Serious mass is in a big freak bag and like 1200 calories

 

While cardio is important, the fat is going to melt off your body if you lift heavy more, think about it, lean muscle burns fat, your heart is one of the smaller muscles in your body, hit it hard with weights 4-5 days a week, do cardio once a week, and of course change your diet, eat clean - high protein, good fats, low GOOD carbs, that fat will melt off your body.

 

i'm thinking it was serious mass if it was a green bag, know the price by chance?

 

Same. Lol

 

It's like 69.99 at vitamine shoppe I think.

 

Wut!

 

Just wanted to show the power of proper nutrition. Over the winter I started a classic muscle building diet. You know every three hours eating some eggs, bananas, chicken, tuna, brown rice. I must say it really worked wonders. I was around 180lbs last summer and now am at 190 but my body fat is much lower. I dont take any crazy supplements just your typical multi vitamin, amino complex, and protein powders. Just wanted to show my results for motivation if anyone wants to try a true bodybuilding diet. I couldn't be happier with my gains but all this food is hard on the wallet!

This is approximately eight months ago (Had a hurricane on LI and was worried the tacoma would get flooded, thats why its on blocks for any who are wondering )


And this is now, Just did back and biceps today

 

Would that protein hurt a lactose intolerant person's stomach?

I looked at the ingredients and it says it contains milk, but I'm not sure

 

Ryan: nice progress! Whats an average meal plan for you for a day? With grams of protein, calories etc...


TW: any apps that you guys use for progress or plans to help with your gains?

 

Thanks! okay here it is
Wake up - 1 scoop whey protein and banana
Aprox 1 hr later (0900) - 1 whole egg 4 egg whites 1/2 cup of oatmeal, multi vitamin, and 1/2 dose of amino acids (Both are Gaspari)
1200 - Chicken (8 oz or so) with 1/2 cup brown rice
1500 - Cento Tuna (the Italian one in the yellow can) with farro/quinoa and light feta cheese
1600- 1.5 scoop Evogen EVP
1630- I like to drink some aminos (Evogen Cell KEM) while i work out
1730- 1 scoop whey protein
1800- More Chicken and brown rice
2100- Greek yogurt and maybe a few egg whites
2400- Bed time! I take a blended protein before bed

I dont really know the hard numbers, I usually just kinda wing it but I know my protein intake is around 200 - 250 grams, and I would like to think my carbs are under 200 grams but I never counted them

And I never tried using any apps but I love the workouts on bodybuilding.com. I mentioned it awhile back but I love the powerbodybuilding program by Mike O'Hearn
Hope this helps you out!

 

a buddy of mine worksout hard, he is pretty big now. but he barely eats anything, i dont see how some of yall do it. i can eat stupid amounts of food, and since ive been tryin to keep carb intake low im always freakin starving lol

 

Why low carbs? I love carbs and take carbo-gain when I really try to bulk!

 

You gotta eat the carbs to get big, and to get a good pump in the gym. Ive been low carb for a while and always feel like crap

 

Crossfit again today...sore as shit.

Friday, for time: 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 of 225lb dead lift, 185lb bench and 145lb clean, rest day Saturday, lame academy workout Sunday.

Today, for time: 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 of chest to bar pull ups, 30in box jump, GHD sit ups. 11 minutes.

Anyone wishing to test their endurance may be interested in a Crossfit workout. You won't get big, but you'll be pushed to the limits of your physical capabilities.

**I am not pushing Crossfit as the end all be all of fitness, it only works for some people. **

 

Carbs are good for your body so long as it isn't in excess. I've never been able to eat a huge amount of food in one sitting I've always been the guy that has a box when leaving a restaurant but then I'm hungry 2 hours later. Right now my diet is lean meat like chicken breast, pork tenderloin, top round steak for my red meat fix. Sweet potato, oats, rice, or pasta for carbs. Carrots, broccoli, and other vegs for nutrients.

Personally I'd rather be strong than big.

 

thanks. It helps a lot.

How do the BCAAS help during workouts?

I'll check out jack ohearns routine. Thanks
