time to eat some more



Posted by: crazy_enough

why not have a little of everything at every meal...protein, carbs, fats... if ure biulking, I dont get why ure meals are things like `canned chicken`or two pieces of chicken. C`mon, eat like u mean it!



Posted by: KEFE

well I could just eat juk that i have instead but if im gettin enugh protein and carbs eating good foods it is better than eating junkier food.



Posted by: crazy_enough

Oh I didnt mean to have junk (BTW, I do think canned chicken is fuggin junk).... things like fruit N veggies, natty PB, whole grain sources, cottage, yogurt....ya know...



Posted by: KEFE

well i dont have any of the stuff you just mentioned accept for the PB but the pot pie has a bunch of Veggies in it with white chicken meat.



Posted by: crazy_enough

so , no fruit, no vegetables, no dairy, no bread no nothing at ure house? Its a miracle uve grown as much as u have LOLOL

seriously dude, U want comments on the diet, Im giving some... it aint no bulking diet. Whey, oats and canned/frozen crap... It needs work. Ure young, u can pretty much eat whatever u want, I commend u for wanting to avoid junk, but just imagine the results u could generate if u gave a shit and tweaked ure food intake...



Posted by: KEFE

whats the problem though I am getting 340 grams of protein with decent foods.I included milk in there and I have cheese and bread with turkey but I would have to eat a lot of it to get what i am getting from the other foods I am currently eating.I want to know how it isn't a bulking diet.

you'll be fine your diet better then 80% of the population she is just saying fruits and vegtables can really help you out. Their is more to food then just calories

really? but thats not the point. kid wants to bulk and , dont get me wrong, he`s indeed ahead of the majority by actually caring about this stuff at his young age... BUT aside from milk, whey and oats, what does he eat? canned chix and frozen pot pies... Have some canned tuna, inhale PB, shredded wheats, apples and berries, beef, shrimp, throw in some cheese, eat potatoes, nuke some rice... Its easy really.

Im a little ''old school'' maybe in that I like to see real food, variety and a health conscious diet... whil;e he can afford to eat pretty much anything and make gains, why not steer him in the right direction...?

Posted by: KEFE

I gotta catch up on protein I only had two meals and have 4 more to go.I did chest and biceps and im gonna go back out there later and do legs probably.Today chest wasnt very strong like usual but its becasue my triceps and shoulders are kinda wore out from yesterday and it was like 90 degrees.


Flat bench press
135x10
135x10
135x10
Incline bench press
115x10

I dont like the way the chest part of the workout went because I have done 145x10 and 135x12 before but I should be stronger next week.



Posted by: juggernaut

what the hell is canned chicken?



Posted by: KEFE

Canned chicken is like tuna but its chicken.



Posted by: juggernaut

whats wrong with regular chicken-not out of the can?
Sounds like too much salt.



Posted by: KEFE

Chicken not out of the can is a lot more money and doesnt say the nutritional facts.



Posted by: juggernaut

you ever hear of Purdue? Butterball? Tyson? The label is right on the back. cook your own chicken-use a grill.



Posted by: KEFE

My dad wont let me.



Posted by: juggernaut

are you kidding??????



Posted by: Brutus_G

I like this fruit and veggies are the two biggest things you need to add to your diet.

Today I was checking out some John Cena pics and it made me want to train shoulders and triceps.The tricep portion went pretty good.Shoulders werent very strong though.Last week I did 40lbs for 10 reps in each hand for DB shoulder press but I did something different this week.

BB military press
65x8
75x8
85x8
Tricep pushdown
50x12
60x12
90x5
CG bench press(set some PR's here today)
90x15
110x10
120x8
130x4(triceps finally gave out)
Front raises
10lbs 10 reps
DB shoulder press(light wieght-half of what i use for heavy)
20lbs in each hand 10 reps.

Next workout will be legs.



Posted by: juggernaut

thats kind of odd that you decided to train like cena...why?



Posted by: KEFE

I didnt train like him I just seen some pics and decided i wanted to work shoulder and triceps.



Posted by: KEFE

Today was a short leg workout. My numbers were insane today.


Leg extensions
90x10
125x10
150x10
175x5----drop set 150x5
90x12
90x10

Haven't done a leg workout in like a couple of months and those are my best numbers.



Posted by: KEFE

Tomorrow will be an insane chest workout.I will be doing incline,flat,decline,flies, and dips.

you consider leg extensions a leg workout? There's this exercise out called "squats". I'm hearing really good things about it.



Posted by: juggernaut

did you even break a sweat? how much have you gained on your "bulk" thus far? an ounce?



Posted by: KEFE

I dont know because I dont have a weight scale.



