Full Day of Eating - Leg Day - BULK Series, Ep 6

Join me during a 12 week BULK Phase and see what it's really like to build muscle.

Ep.6 - Full Day of Eating, Bulking with NO Meat, My Daily MACROS, and Training Legs

I’m on week 2 of this bulk and it’s going great! This video features a full day of eating, including all cooking tutorials for meals. My macros appear with each meal and my daily total macros are included as well. Week 2 daily macros are: Protein: 208g, Carbs: 417g, Fat: 79g, and kCal: 3,200. I am currently eating a completely vegetarian diet. The only animal products that I am consuming are eggs, greek yogurt, and minimal whey protein. Check out the video for meal tips while bulking with no meat!

LEGS / CALVES - WORKOUT IN VIDEO

This workout is best suited for intermediate to advanced lifters. It can be modified for beginners by reducing the amount of sets. This workout takes a little over 2 hours with 1 minute or more rest periods. Barbell Squats are the major exercise for this workout and are set up in a big block of sets to help completely warm up the muscles and eventually go heavy. The workout includes several warm up sets to increase blood flow and add in repetitions to the workout. It’s a high rep, sweat inducing, muscle growing workout. Try it out for great quad growth and overall leg strength!
