My Approach To Body Beast

Many of you have been wondering how i will be approaching Body Beast, and I have been getting tons of questions on what my nutrition plan will look like and ect. so i decided i will right a blog to answer all these questions.

First of all i will answer this question i have been getting a lot lately. "Shawn i didn't think you were into the body building look. what has changed your mind about getting big?"
- that is correct that i'm not a fan of the big bulky body building look. I like being lean a lot more and i feel better being lean. with that said tho i have come to the conclusion that since i am still young my testosterone is still very high so since i am young and have great T levels I thought this would be the perfect time in my life to take advantage of that and build a little mass. I don't want to be huge, my goal is just to build a bit more mass and gain maybe 5-10 pounds of muscle.

Second question. "Shawn you will loose flexibility and core strength by doing this program won't you because it's just old fashion lifting and such?"
- If i was going to do the program the way it is laid out yes i might loose some of my functional fitness foundation i have build over the years but i will not let that happen. My approach to BB will be a little different than the laid out schedule, for one i will be doing yoga weekly and some days i will be throwing in some P90X2 workouts because i have learned to do things with that program that no other program has even come close too, so yes i will be following the BB schedule but i will add maybe Chest, Back, and Balance, X2 Chest, Shoulders, Triceps, V-Sculpt, ect sometimes. And i will be adding yoga weekly.

Third Question and the most popular one. "Shawn what are going to be your goal calorie amount, and macronutrient ratios?
- my calories will be based off 19 calories per pound of body weight, i have found that to work best for me to put on lean muscle and minimize fat gain. I will be starting off with 2400 calories with 40/40/20 ratios, i just came off a leaning down plan of 2000-2200 cals (45/35/20) so i will be gradually upping my cals as i need them. you will notice that my plan is not the exact same as the Beast schedule well that is because i don't like how the bulk phase is so much longer than the others, my goal is not to gain a bunch of fat with this program and i feel that if i follow the schedule as laid out i would put on more fat than i want, my goal is to keep body fat below 6.5% i will not allow it to get any higher. I will monitor my weight and body fat every 2 weeks too see if things need changed.

Below is the diet i will use and then in each phase up the calories, all is laid out below.

                                                                Phase 1 (build- 4 weeks)

Phase 2 (Lean Mass Build- 2 Weeks)
