If i wake up late some days I'll skip my morning snack and just have the yogurt for my bedtime snack. I was also thinking of replacing my bedtime snack with a protein shake or something like that.
Also on Sundays i'm gonna try and have a day where I eat anything i want, and if i gain weight then I'll stop. I also drink 2L of water, I'm not sure if i should increase that or not.

Exercise: Cardio
Every day in the morning - I'm gonna start doing HIIT for my cardio instead of just jogging, I'm gonna go at 6mph for 30 sec then 8 mph for the other 30 sec (unless someone tells me otherwise) for about 20 minutes, then i'll cool down by going at 5mph for 2 minutes, then 4 mph for 2 minutes, then 3.5mph for 1 minutes.
I also walk for 10 minutes every hour or 2, and if i'm sitting down then i'll tap my fingers or swing my leg.

Weight training (at night)- I use the total gym, lifting about 18lbs (it uses your own bodyweight) for every exercise I do 2 sets of 15 reps. In total every workout last about an hour.

Tuesday and Thursday - 3 chest exercises
- 3 shoulder exercises
- 2 bicep exercise
- 320 situps, using the Ab King (4 different types at 80 reps each)

Wendsday and Friday -4 back exercises
- 7 leg exercises (thighs calves ankles etc.
- 3 triceps exercises
- Abs are same as on tuesday and thursday

Saturday, Sunday and Monday - 480 situps on Ab King (6 different kinds at 80 reps each)
- 20 minutes of Winsor Pilates.

Pills
Multivitamins - 2 megaman pills before breakfast
Fat burner - 3 Xenedrine pills before breakfast (might stop taking them cause i feel like there not doing anything, I want a thermogenic pill but my stupid small hick town's GNC dosen't have any)

Whew that was long, can anybody help me change stuff or anything, if you had the patience to read all of that?

Are you bulking? I thought you were cutting?

You should start by reading the stickies at the top of the forum. Your entire diet is in need of a change.

**Lewie** · 07-12-2004, 10:11 AM

Well i'm 120lbs, and i'm just trying to mantain my weight, and define my lower abs and thighs a little, so should i be trying to bulk?

**Jodi** · 07-12-2004, 10:50 AM

What are your stats?

**Lewie** · 07-12-2004, 11:05 AM

Stats? do you mean age, gender, height and weight? 15, Male, 5'8, 120lbs

**Premo55** · 07-12-2004, 12:40 PM

Yes, I can suggest a tweak.
At 5'8" 120 you should be eating absolutely everything in sight.
I really don't mean to offend you, dude, but I know kindergarten kids that weigh more than that. Considering you're not even at the level of definition that you want means that you're not carrying a whole lot of muscle on you right now, either.
2 ounces of chicken breast?
1/2 a cun of tuna?
COME ON MAN.....EAT SOME FOOD

Also stop training like an aerobics instructor...2 sets of 15 reps really isn't going to do you much good. Do you not do squats?

I guess it's a good thing that you're 15, you have plenty of time to eat and train properly, you just need to readjust your mindset IMHO.

And this: "I also walk for 10 minutes every hour or 2, and if i'm sitting down then i'll tap my fingers or swing my leg."

Sorry, I just found this really funny. Maybe if you cut out nonsense like cinnamon rolls, cornflakes and cornflake bars you wouldn't have to look like you're having seizures all the time to try and get rid of the calories

Peace.

**P-funk** · 07-12-2004, 01:08 PM

NO NO NO!!!!

Read his other thread! he is coming back from being hospitalized with an eating disorder. That is why he is 120lbs!! You need to add cals in slowly...see my reply in your other thread. if you start eating like a maniac right now bad things will happen.

**LAM** · 07-12-2004, 01:11 PM

I would replace the cornflakes with whole oats

**Premo55** · 07-12-2004, 01:25 PM

Oh.
Sorry Funkster, I had no idea.

Peace.

