Jamyjamjr and Eatrainrest PLEASE HELP
I would like to use this forum to improve my diet and my workout. After reading many posts on this forum I noticed that the recommendations of Jamyjamjr and Eatrainrest make the most sense and are very respected.
Jamyjamjr and Eatrainrest please critique my diet and my workout.
My stats:
Age: 26
Height: 6 ft
Weight: 198 lb
BF: around 15%
BMR: 1,900
Based on the text below, please advice me on the activity multiplier.
My work out:
Monday: chest and triceps
Tuesday: shoulders and biceps
Wednesday: Back and calf
Tuesday: legs
Friday: Monday’s workout
I rotate the work out every week.
From Monday till Friday I run for hour. No eating before and keeping HR low (max 65 - 70%)
Every day I do abs for 20 – 30 minutes.
For each body part I do 4 exercises of 4 sets (10-8-6-8) with increased weights after each set. I do the last set till total failure. For back I do 5 sets.
Saturday: mountain biking (5 – 8 hours trips) with low and high intensity
Sunday: day off
Diet:
(NF: Energy - kjl, Protein - g, Carbs - g, Fat - g)
6:00 – before running
Water with multivitamin

there are alot of meals and i got thrown off but the workouts deff need help. also stick to this kind of format 40/40/20% diet 20 being fats. you want startchy complex carbs PRE WORKOUT, and then IMMEDIATE pwo you want whey with a semi simple carb like plain bagel, waxy maize startch etc. than 1.5 hours after your INITIAL PWO NUTRITION, you want to have liek 1 cup brown rice with veggie and lean protein as a REFEED PWO MEAL. every meal after this includes no complex carbs, just leafy greens and EFA's and of course lean protein sources. hope it helps

my comments in bold.. check your macros bro.. if you know this;
1g protien 4cal
1g carbs 4cal
1g fat 9cal
u can see, based upon the macros u gave me, that your calories for many of your meals are wrong.. fix the issue.. get your tdee calculated.. i told u to go by 1.65 imo...
i'll be waiting..

Thank you both for replies.
I will change the diet and workout accrodingly.
Workout:
I used to do one body part a day but then after consulation with my friend who is old school bodybuilder, I change me workout. I will cahnge it back (as I liked it more)
I only have couple questions:
1. Abs
Do you tihink that doing abs 5 times a week is too much? One trainier in my gym told me that abs recover very very fast and by doing them 5 times a week I can not overwork them. Is that wrong statement?
2. Morning Cardio
By morning Cardio, do I inhibit muscle gains? Despite the fast that I am in bulking cycle, I don't want to gain fat. This is the reason why I do cardio every morning. What should be the right frequency of monning cardio?
3. Protein shakes
In general, why are protein shakes/meal replacement powders bad?
In regards to my macros. They are right. As I am from continental Europe, I used kJ and not Kcal. (1 Kcal = 4.195kJ) Below is my diet with Kcal. Sorry for confusion.

Should I eat the same amounts in my training and nontraining days?
Jamyjamjr, I do my omnadren shots EOD. I am so far in my 6 week and latelly I can see good changes. Hopefully it will continue that way.
What can I do in order to keep gains after the cycle? Beside well prepared PCT and good diet? Will creatine help?
Thanks.

Abs do not heal any faster than any muscle. I would train them 3 times a week, like monday, wednesday, and friday. They should be trained 3 times a week with the rep range in the 15-25 area. Remember, you don't want the ab muscles to grow (unless you're trying to be a powerlifter, olympic lifter, etc.), as they will look blocky and gross. You just need to strengthen the muscle a bit and establish the motor unit recruitment to be able to give them a nice shape when flexed. However, the way your abs look (and how good they look) will be all up to genetics and bodyfat level.

They may heal faster because they are a smaller muscle group, in the same way that a bicep will heal faster than a pectoral simply because it is smaller. However, I have never seen proof of abdominal muscles being some super muscle that heals faster than any other muscle. Please support your claim with documented proof (a reliable and valid study), if it is true, I'd love to add that to my knowledge.

Documented proof, LMFAO.
I didn't know it was that serious, hahah, it sounded super-funny the way you went so far as to say "please", LMFAO.........can't stop laughing......wheeeeee heeeee..........k, down 2 biz!
From my real world experience, I can tell you that even me as a female fitness fanatic, finds that I can train my abs far more frequently than any other muscle on my body. Why is this? I am guessing because of my own recovery ability that differs among all, the fact that abdominal muscles are always "working" when we sneeze, cough, sit up, turn over in bed, get out of bed, and basically any movement in day to day life let alone direct training. I feel that my abs being a form of "support" for my back and core, that they are used to a lot of stimulation and on a constant basis. Therefore, when worked intensely in a direct manner they tend to get sore and much more than day to day stimulation, however I noticed that they also healed far quicker than any other body part
that I train/exhaust.
Studies don't account for differences in nutrition amongst each person, genetics, the actual stimulation both duration and intensity wise, etc. Studies are only good for those instances where there are basically NO VARIABLES, but in this instance it's a non-sequitor. Real world experience is far more valuable in this instance, not to mention in the majority of practices that are questioned.
I never believed there to be "ONE END-ALL" to any particular practice no matter what the actual endeavor may be. I'm a firm believer in personal practice to find out where you fall in the big scheme of things. As well, not all "studies" are credible, not in the least bit, and they are also far too rigid to adapt to the reality of variation and difference as they pertain to individuals.

It's what you learned? Ok, learned from where? Let me teach you something, the earth is flat, someone told me so. I don't need proof, I mean, I just look outside and the ground is flat.

Ok, I'll stop here. Because I don't have a 3 day certification so that I can train at a gym. I do however have a 2-Year Exercise Science degree from UCONN and have had some of the best names in the field as my professors. But hah, what was I thinking, I'm no personal trainer.

Well I dont care who posts what in any forum. I dont side with "friends," I just like to see solid advice.
And I will tell you all one thing. Abs DO NOT have the ability to heal faster than other muscle groups. Your musculature is at work around the clock, thats why we have muscles, not for weight lifting...for movement. So whoever said abs are used more so they can take more and heal faster... ABSOLUTELY FALSE. You use all of your muscles, even if not to the same mechanical degree, than for proprioception, which still makes it active and required by the body.
I guarantee any of you if you trained abs with higher weight and HIT style same as you trained your other muscles you would get the same fibre damage. Sure if you do situps and leg raises they may heal fast...than you can conversely say for chest if you just do pushups IT too will heal faster.
Its all about muscle fibre recruitment and overloading the muscle...most people dont do this with abs.
And by they way, I have more degrees than all of you LMAO.

I guess this is a case of everyone agreeing to disagree.
Best advice/course of action is to stick to what works for YOU as an individual, that's what I do and it works impeccably. So, train abs with whatever method is most effective for YOU. For me that's what I do as outlined above.

i think the miscommunication lies in the fact that it's soo damn hard to rip the muscle fiber in your abs cuz you use your abs soo much...j
if that weren't the case, why would we be doing abs 3 times a week?? u would work it out hard once a week like everything else in a five day split...
ponder......

Always have, always will.
It leads to being walking/living proof of beliefs held within.
