My advice

ad

I just have a little advice for those who need it. Although I might not follow the "bodybuilding guidelines", I seem to do okay. First and foremost if your trying to get big and reek havoc at the gym, you better change your mentality up. When you go to the gym, you better not be thinking about how p.e or yesterdays workout was hard. You need to be thinking about how your going to tear every weight apart at that gym. If it's just one of those days where you don't feel it, snap out of it, it's all in your head.

Now here are some guidelines I follow
1.) Find your juice (Pre-workout, or energy drink). Whatever gives you that extra kick! If you don't take pre-workouts good for you!
2.)Pick the body group that your going to train for that day. (different muscle group each day)
3.)Don't forget to get your blood flowing. If you go to a fairly nice gym, hit the sauna up in your sweats or whatever you might be wearing and do some jumping jacks. Or just get a game of basketball in!
4.)Stretch
5.)Now here comes the lifting. Personally I follow a percentage chart. Recently I lost mine so I just do 4x3 or 5x5 set/repetition cycle. (Heavy) When I say heavy, I mean HEAVY! You honestly should be struggling to finish every set. (Spotter recommended) Also make sure you master technique.
6.) Sleep is so important, so try and work out earlier in the day. Your testosterone is highest in the morning. Also the later you workout the more your likely to be restless at night time.

As for your meal plan
Canned veggies. Tomato soup, green beans, corn
Fruit
Chicken, or Steak
Vitamins
Water
Eat almost every hr 1/2 or 2 hrs.. Skip out on the snacks

( Right now, I am on a vegan diet )

Thanks... but "no thanks" bro.... I appreciate your post but it wont work for me

Im a little bit.. shall we say.. Fine Tuned these days and that diet would probably explode my fkn heart lol

ANYTHING.. processed is like the the devil to a true bodybuilder,and sodium used incorrectly is HELL itself.

morning is highest then it gradually decreases and is at lowest at night. Sleep replenishes test levels.

Test levels are highest first thing in the morning and gradually tail off during the day.

It's the opposite actually. But now I'm interested in where you got this info

Darktide's picture

Yeah my Endo TRT doctor said the levels are highest from awaking and then they wain down as the day goes on.

"Canned veggies. Tomato soup, green beans, corn"

ANYTHING canned, .....veggies, meat.... yields tons of sodium

Fresh or Frozen bitchezzzzz!!!

And by wisdom, you mean "You old bastard", ...right LoLoLO

For your veggies I'd go for fresh before frozen; frozen before canned.
Some (not much) nutrients are lost when canning or freezing food. Not to mention taste.

Nitti's picture

If I followed this advice i'd be a zombie all day. There is no cookie cutter approach.

You do not need to lift heavy to be a bodybuilder, heavy enough, but not "HEAVY" like you say. That's a great way to get injured that's all.

And where are the carbs in your diet???

Engineereddisaster's picture

Vegan? I'd neg 1 your ass on that I'd I could. Come on bro force yourself to eat 30 chickens a day like the rest of us. Or in Nitti's case, force yourself to eat 30 Big Macs a day. Smile

....and the rivalry continues. LOL!

Engineereddisaster's picture

Lol, I'll +1 your ass in that case.

:).

Greg's picture

Well at least that would be 1 big mac for every half hour during the waking hours of the day.
So at least Nitti is following the, "eat every 1/2 hour" advice.

Nitti's picture

Tell em Greg! Gotta keep the metabolism active and burning up shit

Nitti's picture

No No No, I only channel the inner fat kid in the morning at Mcdonalds. The rest of the day I still eat whatever I want and look like iv'e been running a cal deficient cut cycle. Jelly? Don't hate Ed! You have the funny thing on your side. The girls love it.

Engineereddisaster's picture

You bet your ass I'm jelly. Smile
Hell, I'd eat the peanuts out of a shit right now if I knew I'd make weight. Smile
