Colibri Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Assuming I eat 500 calories more than maintenance on workout days? I usually have a 800~ calorie deficit (low carb paleo) and am nearing my goal weight. Thing is, my goals are strength and body recomposition.I follow the killroy70 plan, which is a 4 day WO. I'm a beginner so everything is starting from scratch.It starts with FSP work and then FBE work. This is my WO log.The question is, am I working out enough to warrant muscle growth, assuming I have a sensible diet in check? I don't want to look massively huge but something remotely close to the guy above would be nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Naterman Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 If you are doing more than your body is used to, consuming adequate calories, and consuming enough protein at the appropriate times then yes you will build muscle.Read my nutrition thread to learn more about protein timing.Killroy template is not designed to specifically build muscle, it is an introductory protocol that works well for beginners. If you specifically want to build muscle you will either need to learn how to do so through self education, read the threads currently available, hope someone helps for free, or find someone who knows what they are doing and acquire their services for an acceptable price.Sorry to be blunt, but that's how it is. What we do here is easily adaptable to efficient muscular gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be on a caloric surplus and instead of hypertrophy, I could just be getting fatter.

A physique like yours would be amazing (someday eh )Thanks again slizzardman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
