00pm

MRP @ 11am and 3pm

Im doing cardio 3 times a week at the moment, and will up this to 4 once i get back into the swing of things.

Have noticed my appatite increase a little more this week too, which is good.
