"Resident BadAss"
It's been a good while since I have posted on this board. First off, hey to everyone and I hope you are all doing well! My life has changed a little bit, and for the better I can tell you that!
My wife and I are expecting a baby boy (our first), in May, and are totally excited about having a child! I have recently started professional modeling again (used to do it age 18-22) and have an agency in my home town, and an agency in Atlanta. I will mostly be doing commercial/print type modeling, with some runway thrown in the mix. I'm only 5'11" so there won't be as much runway for me, but definitely a lot of print/commercial.
So, the reason I'm back on the board, is because I need some advice. In the modeling industry, you have to fit into certain size clothing, and you have to be very lean. Being 5'11", I had to trim down significantly to be able to even do this again. I currently weigh 173-175, depending on the day, and my bodyfat is around 8%.
Since we are expecting a baby soon, I have been going to the gym in the mornings, because my afternoons are going to be spent with my wife and child. I work 5 days a week all day long, and there isn't any time for me to go besides the early morning. Now, I'm sure that there will be a few days that I will get to train in the afternoon, but lets face it, I'm going to have a new born baby in the house, and I'm going to want to spend as much time around him as possible, so for now, I'm focusing on mornings.
My goal is this: to be as lean and trim as possible, and maintain a decent amount of muscle along the way. I will be happy weighing 170 pounds. Not as happy as weighing 195 pounds like my pictures on the board, but hey, money talks right?
Note: I need to train a little, and do cardio a lot. How do I do this when I only have mornings to train??? I have been doing training, then cardio afterwards, and I know that is a NO NO.
I PM'ed Dirk, and told him my situation, but I wanted to get more opinions on here as well. I have been doing some thinking, and have created a diet that I think will go well with the goal I have in mind. I don't have to have big shoulders, or big arms anymore. It sucks yes, but it doesn't matter with modeling. My jacket size is 42R, neck is 15 3/4", waist is 32", ect. You get the picture....I'm a skinny ass again, but I have maintained my genetic look and figure, just at a smaller size. So, here is the diet I have proposed, and tell me what you think:
6am - train & cardio (i know, i know, its not good..but what can i do)
Meal 1 - 7:30am - PWO - 50g whey iso protein/75g dextrose
Meal 2 - 8:45am - 7 egg whites / 1 cup oatmeal
Meal 3 - 11:45am - 50g whey iso protein/2 tbsp flax oil
Meal 4 - 2:00pm - grilled chicken (50g), baked potato, 1c brocolli
Meal 5 - 5:00pm - 50g whey iso protein/2 tbsp flax oil
Meal 6 - 8:00pm - grilled tunasteak (50g), 1c brown rice, salad
10pm I'm in bed. (should i eat protein b4 bed still?)
Now, I have cut out the fruits, but the only ones I would think about eating would be half a banana in the morning before i go to the gym, because I would need to take it with my Thermorexin, and maybe a granny smith apple during the day sometime? If they are a bad idea, please advise.
I am supplementing the following:
Thermorexin 2x day
Levorex 2 a day/2x
Multivitamin
CLA
B-12 shots 2x week
Glutamine 10g day
Vit C 4000mg day
I am also drinking about 1 1/2 to 2 gallons of water a day, sometimes more.
I feel like I haven't been eating enough right now, because honestly, I was only eating around 4x per day. This is a diet I just looked around and put together from various opinions on the board. I need to get some pics on here.
My training is not really an issue (other than having to do cardio and training at the same time). I have that under control. I'm doing lighter weights with high reps, and it sucks, but its the only way to keep from getting big. This keeps me leaned out, but to where I don't put on that much muscle.
My main focus is getting my abs to show more. I mean, you can see them without flexing, but I'm looking to get them paper thin all the time. I know that seems crazy, but my metabolism is pretty good, and so are my genetics, so if my diet is right I think it will work out.
I need to here from you guys, since you are really the ones who helped me last year get to where I was. I know this is a totally different approach then you are used to, but this is totally different for me too. I would much rather be on some test & dbol right now, gaining, then doing this.
I appreciate all your help, and I look forward to your comments!
