As a high school student...

[CScheiner]

I really can't balance out my meals each day due to the conflict of scheduling, and for this winter bulking im expecting to get at least 8 lbs on me, so how should I go at the dieting approach? If you want my program here it is (it was also in another thread).



1: Dumbbell Fly – 4 x 6
Bench Press - 4 x 6
Incline Dumbbell Press - 3 x 6
Military Press – 4 x 6
Lateral Raises – 4 x 6
Close-Grip Bench Press – 3 x 6

2:
Dead lift – 4 x 6
Bent Over Row – 3 x 6
Cable Row – 3 x 6
Pull-ups – 3 sets to failure
Barbell Curl – 4 x 6
Lying Rear Delt Row – 3 x 6

3:
Squats – 4 x 6
Leg Curl – 3 x 6
Calf Raises – 3 x 6

Abs:
25 crunches held
25 reverse crunches
25 lower crunches



Also, anything else I should add to my #3 workout?

The way they are broken up, are they days?

If so, over training. Pick one or two exercises from each and do those. You don't need to be doing leg curls on squat day. Instead, try cable pull-throughs.

Your deadlift day needs to be farther apart from your squatting day, as they work a lot of the same muscles.

Throw ab day in with a leg day.

It worked really well for me to do a chest/back day. As you might guess, I dedicated an entire day to just dl's.

Can you throw Squats and RDLS on the same workout?

 

[CScheiner]

Yeah, actually that would be best for me, since i will probably skip my Leg Curls and go Leg Extensions instead.

Also, can someone respond to the dietary question?

Can you throw Squats and RDLS on the same workout?

Sure, I've done it before. Everytime I did, however, I would feel like the volume was too high. But which ever works for you.

 

[malkore]

I do squats and RDL's in teh same day, but proper RDL form is new to me, so I'm not maxing weight on that...yet.

I wouldn't do leg extensions for mass. using it with light weight it cna help warm up the knees, but heavy leg extensions are a great way to damage knees/cartilege.

Also, can someone respond to the dietary question?

Whats your diet look like?

 

[CScheiner]

The question is a generalization: How should I eat because I have school? I go to school from 7:45 to 2:15. If someone could make a diet plan I could revise it. Two major problems though... I -hate- fish and I have a very high intolerance to peanut/peanut extract (as in I won't die, but i get really sick). Oh and another thing, I dont believe if protein shakes.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

[LeiYunFat]

You might have to start believing. P-shakes are convenient, and if you've got a hectic schedule, that's all the reason you need. And it's not like fast food convenient, either. It's like a car convenient.

 

[CScheiner]

uh, is there any brands that come in non-sucky flavors though?

 

[xtonymarsx]

TONS come in Non sucky flavors. Try Optimum Nutrition's whey proteins. Chocolate Mint and Strawberry I know personally great with milk or water. Plus, it's cheap...$50 for 10lbs worth on some websites
