Eddie Hall might not be a household name, but take my word — the man knows a thing or two about maximizing his gains.
Back in 2015, the British Strongman set the world record for deadlift — *cough* *cough* twice — and he recently detailed his recommended diet for packing on the muscle on Facebook.
Spoiler alert: if you aren’t taking in 9,000 calories a day, then you’re just cheating yourself.
First thing in the morning you need to kick start your appetite and get a dose of protein, so 2 scoops Dynamo gainer with full fat milk.
900cals
Then a cup of green tea with a tea spoon of coconut oil.
100calsFor breakfast a high dose of carbs so 100g dry oats with milk and jam, 1 banana, 250ml Greek yoghurt, and a 700ml protein shake DynaPro lean.
1000/1500calsMid morning I like to have something mid card, mid protein heavy so 2 pieces of toast with peanut butter on.
