Concerns after 4 months of lifting
Hello, i would like some opinions on what i did on the last 4 months. After a few years eating 1 meal per day (at night after leaving job) and with a very hard personal problem i decided to change things.
Started researching more about bodybuilding and eating so i decided to take a try, to make things shorter here is the deal: started bulking at 114lb, now at 148lb, thing is i feel i added a lot of fat instead of muscle. I definately got stronger, as started doing flat dumbbell press with 8kg, now im doing with 20kg, but i feel i could have done much better. I thing one of my mistake was like taking two weigh gainer shaker a month and half ago, they had like 260g of carbs, plus what i was eating daily on my meals. Right now im doing a full body split 3 times per week, cut the weight gainer shaker to a much less caloric one and taking only 1 time daily, all the workouts i try to go heaviest i can, so they are like this:
Monday: Flat db press, squat, latpulldown and reverse latpulldown, shoulder press.
Wendnesday: Incline db press, leg press, shoulder press, latpulldown and reverse latpulldown.
Friday: Same thing as monday but adding dips.
Meals are like this:
9.30 - 3 eggs scrambled with a few slices of ham + 1 banana.
13:30 - rice with grilled fish or some potatos with chicken
18:00 - Pasta with tuna
19:30 - 30g of almonds
22:00 - One scoop of optimum pro complex gainer (600cal, 60g protein, 85g carbs)
23:30 - 330g of yogurt
Of corse i change my meals, most of the time i try to eat meat oh each meal, sometimes instead of the yogurt or the banana i add a peanut butter sandwich or smth like that. I have a really hard time sleeping, i go to sleep at 12:00 lets say, most of the time i cant get a deep sleep until morning, so sometimes i wake up at 2.00 and stay awake until 2.30 and then again from 3.30 to 4.00. And i wake up at 9.00 everyday to go job.
My main concerns are: Did i get that fat or its ok for bulking? Should i keep this workout schedule or change to a lets say 4 times per week (chest/back/biceps+tricpes/legs+shoulder)? If i keep lifting like this and trying to grow the weight weekly it should give me good gains?
Sorry for the crap pictures and thank you.
