Newbie fresh from the joint

[lightitup]

I just wanted to start off by saying i think this forum is awesome has really good information that i could not find else where, and your guys knowledge is very valuable to me. My story starts like this in 2010 I got sent to prison and have just recently been released, i have really not worked out but before i went in i was around 135pounds, when i got out i was 155 and currently around 163. My issues i am having is the amount that i eat it seems to be hitting my gut more then any where else. I was taught in the joint that pasta is your friend so stocking up on carbs to me isn't a issue, but it is back firing. I have gained to much on my belly to consider taking gear right now, but if i throw in to much HIIT or carido i will loose it all fast but also in my face and legs, so i will look like a thin stick again. When i went in i was in good shape but when i got out i put on some better size and it is hard to hold, i have issues with getting to full and over bloated right now. To the point i feel like throwing up, working out is not a problem i love the GYM.

Currently in the morning i eat 4 eggs and cup oatmeal plus cottage cheese second meal i drink a shake 3rd meal i eat chicken legs or breast with some rice and veggies 4th meal i eat mackerel or tuna with crackers, 5th i take my pre work out shake 6th is where i get really bloated after the gym if i eat big meal and down a shake I'm done .... so i skip it some times and eat really late at night which i know i shouldn't, since I'm not putting in cardio right now it seems like I'm bulking up but to much is going to the gut, what can i do ??

I was also coached in the joint on how to work out with some guys and they schooled me on the gear, the do's and don'ts and so i think right now with this fat i don't want to start until i get some what lean again but scared i will loose most of my size is there a safe way to cut it down and not loose my gains?? and is there any good work outs that i can do that will keep my strength where it is at before i try the gear ?? I have not made this thread to start a trolling debate just need some advise from some good people

first pic is in 2010 rest are current pics

Welcome to the forum. Of course gaining weight in the joint is probably a benefit. But carbs make you feel full, but are not good when trying to build muscle. You need to change more food from carbs to protien. This will help you pack on muscle more than carbs. I used to live in Japan, and the sumo wrestlers would eat a ton of carbs and take a nap to pack on pounds, but like you mentioned it is not to build muscle. Carbs are great in that they make you feel full for a longer period of time than protien. If you eat a lot of meat without cabs you will be hungry again soon. But protien is what you need to pack on the kind of mass you are looking for. Good luck and check out the diet section. You will get a lot more information that is relevant but I just wanted to offer some basic info to get you started. Good luck and congrats on your freedom. That has to feel great!

Thanks bro, I'm gonna browse thru the diet section today and your right, when we would strength train in there, they would tell us to eat carbs and sleep and you would be surprised how fast you put on weight ...but want to eat clean now no processed fish and pasta
