Hi my name is Big B; I am 17 Years old and in need of some help. I have approximately 3-4 months until I am supposed to enlist in the Coast Guard. I’m currently not even close to their standards for body fat presage or weight. But I was hoping to get a little help. Only thing they see me for is my Test scores and potential. Yet this is what I want to do.
Just for a heads up, I currently Take NO supplements other then a protein shake after a good work out, no multivitamins, no nothing. So I think that may also be a key factor in doing this more efficiently and effectively.
I have been going to the gym for about 2 to 3 months between 3-4 days a week working out, doing approximately. 30-40 min a day of cardio spilt between the Elliptical and treadmill, and some lifting, nothing over done, but I can feel the burn and cannot feel my muscles when I am finished, which I believe is a solid work out.
I have been eating well (to my standards, and is not bothering me a bit), No soft drinks, no extra snacks, lean meats, salads with FF dressings and everything, consuming roughly 2500-3000 calories per day, and spreading small meals throughout. From this I have lost a solid 15-20 pounds (deepening on what scale.) But I am stuck, which isn’t good, I can’t seem to drop anymore pounds or body fat percentages. I already tried switching up my routine yet still yielding next to no results, which to be honest is quite discouraging. (Eventually it will be warm enough and I play on swimming at my house for extra cardio)
So I did some research and have been looking into two options, or a combination of both, Or you may have a completely different idea. One being, a new diet, purely liquid (28 day diet, then after continue a strict diet, unsure of what.) – The Velocity diet (sure you all know what it is.) To drop some pounds right away, for some help and encouragement. Then trying a new Program called P90x. This fits my time frame. I am able to sell some things to compensate for the expenses involved, which is seeming to add up very easy.
With the Velocity diet I have working out my calorie intake to be between 1900(non-training day) and 2300 (training) Calories per day. With a estimated intake of 285 Grams of protein. Then keeping the carbs to fewer than 120g per day. I will be receiving all this via Protien Shakes, and other supplements. Also with this diet I plan on attending the gym hitting the weights like never before, and hopefully with the help of supplements and other drugs, legal. So here’s another problem, I am not sure what is what, with so many options I want my money to go toward something that is the most beneficial. From my research this is what I have come up with, which may not be good, but better then nothing:
What are your thoughts on the following, weather they will be necessary and in what amounts. These are my reasons for getting them. PLEASE correct, suggest specific brands and tell me if I am an idiot (I don’t mind) for attempting them *these are my interpretations of these drugs/supplements etc:*
Beta Alanine: Extra energy
Branched Chain Amino acids: helps maintain muscle rigidity
Taurine: UNSURE, someone did mention it though
Ce2 Hi-Def Creatine: Longer more explosive power
Orangtriad Multivitamin: Nutrition gaps.
Milled Flax seed: Good fiber Low carbs
Fish Oil: Cannot hurt
Fiber: Makes me more regular
Protien Mix: It’s given. Need a good brand with low cards high protein.
Hot Rox: Help with burning fat
Lots of good ole’ Water: Keep me good and hydrated
v8: To help with sodium and other nutrition gaps.
Caein Protien: Before I go to bed so, keep you full, dissolves slowly.
Me:
Age: 17
Weight: 285 Pounds
Height: 6 Foot 4 inches
Body Fat: *37%*
Measurements (in inches)
Waist: 46.5
Stomach (belly button): 46.5
Neck: 16.5
Mid thigh: 30
Triceps (flexed): 15.5
Chest: 44.5
The body fat was done on a machine at the gym that you hold out in front of you, yet not sure how accurate it is.
Desired/Needed:
Weight: 226, (this was determined by a wrist measurement and a chart yet I can be a certain body fat which is):
Body Fat: 23%
Measurements, don’t mind, just need to be physically fit, don’t care about looks, or being “ripped,” although will be nice.
Please I am open to all criticism, help, suggestions, and any other cleaver ideas that are Healthy, I don’t want to jeopardize my overall health to drop weight, which can always come right back on if done wrong.
The P90x may be put on hold until after I do this diet because I will be tied up with paying for all the expenses. Yet I will still be attending the gym and hitting weight harder then ever, doing what it takes, and hopefully start seeing results ASAP.
P.S: I believe I know how to lift properly (I do in general 3 sets of 10 reps of mild resistance) I do have the motivation, just not the time. Sorry for the first long post asking for everything but giving nothing in return. Hoping to get some assistance anything is greatly appreciated.
