Hi everyone,
Firslty I would like to congratulate everyone on contributing to such a well rounded forum. I have been looking for a little while for something just like this place.
Ok here's my first post....
I have been training for 4 months so I am very new, I have already noticed several improvements in my shape. I train really hard with a friend who has good gym experience, and I am focusing on my diet - in my opinion quite well. Or at least I think I am!
However, I can't help feeling that my diet is still not what it should be. Here is a quick overview of what my activities are, and your guys feedback would be really appreciated.
I work 5 routines on each muscle group in 4 sets each / 8 reps per set at 80% of my maximum lift.
Monday - Chest / Arms
Tuesday - Back / Shoulders
Wednesday - Off
Thursday - Legs Day!
Friday - Arms
Saturday - Off
Sunday - Off
Now that's my schedule so heres a typical daily diet: -
0800 Orange % Banana
1000 x3 Boiled Egg Whites + Mixed Nuts & Dried Fruit (100g)
1200 x3 Boiled Egg Whites + Tin of Tuna
1400 Tin of Tuna + Kidney Beans
1600 Mixed Nuts & Dried Fruit
1800 1 Chicken Breast & Salad / Green Vegetables.
As you can see today is a rest day so I tend to stay low on carbs. On a training day I would have things like pasta and / or rice pudding instead of the mixed nuts, or I would just include them as well. The tuna is just what im having today, and is varied with chicken breasts or turkey steaks etc.
Ok, im currently 14 stone 12 or at least was last night after a session which is I believe 208lb's. I am six foot tall, and weighed approximately 14 stone 7 which was 203lb's when I first started. My weight is strange as although I have noticed gains and improvements in my shape since I started training, I also have excess fat which makes it difficult to use weight as a guide.
Now im not talking lots of fat, and most when they look at me don't believe I actually weigh what I do, until I hop on the scales. I've stopped using creatine as I didn't like the water retention, and the only supplements I am currently using is L-Glutamine.
My aims are to bulk up in size, but to try to reduce fat content around my waist area, so to this end I have started to include 3 x 100 twists in my arms mop up sessions on Friday.
Ok guys thats me, some guidance would be appreciated as all I get in my gym is "get yourself on the gear that will sort you out!" I always refuse as there are just too may gains to be had naturally, but when your not lining pockets, advice becomes a bit thin on the ground.
Peave out all, and many thanks...
