One word. Scam.
They claim protein currently on the market is useless. In actuality they are just another thing ill never buy.

It'll go away... Has already. I'd imagine I was snoring pretty bad last night. Normally that happens. I've got a headache too I'm sure in the morning ill be good to go.

 

[Budman7811]

And my legs.... Ohhhh boy. I drive from site to site doing service calls. I just drove a little over an hour and almost couldn't get out of the truck.

Gonna be a long day

 

[Budman7811]

I think I don't see as good of body visual results due to the amount of carbs I consume. I also discussed with wife last night about the obstacle race we were going to do together... She's not ready and I respectively agreed to do a different race in October. With the kids just now getting back to school she can train harder.

Have you considered carb cycling to fit your race / lifting life style maybe even changing your macronutrient ratio a touch So keep same calories if you are building size however possibly lowering carbs, raising protein and possibly changing fat intake or changing type of carbs and carb placement during day and workout times....
I am sure you might have thought of all of this but just wanted to possibly give some insight and help
I'm here if you need it keep up the good work
It's amazing sometimes where some slight changes can make all the diff
And some times peeps have to to keep the body guessing adapting and building ESP with MB

I have thought about carb cycling ... And have in the past. With my current BF% I wasn't able to see as much positive results and with my work schedule (some weeks)+lifting I wasn't able keep consistency. I definitely need assistance there. Do you have experience or examples?

differently bud man I have you sir
I have personally trained alot of peeps for bb shows ... MMA fighters , crossfit to the average person just trying to get in shape
And pending on what pause of their contest prep or what their goal maybe depends on how and when you Incorporate the dietary changes

What's you're weight at now
And from staying with the log I see the workload everyday stress and workouts are.....
Ttys and when I hear back I can go forward with some suggestions ... See if you like them and then go from there if that sounds good

 

[mpdc]

I apologize for the typos everyone fat fingers + iPhone = sucks

I was meaning to say what phase the people are in for their training and by following your log I can asses calories and macro intake better

Btw any foods that you can't stand clean foods that is ...lol. any allergies

I got assessed a while back at 15.5%BF(I think the trainer might have fudged a little) I will say I have little on my arms and back its mostly the tire. I am at 187 four day straight... 2.5-3lbs up from start. Foods I have no restrictions or many dislikes, it's mainly a money thing.

 

[mpdc]

Perfect thanks so much

I will hit you back when I get done with work tonight !

 

[Budman7811]

Perfect thanks so much

All good, thank you for taking the time

 

[Budman7811]

Got a tub of jacked micro.... Going to be my daily goto

 

[Budman7811]

Picking up some BCAA today, probably will assist in my fasted training.

Picked up xtend haven't had it

 

[mpdc]

Check this out budman let me know if this might work for you

We don't want to drop your calories or carbs to often or low because I am assuming you still want to put on some good solid muscle

Meal 1- 2 omega-3 cage free , 1c ALL WHITES (egg whites) 4 oz sirloin/flank/tri-tip/ very mean ground beef, grass feed is the best but if money is an issue then no biggy
Onions/mushrooms etc if u make an omelet

Meal 2: (post workout) 1c pineapple 2 - 2.5 scoops Of whey protein drink

Meal 3: 8 oz talapia or 2 cans tuna fish if money is tight, 3/4c jasmine rice (cooked) ½ tbs coconut oil

Meal 4: 8oz chicken ½ jasmine rice , as much Asparagus or broccoli or green beans u want 1 tbs coconut oil

Meal 5: 8oz chicken ½ med. Avocado as much green beans or Broccoli or asparagus U want

Meal 6: 2-3 scoops protein powder good mix of casien/ whey so on something slow digesting u like whey isolate after your workout
Meal Totals: Approximately 2550 370 127 70

A little lower then your current calories but you will be up and down due to adding and subtracting carbs

