Hi there,
First, thank you for all your posts you've been very helpful to everyone and we all appreciate it. I'm 23, 184 lbs., about 10% body fat, been working out for about 4 years now. I followd your formula for BMR and got what my intake should be. I also have a diet set up with 8 meals a day. I just need help with a workout program. recently I stopeed growing. I feel like i'm getting more cut. so I need a workout program to build lean muscle and grow more. I'm also trying to burn some fat off my stomach and get my abs showing. my weakest muscles are my biceps and back. I was wondering if you have a good weekly (4-5 days a week) workout program I can use to gain more mass and also GET MY BICEPS AND BACK BIGGER. It's been frustrating because the rest of my body is pretty big. Please let me know if you can help with a good program with good bicep and back growth exercises. very much appreciated.

Alex

So... I did a lot of reading and this is what I came up with for a potential meal plan. Some of this has been copied from others' plans. Please let me know if this is ideal for my goals. Thanks, again!


Meal 1
1/2 cup of dry oats mixed with water
1/2 cup of egg beaters

Meal 2
1/2 meal replacement packet mixed with water or

a protein powder (with around 20 grams of protein) mixed with 20 grams of carbs from cream of rice, grits, or oatmeal.


Meal 3
1/2 cup of brown rice, or 1 cup of oatmeal
2 cups of green beans, broccoli or another veggie
6 ounces of chicken or turkey

Meal 4
Same as Meal 2

Meal 5
1/2 cup of brown rice, or medium sized baked potato, or 1 cup of oatmeal
2 cups of green beans, broccoli or another veggie
6 ounces of chicken, or turkey

Meal 6
Same as Meal 2
 
add 700 calories.. that's the first thing i would say.. make your 12pm a full meal..


also.. spell out your workout routine for me bro.. on both times..

usually when people stall the way you are its because they're not eating enough.. its strange i know but your body goes into starvation mode

I drank an Isopure Shake at 12pm with the almonds, and I ate an extra can of Tuna in the afternoon for the rest of last week and yesterday. I gained another pound, but the plus is that I added weight to all of my lifts. I did 5 reps with last weeks 3RM on flat bench.

In the past, I have never been able to lose weight while eating carbs. Looking back at my logs it seems that every time that I drop weight I go through a series of diets that don't work, and I end up on -75 carbs a day and the weight falls off. Any idea why?

hey 3j
thanks for the reply 1302,im loosing the shakes and replacing them with chicken breasts,i cant seem to stomach the cottage cheese tried before but didnt work so went for low fat cheese instead.
the reason i didnt add a lot of carbs is i thought as im trying to loose weight i didnt need to put so many into the diet, would it work putting wholemeal pasta with the tuna instead of pitta bread, brown rice and chicken for meals in the day time?
does the training routine seem ok?ive had to swap the running for cycling as ive had severe shin splints and had to stop!
thanks again 3j

doesn't look too bad at all...

lets figure out your bf... send that pic
 
Thanks for your reply 3J,

Exactly, i'm focussing on my back like 2x upper back with another minor muscle (bi's) and 1x like shoulders with my lowerback... i've got some nice results, next thing : legs and shoulders :)!

Actually, yes it's written on my oatmeal package it does have protein in it, eventhough it's not written i guess they wrote it for the milk?

What kind of carbs, as in what would you add?

Haha what do you mean, how 1,5cup of plain brown rice taste? haha.

Thanks,

David

Bf dunno yet
Not sure what PWO whey is but I drink a lot of 100 % whey and optimal nutrition whey I add water ice half frozen banana & a couple strawberries
I am thinking about adding fiber pills to my diet let me know what u think
I have been going to the gym for a few years now and am stuck at my current weight. I start lifting weights 2 months ago. I lift 5 x a week. I also run 3 miles 5 x a week and another mile on the treadmill. I do not eat any candy and drink only diet soda. I think one of my problems is i don't get enough sleep. I go to sleep @ 2 am wake up at 830 and don't really eat anything until 10 am drink tea with splenda and usually only eat some kind of nuts cashews/almonds or one those of those Atkins bars. i usually eat a soup for lunch but since switched to salads or whey powder. then ill eat something @ 3pm same thing at 10 am usually. Go to gym at 5 get home and usually ether eat whey powder or ham, cheese or roast beef. Once a week ill order out for Chinese and try to stay low carb and only order wings, egg foo young with no sauce, boneless spear ribs. I eat more at night then in the morning and don't drink enough water but try. I also just started to take T3. So hopefully that will help. I am trying to loose 25-30 pounds and tone up at same time.
