Hi, before i give you a plan of action for your goal, im going to need some info, such as; what type of training regiment your on, how much cardio( if any) do you do per day and how long, give me a break down on your total protein/cab/fat intake per day in grams, the diet that you were on was fine for that specific goal, but now that your looking to build/shape/tone your body, you will need the appropriate regiment to maximize your goal, "its not one fit all training/nutritional method, every goal needs its own customized plan to the individual needs... eating/utilizing the right foods at the right times is also a factor ...talk to you soon..

Hi, start next monday with 40 minutes session of cardio 6 days a week, increase your protein an other 20 grams(you should be up to at least 250 grams of protein)...... question?; are you still cycling your carb intake? if not, then drop your carbs down to 120( eat most of your carbs before and after weight training)....

Good morning Joe,
Big thanks on the reply brother, my names Joel so I get called Joe as well lol. As far as training, I hit the gym 4 times a week(weight training) and I train as heavy as I can moderate to high reps. Cardio I don't do much nowadays but I started doing about 15 minutes of the stairmaster machine after my workout twice a week. I don't keep track of the diet in that I don't have the grams calculated I weigh my meats Mon-Fri religiously tho, and a typical day for me would consist of egg white omelet/scramble with maybe some vienna sausages/turkey slices at around 9/10, lunch at around 1 would be 10oz meat(red meat/turkey burgers/chicken/etc) and a cup of brown rice or some veggies, at like 3 I'll have a protein bar/shake, I train after work and it'll be from like 5-6:30 and then I'll eat at like 7 or so (10oz meat/turkey/chicken/etc) and maybe a sweet potato/veggies. Hope to hear back from you soon and thanks again.

Hi Joel, one of the main reasons why people do not make any gains(or continue making gains) is they do not eat the appropriately or ** not eating the right amount/necessary macros to continue making progress,..... counting carbs, protein and fat is easy to do, foods that are packaged will actually break it down for you, and the other food(such as meats and vegetable) can easily be looked up on the internet food/macros scales, you dont have to be accurate but by having a good idea what your base line is at, i can create a regiment(training/cardio/nutritional amount) specifically designed for your needs....Also, keep in mind, the most important time to eat protein and carbs is before your weight training regiment and after..pre and post...from what i can tell so for is that your not doing enough cardio to get lean, and your not capitalizing on your carbs and protein to be used for the appropriate times to make muscle and strength gains...
Im here when your ready

So today I had (roughly) or at least what I calculated I don't doubt I'm off : 1820 CALORIES, 173g PROTEIN, 113g CARBS, 46g fat. Don't know how off those numbers are tho...
That's based off 3 egg omelet w some turkey slices in the morning
1 cup brown rice with 10 oz ground beef for lunch
a protein bar
sweet potato w 10 oz chicken.
I appreciate the help...Last edited by wheredarocksat; 04-14-2014 at 07:48 PM. Reason: missing info

OK - You got it! FYI - I stopped cycling carbs about 4 weeks ago, right after you replied to my first message.
Two questions
1 - I work out early in the morning ~4:30. Shoud I continue to WO in a fasted state (just some BCAA) or have some slow acting (or fast acting due to the limited time the can be absord) before heading to the gym.
2 - What do you recommend for rest time between reps and how much does it really matter?
Thanks Again

Update
Hi Joe,
It's already been two weeks and just wanted to update you on how I look now. Here it is:
I dropped down to 129 lbs from 132 lbs from 2 weeks ago. I have to keep going and stay consistent with leaning out. However, I find that the biggest challenge sometimes is not getting enough sleep. What would you recommend on how I can do during those times that would otherwise get me off track?
So far right now, I'm doing 35-40 mins of interval cardio as you have recommended and do strength training 6x a week. Been staying on-course when it comes to diet.
Here’s my current daily macros:
Carbs: 120g
Protein: 150g
Fats: 96g
————————————–
Currently at this time, my supplement stack includes:
Infinite Labs 100% Isolate Whey
Infinite Final Cutz
Infinite Force
Juggernaut HP Orange
Infinite’s Women’s Multi
Please advise.
Thanks,
JanLast edited by lilmzchief; 04-15-2014 at 02:01 PM.