Posted by: KEFE

I did back today.I have a new pic from it.





Posted by: KEFE





Posted by: KEFE

ok this time i am uploading it



Posted by: KEFE

I just weighed myself and I am 129lbs on an empty stomach.I will wiegh myself everyday now...



Posted by: KEFE

I will also wiegh myself before bed....



Posted by: Hialeahchico

what does your back routine look like?



Posted by: kinkery

prolly the samething as his leg workout. only 1 exercise



Posted by: KEFE

well the exercise that sparked the most growth was Pulldowns but it is something like this:

T-bar rows( i have to use a rolled up towel that make my grip strength a little better)12,10,10,8,8
Pulldowns 12,10,10,10
Pulley rows suprseted with pullups 12,10,10

Sometimes i add in DB rows.

that isnt a very solid back workout .



Posted by: KEFE

When I do my next workout it will be more than just the extensions it will be squats,deads,extensions,leg curls,and calf raises.



Posted by: KEFE

Why isnt it "solid"?It works for me.

i real back workout would look like this:

Bentover Rows
Heavy WG Pullups or Heavy Chins
Seated Cable Rows
Rack Deads

you have 1 freeweight exercise and the rest is machine crap



Posted by: KEFE

On mine I have to put the plates on it and It is a good workout for me so I'm ok with it.I do two free weight exercises and one bodyweight with 2 cable.

you really are neurotic. Weigh yourself once or twice a week. Change the composition of your workouts-favor multijoint exercises. Squats, deads, heavy benches, military presses, bent over rows, etc. Forget the machine shit. You'll be spinning your wheels needlessly. Go heavy and forget the 10 rep mark bullshit. 2 to 3 sets of 6-8 grueling reps are the mainstay for gaining size. Rest more, eat complex carbs, eat more REAL protein sources, increase fats. Stop with the canned shit-and tell daddy you want to learn how to use a fucking stove.
By your pics, you look like a basketball player. Forget posing for the fucking camera for a nice avatar, forget machines, stop with the pussy moves and become a fucking beast because this shit any getting you anywhere.

Every one always tells me that bullshit with the reps and the workout.Well if you are so right about the workout why dont you give a full week of workouts with what you are saying.



Posted by: KEFE

Oh and not everybody has the money to eat the meat and stuff
( i try though but meat is expensive here.)and I dont have all the equipment that other people have.

Posted by: juggernaut

If you really are serious about working out, which i dont think you are, look up a workout called Super Squats, by Randall Strossen. I've put so much muscle using this one routine. then if you really serious, stop making dumbfuck excuses, get a fucking job part time to help pay for the shit-you do go on the internet to read ironmag so obviously you do have some money or mommy and daddy do-then I will make a workout for you. Nobody said bulking was easy but the pathetic bullshit youre posting wouldnt put an ounce of weight on a ladybug.

my version of hungryman:

fatty steak for the increased test, makes you stronger
2 cups of brown rice
brocoli dripping over the plate and a glass of fat free milk.



Posted by: juggernaut

hungryman meals, canned chicken...you aint broke, youre fucking lazy.



Posted by: KEFE

I cant get a part time job until I am 15 and even if I did I coudnt get a ride there.(my mom died and my dad is at work)And yes I am serious about training.



Posted by: juggernaut

then wax cars. I did when i was 13 all the way up until 22 years old to pay for my supps money.



Posted by: KEFE

I dont get to just pick all of the food we buy and my dad woudnt buy only meat because it would cost too much because he would want all of us to eat it.



Posted by: KEFE

I cant even leave the house so how the fuck will I wax a car?



Posted by: KEFE

And I cant buy that FUCKING BOOK.why dont you help me out by typing it?(just the routine.



Posted by: kinkery

heres a great article i found:

Quote:
Your body is a machine… a well-oiled precision machine... A machine that is only as good as the fuel which you feed it. Eat shit, well then you may end up looking like shit. Bad food… Foods loaded with saturated fat and sugar are not going to help you build a well-oiled machine. Good fats, good proteins, and low glycemic carbohydrates are the key ingredients to build that machine. Timing… Knowing when to eat different foods and combinations for maximum strength and muscular development. If you don't know, then its time to learn how to grow.

What do you want? Muscle. How do you build it? By paying attention and busting your ass every time you train. I am talking balls to the wall, no excuses, and 120% effort every time you train. Ah, that's not it... No... Not even close. See 50% is training, the other half, well that's nutrition. Now I am not going to bore you by talking about micronutrients, counting carbs or any of that crap. Instead I will teach you how to build strength, power and mountains of muscle.

