Maybe time to get away from the hit workouts. I see more size than anything from them. I normally dont get to much of a strength gain.

I'm beginning to think that HIT isn't for everyone. I don't think that this routine is beneficial (other than for weight loss) for beginners like myself.

5x5 was just the opposite, it's a great workout for beginners, just not for advanced lifters.

Once I've some more quality time under my belt, I'll come back to HIT.

Heck yes, Brother Archangel! I lost 14 pounds, and two inches off my waist! That didn't help with my max lifts, but I'm certainly not going to cry about it. :thumbs:
 
I know I am little late here.

But I am sure we all experience the diet toughness. Like was stated earlier it is an everday all day occurrence. That is where organization is the key; have a schedule of foods, and prepare them in advance. If you are prepared then there is less of a chance to wander off the trail to some shitty food.

This is coming from a food addict, I know how easy it is to vier off course.

I'm with on you this 100%! I've started by actively reprioritizing my food preparation to the top of the list.

I started this on Monday, and I've been doing pretty damn good so far. Not only that, but the food is better. :)

If you, or anyone else, has any food suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them! Jodi has already given me a lot of them, but I'd like more. Especially, salad dressings.
 
Can't help much with Dressings. I use Newman's Own.

Breakie for me is:

Eggs White and whole
Ezekiel Bread
Salsa
And some Fruit

I usually have a couple of Shakes during the day,
PP, Oatbran, Yogurt, Milled Flaxseed, Berries, Skim Milk.

Then some Salad, with Shrimp or Chicken, and Some Rice.

Then dinner at home Some Dead animal, Potatoes/rice/some carb, veggies

Hope that helps a little.

I was supposed to workout today, but didn't. Not that I was lazy. I only had enough time today to workout or to go food shopping (I have nothing in house) and cook it.

I swore that I wasn't going to let my diet take a backseat my training. So I went shopping and prepared some food.

I purchased wide variety of fruits. Including strawberries and blueberries. I like to put them in my low-fat vanilla yogurt. It's one of my favorite, healthier, foods.

I purchased some flank steak and will purchase some skirt steak tomorrow. I'm looking forward to making a bourbon marinade. I also purchased some salmon.

I'm really focusing on the protein. I eat enough (too much!) carbs. I figure if I focus on the protein, the carbs and fats will take care of themselves. Mind you, I'll be eating the good carbs.

So, tonight, instead of working out and then eating out, I did my shopping and ate 2 oz. of beef and 2 oz. of chicken. I also ate 3/4 a cup of low-fat vanilla yogurt with four strawberries and a small handful of blueberries.

Yeah, it's not the best meal, but it's a start.

I cooked some ground beef and chicken in preparation for the next three days meals. I'll also cook some steak and fish for dinner. But there's no way I'm going to reheat that.

Very cool! So what you got planned for the diet?

I think you hit the nail on the head here. HIT is not for beginners. It is more for immediate to advanced trainers to break thru a plateau.

It helped me gain size but i remember always feeling like shit on it.
 
HIT is always fun, but like you said, it isn't for beginners.

I started doing it because with school, finals, work, etc. it was hard to be in the gym so often. What I began to find out is that it took so much mental focus and energy that my preparation, thinking, breathing, and eating the workouts took just as much time, if not more.

I'll venture back to it one of these days, but the reason it worked so well for idols of mine like Casey Viator is very simple. He didn't do anything besides workout three times per week. He slept, ate, relaxed, didn't work, didn't have to think. When you have an unlimited amount of energy, Arthur Jones holding you hostage for reps at gunpoint, and your life/salary in the bodybuilding business riding on it, you're going to have a good fucking workout.

I wish someone would put a gun to my head while squatting for a set. It'd be PR galore.
 
For the record, I'm not taking anything away from Casey. He's my all-time favorite bodybuilder and I'd do anything that wasn't gay to meet him.

I really like the shake idea! How about some good sauce ideas?

Thank, Jodi!

Right now I eat four times a day. Yeah, it's the not six time I should be eating, but I was failing too often while trying to do that.

My meals for the past week:

1: eggs, ground beef, and spinach leaves (I've found that I like to snack on these, too).

2. Walnuts, fruits, and veggies

3. Home-made chicken salad and veggies

4. Steak, chicken, or fish; a small salad; a cup and a half of low-fat yogurt with chopped up fruit.

I did pretty good this week. Can you recommend a plan based around this?

Thanks again for all your help, Jodi!

C'mon DOMS where's the next WMD workout???
Click to expand...

:lol:

No more WMD workouts for right now.

I'll tell you what my next workout is, but you have to promise not to tell Stewart. He'd stop dating me if he found out.

...

I'm going to do the 5x5 again. ;) I'm not sure that you were here the last time I did it. God, I love that routine. I made great gains on it and it's also mentally fun.

Yep, that's it. I had a lot of fun doing HIT, though. Trying to shave off a few more seconds each workout, and trying to pack more in.

I'm most certainly going to do it again!

Yeah, I can come up with something around that. What about complex carbs though like oats etc.....

Send me your stats.

I see you like that egg/beef/spinach combo :) One of my favs too.

How long have you been working out? I floundered for a year and half or so. But I've been solid at it for a bit over a year.

Surprising, for me, it's pretty yummy. Considering that I puked up some spinach when I was 6, and didn't eat it again for over 20 years.

I put oats in my pre-, and post-, workout shakes, sometimes. But I don't like the texture. :puke:

I've been working out consistently since I was a freshman in high school. Baseball coach told me I wasn't "big enough," I got cut from the team and have had a chip on my shoulder ever since. I wouldn't care if I didn't deserve to make the team, but there were alot of politics involved and it killed me.

I'd love to go back to him now just to see if I'm "big enough." God I hate that guy.
 
Brother DOMS, Best Wishes on the 5x5 my Friend!!! Enjoy the weekend!!!

Sorry to hear that, man. Take solace in the fact that people that make poor calls tend to have poor lives.
