Chinkecheese's Log

A little about me:
22 Years old, generally a very happy person; but like alot of people here I feel like my body is holding me back. I've been working on and off since 2004, and its something that unmotivates me everytime I go to the gym. The fact that I've worked out so long, and have had such poor discipline to continue it. After doing rippetoes for a 2-3 weeks and seeing improvements I now see what I did wrong all those years - in a nutshell, I was stupid.
But of course, 'something happened' and i ceased my workout regiment.

Nothing about myself feels emotionally different right now than it has the last several dozen 'Restarts' in my workout regiment. For all I know, this could very well be another one of them. But it won't be. I'm tired of doing this bull****.

I know that if I do the same things over and over, I'm going to get the same results. So this time, I'm doing it a bit different, and I'm going to do my best to stay motivated and reach beyond my goals.

I'm going to post in here EVERYDAY, and I'm going to up my lifting weight EVERY week by 5lbs.

I'm going to follow this regiment for two weeks,and then add one workout.

What is your height and weight by chance?

Oh hey, BBavender..This is OP,apparently Ihavetwoaccounts.

I have 22% BF 185lbs and 6'1

I guess I should be cutting, rather than bulking, eh?

Could you recommend a good macronutrient ratio?
Or should I just keep what I have and still do my workouts?

I already know what bbavender will tell you based on what he and others have told me as well. Not speaking for you though if you have other ideas Bbavender and AlwaysTryin lol.

Ratios aren't awesome to go by. Keep it simple. At least 1-1.5g per lb for Protein and .4-.5g per lb for fat. Then based on your calorie intake, the rest would be carbs.

Again, not trying to speak for them, just thought I'd help out while I was on the thread.

[bbavender]

^^^agreed.

If you want to bulk thats fine. But at 6'1" 185 you are undereating if you are trying to grow. Do you know what your maintenance is? If not, its the amount of calories you can eat where you neither gain or lose weight. You would take that number and add 500 calories to bulk, and subtract 500 if you wanted to cut. Like it was said, 1-1.5g of protein per pound of lean body mass, so for you...181 * .22 = 39.82. So 181-39.82 = 141 pounds of lean body mass. That would put your protein at 141g-212g. Then .5g of fat per pound of total mass would put you at 90g. Fill your remaining calories with whatever combination of p/c/f you wish and then lift hard.

Hey OP, just a suggestion if you plan on posting your meals in the log. Post the daily totals together, not individual posts for breakfast/lunch etc
