did I gain more fat then muscle this tiem around?

[P-funk]

what have you workouts looked like? You diet?

Long story short...NO, it is not normal! It sounds like you did some things incorrectly and lost muscle, and recompositioned the wrong way (lost muscle and gained some fat possibly). Could have been a combination of poor program design and poor diet (especially if you dropped cals to fast).

 

[Makram]

well this is my diet

meal 1

1 1/2 scoop of whey with non fat milk
I used to have egg whites but got sick of them
1/3 cup of oatmeal

meal 2

2 chicken breast
1-2 cup of broccoli
1 sweet potatoe

meal 3

2 scoops proten whey with no fat milk

meal 4

fish
salad
handful of almonds

meal 5
was liek meal 2 but now I would have some veggies beofre bed...


working out, I have a trainer so he pushes, but I noticed my strength went down esp my benching.....

 

[P-funk]

Holy fuck.....that is like 1200 calories! That diet is horrible.

What is the program your trainer has you doing? Doesn't your trainer talk about diet with you?

 

[Makram]

he is not good with diet......its not his thing he says....

what should I do keep cuttign or should I start a very lean bulking diet

 

[Makram]

I will be honest I cheated a few times on a cut, its hard esp when u go out and drink ...

 

[tucker01]

he is not good with diet......its not his thing he says....

what should I do keep cuttign or should I start a very lean bulking diet

Get a new trainer then. If he is that retarded to ignore diet as part of a training program, then he is useless.

 

[Makram]

well he doesnt ignore diet, he is a big guy but to him diet is not his thing....Ive beenw ith him for 2 years now and because of him I have some muscle on me I used to be very very skinny

 

[tucker01]

It doesn't matter what his thing is.

Diet is key. Do you think muscles just magically appear.

Oh because he is big.... oh I understand.

 

[Seanp156]

You probably could've done that, or even more if you educated yourself and didn't rely on a poor trainer that ignores the importance of diet.

 

[BulkMeUp]

Study the sticky 'Guide to...' it'll teach you to fix you diet yourself.

 

[Makram]

I disagree with u gusy puttign him down, he is very good...he does know the importance of diet and yes he does tell me what to eat and all that like lots of protetin but what I meant by diet is nto hsi thing is that he doeanst design diets or claculet what he eats etc....

 

[tucker01]

whatever man. I would never hire a trainer that ignores something as important as that.

You love how he does things, fine. Obviously the results aren't speaking for them self.

You do the math. Pretty simple to me.

 

[Makram]

well I'm asking for help?

 

[tucker01]

your diet sucks balls. And you starved yourself.

 

[Hialeahchico]

stop takin it personal and do what they adviced you, you asked for help and their opinion so they gave it to you. Now read the stickys.

 

[Makram]

ok what should I do to imporve it....

 

[tucker01]

You have been a member here for almost a year, have you read anything?

Check the Stickies. Guide to...

 

[P-funk]

post your trainers program.....it sounds like the both of you need to read the stickies.

 

[Makram]

I did read the stickies and I know whats good foods and bad, but my main thing is making a diet plan all together.......

liek now what should I do in your opions stop trying to lean and start lean bulking.....

that my main problem is that I knwo the foods to eat but 1) thw whole diet plan(making it) 2) I want to gain lots of muslce without fat or very littel of it...

 

[P-funk]

WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR TRAINERS PROGRAM!!!!!

If you really read the stickies, they tell you how to set up a meal plan!

 

[Makram]

with my work schduel is hard for me to go to the gym on the same days each week.....

chest with tricpes
back with biceps
legs with shoulders,...

at times we chage it up and have a arm workout.....or we do some legs with chest to rest my chest ect.....

 

[P-funk]

holy fuck......you need to:

a) fire your trainer

b) start reading here more

c) fire your trainer

d) tell your trainer he is a moron

 

[Makram]

why..partly its me I cant egt to the gym as much as I could....

 

[P-funk]

why..partly its me I cant egt to the gym as much as I could....

that is even more of a reason to have a training program which works on major muscle groups instead of wasting time with direct arm work and bull shit.

No time to go to the gym??

1) total body workouts

2) some heavy tension work and some metabolic work....

Example:

Day 1:

1a) squat- 3x6
RI= 60sec
1b) bench press- 3x6
RI= 60sec

2a) DB row- 3x10
2b) step up- 3x10
2c) triceps pressdown- 3x10
RI= 30sec after 2c

3a) planks- 3x60s


Day 2:

1a) RDL- 3x6
RI= 60sec
1b) chin up- 3x6
RI= 60sec

2a) DB shoulder press- 3x10
2b) walking lunge- 3x10
2c) DB hammer curl- 3x10
RI= 30sec after 2c

3a) reverse crunch- 3x20

Your trainer sucks and if you weigh a "flyweight" of 150 pounds with stomach fat then you are a skinny fat person and your trainer helped you get there.
