Everything is revolving around work and my 18 month old son. I work from 0600 to 1600 and my son goes to bed around 2000. I was working out at 0400 every morning since it takes some time to get all 3 of us ready. My wife is due with our second in June. I found that when I lifted heavy in the mornings, my day sucked balls. I was very tired all day. I was doing Starting Strength for a while and the last 2 months I switched to Wendler 531 full body 3 days a week.
My 1RM are:
Bench: 230
Squat: 330
Dead: 330
OHP: 160
I'm going to start lifting after my son goes to bed around 2000. My morning workouts were fasted and I was taking 10g BCAAs pre, post, and an hour after post. I fast from 1800 to 1000. So when I switch to working out at 2000, I'm not sure whether to do the BCAAs or just hit a whey shake right before bed or nothing at all.
I guess what I truly suck at is counting macros. I can monitor my calories no problem. Right now I'm trying to stay at 2500, but I'm not sure if that is doable with the weight training that I'm doing. I weigh 213 with roughly 20% body fat. My workout days I consume slow carbs like oats, whole grain pasta, brown rice, etc. Off days I try to eat less carbs and eat meats, greek yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. My goal is to be shredded and still continue to get stronger.
Sorry this is all over the place. I'm at work and trying to get this out as fast as I can. How does everything look? Am I doing the right workout program? Would you be able to put together an eating plan and anything else that you think I need? Thanks for your help!