Scared yet? Think again before you say no. Look deep inside yourself and ask this one question: Do I have what it takes to get it done? I know I do. I live it. I breathe it. I dream it. Victory will be mine. How about you? This is not a test. This is reality. Do you drop those pink panties and squat to pee? Or do you think you want it more then me? Prove it. Now is the time.

It's all about controlling your insulin levels. That's right. You've gotta keep your blood sugar levels in check. I am not talking to endurance athletes; I am talking to the true iron warriors. Figuring out the protein is easy: 1.5-2.5 grams per lean lbs of body weight. That's not enough. You can eat the highest quality aminos and proteins and still not make the gains you would expect. Why? Because regardless if you have your protein portions right you still need to keep those insulin levels in check.

When the body ingests high glycemic carbs, your body releases insulin to bring your blood sugar under control. The insulin that is released into the blood will drive all unneeded carbs and free flowing blood sugar right into storage in the liver, abdominal area, also between the skin and muscle. That's right, I said fat storage. Drink a ton of non-diet soda and you will be huge. You'll have the biggest ass this side of the Mississippi.

Insulin is the most anabolic hormone on the planet. It makes the body store extra carbs as energy in the muscle when needed or as fat when muscles do not need it. Now a pound of fat has 3500 calories of energy in it. Shit... That's a lot of energy in just a pound. Look at it this way, to lose one pound of fat you have to either expend 3500 calories of energy or reduce your caloric intake by 3500 calories. So what do we do? Panic that's what. Or instead listen to a few helpful hints to getting it done right.

First agree that weight gains that are not muscular are exactly what we don't want so pick low glycemic carbs. Whole grains, oatmeal, yams, brown rice, low carb whole grain bread, greens, and some fruits (apples, oranges strawberries & cantaloupe). Fruit juice is the same as soda because it absorbs very quickly into the blood stream sending insulin levels through the roof... Storing fat and causing havoc on your endocrine or hormone system. Believe it or not spiking your insulin levels has a direct effect on the aging process, diabetes, cholesterol counts, blood pressure and more. Spiking your insulin makes you old and fat. Unless you use it to your advantage and spike your insulin only during those few times where you can really make gains from doing so.

The best time to spike your insulin is within 45 minutes after a high intensity resistance training workout (yes that means lifting hard… Balls to the wall, baby). But remember you only have a 45 minute window of opportunity to get it done. It? Yeah… It. It being the key to growth. After your body is finished working out your muscles are starved for fuel, ATP, glycogen or simply put carbohydrates. Now by spiking your insulin you can replenish those lost energy stores helping the body not only recover quickly but helping the muscles absorb nutrients needed to grow and repair from the damage that resistance training causes… Yes I said damage.

Lifting itself is not anabolic. In fact, it's a catabolic (tearing down muscle) trigger that causes anabolism (the building of muscle). That's why you only need to train intensely with weights for about an hour to an hour and a half max. That's it. No more. That 45 minute window is a really good opportunity to drive some quality protein, aminos, cell volumizers like creatine and glutamine into the muscles helping them recover and grow faster.

Here is my current post workout concoction, half a carb drink and 3 scoops of Ultra Iso Whey with Storm, glutamine and some Animal Nitro. The sugar and maltodextrin (starch derived from corn) is ideal for spiking insulin levels while the muscles are starved for replenishment. During this period the muscles will take in more nutrients than needed in order to compensate for the stress caused by the workout. This means more strength and muscle growth. Yeah man.

The second best time to spike your insulin is 30 minutes prior to training. The idea here is to keep insulin levels high during training to protect muscle breakdown. Here is what I do before I train--a couple of Animal Nitro G packets, 3 scoops of Ultra Iso Whey and another serving of Storm and glutamine. What do you think? Is this making sense to you at all?

The rest of your diet should be rich in quality proteins and aminos, low glycemic carbs, and healthy fats. Yes, I said fats. Peanuts, cashews, olive oil, artichokes, fish, dairy and meats, along with flaxseed oil, and CLA (conjugated linoleic acid). The omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids help iasulin management. At 5'3" and competing at 195lbs, I only take in about 100-175 carbs a day pre-contest. That's it. Bottom line, to control fat gain--keeping it at a minimum while continuing to make quality muscle gains--you have to control carbs and insulin bursts… And like always, train hard.

This what i would do to gain size and I have done. It works because of sheer simplicity.

