Honestly, it's just gold standard whey haha and I'm guessing from what I've read on here that you're gonna tell me to drink caesin lol, or eat a meal. I suppose I could do that, it's just a lot easier to drink a few scoops before bed ya know

then drink two scoops of casein

need help

hello 3j I heard your the man for helping people. My goal is too be 210 shredded but im only 190 at the moment and about 6 feet tall.. can you help me out if u can I would really appreciate it.
 
Hey 3J if u doin cardio OUTDOORS first thing in the morning on a flat surface,where u heart weight be at and at what intensity would be best.
 
hey 3J long time no talk last time we talked I was very overtrained and loosing strength i took a few days off and did mostly cardio for 45 minutes and a whole lot of ab work for a week and then designed a program after that for 1 day weight training one day cardio abs and weights were kept in the 15-8 range mostly 10s a big difference from the rest pause I was using before in my DC so it was a good change and finally feel like I can go back in solid. I am trying a new approach I will be training

Monday - Morning Chest *x 12 sets

Late Aft- Bis x 8 sets
30 minutes cardio

Tuesday - Morning 30 minutes cardio
forearms x8

Afternoon- triceps x8
traps x 4

Wednesday- Morning - Back x 12

Afternoon- 20minutes HITcardio
Abs Upperx4 lowerx4 sidex4 SS

Thursday- Morning- shoulderx12

Afternoon- Bis x8
trapsx4

Friday- Morning 45 minutes cardio

Afternoon- Legs x10

Sat- Morning- Triceps x8
forearmsx4

Afternoon-20minHIT cardio

Sunday Rest

Maybe I am going to see how this goes I will adjust were i need to just for a short maybe 3 week period or see how I feel for the first week its little gym time 1.5 hrs just
split into two 45 min sessions with no more then 12 sets of any weights done during one period giving me good growth rate im thinking because my muscle will have alot of time to recouop and feed compared to my usual training sessions of 1.5 hrs in one session


My food intake is rather high

Breakfast is something like

2 small flat bread tortilla breads 34grs carbs 220 cals
steak lean 430 cals

pre workout
2 scoops protein 8 carbs 48 pro 3 fat 260
3 tbls peanut butter 9carbs 12 pro 24 fat 300
1 cup 1percent yog plain 16carbs 8pro 3fat 120 cals

post workout shake

1tbls almond oil 140cal
176gr 1 1/2 cup cottage cheese 1percent 160cal


total 3800 cal 152 carbs to maintain weight I think that is just ridiculous on my last program which i only weight trained 2 out of 5 days and did cardio for a total of 165 minutes in 5 days routine which was 5 days on 1 day off 55/15/30 pro/carb/fat

My tdee is 1698.35 x 1.55 = 2632 I have even lost a bit of muscle since i had last talked to you


I have a ability to put foods together and am looking for more advice on a set of macros that would be good for my new workout scedule I.e for example
something like so i want to be consuming maybe 2700 cals and have less carbs something like 50 10 40 or 45 15 40 i dont know

What do you think about that Diet I am Open to suggestions and tried it today and feel satisfied and very strong in the gym actually stronger then I usually do. The problem with my last diet I was told was that I was not allowing my body to obsorb the food and the high amounts of proteins where just being passed in bowel movements. I was afraid of eating less calories but I feel really good. My goal is to get to 6% body fat im at 10% right now and I dont want to loose any weight just maintain and get stronger and loose fat is that caloric intake okay and I am concerned about my last meal is it okay if im still hungry or what should the still hungry meal be

read and do everything the first post of this thread asks
 
Hey 3J if u doin cardio OUTDOORS first thing in the morning on a flat surface,where u heart weight be at and at what intensity would be best.

u would do whatever intensity that brings ur hr to 130bpm and keeps it there.. play around with diff things and figure it out.. on a flat surface for a fat guy a light jog will take him way over that.. for a fit guy it might not even get him there

its good.. i would take up your carbs to 150 and drop your fat by 20g but that's about it.. also the meal replacement crap is a no no.. and try to keep your shakes to pwo
 
Hi 3J My name is David and I'm hailing from Arizona....Back at age 19 I was somewhere around 200 lbs. 5'8'' and 33% body fat. I succeeded in dropping down to 10% at 150 lbs.
Although I know I should be putting on muscle soon, I did bounce back a little and before a clean bulk I would like to trim down (and maybe make some small muscle gains in the process.)

