I take other "things" but you can figure that out

how much do those "other things" cost? i'm currently 6'3" and i weigh 215lbs. i want to put on some more size, but i can't seem to eat enough. i just had knee surgery 7-2-07, so i lost about 5 lbs from that.[can't work the legs that hard yet]. i would like to know more about your routine, if you don't mind sharin? if you don't want to talk publicly, e-mail, pm me or something, cause you look awesome. i need some help. thanks, don

For what it's worth, those "other things" should not be taken by a newb. Research, research, research. Then train hard, then hit your plateau, then look into those "other things."

eating is a BIG part of growing...I LEARNED late in the game that food is the best supplement you can have. Not to be cocky BUT i would be a pro IF I would have gotten good advice as a teenager. When your 30 and finally figure out that food is a major part rather than everything else. Anyways...
If you are having trouble eating enough...Iam going to make a thread on this but you need to cycle your food intake. meaning high calorie days vs medium calorie days and low cal days.
Check later for more info in the thread I post.

As for a routine....Mine is your typical 5 on 2 off.
Sunday- chest, abs, 30 minutes on treadmill walking
Monday- Quads and calves
Tuesday- Bi's/ Tri's/ abds, 30 min
wed- off
thursday- back traps
friday- hams, calves, shoulders
sat-off

I train VERY STRICT...15 warm up, 12, 10, 8 reps...IF I cant get my FIRST 3 sets with PERFECT form I drop the weight. NOT uncommon to see me curling with 25 pd dumbells late into my workout. I am not a big number guy...I used to be all about big number lifts (770 squat) but wasnt making the muscle gains I wanted and was getting thick in the waist. NOW I barely EVER see 405 pds on a squat. Lat night did legs...
5 sets of squats..
135x20
185x20
195x20
225x20
305x20

rep count 6 sec down, 2 seconds up. No bouncing, no cheating...just slow controlled reps. Iam not a powerlifter and dont train like one. I just want to "look" strong. I dont care if I can curl 200 but it is nice to have 18" arms when Iam only 5'5"... plus I can only curl like 85-90 lbs...

ok...now into the OTHER stuff...
Iam not go into details but I do use products not approved by the general public. As for cost??? My inital investment is always costly but over the length and period of time you use product it equals LESS than most OTC supplements.

Eating gets so boring!

dmkx3 · 07-24-2007, 01:36 PM

thanks for the info. i'm not a newbe, been training for awhile, just haven't figured the food part out. i go for more weight less reps, but i guess i'll have to change that. i try to get 2 grams or more per pound. don't eat crap food. would love to get the six pack. the supplements that i take are amped, metrx original, and whey protein. i was thinking of taking an hgh, but don't know which one. i've read a little on jinoprin, the stuff that stallone got busted with, that stuff is exspensive. anyway i will be looking out for some more info from you or anyone else who wants to chime in. can you give an example of the foods that you eat? thanks

don

gh ISNT that expensive IF you know where to look....Jinotropin is kinda pricey but you can grab generic blue top (usually 100 iu kits)...way cheaper.
I "know" a few people who lost tremendous amounts of BF with only 2-3 ius per day even eating same amount of calories. Average BF lost is 30% more.

My typical daily food is pretty much the same
530am-50 gram protein w/ water shake
700 10 egg white cooked
830 1/2 oatmeal with cinn and sweet n low
1000 protein shake- 50 gram
snack- (if Iam not dieting for a show)- natural PB on wheat bread
1130- chicken, sweet potatoe, (snack- baked lays)
1pm- some sort of carb (sweet potatoe)
130 protein (food or shake)
330- protein (usually turkey or chicken)
500 small carb and protein serving
600 pm train
cell mass right after training
730- turkey, chicken or beef, hummus, and veggies...
930 air popped corn

thats typical...I do throw in variety here and there but not much...

IF iam not dieting for a show...EVERY friday or sat I do have a blow out meal...NOT all day JUST ONE...like ice cream or something

dmkx3 · 07-24-2007, 02:20 PM

where can i get this "generic" gh? how much is "cheaper"? my typical diet
4:00am 3 eggs/ 1/2 cup of oatmeal
4:30am amped drink
6:30am whey protein 24g
7:30am peanut butter on wheat and a piece of fruit
9:00am 1/2 cup of oatmeal
11:30am metrx oringinal, maybe even a chicken breast
2:00pm a snack, maybe another peanut butter on wheat or a chicken breast
4:30pm something light for dinner, i.e. a plain hamburger patty or another chicken breast
7:00pm 1/2 cup of oatmeal and a whey protein
i hardly ever eat after 7pm maybe 8pm sometimes.
i try to vary my food also, it depends on my mood. i train in the morning[5am]. my cheat day is saturday, nothing to far out though. i know that i need more protein, but where else can i get it from? i want to thank you for the info, good stuff

LITTLEMAGS · 07-24-2007, 02:57 PM

^^ looks good but you need to add some WHOLE protein...I can tell you I make about 15-20 chicken breast on the grill on sunday and put them in the fridge. You need chicken, you got it... It saves time and when your tired and dont want to cook it is a lot easier to do it this way. I make a lot of different chicken dishes...
BBQ, diced in salads, chopped with peppers, chopped with marinara sauce...etc...you get the idea...
cook a lot on sunday to save time during the week...
