Good day mates,

My name is Chris, I am 29 years old and have hit a plateau, well i guess this is actually one of many in my fitness stent. I have been lifting hard since 2002. I am naturally a tall skinny guy 6'3 175 back in 02' now i am 205 body fat around 12%, the most i ever weighed was 212 body fat 15%. I have been looking at different forums for the past week and decided that this looks like a great place to learn and grow.

I know diet is my weak-point right now and that is hard to fix (I work six 12-hr night shifts then I am off eight days).

A normal workday of dieting for me looks something like this. (the time i eat at is in parenthesis.)
Breakfast (1500) - three whole eggs, two whole wheat wraps, cheese, and a glass of fruit juice that i blend myself.
(Workout)
snack 1 (1530) - 33 grams protein
snack 2 (2100) - large pbj
lunch (0100) - large bowl of vegetable soup with cheese and a sleeve of crackers.
snack 3 (0300)- grapefruit
dinner (0715)- three boiled eggs and two toast with butter

Thats pretty typical with the exception of, if I don't pack soup i will take baked chicken for lunch.

i workout one body part a day and recently started doing two workouts a day on my eight days off. i save most of my rest days for days i am at work because i don't get as much sleep over the six i work.

for example tomorrow is chest day i will go at 0900 and do a light weight workout for higher reps focus on volume but, never getting to failure. In the afternoon lets say 1600 i will hit a more intense workout and focus on heavy weight to failure. I will follow that with back, shoulders, legs, arms, cardio, and chest again then on my first day back to work i will take a rest day.

I am looking for some good advice on what to do. I would love to weight 215-220 with a body fat of 9 year round. i feel with my height that weight is do able.

any suggestions are much appreciated.

Cheers,
Chris

whats up bro bigmurph 30yrs young 5'10 219 bf 15% love fucking hot chicks live in so florida.would love to talk you seem pretty knowledge able. the thing about your diet I can say when you eat your eggs dont eat the yolk just whites try to cut out the white bread and try some grains watch the butter and the vegie soup how much sodium is in it.hope to hear back from ya i sent you a pm about my site but if you need to order some ventolin or clen try my site. http://www.gearedupstrength.webs.com/
I think if you want to cut weight fast thermogenics is the way to go but if you want like me i perfer ventolin doesnt work as fast but builds mucsle and cuts weight increases anabolism also.

to me it doesn't seem like you are consuming enough calories to gain weight. In fact.. i'm surprised you are not losing weight on that diet. I would up the calories quite a bit and see how that goes for you.
