Lifting Tips?

Nytemare · January 19, 2011

Yep I spend a good 30-45 mins everyday preparing next days meals (except breakfast) when Im on my regimine.

You guys ever heard of crossfit? Its pretty intense... olympic style lifting, pretty cool. Thats what I do.

Yeah cross-fit is a pretty insane workout....but its so adaptable that anyone can use it. The weights, rest times speed of reps....everything is adjustable so you can start slow and build up.

I am currently doing a similar workout called Hardcharger. Its made for Navy Seals Hell Week applicants...in order to get you to the pinnacle of physical fitness before you go. It borrows from Cross-fit, Battle Fit and traditional workouts like circuit training and HIIT. I'm just about ready to puke every time I do this workout....and I am no stranger to the gym or circuit training.

again my daily schedule just shoots holes in the diet plan, i pretty much wake up and am on the run all day..no time to pre-make food plus no real access to a heating source to reheat the food...any solutions to that?

No one said anything about reheating dude.....If I had a dollar for every cold chicken breast and scoop of cold brown rice I have eaten man...

Snack size cans of tuna is good too...as is smoked or candied fish, cans or otherwise. Boiled eggs and good too if you can stomach them. But if your on the go all day, and you just cant stand another cold meal, Aluminum foil is your friend....Wrap your meals in foil and wedge them in beside your intake. This is about as ghetto as it gets, but it gets the job done man.

You pre-make your stuff in the night...or live out of a can. When all else fails you can buy the uncle bens instant brown rice...make sure its the brown rice though...the other stuff is junk...it takes 2 min in the microwave and its 3 servings.

Not a whole lot of goodness in a can of soup...and a tonne of sodium. You'd be better off with something like tuna. Remember your looking for max protein every 3-4 hrs. You can also but flakes of Chicken flakes of turkey...that sort of thing. A little hot sauce goes a long way too...or even a packet of mayo and a packet of mustard mixed in....your not really trying to watch calories that close.

Protien/Fat/Carbs

Heres an example:

1st break: Protien drink/almonds/vegetables(raw) and maybe a apple or something

Lunch: (Canned Tuna or Salmon)/Walnuts or Avocado/Salad (I like spinach)

2nd Break: Cottage Cheese/Cheese or walnuts/some vegetables

This is what I do when I don't have a stove or microwave, and I'm at work. When I do have a stove/bbq (my lunchroom at my main place of employment does) I cook chicken and steak instead of using canned goods, and vegetables instead of salad. Also I could make a stirfry with chicken/olive oil/vegetables, the night before and thats a perfect meal in itself.

It is time consuming to prepare, I'll say, but Ive never got such results as when I eat balanced.

You should get the shake weight.

Those are some good ideas. The only thing that I would change would be to have the cottage cheese at night too, before you go to bed. The cassien protiens burn slower and keep your metabolism going through the night. Fat Free Cottage Cheese FTW.

Absolutly Also the longer lasting Cassien Protein means its available in the body all night to repair what you did to it that day at the gym. Less soreness, quicker repair and faster muscle mass gain are all the benfits there.

Remember there are Protein bars available too....just read the labels as some are full of sugar and fat. Also other high protein snacks like Protein crunch (made with pumpkin seeds). Than there's Thin crust Pizza, as crazy as it sounds, pizza has a load of goodness in it if you ensure you pile it up with veg and chicken, just stay away from the deep dish and stuff loaded with cheese....I like ristorante brand. I know anyone who has done college loves cold Pizza...just stay away from the warm beer part....LOL. Actually a beer every now and than is actually good for you.

One of my friends got me that as a gag gift... The instructional dvd WAY more funny than the infomercial

jro909 · January 20, 2011

so the key really is to pile on the protein? maybe some supplements?

i'm just trying to get everything nailed down, i'm trying hard to avoid having to worry about cooking food and or leaving food in the truck as its in the negative here so any food is going to be frozen..my idea is to hit the whey and creatine and eat as much solid protein through my day and pile on the vitamins to fill the gaps..sound good? i'm not trying to slide into a speedo and do any competitions, i just want to bulk up a little

Protein is your staple for bulking. You can do sandwitches too as you are pretty lean and likely need the extra calories. you should be eating your desired weight in grams of protein a day....so if you want to be 180lb...than you want to eat 180g of protein a day.

Bars are a great way to accomplish this....but you do want to take in no more than 20-30 grams per every 3-4 hrs...you cannot absorb more than than and you'll be just pooping it out...thats a waste of money.

If all else fails....shakes are fine too.

get your self an insulated large lunch carrier...so you can toss a bottle of boiled water in there to keep things warm for hrs.

And when your on the go...remember there is subway....lots of protein and good low GI carbs in a 6" turkey breast...you can likely eat the whole foot long as your trying to bulk....you are looking at about 3000-3500 calories a day minimum man. A good burger is not gonna hurt you either...just not McD's or burger king etc...I mean something thats "homemade"...like at truck stops and decant restaurants.

Yogurt is another good source of protein...low cal frozen yogurt and even low cal or fat reduced Ice Cream...

Drink lots of milk too...its a good source of protein.

Your Pre-workout shake should be 1 cup of milk, 1 cup of water, a scoop of protein and a packet of oatmeal...you'll get used to that....you need the slow release carbs for fuel during the workout, and than directly after, 1 scoop of protein mixed with milk and fruit...I like to blend up a smoothie. I also use Sherbert or ice cream in it too...simple carbs help transport the protein to where it needs to be. Than within the hour try and get real food into you.

Don't make the mistake of eating fatty foods to make up the calories though....bad for the heart and if you put fat on its a bitch and a half to get off....I'm paying for it now man...40lbs gone since NOV 2010, 30 more to go....That will put me at 185 Than I will reevaluate. When I joined the Navy in 2002 I was 285...thats eating shitty food, full of fat and pushing stupid weights. I maxed out at just over 500lbs squat, 1500lb leg press, 465lb bench, and a 495lb deadlift. My buddies always joked saying if you cant outrun the bus, you may as well bench it.

If you need diet help man Just e-mail or PM me and I'll hook you up. Same with lifts or programs. I'll give you some stuff I used to get stronger.

Oh and BTW...put the Creatine in the back of your cupboard for the next 3 monts minimum. You will just put on false weight...Gain 10lbs naturally first...than jump on the Creatine.
