Trying to get/keep lean muscle

I will give the 5X5s a try! How long have you been doing them and have you changed up the workouts?

Lift heavy and eat tons of protein!!

What do you eat to gain that protein? All of numbers are very low. I am really going to work on eating more. What do you all eat that is healthy?

do 5x5 for about four months and then look to move to a more intermediate program..

good sources of protein = chicken, fish, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, eggs, pork, steak , etc..

and you don't need "tons of protein"....you need about .8 to 1 gram of protein per pound of lean mass...

We won't really be able to help you with your diet unless you open your diary. I'm assuming you mean that you are under eating when you say "All of numbers are really low." Cut back on the cardio and really focus on your lifting if you want to make good progress.
