S7nny Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I guess time will tell! So my offer still stands! Always happy to give out advice or guidance relating to fitness and nutrition (: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogman Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Do you rate protein powders? I never found it a problem getting 220-300g a day. Powders taste like ass icicles. Well with family being veggie I have to use powders at home. I've tried a variety of brands and have to say that USN, PhD and Optimum Nutrition are great Supplements are a must for us veggies! I kept training to begin with and was just getting smaller, my muscles were just eating themselves away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogman Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I train 5-6 days a week depending on work hours and eat like a horse that's stoned off its tits. :lol: :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well with family being veggie I have to use powders at home. I've tried a variety of brands and have to say that USN, PhD and Optimum Nutrition are great Supplements are a must for us veggies! I kept training to begin with and was just getting smaller, my muscles were just eating themselves away! I used to be veggie my whole life (not even eggs) until the age of 18 when I got to uni. My decision to start eating meat (only chicken and fish) was purely based on muscle growth. A few times I've resorted back to being veggie for a month here or there with no "want" to eat meat so I know I can revert back quite easily. But I did find that it made a MASSIVE difference in my training and I made some serious gains. Nutrition is MUST when weight training. I hate seeing people in my gym who come in day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year and they look exactly the same! Some group of guys just spend every session on the cables, use poor form, and when you try to give some genuine tips they think they know better! I used to be that kid in the gym, but I listened to lots of different people and trial and error'd to see what worked best for me. And now I'm 6 days out from facing the biggest fitness challenge of my life and I cannot wait!! Couple of shots from this morning post HIIT and abs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT350 Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) I never give advice at the gym even if I'm absolutely dying to and the guys just doing something wild. Usually barbel curls where they're really swinging it and their elbows are going backwards and forwards and they're doing most of the lifting with their front delts and their back is bending like 30 degrees. Then they plop that 30kg bar down and go "woooooooahhhhh I can feel that" I do feel like saying "right now pick up the 10kg bar, keep your elbows and back perfectly still, parallel with your body and lift with BICEP CONTRACTION!!" They look at you like you're wild. Edited September 7, 2015 by TT350 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point during my prep I was struggling on 6kg & 7kg dumbells on bicep curls! But the pump was awesome!

TT350 Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 I've never actually done this particular exercise. I will be giving it a go soon though. Good stretch on the chest I imagine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they plop that 30kg bar down and go "woooooooahhhhh I can feel that" Funniest thing I ever saw at the gym when I used to not train at home, was these 3 lads doing bench press. One guy was laying there on the bench struggling to push up 100lb barbell. His mate was standing over top of him, pulling the barbell up like he was doing rows. And 3rd guy was standing to one side screaming "come on john, you can do it....". Me & my mate just stopped our workout and watched in amazement. It was touch & go at one point as matey doing the row was struggling to lift it and the guy on the bench was struggling to get the weight up. Eventually after nearly killing the poor guy lying on the bench, they managed to get the barbell in the rack safely, before lots of back slapping & praising. Then, do our amazement, they loaded another 20lb to the bar and off they went again..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a guy doing similar today in the gym, deadlifting 130kg inc barbell, literally grunting so loud everyone was looking, no form what so ever, 2 mates cheering him on, 1 poor attempt at a rep and nearly fell arse over tit when he put it back down however they still continued to tell him that it was 'sick' that he could deadlift it.. i mean cmon i wouldnt have even counted it as 1 rep lol. On the other hand, upped my weights again today! Normally bench press starts inc Bar: 60kg warm up 10 reps 80kg x 10 90kg x 10 100kg x 10 110kg x 8 120 normally get about 2-3 out of it but today managed to warm up from 80, then get 8 reps out of 120kg!! was so chuffed and 1 rep max on bench is now 144kg too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been having things like feasters burger pattys (sell them in 8's without buns at asda) and organic eggs for breakfast. Circa 40g protein and about 2g carbs. Rest of day, chicken breast, rump steak, pork chops. Still sticking to 2000cal a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
