I want a hard body

ndj1979

Thanks, everyone for your feedback. I got information from someone via a private message and he told me to get a body like JM I should stick to 1 healthy carb a day and 1 fruit a day (only if I plan on exercising and only after I exercise). Other than that he said to stick to lean proteins and vegetables for the rest of the day, AND to count my calories. I like the idea that someone said to just make sure I have a calorie deficit and lift weights. That sounds more doable to me.

the carb part sounds like BS to me ..

You can eat carbs and still be shredded…just set your carb macro at like 30% and then go for 40%p and 30% f ….that is pretty standard for body recoup…make sure you hit your macros and eat in moderate deficit..

my diary is open if you want ideas…right now I am eating over maintenance on work out days..and in deficit on non-workout days..

Thanks, you've been very helpful to me. I just reset my settings to what you mentioned and will look into the compound lifts. I appreciate it.

Oh wow, I just looked at your diary. One of your meals is pretty much what I can have for a day! Ha, ha. Reading what you ate today made me hungry. I wish I had that many calories to eat throughout the day.

well I am trying to hit about 2500 to 2600 on work out days …non workout days I am closer to 1800 ….

i was just in a cut and i was only eating about 1700/1800 a day …

a great book for beginners is starting strength or new rules for lifting for woman...

strength training (low rep) builds denser muscles as opposed to hypertrophy (high rep) training.

I would love to have a body like Jillian Michaels or Carina from Dancing with the Stars. Is it possible to get a body like them if all I do is exercise (cardio, lift weights and Pilates) and watch my calories? A friend told me that her boot camp instructor told them to pretty much only eat fish, chicken, broccoli, and asparagus. Is this what I have to do to achieve my goals??

how else would you do it?

"A friend told me that her boot camp instructor told them to pretty much only eat fish, chicken, broccoli, and asparagus."

I was wondering if I could achieve my goals without my diet having to be so extreme. I realize I need to exercise and workout, but only eating lean protein and vegetables doesn't sound doable to me.
