I have been training properly on and off since i was about 18 (now 21), and im 6ft and have always been inbetween 70 - 73 kg. i always thought that no matter how hard i hit it i was never getting any serious gains, apart from muscles becomming harder. Whilst i have been training i have realised most people know the various lifting styles e.g lift heavy to get sizek, lift lighter to get ripped and most seem to follow them in some kind of way, but not alot of people actually make serious gains. I always thought that what i was doing was right in order to get bigger, as not only was i training but i was eating a serious amount of food everyday, or so i thought. fast forward to about 3 week ago andi came across the GOMAD thread in this forum and thought why not ill give it a go, now i can honestly hand on heart say i have not been following the diet strictly, but let me tell you the solid 3 meals a day along with bigger portions and healthier snacks are making a massive difference. usually i would wake up and eat toast or a bowl of cereal, and then for lunch maybe more toast or super noodles then maybe have a good meal for dinner, in between meals i would eat things like crisp, chocolate and biscuits, but now my typical days food will be a big breakfast such as a large bowl of cereal and fruit, then maybe a c ouple of tuna sandwiches followed a large dinner that will have a large portion of fish, chicken or meat in. instead of snacking on choc and such things i have rpelaced them with fruit and peanut butter on toast and also similar things, along with my new diet i have also been using the strong lifts 5x5 programme and have noticed a massive different in my strength, this is the first time that i have trained my legs and cant believe i have dodged the squat rack for all this time, i have been on this programme and diet for around two and half weeks and i have already gone up in weight to 75.4kg which is the heaviest i have ever been, and im also feeling alot stronger. anyone else had any similar results?, also anyone got any other snack ideas for inbetween meals?
