170KG Bench would be lovely, but that's a long way off.

I moved house, changed job and my life completely really. It's taken me a very long time to get back to it, but I'm feeling good now. Building a gym at my own place and cracking into it hard and heavy. I've added some unwanted fat aswell but tbh, that's staying until the April/May Cut.

That explains it ;) I'd love a well kitted home gym, might get round to it myself one day.

I'm finding dieting very tough as i love eating! it takes a hell of a lot of discipline and patience. The results i'm seeing are very encouraging though, well worth the hardship :)
 
I'm dreading going on a cut.

I've been more hungry than ever since starting HST and I don't know how i'm going to control my appetite (probably lots of fats).

no no foody foody mouthy wouthy naughty naughty!

Seriously though, i do feel sorry for fat people at last! If i struggle getting shot of body fat then it must be hell for someone with no drive or dedication.

Not that i condone being wobbly and smelling like onions though
 
I had to chuckle at that! :D

I'm good though - I will cut down on naughty foods and quantities, and lower my carb intake dramatically. The problem is it knackers you out for a the first few weeks - well it does me. You soon get used to it though. However, it IS hard work but does required dedication and a good healthy metabolism and diet.

Im certainly enjoying the pre brekkie fasted, coffee fuelled cardio. 40-60 mins brisk uphill on the treadmill, gets a nice sweat going without leaving you panting, perfect fat burner. Also it leaves me with an all day appetite which i never normally have. Increases the suffering but faster metabolism = smaller belly :D
 
I've been out of my office all morning doing work about the site (it's a big place) and didn't get to eat for 4:30 hours!

My stomach felt like it was melting. Jesus.

I'll be doing the same again this afternoon so even if I had to resort to some kind of sugary mars bar it will be done.
 
Nothing wrong with going 4.5 hours with nothing to eat, our bodies will cope. They weren't designed for the 'tupperware' diet of getting fed every 2 hours with loads of fasting digesting proteins like whey.

Since going back to eating much less often I feel healthier. Eat more fat and slower digesting proteins, I never have more than 25g whey in one go now and I have a lot more casein than whey. Using egg and casein along with fats there's absolutely no problem going that length of time... infact I think it's healthier ;)

Don't turn to sugary crap mate, just plan things a little better and get over the phobia of going more than 2 hours without eating :)

After my first attempt at HST i'm going to cut at least 2 meals from my diet. I know how much healthier it is to eat a smaller number of meals and that's my justification for doing it.

I'll probably start my doing it on non-training days. Just means they will have to be larger meals I guess. Not sure what i'll have for breakfast because oats & whey first thing are just so easy.

I've got one of Arnies books and the diets he recommends are 3 meals a day! For advanced bodybuilding it's the same but simply bigger meals. I do wonder if we really need to eat how people believe you have to when training, people of yester year ate so less frequently and got the same sort of results.
 
Exactly mate. I've found myself doing things and just stopped and thought 'this is ridiculous' I don't care what anyone says, it's not practical and it's certainly not fun... if anything was going to make me give up bodybuilding it was the constant messing about and eating. Bored me to tears to be honest.

Been eating 'normally' now ever since I first discovered the joys of a lower (not too low) carb and higher fat diet. Gave me a new lease of life and renewed enthusiasm in my training :cool:
 
I think because i've been eating so frequently (7 meals on workout days) for some time, when I don't eat for a while like today I feel like i'm starving.

Fair enough I do only have small meals but still... The good thing about more meals is it allows you to avoid having fats and carbs together (which i'll struggle with when I try to lower my number of meals).
 
Don't fret too much about such things. Just avoid sugary, empty carbs and trans fats. Also be smart about oxidizing fats, so don't go cooking with olive oil at high heat, don't over cook your eggs or your meat, etc.
 
Interesting info there CW :) I tend to have 4 meals a day, but that's because I have long days, but I don't tend to eat crisps or chocolate bars and I never drink fizzy drinks (I just don't enjoy them), I'm not a beer fiend either which helps. I easily eat my 5-a day if not more. However I believe that if you do want to bulk you do need the proteins along with a good steady healthy and diverse diets, with oily fishes, fats and some carbs too.
 
It's entirely down to the person and body type. I get away with all kinds of crap like missing meals and lacking carbs, but i dont get away with even the tiniest excess of something, one chocolate bar ads an inch to my waist, halves my bench press and shrinks my man bits.

Others can eat whatever and gain like mad, even staying cut. You gotta learn what works for you

Genetics are dealt so unfairly...

tbh i like my genetics, with a moderate diet and training i look really big (clothed) and get much commentage from other less commited bodybuilding comrades. I also manage good lifts and powerful form. Its just the whole beach-quality body that eludes me. On the whole id rather have what ive got than be one of those guys that loses inches of muscle just cos they skipped lunch or something.
 
Oh I think I'm on your wavelength when it comes to that thing, I agree with you. I'd rather be of fuller shape that be excessively wirey and lose weight too quickly/easily.
 
jesus did i just read someone on here did 140k bench and weight only 11.5 stone
is that for real :eek:
with no drugs involved :D
man i thought i was doing well
think ill give up now
