supermeatheads

[mrchariybrown]

yes, because it's hard to tell from the mirrior day to day.

[aleopold]

aleopold - let me know what exercises you need elaboration on. with the exception of glute/ham raises, pullthroughs, and box squats, they all seem to be pretty straightforward exercises.

all off them can be done without a machine except the chest-supported rows which you can just just do bentover bb rows instead.

pullthroughs, pulldowns, and tricep pushdowns can't be done if you count a pulley as a machine too. the pullthroughs and pulldowns have substitutes next to them. and for pushdowns, you can just replace them with skullcrushers again or any kind of overhead tricep extension.

yeah, i don't know what pullthroughs are, skull crushers, and i don't know how to deadlifts

is this a good fat trimming workout? i am looking to lose my gut, and turn my boobies into pecks. hahahaha.

Fat trimming is diet dependent, eat healthy and youll lose the weight.

Edit : Healthy + caloric deficit.

^ wish i wasn't such a damn picky eater

i've never really had a full on diet change, and wouldn't really know where to start. i feel like such a needy bitch, hahaha.

[FADEtoDARKNESS]

I'm in the same boat as you man. I use the excuse that I'm an ecto so I can eat whatever I want whenever I want because I'm dirty bulking.

But fuck my gut is huge right now and I'd love to get rid of it!

[aleopold]

^ gut fadez contest? hahahahaha

what's an ecto (sorry i'm lame and uneducated... ha)

I'm a skinny fat ectomorph, chairy is a ecto/meso.

GUT FADE CONTEST

I actually wrote out an entire diet plan but fuck...I can't follow it for the life of me. But fuck it, I'm gonna try my hardest to stick with it now.

[aleopold]

so, it has to do with body shape more than size?

you got me motivated too, i'm gonna have one more scrumptious fast food meal tonight, and then i'm done. gotta stop being so lazy and take care of all my shit (school, gym, all around physical and mental health).

Lets motivate one another continuously man. I wish I had a workout buddy IRL or someone to compete with.

I'm counting last night as my last night of scrumptious fast food Today is my pseudo fast day, and tomorrow I'll try to eat 100% clean

LETS DO IT BOY. You got a diet plan ready?

And it has to do with body shape and your muscle fiber build up. Genetics would be a broad term to define it, but yeah. I'm fucking tiny as shit, and honestly it makes me kind of depressed haha.

[aleopold]

i am down. where to cop diet plan for picky eater?

shoot me a pm fade.

Aleopoid Sensible Fade

The new BB trifecta.

[aleopold]

do we get our own threak?

[sensible shoes]

yo anyone use a stationary bike for hiit? i need to find a solid routine

[sensible shoes]

yo anyone use a stationary bike for hiit? i need to find a solid routine

actually. i've got both a stationary bike and rowing machine and the tabata routine seems pretty good

[Leeacto]

do you count cals or distance for tabata row?

a favorite workout is doing tabata for pullups, pushups, situps, squats

8 rds of each exercise, move seamlessly from one to the next. a killer

[FADEtoDARKNESS]

Lets make a good food list.

Just had some kashi go lean this morning because I was too lazy to eat oats.

[DoitsuJin]

not sure if this is relevant here, won't do it in the future if it isn't but...

my diet today:

-2 wheat slices x PB (sandwich)

-cereal

-8oz chicken, assortment of veggies

-2 wheat slices x PB (sandwich)

-protein shake

-8oz chicken, assortment of veggies

-protein shake later

i know, may sound boring... but it works for me

[FADEtoDARKNESS]

That's alot like my diet. and of course it's relevant. I eat a bunch more carbs than you though.

[sensible shoes]

too many foods bruz

i havent been stella in my diet but I've managed to keep up the WD one-meal-a-day tip for a month now. I don't even think about breakfast when I wake up now and my energy is on par with my energy levels before the diet.

I've asked this question before, but does anyone eat organic produce? I work in a produce store that stocks it and the prices are crazy. $10 for a punnet of strawberries $10 a kg for brocolli, and usually the stuff isnt as fresh-looking as the mainstream lines. i think if you were going full organic you could easilly spend 80+ a week on fruit and veg...

just bought myself a bent bar! going to get into those skull-crushers today

[DoitsuJin]

I have a friend who is really into the organic food scene. I would give it a try, but given my rent and my income I kinda shudder at the thought of blowing up my budget. (my friend works 30 hour weeks and makes 6 figs so expenses for organics are no biggie for him) I would be more inclined to do research on it if it were something I could actually pursue, but perhaps I'll look into it in 2-3 years.

sensible, was that directed towards me? i thought it was so little, the food total doesn't add up to even 2000 calories, sadly. (i only use PAM and pepper on my chicken so it's about 125 cals per 4oz) i'm ready to increase my food input but i have no idea what to add to it... breaking down my diet, it goes like

pb wich: 270 (x2) 4 slices of bread of 90 cal each plus 90 cals of pb per

shake: 4oz skim (45) + scoop (125) + half scoop (45)

shake: 125

chicken + veggies: 350 (x2)

cereal: 220

which turns out to be 540+215+125+700+220=1800

[mrchariybrown]

that's not boring really.. you want to see boring, you should look at my diet.

anyways, none of that information is relevant without your height, weight, and goals.

[DoitsuJin]

charly, please share. :-) (if you don't mind, that is.) I'd like to see your caloric breakdown...

As to my measurables: doh on my part, sorry I didn't include those.

I'm 5'7", 140~142 lbs.

My initial goal in weight training / nutrition was to drop a lot of weight. After starting work full time I became lazy and felt I had no time - became a fat 160lbs instead of a fat and strong 155lbs. i was getting fatigued easily, and being fat affected my confidence so i pushed hard to shed weight.

one year later i'm down to those measurables. my goal at the moment is strength (225lbs benchpress is my benchmark, literally a supermeathead goal) but since i'm also your typical denim nut i'm trying to get stronger without expanding my waist size much.

[daphneYOUfindME]

get that deadlift and squat up too. benchpress only is a superbro goal, imo.

[DoitsuJin]

thanks man!, i've been working on it. i'm certainly concerned about getting my form right but i gotta admit my deadlifts are embarassingly awful.

and i readily admit the bench press thing is a very bro/meathead thing...

[daphneYOUfindME]

do you pull conventional? i switched to sumo stance awhile ago and i find it more comfortable. it helps to stretch your hips before pulling, as well. i do this by holding a wide squat stance for a minute before warming up. focus on keeping your chest and shoulders up and that lower back arched at all times.

[sensible shoes]

i know i keep asking very-easy-to-find-out-yourself questions. But I'm going to start cycling between on/off days of carbs because I eat way too much rice.

how do most people get carbs into their diets? particularly dinner?

[DoitsuJin]

I get most of my carbs in during breakfast. why are you thinking of just going without on certain days? have you thought about reducing the intake?

you must eat a LOT of rice!! i thought a cup of cooked rice was around 250 calories?

[mrchariybrown]

charly, please share. :-) (if you don't mind, that is.) I'd like to see your caloric breakdown...

I'm not going to list my whole diet down, but I'll let you know my CURRENT caloric intake and macro breakdown. note, that the following is my 7-day average. day-to-day calories and macro breakdown vary depending on training and rest days.

2400 calories. 45/20/35 P/C/F%.

currently, 188. goal, leaner 178-181 without losing any lean mass.

[mrchariybrown]

also note that calories and macros may change a lot over the weeks because those are just rough estimate numbers I've used as I only started cutting weight 4 days ago.

I already see that I have to add more calories in because I've dropped about 2-3 pounds in the past 4 days.
