lol, no. I was only trying to learn about losing weight and where it is lost first/last. Just got Curious, as I am planning on getting big, and packing some fat is almost inevitable if you want to get big fast, hopefully not too much…
oh ok, my bad HAHAHA…

Can you post what a typical day is like? The more specific, the better the advice that can be given.
When bulking your supposed to cut out all types of cardio that would be detrimental to your growth.
So Id lift/do more compound type lifting an stop rock climbing. If anything do 5-10 min of LIGHT cardio.
You could try a weight gainer in the morning, those easily pack anywhere from 1000-1100 calories alone and you could add bananas or pb to them. That way you can supplement the rest of your calories and macros throught the day easier.
Man, the weight gainer I have packs 1100 in 4 scoops. I just take 3. I am worried that my body simply cant digest and use that much calories in one sitting, so it will just go to waste/fat. What do you think about that? and why morning specifically? Is it because you are very low in energy reserves from sleep?
You probably will pack on fat with a weight gainer.
I got a problem when I run. When I run for 1-2 minutes, my ankles, feet, and knees start to hurt. The ankles and feet hurt the most while the knees hurt a little. It pisses me off because I know I can run longer. I stock shelves for my job and I’m constantly walking or standing 8 hours a day(I get 1 hour break though) and I’m wondering if that’s a factor.
I’m 5"10, 155-158 lbs. I run 3-4 times a week on cement.
Fats are your friend.
Add peanut butter, almond butter, sunflower seed butter (trader joes has an AWESOME one), and the like to everything.
Grind up a cup of oats, some protein powder, and a coupld tbsp of peanut butter, and thin it out with water as much as you need to get it down, and it will be over 1,000 calories. Do that once a day, you shouldn’t have trouble getting in another 2,000 calories with “regular” meals.
Also, if you have sandwiches, add in some avocado, as they add some easy extra calories, healthy fats, and taste delicious.
Also, eat 3 whole eggs, and 3 egg whites for breakfast every day. Has been some recent studies showing the cholesterol in them helps add on lean mass.
I was telling my friends about some pain that was coming from running.
A good friend of mine said we should try running on sand at the beach.
Hands down, immediately I felt better.
The only downside is that I like to just leave the house and boom, go straight into running.
Why run if it causes you pain? Why not use an eliptical, or better yet, do some HIIT on a heavy bag.
Avoid running on cement/concrete as much as possible! That shit kills your knees. Find a nearby track and I guarantee you your pain will go away. If you HAVE to run on a hard surface, get a good pair of running shoes. You’ll only cheat your body in the future if you don’t invest in some.
I box regularly and run 5 days a week. I used to have similar problems with sore knees and shin splints. After I bought myself a pair of Mizunos (sp?) and ran on a track, I haven’t had the problem since.
Unfortunately the closest track is 20-30 min walk from my house. I guess I gotta make that sacrifice. I currently own a pair of Nike Air Equalon.
I do some boxing myself. I’ll ask you some stuff through PM.
Deadlift > squats > bench
That’s interesting, Green.
Saw some things on TV. Apparently, dried prawns are a good snack 'cause it’s loaded with proteins?
Something’s wrong with eating seafood all the time right? (Aside from the money.)
I was thinking, what about eating peanut butter all the time?
(Bread expires too fast, so the plan is peanut buttter on plain crackers.)
I pick up miltons multigrain from trader joes, if you keep it in the fridge, it can last at least 2.5 weeks…not long enough? Throw it in the freezer, will last a while, keeps it’s texture pretty well.
Not sure about dried prawns. Only downside with seafood is the mercury level in them, just find a site that lists the levels, and you should be fine. Other downside is shrimp are high in cholesterol…food cholesterol levels effect on cholesterol in your body is still being debated.
I heard about the cholesterol one. Mercury? Shit, I was hoping that was tuna only.
Any idea on the peanut butter?
As long as you have no peanut allergies, and it fits your daily calorie macros, you should be fine.
Just make sure it’s “natural” peanut butter, other stuff, jiffy, etc, has trans fats in them to keep them solid. Any that the oil separates in the jar, is usually natural.
Feel free to sub in other nut butters though to change things up. Almond, sunflower seed, etc, all healthy fats, and good sources of calories.
Try Smart Balance Omega Peanut Butter…with omega-3’s from flax oil, no trans-fats, and no messy super-separated peanut oil.
does the purity of the omega3 make a difference? i have access to purest omega3 supplement on the market which is fucking expensive and prescription only. will i be better off getting cheap GNC or healthfood type fish oils?
