*** The 2013 Gym Rats Thread ***

Diet from memory previous was roughly as follows, various meals were steak/chicken/tuna with brown rice/ wholemeal pasta/ sweetpotatoes + veg -

7:30 - 1 scoop whey water

8:15 - 1 whole egg, 3 egg whites, oates, milk

10:30 - chicken breast, 2 pieces wholemeal bread, nuts, yogourt.

13:00 - various meal

15:45 - tuna, pasta, sweetcorn, yogourt, nuts.

16:45 - protein/carb shake + banane

17:00 - 18:00 - TRAIN

18:00 2 scoops whey water

19:00 various meal

22:00 cottage cheese 2 scoops whey milk



Been out of the game a while, shall I follow the same diet and see how it goes for 2-3 months?
 
Vtr there is nothing wrong with that diet plan

I won't preach about CBL just yet as I am still in the prep phase, but from all the reading I have done, and the prep week I am on it is totally fine for morning training. You just back load the night before training as apposed to post training, then you have a post workout shake after your am training day, then it's ultra low carbs for the restof the day. If your train g the following night you tend to backload after 4-5 pm again. If not its a carb lite dinner.

Check my log of my planned diet, I will keep it updated with progress as I go. First backload is due Sunday.

Yeah that plan was a lean bulk though 7 years ago when my bodyfat was pretty low. Not sure whether to stick to similar and see how it goes or change completely to a cutting diet and see where I'm at once the fat has been dropped?
 
Just a heads up, asda are selling 350g bags of frozen hot and spicy chicken breast pieces for £2. All you do is bung them in the microwave for 8 mins and they taste delicious. 80g of good, tasty protein and great for some quick post gym protein.
 
Well it is an option to look in to CBL go to dangerouslyhardcore . Com for info.

Haha LiE I actually do that amount quite often! It's easy. My first backload is a planned
16:30 Dextrose in shake 50g
18:00 150g white rice (Pre cooked) loads of sweet and sour chicken (total about 100g carbs)
19:00 50g Ready break + 25g dextrose (another 50g)
20:00 Croissant, banana (another 50g)
Then I have an optional pb and chic spread sandwich on white bread for and extra 35g ish :)

I really can't wait :)

2 pics from today.

Decided to cut down now to 8-10% then do a bulk, anyone good with dieting that can help? 26yr old. 5ft10, 13st10, weights 4x week, no cardio at the moment, want to lose this excess bf before bulking again.
 
Been doing a little reading on CBL and it looks quite good and may work for me as I don't get the chance to get a proper meal in till after training ( 7:30ish ) on college days. IF worked pretty well for me because when I start eating I can't usually stop :D So no brekkie when I get up at 6:30 and I will be fine until 1:00-2:00 when I took a scoop of whey, MP cookie and a cup of tea. Tried taking chicken but no space in my bag and cold chicken smells rank! A no no when you go to an art college full of fine young ladies :D Next thing would be a scoop of whey, creatine and sometimes some oats before training.


Only downside is the 10 days prep. No way on this earth I can survive with only 30g of carbs a day! :(

No other pics atm, legs are in proportion was deadlifting/squatting 160 and benching 115

Thinking of this for a cutting diet -

7:30 - 1 scoop whey water

8:15 - 1 whole egg, 3 egg whites, oates

10:30 - chicken breast, 1 pieces wholemeal bread, nuts, yogourt.

11:30- 12:30 - TRAIN

12:30 2 scoops whey water

13:00 - fish/steak/chicken/tuna with brown rice/ wholemeal pasta/ sweetpotatoes + veg

15:45 - tuna, pasta, sweetcorn, yogourt, nuts.

18:00 - 1 scoop whey + banana

20:30 steak/chicken/tuna with brown rice/ wholemeal pasta/ sweetpotatoes + veg

22:30 2 scoops whey with milk


Any good? Never cut before.
 
Impossible to tell without knowing quantities. The basic format seems fine, but not what I'd do (I can't be arsed eating that many meals). Try it and find out. Or you could ask Steedie nicely to help you out, he's made similar cutting diets for people.

No offence, but gym weights on the internet don't really mean anything to me ;) The fact remains that you'll only be doing yourself a disservice by not smashing your legs with squats with a proper ROM.
