Hey Guys.
Ive talked about this a lot in the past, and can never make my mind up.
Im seriously thinking about moving more into the strongman/powerlifting style routine rather than the body building.
What kind of changes are needed to both Diet and Training?
Is it an easy thing to do (i.e changing the routine) - I know SM/PL isnt easy!
At the moment my training looks like this:
Mon, Tue, Wed, Thr, Fri (am) 25 Mins Cardio (treadmill) + 20 mins medium weights/abs
Mon, Tue, Thr, Fri (pm) 45min - 60mins Weights. Compounds twice a week (mixing up deads/squats/bench/military press) and hitting the same body part only once per week.
Diet is pretty straight forward at the moment.
Mon - Fri: Clean but big(ish). Pasta / Oats / Tuna / Chicken / Fish / Potatoes / Veg. 4 x 50g whey shakes per day, 2 of them with 50g carbs.
Totals per day mon-fri roughly: 400g - 450g Protein / 300 - 400g carbs / 50g fats.
Sat/Sun: Diet lacks a bit here, not that i eat bad, i just miss a lot of meals due to sleeping/resting/being out. Probably hit half the above on a saturday, and sunday about 250g protein/500g carbs/100g fat.
Water intake is good, at least 6 litres a day.
Alcohol, well, I drink about 2 bottles of red wine and about 6 pints of lager in a week.
Supps: Loads of vits, creatine, whey and WMS.
Any advise on moving from bodybuilding style -> Strongman would be great.
