I'm looking to add friends who will share their food plans.
I've been working hard for 8 weeks. I've seen minimal muscle growth in chest and shoulders, not nearly as much as I expect. I feel stronger and my lifts are getting better and heavier.
I'm struggling with getting enough calories throughout the day. I tried high carb, high protein for awhile and I'm thinking about switching to High Fat, Low Carb, High Protein for a few weeks to see what happens when you use Fat as your main energy source. First day good so far if you like eating tons of bacon.
Next thing I might try is no meat all juice.
Anyone willing to share their food plans please add me.

What excercise are you doing for chest? and shoulders?
How many sets/reps are you doing?
What is your rest time between sets?
How many times a week do you bodybuild?
How many grams of protein do you eat per day?
What is your daily caloric intake?
Do you keep a log of your weight/sets/reps?
You need preworkout meal with carbs(to fuel your HEAVY lifting)
You might need postworkout fast absorbing protein.(within 15min after weight lifting) - eat lean chicken breast as a healthier choice.
Also alot has to do with genetics. But everyone can see their "newbie" gains rather quickly.0
