I thought it'd be better to ask a tennis forum, rather than a bodybuilder forum, as they are mostly populated by people who lift as a hobby, or for competitions. Tennis players, on average, seems to be not as big as these guys
I have no problem with eating 500 calories over maintenance to gain muscle, or hitting the gym three times a week, but I really don't think I'd be able to (or want to) do some of the eating regiments that these types are on. I'll make a shake, but I don't think I could stand lean chicken, fish, and eggs every day. Can anyone give me some info on how flexible a diet can be (ie, can I splurge sometimes, make spaghetti, etc etc), or some ideas to mix it up?
Also, I'm not looking to make gigantic gains, as already mentioned. I'm pretty shrimpy (I've lost 70 lbs in the last three years, a lot of it from my shoulders, chest, and arms), but I think with a good workout method, and a good diet, I could get to a decent amount of muscle. So after that point, what do I do? Do I eat my maintenance amount of calories a day, and still do my workout, but without changing the weights much?
Thanks for the help in advance
Also, be free to point me in the direction of other sources if you think it'd be helpful.
