This is a 10 week powerbuilding programme aimed to help you build a physique and get stronger 🤝
This programme combines the disciplines of bodybuilding, callisthenics & powerlifting; very different to any other programme you will find yet has been blended together incredibly
DIET ADVICE:
This programme is suitable for those wishing to lose weight/fat, increase muscle and/or bulk up. This is due to the fact that these goals are also largely determined by your DIET.
The most optimal way to increase muscle and strength is to be in a CALORIE SURPLUS (taking in more calories lost through exercise), HOWEVER you can still gain strength & muscle whilst at maintenance calories or a CALORIE DEFICIT although it won’t be as rapid.
Also to add for those trying to lose weight, muscle can be gained/maintained by making sure you’re getting in a good/larger protein intake whilst cutting down (but not fully removing) your carb and (healthy) fat intake.
In conclusion, a calorie surplus of around 200-500 calories will be ideal for those wishing to gain weight & muscle. For those looking to lose fat/weight a deficit of 200-300 below maintenance is ideal. Calorie calculator apps and websites are available everywhere online which will tell you how much you’re consuming, please use them.
How to calculate calories? A food scale will be able to tell you how many grams of the food being weighed you’re about to eat.
You can then look at the serving size at the back of the container/packaging which will tell you how much calories you’re having per amount gram and serving.
Apps like MyFitnessPal are a great way of tracking your calories and I do recommend using them.
The programme is designed into a 5 day split, closely similar to the Push/Pull/Leg split. The aim of the programme is to ensure there’s enough volume but also enough rest for your nervous system.
