Seeking advice and comments on my 3year goal and training

BCBulldog · 11-11-2006, 06:50 PM

Hey IM Brothers!
I have been going faithful to the gym hard now for 6 months 3-5x/week depending on the routine. Been working out (less than faithfully) for 20+ years.
Currently on Bill Starr's 5x5 to solidify my base and put on some mass. I'm 211# at 5'10 with 13.5%bf. My goal is to get to 265+ in 3 years (and 50yo)
My diet is a clean 3600cal/day 45P/35c/15P. Is this too low?
I am seeing good improvement in muscle but not much weight gain. I am hesitant to up my calories for fear of getting my gut back (still trying to tighten up the lower abs)
I feel ready to start my first cycle in the new year and know this will help. It will be a basic Test E and EQ cycle (Nolva PCT)
I guess my basic question is am I on the right track with what I am doing? And are my goals realistic?

LIFT HEAVY!

i think your goals are very realistic and possible

if your eating clean, then dont worry about upping your calories.

did you mean 45 p/40 c/ 15 f ?

Yes, that's correct. Me bad (typing is not my forte).
Just getting used to the new diet and fine tuning. I found a great post on here dealing with post w/o nutrition which I am encorporating (link below)
Post Workout Nutrition
Now I just need to add the blood, sweat & tears (and a few cycles at the right times)
I AM LOVIN' THIS!

If your eating clean I'd push the cals closer to 4000 and see how you respond. Give the 2x bw for protein a go also. So shoot for around 420p or 1680 cals from protein. Your better off upper your cardio then cutting the cals IMHO if you start to see fat gain.