Now the days you workout which should be about five days a week you take in the above listed diet
On days you are not lifting weights and maybe just a cardio or running ( if not long distance meaning 5k or more then) take out the pineapple and rice
This should be probably two to three days a week pending on how many days you perform resistant training
With the same clean foods on a daily basis with a few low carb days in between this should tighten you up keep your strength up energy levels pretty decent and feeling pretty decent all around
ESP with taking the MB it will maintain as well keep building muscle
Now due to the fact you are not in all out mass mode and restricting calories you won't have lbs lbs of muscle but what you do add will be solid
But if u follow this for one week solid and u find yourself dropping a pound then I would up the rice amount each meal on your carb meals by 1 full cup on meal 3 and 3/4 cup on meal 4 and keep doing so till u find that happy medium
Clean in clean out
If you noticed your calories are almost the same just cages the amount or carb to protein ratio
The benefit of this diet is the specific carb placement after the workout
Quick abs protein and carbs right after workout then one hr later a quick easy digestible protein like the fish with some med absorbable carbs like rice yes complex carb due to it being rice but white rice is a little higher on the glycemic scale but the coconut oil will slow it down a touch leaving you with a good mct
Let me know what you think
We can adjust how u need or feel

Now there are more co pled carb cycling diets then this but those are for a true recomp or getting low bf%
These would consist of ext low , low , med and high carb days which the macronutrients would change due to the day you are on

We can even throw in some cheat days I highly recommend those one a week

You can even change the order of meals around but make sure that meal 2 ,3,4 always follow your workouts and your bcaa you just picked up will help but I am a big fan of amino loading before during and after workouts even while on a cycle some say don't need them save them for pct but I say more aminos pushed in the muscle the better around resistant training and keep taking during pct to help assist in keeping gains

 

[mpdc]

Shot maybe even by lowering your carbs and raising your protein that might even help in itself
But let me know
Keep up the good work

 

[Budman7811]

Yeah we will talk.... I let you know what I think later. Late as hell for work

[Budman7811]

Started on call today.... That's right I am still working. On way to hopefully my last call, bout an hour drive. Wasn't expecting to have to eat the dreaded fast food. I did and it slid right down, doesn't that make your stomach turn? I guess that would be part of a forty bulk haha

 

[Budman7811]

Felt guilty that I cheated myself, so I stopped into smoothie king got almond and banana 45gprotien smoothie. Have another job to goto so I figured this should hold me over.

 

[Budman7811]

Finally in way home.

 

[Budman7811]

And back to work.... I still need to go over those options for better eating just a little hard to pick through it between jobs. I'm only good for a couple or three one. Liners.


Found that 5 MAX-BULK is working good for me. Going grocery shopping today to try and fill that list.

 

[Budman7811]

Scratch grocery... Three more jobs hopefully that finishes off my day. Making that cash puts stress on the body. I managed between calls to go by vitamin shop, goodie bag day. Hella samples too... Omegas, BCAA, electrolytes, multis.,..those on top of what vitamins and supps this morning has me freaking zooming. Cleanest energy ever... All I need is a little testosterone and bam I'd be the hulk.

 

[Budman7811]

Whoo hoo on way to drop off equipment then hone. Last job had this outside.... I thought it was funny

 

[Budman7811]

Gym bound tomorrow chest anyone? Got my wife going so I will hit chest hat and see what kind or PR I can get.

Ok here's what I got....the one thing not factored into this is my training time. I train at 510am, a meal before isn't going to happen. I wake at 4:09 hit snooze then up at 4:18, this is when I start packing breakfast and lunch, all supplementation, clothes and off I go. Aminos not BCAA? I was hoping to start with AP by USP and the fasted training spoke of BCAA being the backbone. (I will link the thread once I find it again.) food wise I can handle about 4 of those meals after that I know I'll be stuffed. I will try my best, I didn't see any breads(cereal, granola) or frozen yogurt(need one of them, hahahahaha). I need to figures out aminos, any suggestions? Ill hit the grocery store hopefully tomorrow and see what I can get. I am going to try and get the wife to follow the diet, with less calories by far.

 

[Budman7811]

:/ well wife didn't want to go so its just me and kids. Still going hit chest ... Just not as hard. Tomorrow going to cardio:abs I've got a lot of setting up tomorrow, we just added a location in tampa and they need us to set the warehouse up.

Why don't you pack all your things ready for the morning the night before. Then as soon as you get up get some food into you. Bang! Done

 

[Budman7811]

Why don't you pack all your things ready for the morning the night before. Then as soon as you get up get some food into you. Bang! Done

Lazy.... I need a change anyways. Hitting that PR makes me happy... I ate about an hour pre, oatmeal with hempseed probably helped.

 

[Budman7811]

Sending wife to grocery store for family and then I a going for myself. I want to give this diet a solid go. I have 50 soft gels left (two bottles would have been epic) going to space them out a little I wanna have some good results.