My current stats are:

22 years old
167 lbs.
5'8''
18%
BMR is 1820.41
TDEE is 2503 I put lightly active as I have been doing a 4 day BB split for the past month (not long at all I know).

My long term goal is to build muscle whilst keeping my BF% relatively low (8-10%) but for now I am appealing to your obvious expertise in dropping a bunch of fat pounds whilst maybe building some muscle since I'm a noob to real hard training.

I do not currently do cardio; but I can definitely manage it as I used to run 4-5 miles in 30 minutes at the peak of my weight loss.

I currently work my job on 3rd shift, so my timing is going to be very awkward and some of my meals are poor due to limited access to food.

As far as my diet I eat 5x daily 3 hours apart

Waking up:

1 cup oats
1 can of tuna
3 oz. carrots

Workout 1 hour after meal

PWO-Protein shake w/ 12-16oz. 1% Milk

Second Meal:

Peanut Butter and Honey Sandwich
Protein Shake

Third Meal:

Protein Bar
Yogurt

Fourth Meal:

Beef Jerky
Easy Mac
Banana

Fifth Meal:

3 Eggs (uncooked or hard boiled)
Protein Shake

I know this is absolutely terrible but you requested brutal honesty and that's what it is, lol. I'm willing to adopt whatever regimen/food style I can to make this happen as soon as possible, but I am also patient as I have seen how long true, healthy progress is. Thanks in advance for any help you provide!
 
follow a 35/45/20 diet (roughly)
at 3500 calories you're macros should look like:

300g protien
400g carbs
77g fats


if ur on this diet and u notice that your still gaining too much weight.. u can do two things

1. lower ur calories through ur carbs 300 calories a week untill u ONLY gain 1-1.5lbs a week

2. drop your carbs and up your fats.. i would do this first..

for every 2 grams of carbs u drop add a gram of fat.. that'll rougly equal out..

so i would rather have it look like this

300g protein
300g carbs
122g fats

experiment with it.. it seems u dont exactly know what u need to do to bulk yet.. these are just starting points..

revamp your diet to meet one of the said criteria above and ill critique it again.. also look at my sample bulking diet on page one for inspiration and reference.. its good stuff

Hey 3J, You helped me out a few weeks ago and I`ve worked out my diet accordingly. I find it difficult to keep my carbs low w/out sacrificing calories so at the end of the day I find myself lagging behind in calories so I try to make up for it then. I have been dead on with my fats though. Here is a sample of what I have been doing.

Well If you want to do diet then you must be make diet chart and also you must be eat only diet food like fruits, vegetables and also you can take food in which protein and vitamins but do not eat oil foods.
 
What?

Well If you want to do diet then you must be make diet chart and also you must be eat only diet food like fruits, vegetables and also you can take food in which protein and vitamins but do not eat oil foods.

Yeah, this is a bulking diet.
3J helped me out a little and I am just following up with some recommendations from him. The oil is for healthy fats which you need in your diet.
 
Hey bud.. you forgot me.. lemme know when you got some free time.. thanks bro!


SORRY I HAD TO EDIT YOUR POST.. I COULDN'T FIND YOUR ORIGINAL.. IF YOUR LOOKING TO ADD LEAN MASS U NEED TO EAT PAST YOUR TDEE.. SO I WOULD SAY 3200 CALORIES AND U'LL BE GOOD. U'LL PUT ON A LITTLE BITTA FAT.. BUT IT'LL BE MINIMAL AND EASILY TAKEN OFF WITH A GOOD CUTTING PHASE AFTER YOUR BULK..

3200 CALORIES
300G PROTIEN
300G CARBS
88G FATS

U CAN ALSO LOWER UR CARBS AND RAISE YOUR FATS.. FOR EVERY 2G OF CARBS THAT YOU LOWER UP YOUR FATS BY 1G.. THAT SHOULD ROUGHLY WORK OUT

Hey 3J
Im coming to the end of my bulk and would like to lose this extra bit of fat. Gained 18 or so lbs and look 100% better in the mirror. My body fat is roughly at 19.9% now and im weighing about 198. A lil help on constructing a cutting diet would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks dude.
