That's it.

Anyway, what do you recommend for a person who is trying to bulk (cardio). I see your weight routine, very impressive and much thanks for spending your time to share it with us

2x20 minutes is alright right now and 3 was too much and especially day before hitting my legs......my squat was 45 lbs down.......way too much to even be satisfied by anyother exercice after!

I am on just entering my second week of a bulking AAS cycle, and I know I shouldn't expect anything this soon, but I am not really putting on that much weight, so I will cut down my cardio til no more than 3 times a week and no more than 30 minutes to see how this works out.
I was doing cardio every other day and weights every other day, with a day or two off per week (usually only one). I see in both your's and chest's workout routine you both take at least two days off.........
Recovery is very important, huh??

I'll check on the sticky and credit the author....

Thanks to both of you guys for sharing your experiences with me

I guess because I have been working out for about 5 years (solid that is). I am almost 36 years old and thought I would give it a shot (no pun intended)

Well fair enough. I just think you should learn to crawl before you walk. As in...diet properly, train properly, rest properly for 2-3 years NATURALLY before you turn to aas. Seems to me like you are still learning the ropes with these questions..

Diet has been mostly on my own. I have just tried various ideas on what to eat. About 3 years ago is when I found out that I had to eat more than 4 times a day. But only recently have I discovered that (according to another sticky which has this cool little formula) my body needs over 3400 calories a day in order to bulk (as much as 3600), but no less than 3400. I need 79 grams of fat, 316 grams of both protein and carbs.
I ask alot of questions because I mainly want to find out what others like you do. (Those of you who have spent alot of time in the research dept. of training and dieting).
On top of that, I felt that I have reached a plateau and wish to change it.
Hey, I'm off to the gym for some chest and back. Thanks for the comments.

No problem. Not trying to get you down at all, just trying to help. I actually think you need much more than what you listed macro wise. Shoot for 400g protein...500-600g carbs and 100g fat. THEN..you will see true muscle growth (even naturally).

Great Leg workout. lets see some pics of those hugh legs.
-
06-18-2006, 01:03 PM #220
I hate my legs now. They have lost some size since I was bulking..and they arent cut up. Basically if I were to show them..I'd want them to be one way or the other. I'll throw some up when I get back close to 30"

I guess a good idea would be to try and find someone around my age who closely matches my stats and ask him what he does......

Which is fine with me.......I do want to gain, and I understand that some fat gain is inevitible.......I just used to be a real fatty. It just scares me cause I can get used to eating reeeeeeal fast......WHAT YOU PROPOSE IS ALOT OF GRUB......LOL, but I can eat all day long everyday if need be.

What I like to do is eat around 2-2.25g protein per lb of bodyweight and 2.5-3g of carbs per lb of bodyweight. Some ppl may say thats too much..but I like to take advantage of bulking. I did 2.5g protein and 2.5-3g carb and .5g for fat all per lb of bodyweight last time and I didnt gain much fat, and, like I stated earlier, I virtually did 0 cardio. Either way..personal trial and error.

cardio 45 mins
1. 1 carton pasteurized eggwhites
1 cup oats
53g protein/27g carb/3g fat
2. 1 chicken breast
1 cup brown rice
46g protein/34g carb/3g fat
3. 1 chicken breast
1 medium sweet potato
47g protein/42g carb/4g fat
4. 50g whey isolate
1/2 cup oats (Preworkout)
55g protein/27g carb/3g fat
5. PWO 40g whey isolate
80g dextrose
40g protein/80g carb/0g fat
(PWO cardio 15-25mins)
6. PPWO 1 chicken breast
1 medium sweet potato or 1 cup brown rice
1.5 cups broccoli
48g protein/ (42/33)g carb/3g fat
7. 6 oz tuna 1/2 tbspn mayo
33g protein/0g carb/7g fat
8. 40g whey isolate
1 tbspn flax
40g protein/0g carb/14g fat
362g protein/252g carb/37g fat
2789 calories. Seems a lil high. I sometimes have less than this though. Sometimes I wont get around to the last meal of the day..
It is really hard for me to get anywhere near relatively lean. I have tried and tried and I can't seem to get under 12% bodyfat....ever. I have even been doing 45min AM cardio and 15-25 min PWO cardio for the last 3 weeks with clen and I still don't really look any better..Last edited by chest6; 06-23-2006 at 08:57 PM.

Can you edit the post and throw some macros in there, and also give me some current stats. Also, has your weight moved at all?
You do realize that your weight will move a couple pounds and then it will more than likely plateau after 1-4 wks, in which case, you have to re-adjust the diet and make some changes. I LIke to set a baseline for my protein and fats and keep those the same throughout my whole diet, and manipulate carbs from there whether it just be lowering them steadily or cycling them, or lowering them to a certain point and then start cycling them.
We will get you worked out....think about how many guys around the US do competitions every year...ALOT....and ALOT of them get peeled. If they can do it...so can you. Quit telling yourself it is impossible, b/c it is most definately not. I thought the same thing until I got with my prep guy, then I was like WOW, and I also learned tons and realized I didnt know half of what I thought I did. I could lose weight and get pretty lean, but not super lean...and the main thing was I definately was not able to do it myself without losing strength and muscle.Last edited by spound; 06-23-2006 at 08:32 PM.
