bdwvdc posted:Looking at my original post, my progress seems to be stagnating for the beginning three months. Any thoughts to accelerate my progress? Add more cardio or try ephedrine with caffeine. You are trying to lose weight while gaining strength which is pretty tough. If you want to meet your toxx, consider getting down your body fat down to visible abs and then work on strength. EDIT: Also way too much protein powder. Holy poo poo. You should have two scoops of protein powder max per day, keep in mind whey protein gets digested really quickly. Pick up some casein protein this is a slow release protein, take whey protein after lifting and casein for your other shake(s).

Excess protein is turned into glucose by the body. Please sir, enlighten me, how am I dumb?

Well yeah, some of it will get converted. But that wasn't really my point. There's nothing wrong with having more than two scoops of protein in a day. It's not like his body is going to say "oops, this is the third scoop, i'm not going to absorb this". It's just a convenient source of protein for someone who obviously likes a simple/routine diet. I don't see how adding casein or meat instead would help his situation. If he wants to go for abs more quickly, he can eat less, and if he wants gains in the gym, he can eat more. Switching protein sources isn't going to make a tangible difference in either of those goals.

I agree with that completely. My diet now is to accomplish both gains in the gym while losing my insidious belly fat. It's slow, but I'm seeing real progress.

If he eats solid protein sources they will digest slower and his body will have more essential nutrients that are not contained in (hurp-durp) 4 scoops of whey powder. Slower digestion will cause him to feel fuller for longer, and more vitamins and minerals will make him feel better and perform better in general. His diet in general is what is holding him back, but I should have pointed out how poor his carbohydrate sources are first before nitpicking on the whey protein. bdwvdc, are you having one giant whey protein shake, or is it a one protein shake per meal plan?

I usually have two cups of two scoops after a workout, or before dinner.

It's really hard to be deficient in any vitamin if you're eating any amount of vegetables and meat. Especially if you're taking a multi. Protein digestion will be slowed by anything else that is hanging out in his digestive tract, so unless he's pounding back whey on an empty stomach, it's not going to matter, and even if he was, the difference would be negligible. What does poor carb source even mean in your context? Yeah, bagels are refined and high GI, but the GI will be lowered if he's eating them with any source of fat and protein. If bdwvdc isn't gluten intolerant, it won't change his performance or how he feels. With the exception of fructose and galactose, the carbs he's eating will all end up as glucose and be metabolized similarly. As far as I can tell, bdwvdc isn't complaining about being hungry, so having marginally slower digestion wouldn't help him there either. I don't know why you think switching from bread to rice while keeping macronutrients the same is going to help bdwvdc get stronger or leaner.

This time I only had 50 pounds on the bar. I was still very tipsy when I removed the bar from the stand. It was like balancing the bar on one point on my back, instead of two like normal. I felt uneasy so I put the bar back on the rack.

Is there anyone at the gym who can spot you like the guy in this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz9Xsv4PACQ (Drinking a beer at the bottom of the squat might help too)

After doing my regular workout, I asked this guy if he would spot me doing squats. He said that it would be very difficult for me to do them without use of my right upper body strength. He did spot me, but it was very awkward, and I couldn't do it properly.

It's been over four months. My abs aren't progressing as I would have hoped. Tomorrow, most likely, I'll reduce my calories per day by 500. May 7, 2012

A New Hope Muscle Gain - 155 lb male 14 x 155 lbs = 2170 - Fish Oil Calories = 5 x 15 = 75 2095 = 2100 Daily Calories (Round to the nearest 50 increment) 2100 x 50% (Protein Ratio) = 1050 Protein Calories Divided by 4 (4 calories equals 1 gram of protein) ~262g of protein a day 2100 x 25% (Carb Ratio) = 525 Carb Calories Divided by 4 (4 calories equals 1 gram of carbohydrate) ~130g of carb a day 2100 x 25% (Fat Ratio) = 525 Fat Calories Divided by 9 (9 calories equals 1 gram of fat) ~58g of fat a day. So daily I want to eat 2100 Daily Calories, that have 262g of Protein, 130g of Carbs, and 58g of Fat. bdwvdc fucked around with this message at May 7, 2012 around 17:44 |
