This is more of a "bump" post - but on this sunday, after I just polished off my "cheat" meal of a 12 oz sirloin and a nice cold 24 oz India Pale Ale - I want all of my brothers on this thread to...

Some general Guidelines:

1: 1 g / protein per lb of bodyweight to preserve / increase muscle mass...

2: avoiding carbs later in day is good strategy

3: consider adding some low carb...

I Agree with raisethescore... do your weights first, then hit the cardio. That's exactly what my trainer told me: and since he's a pro natural BB, I said "Ok, I'll trust it..."

You said: "My plan...

so i plan on doing cardio in the mornings, probably 5 days a week or maybe even 7 if i can handle it. [/QUOTE]

Food for thought: 1. If you're going to work that hard... give yourself at least...

Hi Darkist- I went into the Navy back in 1993, weighing EXACTLY 207... I was in pretty good shape, I was doing weight training, and had done an olympic distance triathalon (1 M swim, 10k run, 40k...

Congrats!!!
Just curious, are you hitting the Cardio BEFORE or AFTER the weights?

Last year, when I was training under a natural pro bodybuilder ( michaelelias dot com) he told me : Always,...

By the way - congrats to this thread... I see we've made the "front...

Ok - things seem back on track... 243 today - started at 248.5 two weeks ago.

I think sometimes when we track things like weight daily - we're bound to get too shortsighted due to fluctuations in...

Welcome!

I don't know a thing about "insulin resistance" - but then again, there are a lot of things I don't know.

It's supposed to be basic math: Calories > burn rate, gain weight... ...

I'm having the opposite problem... I'm losing fat, and gaining LBM!

Anyway, you might want to try sipping some BCAAs during your workouts... like Scivation Extend. It's supposed to preserve your...

Last couple of days, my weight has been creeping up? well, maybe even "leaping" up.

Last Wednesday, I was at 244.0, today, I?m at 247.0?

I?ve been lifting like an animal, eating clean, and...

What's up Matt? why not be 100% tomorrow?

Good Call... How did you know? it's like you had x-ray vision into my kitchen.

I guess my body was needing the fat - I've since upped my calories by about 400/day with some Natural PB...., which...

By all means, you're invited, and perhaps more importantly:

I challenge you to join....

But then again - maybe you're happy in "260 Land". (friendly sarcastic jab)

I however was not happy...

Right now, I'm using EAS Premium Protein (3 stage extended release protein blend) which includes Casein, Soy, Whey blend. It's a pretty low carb blend - and it mixes pretty well, tastes fair.

Monster - We'll see how it plays out.... at a 2k cal deficit, I aim to lose about 4lbs fat / week. I'm keeping track of my lean body mass, and with protein high, judicious use of aminos during...

Braddd, you might consider adding a bit more protein, a simple whey and or blend protein. For those days when you are running late to work, having a protein shake on hand will help a bunch. Super...

Howdy Matt & others on the thread....

Today I weighed in @244.0 lbs (7 official days after I started),
That's 4.8 lbs down.

Here's my diet outline:
AM workout: about 45 min. weights, and...

I think you can do both types of cardio: Alternating between High Intensity Interval Training, and Steady State moderate cardio.

Last year I trained with Michael Elias, he's a natural pro...

howdy...- I will post pics, but I have to get a new card-reader for this new computer.
