Weight gain problems

[Nico Garcia]

As long as you can still get stornger that is a good sign. Scale the weight down, work back up, rinse lather repeat. Your upper limit will change with time.

Great Robert thanks. I’m using this RP Diet Coach, with which I saw you were affiliated in some way. Works great!

The diet app is a good one so long as you keep with the structure.

I will take the opportunity to ask Robert; What proportions of carbohydrates/proteins should a good weight gainer have? I was considering buying some.

[Robert Santana]

Typically a 1:2 ratio is pretty good. So 50 g protein and 100 g carbohydrate of 60/120 is usually the ballpark that I have seen in the past.

I guess I was a little overzealous when I thought I could keep adding to my lifts while in a caloric deficit. This week, and specifically today, it finally caught up with me and I hit a wall on my intensity day.

This fat loss diet is lasting 4 more weeks. After that I will go into maintenance for 2-4 weeks and then back into a bulking phase.

How do you typically approach adjusting programming while in a fat loss phase?

I’m running Texas Method and it isn’t really a program designed to work in a caloric deficit.

Get off TM and adjust your intensity down to a level that you can complete then work back up from that. A 4 day HLM style split should work.

OK, thanks Robert.