Done Monday, Wednesday and Friday-actually, you can go Monday and Wednesday.
squats see below
2 warmup sets, then 1 set of a weight that you can do for eight reps, but complete 20 reps. Take 3 deep breaths after every rep at the top. Take 7 minute break.
Incline press or flat 1 warmup set 2x6-8
Wide grip Rows 1 warmup set 2x6-8
Military press 1 warmup set 2x6-8
Barbell Curl No need for warmup 1x6-8
CG bench No need for warmup 1x6-8
Calf Raises 1 high rep warmup set 2x6-8
Take 3-4 minute breaks in between each set.
Go as heavy as inhumanly possible.

Scrap this whole thing and start new. Food needs to be a priority.
As for cash, I lived in a shitty neighborhood. I didnt go pondering out into the streets. My mother and father would kill me. The people dropped the car off and never went inside my house. Or ask a neighbor to mow a lawn.



Posted by: KEFE

I will try to get my diet as good as possible with what I have.



Posted by: KEFE

I did the routine today and I liked it.I set a new personal record or 169x6 on bench press.


Squats( first time in since a bunch of months)
95x20(too easy im gonna do 115 next time and try to increase in 5 lb increments every workout on squats)
Flat bench press
159x6(should have done 8)
169x6
Military press(wrist problems so used the smith machine)
decent strain but dont know the wieght because i am using the smith machine on military this week.)
BB curls
70x6 or 8 cant remember
CG bench 135x8(" gonna bump that to 145 for however many reps on next workout)
Calf raises
155x10
155x10

overall a good workout and I felt pretty strong on everything except squats because i am just getting back into them. I had some eggs earlier and a protein shake so I need to eat some more now.



Posted by: juggernaut

much better. Now, the point of this workout is to get at least 5 to 10 lbs up on each workout in each lift.

Alright again thanks for the workout and I hope to gain strength while gaining mass so you will be updated.



Posted by: KEFE

Today I weighed 132.5 lbs.



Posted by: juggernaut

so you gained a 1/2 lb?



Posted by: KEFE

I gained like 3lbs because last timei was 129.5.I would wiegh more right now but I lost a lot of leg size over the last couple of months.



Posted by: KEFE

Todays diet wasnt very well before workout but I'm about to drink a bunch of milk.

Squats 115x20
Bench press 169x6 169x6 (got help on the 6th rep on each set)
Rows didnt record wieght
Military 65x8 65x8(wrist problem)
CG bench 135x8
Curl 65x6 65x6



Posted by: KEFE

Today I'm going for 8 reps on everything instead of 6.



Posted by: KEFE

Today wasnt a great day. It was very hot and I ended up cutting my hand to where I had to use false grip on my exercises.I also cut this one short.

Squats
135x15( the heat is terrible)
Incline bench 145x5 135x6-8 (false grip- not as many reps as i would with reg grip)
CG bench 135x8 false grip
BB curls 65x8 coudnt grip the bar because of the cut on my hand. Maybe it will be healed by Monday.

I will weigh myself on Wednesday and record it in here.I hope I am around 135 on Wednesday.(should be able to gain 2.5lbs by then because My legs will be growing at a fast rate because I havent worked them in a long time and the GH from the squats will promote growth in other parts so I hope it is a good couple of months.

I like your thinking, but don't forget that food is more important than the little bit of extra gh produced from working legs.

I'm sure you know how to eat and all, but give us a rundown of what yo uare eating everyday, and some of us can help you tweak your diet.

Ok today it was about 90 degrees during my workout.I havent done barbell military press in a while so I'm happy with the number i had on it.Squats were terrible today.I had an ankle pain and it was too hot so i only did 10 reps.


Squats 135x10( last time i got 15)- heat outside is really affecting these numbers
Bench 155x8
Drop set 155x6 then droped to 135 and did 6
BB row 95x8
95x8
Military press 95x8
95x8
EZ bar curls 61x10

Today I wieghed 133lbs so I am going to change the goal of 135 to friday instead of wedesday due to my crappy eating the last 3 days.My chest is more full on the positive side of things and my shoulders were a little more full.I also am starting to form more striations in pecs and shouders.



Posted by: KEFE

Today I went light on the lifting.I have to go to the doctor today with my brother and dad when I dont even have an appointment.

Bench press 135x13
EZ curls 75x10-felt good
CG bench 75x15-easy coud probably do 115x12-15
Front shoulder raises.


I will probably go heavy on friday.

Oh yeah Its time for some steak.

I was kinda thinking that benching 3 times a week isnt helping me a lot and is actually hurting me.I would rather just run through everything once a week instead and do more volume but only once a week instead of 3 times.Do you think this will work out better?



Posted by: DOMS

Everyone is different, and I don't know if it applies to Benching, but when I did Squats three times a week, both my numbers, and my calves, just exploded.



Posted by: KEFE

I might do squats on shoulder day and on arm day if i go to a split.
