It is good to take few eggs in the breakfast. Try to drink 1 KG of whole milk every day after workout if possible. Along with this eat CARBOHYDRATE in form of bread or potato or by any means as a full meal.

after all I think eating is only the major factor in the bulkups exercise is only the second my friend .

If you not taking enough carbohydrate then the protein you take for growth will convert into fuel (calorie) for your body and your muscle will not get enough protein for repairing purpose which will hurt your bulkups plan and recovery time i think .

No problem and well done.

You are probably around the point where you need to consider what programme to move onto. Once you start always taking several weeks to get the next weight SL stops been the best choice. Two of the most common ones to move onto are Wendler's 531 and the Texas Method


Dear BKS ,
Hope you are fine. i have check my 1RM yesterday. Here is the workout. I think 5x5 is working for me upto know.

It is working but the extent it works will slow. It doesn't make sense to have set number in mind, it's about how you are progressing. So if it becomes difficult to keep adding weight then you change, there's no way of knowing how that will relate to getting 120kg or any other weight. You just need to be aware of it at this point, not necessarily switch right now. You want to do SL as long as you can but you don't want to do it when it feels like you are taking weeks to get each weight for 5x5. It's a personal call when exactly that point is

If a person is without power rack and any supporter then some time 5x5 reduced to 3x3 or 2x2 due to safety purpose . The other aim is to increase the volume without getting hurt. I will make it 5x5 when gain strenth to make it full otherwise i will not move to the next working weight .

Have a good day

Yes I am doing stronglift 5x5. It is clear from previous log that every work will end at a 5x5.

cheers

Properly doing SL is try for 5x5 twice, if you don't get it then you deload. 2x2 is pretty far off so most would deload from that without bothering to try again
