I looked through the 10 pages of this forum and only found one post on it (the Mutant Mass guy, not about to try that stuff). If I missed one, my bad.
I'm an ex-high level endurance athlete and a non prior. I'm shipping in late June. I'm mostly a little overwhelmed with what I "should" be doing and could use some advice.
Currently, I'm lifting 3-4x per week, running 3-4x per week and rock climbing 2-3x per week. I'm still very skinny at 165/6'1.5". I'm working on my push ups, sit ups and pull ups as well. I'm not at a 300 PT, but I can max the run easily and I'm getting close on sit ups and push ups. I'm on a "general" lifting plan, but with ample deadlifts and squats. I haven't started rucking yet since I've heard mixed information on if I should start early or hold off on it. I really would like to get to 185-190 lb by the time I get to selection (18x, yep lol).
Problem is I have basic/AIT, airborne and SOPC between then and now. A lot of these plans are for when you're in the military, but I'm wondering if I'll even have time to do my own workouts between shipping and selection. I know that I'm going to lose mass at basic unless I eat really, really fast.
Should I just stick to what I'm doing now, train for a couple trail races and just eat a lot? I only take whey protein right now. I'm guessing the best way for me to gain mass is just eat eat eat eat?
I appreciate any and all advice. I have a lot of time, I just want to use it well.