Cardio tomorrow ... New pics and weigh in.

 

[Wilsy7]

You need to get the work in especially where the diet is concerned if you want good results. Come on man head up! Kill it!

 

[Budman7811]

Great intensions but I didn't set alarm... Good thing I had all my stuff ready to go. I missed my meal this morning which I was going to have issues cooking that early. I've got a smaller home and noise is a factor, hadn't thought of that. Left over it precooked eggs are sick. Is oatmeal a good alternative?

 

[Budman7811]

Treadmill was nice, never really got tired. I did walk/run a bit. Will add incline and just walk next time, treadmill also has decline so we will see how that works one day. 2.87 miles, 384cal not sure of time won't show me but around 30min.


Tack on some decline crunches and decline twists and that was my day. Sucks I was late, at least I got re cardio in.

2 scoops protein shake, Greek yogurt(only got a few left gotta eat due to expiration date) and cup of pineapple. I've got ground turkey jambalaya for next meal. Gotta pick something else up for later got a lot of traveling today.

 

[Budman7811]

Couple of pics @186lbs

 

[tyga tyga]

So you've gained roughly a lb. since July 27th? I can't see a difference from the early photos to the most recent ones.. Not trying to be a dick FYI trying to see what max bulk can do..

[mpdc]

Sorry bud man I had a rough weekend but anyways about your questions
this is my training time. I train at 510am, a meal before isn't going to happen. I wake at 4:09 hit snooze then up at 4:18, this is when I start packing breakfast and lunch, all supplementation, clothes and off I go. Aminos not BCAA?

Np about Working out first thing just move that meal one later on in the day probably towards later evening time because it is high-protein moderate fat and low carbohydrate
IMO best option

And do what u can with the diet and slowly add in meals as the weeks progress and don't forget to take those aminos before and after workout
If they r not bcaa then during working might be a little harsher on your stomach but seen it done
You will def notice some faster recovery with some amino loading

Def if your wife wants to follow it just cut the diet in half pending on her size weight and body type age and so on

Need anything else let me know bro do it up you are doing great so far
As far as aminos
I suggest modern bcaa pretty decent for before and during
And after protocol is pretty sweet


I was hoping to start with AP by USP and the fasted training spoke of BCAA being the backbone. (I will link the thread once I find it again.) food wise I can handle about 4 of those meals after that I know I'll be stuffed. I will try my best, I didn't see any breads(cereal, granola) or frozen yogurt(need one of them, hahahahaha). I need to figures out aminos, any suggestions?

[Budman7811]

So you've gained roughly a lb. since July 27th? I can't see a difference from the early photos to the most recent ones.. Not trying to be a dick FYI trying to see what max bulk can do..

True hard to tell even for me looking in the mirror. I don't have capabilities to squeeze them all together. I have erased the pics from my phone. I will get On the computer and try my best. I will say I was skeptical about the product the first 18 days. Then I started feeling some strength increase. The 240lb bench for 2 reps was amazing for me. I can't wait to see what the rest of the week has for me.

As far as the weight 2lbs up was ok.... I am blaming my diet for the lack of weight increase. As stated earlier I was 55%carb with fat and protein pretty much spilt. Not much for large gains there. More of a maintenance for a piss poor diet. These next ten days will be higher protein... Per the diet above. Follow along and check in a week see if things are different.

 

[Budman7811]

Put a before pic with a recent pic together so we can see the difference.

I'm home now I will try something.

 

[Budman7811]

This is me 2011....

 

[mpdc]

Great change from 2011

Remember the MB is gonna take about 3 or so weeks to really start kicking in ....hope it picks up for you

Also ..... I now the diet has been rough getting on point but just decide in your head ...ok I am bulking so need to increase calories or you are going for more of a recomp meaning staying same weight but losing fat building muscle

Of course the diet above is better for recomp then straight bulk but u can still use it as a base and still eat clean and keep slowly adding carbs till you see maintained weight or weight gain and then back off a touch

If you want to pm me about any questions let me know
But yes unfortunately diet is número UNO and if that isn't in place the rest can go to SH&$
Life can be tough with work family and all but they say planning is key to success and for instance
I cook all of my food in one day put it ziplocks and freeze it and pull it out when i need it

Maybe try that ?

But that's why we r all on here is to learn and improve and help one another...

Ttyl brosifffff
