Backpacking the Appalachian Trail some advise ??

[Armykid93]

you're putting way too much emphasis on lifting, it seems like. If you want to hike the Appalachian trail, hike the dam thing and don't worry about packing needles or "uncommon sources of protein" Also, since it seems you're getting bored of lifting, cut down the magnitude. You don't really need to worry about diet unless you're going to become a national competitor. Just overall, make high protein choices and somewhat monitor your calorie intake by feel. All you need to do for great results is hit the gym about 5x a week. 45 minutes each day. Really that's barely more than 3 hours a week. If you life is really eat, prep, go to they gym, do cardio, lift.... you really need a change, buddy. find some other hobbies

And the academy award for best advice ever goes to........^^^^^ I have no idea why so many people stress the small stuff when it comes to this stuff and then you find out they have no intention of competing. I pretty much tell people exactly this, nearly word for word, when they ask for diet advice. I give them the advice of course but I always follow up with something like this. Training is supposed to reduce stress. Not increase it.

Your so wise and mature at the ripe old age of 22 I am sure people are asking you far advise all the time ! ! it is so sad that more members don't listen to you , lol ! Army brat 93 why don't you show what you have accomplished in 3 yrs of lifting and if you look worthy to give advise maybe , just maybe some one would listen to you !
