Yep, switching to crossfit, later guys!

 

Go down for 3, up for 1, rest 1? Im assuming?

 

Exactly what Ruben said. I'll usually do it after a full bench workout then burn out with a lightish weight. Have a spotter to lift the bar back up and then you control it as it goes down for about 5 seconds. Go until it burns and then do some more. Mix it up is the biggest part though.

 

Forced negatives will get you over any plateau

 

Then throw a couple massive scoops of cottage cheese on and some chilli sauce and you are good to go!

And if you're going that far throw on a tin of tuna =)

 

Yes. Everything but the flex for one part.

Thanks! What weight should I be doing on negatives though?

 

Okay this insomnia shit is getting crazy, went to the gym at 3-5pm got home, weirdly didnt feel like eating at all, so i didn't. so far it has been 36 hours since last i ate food, but last night i just couldnt sleep, its like i was on crack lol my body and mind just wanna GO GO GO! so i decide to go for a run at 3, i fucking ran till i can't run anymore came back shower and went to sleep at 5. had the craziest fucking dream ever!

 

On that note....

Does anyone else find themselves without an appetite after going to the gym?

Almost every time I come back home and I'm hungry.... but I don't have an appetite. I'm not sure how else to explain it.

I'll make my food and forcefully eat it, even though I can feel that I am very hungry.

 

Yeah that happens to me all the time, I don't know the scientific reason but I just start snacking on something with carbs, like some chips, then 20 mins later my stomach is screaming for food. But you don't have to eat right away after gym the whole concept that your body needs food right away after a workout is bogus.

 

It's usually 45-60 minutes after I workout that I start making food. I'm definitely hungry, but I just don't want to eat. Usually lasts a couple hours for me.

 

What's your eating schedule like? because i usually fast for about 20+ hours a day and its hard for to eat right away without warming up my stomach and GI tract with some carbs and sugar

 

I'm finally in this thread! I started working out regularly for the past 2 weeks. I've seen results and with a nice diet. Its working out well.

I'm lucky to have the muscle memory effect as in this short 2 weeks, I feel great.

I hope to be in shape soon and take advantage of this tread. I wanna be buff as shit again. LOL ​

Till then, I live off of my old ass pictures. . .

 

lol nice brah, at least your can mir your old pics, old pics of mine looks like jaba the hut​

 

I just made protein mousse....ON Pro Complex, lactose free milk and heavy cream...whipped that shit till it was thick. Oh its good.

 

8am breakfast
11am snack
1-2 pm lunch
3-4 pm snack
530 gym
7-8 dinner
9 sometimes another snack

Breakfast is eggs and oatmeal. Lunch is usually some form of takeout, lots of meat lots of brown rice. Dinner is meat and veggies. Snacks are usually nuts/greek yogurt/fruit.

My lunches kill me. I haven't gotten around to prepping meals for work, so I usually end up going to a local hole in the wall restaurant and getting meat and rice type meals. I end up eating 1000+ calories during this meal.

 

that looks like a pretty good schedule and diet to me.

 

I don't know how some of you guys do it, but I find it very difficult to consume 168 g of protein through out the day (I weigh 168 lbs at the moment), let alone more than that to steadily gain more weight.

 

You need more than just protein to gain muscle mass is what I'm assuming you're meaning. Protein shakes makes it super easy to take enough protein throughout the day. But they aren't as good as actual food.
