That looks like a very good & clean diet. The only thing I'd change is add a decent amt of carbs for right after workouts. I assume the "protein shake" after workout is only protein, but from what I've read on more than a few occasions after glycogen consuming workouts (aka workouts) you need carbs
rotein at a 2:1 ratio. Maybe you could get away with less like 1.5 or 1:1, but definitely need to have carbs after workout that's a critical time, especially if you're going for gaining muscle & mass.
Not a cookie exactly but I'm with you on the simple carbs right after and before workout. Pre-workout my latest favorite has been rice crispy treats, 57 g carbs 26 sugar, 2 protein and 8 fat. After workout I take Size-Up from met-rx and that's like 60 g protein 80 carbs + a banana.
Right after for sure, there's a window of like 15 to 45 min after your workout where your muscles are like a sponge. Even throwing in a banana with your protein (I personally love banana + chocolate) would be much better than just protein. But I prefer a shake like either Size-Up from Met-Rx or Tech X Mass from Bodytech. 4 scoops is 60 g protein / 80 or 90 g carbs but you can tweak it like 3 scoops + a scoop of just whey if you want the same protein but not so many carbs.
Yea that's what I do. I take about two girl scout cookies lol. Delicious.
I don't like to take in carbs before workout. I like to burn out the fat instead. At the moment I'm taking little to no carbs.
Haven't tried that one yet, but you can always mix and match with regular whey, fruit or whatever to make it the exact ratio you want. Most of them have only a little fat like 5 grams, but remember you can always just do less than the full amount. Most of them are 4 scoops a lot of time I'll do 3 scoops so that it's not too much I agree 170 g is a lot at once.
What's in blackout?? I've had sleep problems since 12 or even earlier, always open to good sleep support products...
Sleep Natural Sleep Aid produced by NatureMade can be bought at walmart and it works really well for me.. I don't take it anymore cause I'm out, but it definitely helped.
Cool thanks brother! No Walmarts here in NYC but I'll check it and the active ingredient(s) out online for sure. Thanks again.
pretty sure it's all melatonin with a few extra herbs and whatever. lol.
Ah I see thanks brother, yeah dude I've been hip to the melatonin scene since like 13 haha. Definitely helps a little, but now I take it pretty much every weeknight.
The page won't load on ****, but I've checked that out and it doesn't look like anything groundbreaking; it has the usual suspects of natural sleep aid - valerian root I remember was the first, I think, ingredient mentioned, which is as innocuous as a drop of lavender on your pillow in my opinion...I think it might have melatonin and either 5HTP and / or GABA, so if you're looking into that see if you can get the ingredients much cheaper, which I'm pretty sure you can.
give the nature made a try! lol
Cialis is always the way to go in my book, just 1/2 or 1 for 2 or 3 days. Man maybe I'm a little happy I'm not running the deca this time, but I can imagine C-Dogs solves that one quickly.
That's legit advice. Cialis or caber will be your best two bets. Both about the same price most places.
True that and I would suppose Caber is better for prevention + increasing libido, Cialis or Viagra just helps you pitch tents all the time.
Well, she claims she got rid of it for good, I don't know.
is this blood and guts? I've been doing that for about 2 months now.
Love it. It's really showed me what I should be getting out of every workout and how to really wear a muscle group down. Now, I don't follow it lift for lift exactly, I've added a few different ones that I've put into rotation. Back is probably the best. I love hitting the lats. Really taught me how to hit the lats. Now they screammmmmmmm every time. haha.