OK, lets try this for a few weeks to see how your body responds,
Food regiment; try to eat at least 35 grams of protein per meal, spread them out into 5 meals a day,
1)The egg with the turkey is fine for now as your breakfast..
2)Have a protein shake/protein bar or a protein meal with some vegetable as your second meal(be cautions with your carbs, keep them to a minimum..)
3)Eat the brown rice with some protein before going to weight training..
4)Eat a fast burning carb(such as white rice with protein) right after weight training.
5)As your last meal, add a protein shake(no carbs)...
NOTE; eat Most of your carbs before and after training( *at least 50grams before and 50 grams after training), eat the rest of the carbs(ruffly about 20 grams left) during the day time, do not eat any carbs before going to bed,
Training regiment;
keep using different types and styles/methods on training, such as; high reps, low heavy reps, super sets, jumbo sets, drop sets, forced reps and so on, keep the muscles guessing, keep shocking them, most of all; always use proper form....
Cardio; for now; start out with a half hr of cardio 6 days a week, right after weight training if possible,
Let see how your body respond and the we will need to modify it and adjusted it to your specific needs...
* If possible, take 2 photos( front and back shot) of your self before you start this regiment, this will help us see the changes when we compare them in a few weeks, it will also help me with adjusting the appropriate macros/cardio to your needs

Good job....
Question;
* how long does it take for you to finish up your work out,( we might need to reevaluate your weight training regiments, you might be doing too many sets that i was not aware of, i will contact you on this just to make sure)
* how many hours to you get to sleep at night time
Changes; increase your cardio up to an Hour now, you can split it up, half in the morning and the second half right after training...
* your fats need to be lowered,
* implement the intervals on all cardio sessions...

Yes I am working out on an empty stomach (last meal was dinner the night before which is with very limited carbs - just veggies). Should I have something like potatoes, banana or something like oatmeal, brown rice before the gym in the morning. Also if you can give me some guidance on how much carbs and how much before my WO should I take them?
Thanks

I will definitely give it a try Joe and thanks for the input, quick question thought. At times I can't eat a meal before training due to being in school so I have no way of heating up some rice/meat so that's where I use to protein bar etc. What should I do in those cases ? I will get some pics up also, thank you again Joe.

Hey Joe,
I have a question about "Heavy Days" and "Light Days", I guess is what you would call them. Anyway, I have seen where Bodybuilders will pick days where they lift as heavy as possible, and keep low reps, and other days they will lift light weight and hit high reps. My questions is how often are you supposed to do this, example, are you supposed to lift heavy all days, or do you do a "Light Day" once a week? Do you rotate weeks, where one week it's all "Heavy Days" and then the next week all "Light Days"?
Also, what do you consider are the benefits of these days?
By the way, I never did get any Infinite Labs Posters, I guess everyone it too busy! Thanks anyway!ERIC WHITEHEAD

Hi, weight training on an empty stomach is like running a car on no gas, your body needs carbs and protein to get you throw your work out, replenishing your body with nutrients is a key component receiving best results, when your body needs to recover/rebuild from weight training, if the nutrients are not present to replenish/rebuild it self, it will attack your own hard earned muscles to compensate for it , muscle are made of amino,(amino's are the building block) basically your cannibalizing your own muscles...The most important time for protein and carbs is before and after weight training....go back to my prior answer to your post and see the break down that i had mentioned...any problem/questions, get back to me...

Hi, we all start out the same way, never be afraid of showing what you have, use that energy to improve your self, every time i want to improve, i feed off of the present condition that im in, it motivates me to be better........stick to the program for a few weeks and then we will re adjust the training/food regiment to the next level......

Hi Eric, when it comes to bodybuilding/building muscles type of training there is no one specific method other then constant changing this up to shock and stimulate the muscles fibers, so you can go heavy one day, light the next day, drop sets, super sets and so on, again, the idea is to "put stress load and shock" the muscle so that they dont get stale or adapt to the training.....Most pro athlete do something different every time they step into the gym.....So go with how you feel for the day or week* as long as you stimulate/stress the fibers to be regenerated.....

Joe, you had told me the no carbs before bed, what if I work, go to school, then after I train to go home and eat shower and hit the sack. I eat b4 training and I know post workout carbs are important but I basically go to bed within an hour or so after that. Should I do just protein since its b4 bed or do you advise to get carbs in anyway ?
I appreciate all your feedback, been trying what you've told me and I feel its on the right path.....
