Currently I started to cut. So I’m on a new work out plan. Typically it’s Leg day, Chest, shoulder, bicep day, back & arms day, and abs & back day. A little running during the week. My diet is mostly protein shakes, chicken & rice. Sometimes pasta. And I eat about 3 meals a day. WithHey man, you look like your are getting there, I’m on the same journey your on. What’s your diet like and what’s your current workout plan?
Since we've never met or trained together, it's very difficult to give specific points I think you should follow.Currently I started to cut. So I’m on a new work out plan.

Thank you. Eating is what I’m struggle with the most. It’s hard for me to eat that many times a daySince we've never met or trained together, it's very difficult to give specific points I think you should follow.
I don't know how intensely you train... How often you train... How consistently you train. Diet macros... Etc...
But, based on the information you've given..
I would look at your workouts & set them up to work each body part two times a week.
Some people respond better to heavy lifting. I respond more to high volume training. 15 sets per body part... And, other than the first set to warm up, sets are done to failure. Breaks in between sets are kept to a minute or less.
Next, I'd look at your food intake.
Working that hard, the body needs plenty of fuel.
I eat 7 or 8 meals a day, every day.
I even keep a couple of protein shakes ready to drink when I go to the bathroom in the middle of the night
Looking for definition? Keep your protein high. 1 gram per pound of bodyweight is the norm. Weigh 170 pounds = 170 grams of protein.
Personally, I prefer it to be higher.
I'm at right around 200 lbs. So, I take in 300 grams of protein.
Keep sugar intake low. But, no need to be insane about it. (OMG!! Strawberries have fructose! I can't eat those!! Lol)
Using the "my fitness pal" app can be very helpful in keeping track of your food/calories. Kinda frees up your brain from worrying about food all day long.
Drink plenty of water.
Be consistent.
Happy to answer any specific questions you have.
Good luck!
Yeah. Unfortunately, the majority of your success is going to be a result of your food intake.Thank you. Eating is what I’m struggle with the most. It’s hard for me to eat that many times a day
I heard the rule was 1.5x your body weight for protein intake or something like that. I'm not saying you're wrong lol it depends on many variable and what not I suppose. 7-8 meals a day?? I wish I had that kind of drive haha 3 is difficult enough for me, but I'm trying to improve that. Also I wanted to ask you since you seem well versed in fitness (definitely more than me), what are some tips to keep in mind for working legs? I do Push-Pull-Leg spilt, but my legs weren't getting me anywhere so I started doing Push-Leg-Pull-Leg (2 rest days a week) to try and focus on legs more. I also started splitting my leg days into 1 Day Calf-Squats focus, Day 2 Deadlift/RDL focus, and if a day 3 happens....well lately I've been busy and missing that day lol. Just want your thoughts. Also I try to get 3,000 calories a day inSince we've never met or trained together, it's very difficult to give specific points I think you should follow.
