Bulking and Cycling

Training Q&A [Moderated]

Hey Jordan. Hope you’re doing well? I’m a huge fan of your work.

I am a road cyclist but I would like to gain muscles. My goals are to gain up to 80 Kg and to get stronger, 2xBW Squat, 2.5 BW Deadlift.

I usually ride 25+hours a week and could train 4 days in the gym. I’m a Cat3 crit and tour racer. My goal for next year is a 4 day tour and a lot of crits. So I have to be fast and explosive.
My current stats:

BW: 69 Kg

Height: 178 cm

Squats: 100 kg 3x5

Deadlift: 110 kg 3x5

Bench: 65 kg 3x5

OHP: 45 kg 3x5

Should I do your beginner program? Which of your programs would you recommend?

Also I usually burn 4500-6000 calories a day. What does a 4500-6000 calorie meal plan look like? Any carbs recommendations?

Thanks in advance

Best

I think the beginner program is a reasonable place to start.

Regarding the specifics on the nutrition front, that’s getting to be a bit outside the scope of what we can discuss (particularly in a more individualized fashion) in the forum here, and is moreso the kind of thing that could get covered in a consultation.
