Here's a bit of background on what I've done for my transformation:
5 day split
Day 1 Legs
Day 2 Shoulders
Day 3 Biceps, Triceps, Abs
Day 4 Back
Day 5 Chest, Abs
I eat 6-8 times a day when bulking - 3 of those are protein shakes, the other 4-5 meals are solid foods: Whole wheat bagels, chicken breasts, tuna sandwhiches, salmon, brown rice, yams, eggs, etc...
When I'm bulking, I don't worry too much about my calories, however I hardly ever eat fast food, and I NEVER drink pop.
A couple of tips that I learned throughout my transformation:
1. Make your legs a priority -- I kill myself at the gym on leg day, and as a result my testosterone is running high!
2. Chin ups are awesome for the back. I like exhausting myself with 3 - 4 sets, then I'll do a drop set with the assisted machine.
3. Obviously a pre-workout and post-workout shake/meal is super important. This was lacking in my diet before.
4. I bought an MP3 player -- I never used to have one, and I suffered with the gym music (which is typically crap). Best $150 I ever spent. Now I listen to music that jacks me up.
5. I stopped making excuses about missing the gym. If I absolutely have to miss a day at the gym, I'll reduce volume on my next workout and combine it with my missed workout. Generally speaking though, I don't miss workouts.
6. I found heavy barbell shrugs really brought up my shoulder/trap area this past year...wish I had of known about them earlier.
Those are my tips! Most are common sense, but I guess I didn't have much of that back then
Cheers