**NEW_IN_THE_GAME** · 07-12-2004, 01:31 PM

hey bro i do not know everything - but a good cutting stack that i have used is- animal cuts/ take 2 paks a day for 21 days straight. this is good to be stacked with tight by san. universal makes animal cuts. i even mixed them and after the 3 weeks - i took taraxatone. works wonders bro. hope this helped

**aggies1ut** · 07-12-2004, 01:58 PM

If you are coming back from hospitalization for an eating disorder, I would strongly reccomend not taking any sort of thermogenics or fat burners. Your goals shohiuld be to slowly starting increasing your overall calories and then start working on gaining some muscle mass. This will take time though because mentally, weight gain might start messing with your head and cause setbacks.

**NEW_IN_THE_GAME** · 07-12-2004, 02:01 PM

anyone got any info for me- i am almost 6'5 i am 225 pounds- 17 years old male.
i have 15 % body fat- i usually take in 140-200g protein a day. i am wondering how to get to around 260 or 270 with 10-11% body fat. i am going to try a cycle- musco mxt-max creatine-dlm-and diosgenin. will this be good????????????

**Lewie** · 07-12-2004, 02:30 PM

Well my parents don't know i'm taking any pills whatsoever, so i'm buying them with my own money, which is like $120 every 40 days and i don't got that kind of money so eventually i'm gonna have to stop whether i like it or not.
also if 2 set of 15 reps isn't gonna do anything for me, would 3 or 4 sets of 15 reps help, or is that still too little?
And just one more question lol (i must be getting on everyones nerves) I just went out and bought some whey protein, and the nutrional information says per one scoop...but how much is one scoop? a tablespoon? 2 tablespoons? anyone have a clue?

**Premo55** · 07-12-2004, 02:37 PM

Uh...
didn't they give you the scoop in the container?
And don't use thermogenics. Waste of money. Plus, you're 15 years old, I don't see why you need a metabolism boost

For training, go read up on GoPro's P/R/SS system in the training forum. It's easy enough for beginners

Peace.

**Lewie** · 07-12-2004, 02:49 PM

Well i thought they gave you the scooper too, but its not in there..it just says that 1 scoop is 31G and you should get 32 servings outta it, so maybe there some math formula or something, if there is one i got no idea what it is. And i'm gonna stop taking the pills, i find they do nothing, they say it'll also give you a huge energy burst, which didn't happen.
Thanks for your guys help

**rjr5353** · 07-12-2004, 04:18 PM

Hey Bro - You definitely should have gotten a scopper with that protein powder - I would just take it back dude.....Get one that has the scooper, much easier.......Hey Bro - You should definitely stay away from those pills, they are no good....Trust me on that one! I had an eating disorder so to speak myself....I was losing weight like crazy and it was hard for me to see what I was doing to myself......Then I found this love for weightlifting and have completely turned my body around.....Dont be scared to eat....I eat all the time now and I can barely put the weight on.......

**Lewie** · 07-12-2004, 04:38 PM

Ya i went back to the store and got one with a scooper, and thank for all your guys's advice, i'm gonna try and increase my calorie intake by 150 each week and see if i can handle that.

Don't get discourages by water retention which will make you weight more. Your body needs this. Start a journal and log your meals and training so that you always have support from everyone here.

**Akateros** · 07-12-2004, 07:19 PM

You will also weigh more if you gain mass. Try to ignore the scale, and instead go by your measurements. I gained twenty pounds before I gained any inches at all when I started lifting seriously and, er, eating. (And I am considerably shorter than you.)

Try to dump the thermogenics as soon as you can. They will not allow your body to find its own metabolic balance, and used in the long term, can actually screw up your thyroid and adrenals, thus making you gain fat. And they make you feel lousy. Drink green tea. It's good for you.

Also, stupid numbers of situps are very comforting to the disordered mind, but do not in fact do that much for the abs (though I suppose they're something to do while watching movies, which is when I used to do them). Personally, I find intense, weighted situps, with reasonable repetitions (treating the abs like any other muscle group) much more effective.

I hope you take P-funk's good advice, and keep us posted with your progress in a journal. You can do it, you'll be surprised.
