I liked reading about your diet.... you eat lots of cottage cheese, I do too. Does it bother your tummy at all?

SportinStyle · 04-15-2004, 10:10 AM

lol Fit, all the chicks here seem to like you.

I used to be shy around women until I finally understood how good it is to have one and my shyness just flew out the door.

Change what you do at clubs etc. and try to find a girl that talks more than you do so all you have to do is anwer questions

Sapphire · 04-15-2004, 10:14 AM

OR take your shirt off!!

Fit Freak · 04-15-2004, 01:15 PM

LMAO.....this is funny.....Rule #1 = no taking shirts off at the clubs

...unless asked to by a cutie...lol Wait...refer to Rule #1

Fit Freak · 04-15-2004, 01:18 PM

Oh yeah...about the Cottage Cheese...I'm totally fine with lactose....so no bloating or any of the other horror stories...now when I cut carbs and eat a pile of brussells sprouts (my green of choice)...then watch out...I am no fun to be around

Sapphire · 04-15-2004, 06:26 PM

You are lucky. Cottage cheese gives cramps...

if I eat too much of it! YUCK! Brussels sprouts!!

SportinStyle · 04-15-2004, 07:00 PM

lol I eat a cup of cottage cheese a day... not too good alone but mixed with some hot runny eggs... MMM That's my breakfast there... complete with HELLA PROTEIN and little fat.

Fit Freak · 04-15-2004, 07:28 PM

Brussels....they're OK...if you get the BABY variety....not as bitter....I cook them very well....til tender and add some salsa...they're not bad

SkinnyKid · 04-15-2004, 10:16 PM

I should try them I guess, I eat spinach and broccoli almost EVERYDAY!! Boring!!!

Fit Freak · 04-19-2004, 01:26 PM

Try'em...you get pretty used to them especially with a little salsa....AND...I buy them frozen...not as good as fresh but easier to cook, still plenty of nutrients and NO sodium.

Brussels are about the MOST FILLING vegie out there...but if you're attached warn you significant other...you may be a "hazard" for a while until your body gets used to them

**Jodi** · 04-19-2004, 01:41 PM

OMG those are the nastiest vegetables ever!!

Fit Freak · 04-19-2004, 03:19 PM

...guess ya gotta get used to them...definately bitter...salsa helps...but they've sadly become my vigie staple...guess I'm a freak....lol

aztecwolf · 04-19-2004, 08:23 PM

dude i love my brussel sprouts i eat em every day, just plain ol' steamed brussel sprouts with nuthin' on 'em.

Fit Freak · 04-19-2004, 09:37 PM

Fit Freak · 04-19-2004, 09:37 PM

I neglected to mention...even now that my comp diet is over I am still eating about 1kg (or close to it) of them a day

Funk...thx for the kind words...and best of luck with your current pre-comp training and diet!

Sport...that's a lot of questions but I will "try" to answer. Here goes:

Do you ever sneak on your diet (have the *very* occasional cookie, etc?)

I try to eat CLEAN foods all year...regardless if I'm cutting, maintaining, or bulking. When cutting I have a "refeed" day once a week where I eat some foods not on my diet...including the occasional piece of cheesecake (ahhh...my weakness)...but don't go overboard if this is a thing you plan to do. Meaning it's NOT a free for all for a day!

When cutting (including up until about 8 weeks out from a show) I do not go extremely low carb. I continue to eat plenty of oatmeal, some brown rice, and a little sweet potato (not filling enough for me) as well as apples, strawberries, blueberries, and LOTS of vegies. Even kidney beans and lentils. The last 8 weeks I go VERY low carbs for about 5 days then have a refeed day (very low meaning only greens).

Regardless if I'm bulking or cutting I always eat a minimum of 1.5 grams of protein per lb...usually more like 2 grams per lb....hell almost ALWAYS 2 grams...who am I kidding

As far as cheating I have no desire for cookies and things like that. I just crave MORE of the things I normally would eat...except maybe a meal out (pasta and desert or something).

How much protein do you take in? (do you do 1x body?)

I ramble...so I guess I answered that one above

Take creatine?

NEVER...I personally think it's a TOTAL WASTE of time and money...my opinion...others will argue against this I am sure.

I also do not waste my time with the other "over" marketed supplements...I think you're fine with a regular protein (Optimum or something inexpensive) as well as a multi-vitamin (to be sure)...extra Vitamn C and E, maybe Calcium, and a MRP if you like it for post workout. Also get flax oil too.

In a day what is your normal meal plan?

Wow....it doesn't change a lot...and depends on my goals...but if trying to gain LBM and stay in good shape...here goes:

QUALIFIER - minmal variety...my WEAKNESS...laziness I guess

M1 - 1 cup oats (raw measure) / 12 egg whites
M2 - Tuna ? Apple
M3 - 2 Cups Fat Free Cottage Cheese with 1 Tbsp Natty PB
M4 - 2 Scoops Whey / 1 Cup Berries / 1 Tbsp Flax Oil
M5 - 1 cup oats (raw measure) / 12 egg whites
M6 - 2 Cups Fat Free Cottage Cheese with 1 Tbsp Natty PB
P=320 / C= 240 / 60

Like I said...this is only an example...it changes....daily...and I try to eat a bit more 1 day and a little less the next.

What exercises do you do for that killer chest?
I can't do anything with a bar-bench because I rarely have a spotter so I have to stick to dumbells and machines, so can you substitute me something for when you bench with a big bar?

This is interesting since my chest used to be my WEAKEST bodypart...until I discovered Flat Benxh Barbell press as well as not worrying about weight with dumbells and instead focussing on a FULL range of motion.

No spotter...no worries...I always train alone with NO spotter. Just train to failure or as close as possible. It takes practice but you will learn your limits.

I am an advocate of high volume....which differs from many opinions on this board. It works for me. train in the 6-12 rep range....pyramiding up in w8. Always hit the chest from all angles...my workouts change everytime. I usually start with flat bench press (you could use DBs)...then heavy flyes, then another press (this time DBs)...then Cables Crossovers...do weigthed dips if you still need development instead of crossovers. I do about 16 working sets..plus warm-ups. I don't waste time with drop sets. Rest a couple minutes between sets. It's not a race...but don't be lazy either.

So much of this depends on your goals. Maybe be more specific and I can lay our a specific workout for you.

Rememebr it takes years of hard work and dedication to ALWAYS eating (6-8 meals a day...day in and day out) plus gym 5 times a week...no slacking or excuses.

Good luck...hope this was helpful. Like I said things change so much for me...I am very instinctive with my training and diet...and try to listen to what my body needs and wants. This takes time and experience.

If you need specifics...ASK...that's why I came back to IM

I can't do anything with a bar-bench because I rarely have a spotter so I have to stick to dumbells and machines, so can you substitute me something for when you bench with a big bar?

Was'sup, big sexy!
heh heh...I crack myself up sometimes....seriously, good post, ff-

I was analysing your diet (trying to learn from one of the best

) could you advise me what is Natty PB?

Thanks

Natural Peanut Butter....many companies make it...just check the ingredient list and make sure the only ingredient is PEANUTS.

BTW...that's only a sample of an eating schedule...I'm not eating that now...still suffering from the post-comp overeating syndrome....and pissing me off
