Hi guys,
I've only started working out and eating right for about six months. In that time I have found cutting simple enough but building muscle seems difficult.
Is it possible to make good gains? I train for 2 hours 2-3 times a week on court...I try and fit workouts on different days if possible. Some Saturdays I have matches, which are usually 4-5 hours straight tennis with little break.
1. Is it possible to make muscle gains with such intense matches? (won't all muscle break down?)
2. What can I do to build muscle more effectively? Eat during the match? Specific routine?
At the moment I am starting a 4 day split. 1.Chest/tris/abs 2. Back/Bis 3. Legs 4. Delts/traps/abs (rest day between 2 and 3 then 2 days off after 4)
My diet is cutting at the moment so on 3200 cals a day. Gone from 203lbs to 193 lbs in 7 weeks. I'm thinking 3800 cals a week for bulking? (remember I do so much cardio naturally need higher cals)
Your thoughts would be of great interest.
Jon

It wont hurt you
I'm convinced now that more then truth is at stake
Where people create language that pretends to communicate
Euphamisms are misundertood as mistakes
but its a bi-product of the ghetto music we make
From an extroverted point of view I think its to late
