For the site that i'm doing the trial for, i had to write a full log of nutrition, training, supps and goals. Here it is:

About me/my stats

Body Type: Endomorph
Weight: 210
Height: 5'9"
Age: 21
Measurements: Waist 36", arms 17 1/2" pumped, legs 24 1/2"
Years training: 6 years total, just under 2 years seriously
Lifts to note:
Deadlift 202kgs - 445lbs
bench 140kgs ~ 310lbs
Squat 120kgs ~ 265lbs (i have bad knees ) - leg press ~ 320kgs = 700lbs
Shoulder press dumbells 46kg for 3 reps ~ 100lb dumbells
Decline press dumbells 125lbs for 6 reps

Goals

Currently Bulking

In the short run I have the following goals by Easter time (April) :

Hit 225-230lbs bodyweight without gaining too much fat.

Get my rear delts up to the level of my front/sides for improved posture and get those 'boulder shoulders'. :P

Also to get my arms 18" pumped.

Lift Goals by Easter time (April) :

220KG 1 rep-deadlift
150KG 1 rep-bench press (just a belt)
350KG Leg-press
140lb dumbell decline press
110lb (50kg) dumbell shoulder press

Nutrition

I aim for 7 - 8 'meals' per day. I say 'meal' here because i'm including the pre and PWO food here as meals. Realistically I eat 4000 - 4500 cals per day, with approx 300 grams protein, 500 grams carbs, 125 grams fats. I'm very consistent in my food and pretty religiously eat every 2 - 2 1/2 hours, and almost every day is the following:

Meal 1 - Morning shake:
1 1/2 scoops dymatize elite whey, 1 banana, 1 tablespoon peanut butter, 3/4 pint of skimmed milk, 100 grams oats, 1 egg whole, 5 egg whites blended.

Meals 2,3:
150 grams lean white meat (normally chicken or turkey) with approx 150 grams (cooked weight) of brown rice with cashews (raw) and raisins, sometimes with some pesto.

Meal 4: Pre-workout:
Either a 1/2 portion of the above, or oats with 1 1/2 scoops whey, 6 egg whites in the blender.

Meal 5: Post-Workout:
2 scoops of whey, 1 egg whole, 5 whites with 3/4 scoop of dextrose.

Meal 6,7 (Meal 6 is normally 1 hr after PWO):
Meal like meals 2,3, or 100 grams noodles with 2 or 3 cans of tuna (130 grams/can), normally split in half. Sometimes I may substitute this meal for 2 slices of wholemeal bread with peanut butter, or for 2 wholemeal pitta breads with low-fat humus, or 10 eggs (2 yolks 8 whites) on 2 wholemeal toast slices - this is normally a relaxing part of the day in front of the TV/PC etc.

Meal 8 (before bed):
1 1/2 scoops dymatize elite whey, 1 1/2 tablespoon peanut butter, 1 pint of skimmed milk, 1 egg whole, 5 egg whites blended.

Points to note:
All bread, rice etc is the wholemeal alternative. Peanut butter used is all natural and 98% peanuts. Milk is always skimmed. Eggs are lion-quality and are normally consumed raw unless in meals 6,7. I occassionally eat out, but when I do its nothing too bad, like Nandos (half chicken, chips () and corn). This would normally mean replacing 2 meals, but having a protein flapjack bar within that period too.

Snacks:
If i do snack, then it is with Chemical Nutrition Pro-flapjack bars (cherry and almond flavour), or the odd teaspoon or two of peanut butter.

Exercise/Training

I currently train between 5 and 6 days per week for weights, with 10 minutes cardio after each workout on fairly low intensity (HR about 130 - 140 BPM) - although have to admit i have only JUST started that cardio, and haven't been doing any at all. Normally the weight training takes 1 hr 15 mins.

Training split is not 100% tight, because I base it on DOMS pains but also sometimes tying in workouts with my training buddies. Here is a TYPICAL week though:

Monday: Chest
Tuesday: Back
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: Arms
Friday: Legs
Saturday: Shoulders
Sunday: Off, or not.

I do not encorporate a strict AB schedule, perhaps I should, but scatter doing some ab work in 2 of the training days.

just got back from a real pussy 30 minutes bicep/tricep workout (got an exam tomorrow so it was just to kill some time away from revising...)

i know I wont get any doms tomorrow i didn't have the aggression or anything to really push it. Been feeling ill in the last few days and not slept right either.

BUT - a good thing - had my arms measured today, the right one 18 " and left one just over 17 1/2 !!! this means i've reached one of my goals i set myself for easter, getting 18".

Feeling mighty fat though, weight still hovering around 15 5
