    Noob looking to build mass , planning ahead, check list

    Ive been lifting for around 2years just out of enjoyment I now want to take it serious and build some mass so im just doing a check list and wanting to plan ahead and be ready

    Im 5ft10 currently 170lbs in weight not sure on body fat %
    Aiming for a clean bulk

    Per day :
    3000cal
    200g protein
    5g createin
    2x omega 3
    2x multivitamin complex tablets
    As much water as possible

    My foods will be items such as :
    Apples, bananas, nuts, milk, quaker oats , scrambled egg, toast, youghurt, minced beef, tuna, chicken,pasta, shakes

    I work 12hour shifts so I find it almost too easy to snack

    I work 2days 2nights 4 on 4 off

    1 question I do need to know is when im on a night shift and it hits 12oclock does my calorie counting start again ?

    Ive chosen to do a 3day split and will be lifting as heavy as I can for each exercise without breaking form also after each session ill be finishing of with 10mins HIIT due to the body fat I carry on my stomach

    The only thing I have working against me is lack of sleep as above I work 12hour shifts and have a 5month old baby

    My 3 day split im either going to go every other day or work for my 4 days then my 4days off I go to gym for 4days
    So 4on 4off

    Is there anything else I may have missed thats important for me to know to help me hit my goal ?

    Any help comments or criticism is more than welcome

    Im really motivated and cannot wait to get started and start to gain

    In order to answer this question, one must delve into the abyss of:

    ^not srs

    Whenever you wake up should be the easiest way to start calculating calories, it disregards work time etc.

    Your calories count starts when u wake up.
    If u have been lifting for 2 years then do the 3 days split for 5 month then move to something higher like 5 days split depends on if u have time or not tho.
    You can't cut and bulk at same time, you can't lose fat while bulking so u got 2 options:
    1- Get your calories less than your TDEE(main) with 300-500 and do some cardio and HITT and stuff and aim for fat loss
    2- Go with what you are doing now but since u are doing HITT u should count the calories u burn from that so for example if your main is 2600 and u burn like 200 calories with HITT then you need to eat 3100-3200 for a lean bulk Or u can just move the HITT to the free days when u don't lift and don't aim for fat loss while bulking won't happen. Need to bulk then cut, good luck man.
