What do your workouts even consist of?
I've scaled back over the last month.
- 1 day a week cardio which consists of about 6 50 yard sprints after the same amount of light warmup jogging. I'm not doing prolonged cardio. I love sprinting because it builds muscle and increases cardio endurance in a much shorter amount of time.
- 1 day a week of chest/back
- 1 day a week of shoulders/arms
- 1 day a week yoga
and then whatever i want the other days. I still tend to work out about 6 days of the week, but it's less strict. not like what i was doing last fall where I was lifting heavy 6 days a week.0 -
You need to hire a trainer who specializes in training, and nutrition. No one here should recommend anything, as we do NOT know your stats. Therefore, you need to get the specialized macros for you. I use Jerry Ward from www.bios3training.com.0

If you're up for adding more fats to your diet, I'd go with more oils.... Olive oil, coconut oil (not the refined crap), etc. Cook everything in it. Veggies, ground turkey/chicken.... That's an easy way to up the calories without physically having to stuff yourself with food.
A good way to up your calories with oils while still eating clean is to chop up tons of different veggies and toss them in a good amount of olive oil, garlic, and balsamic vinegar. Roast em up in the oven and chow down. You could probably include a couple chicken breasts or turkey breasts with this to get the protein in. Shrimp is also really good tossed in coconut oil and roasted in the oven or done in a frying pan0 -

If Reddy actually ends up eating 27 ounces of ground beef and a pair of pop tarts every day, I'd embrace him like a brother.0 -

I work by the battery, not driving and doing some sprints isn't a valid reason to forgo squats and lunges That's like giving up chest and back work because you box.0 -

oh thank you wise one... why didn't i consider using quotes around the word clean for that very purpose...
I don't know what that means, that's why I asked So do you wash your foods to get rid of germs and muck? Are there dirty foods? I'm sorry, I have never heard that foods were described this way. Is whey a dirty food because it is processed, how about beef since it is not as lean as turkey does that make it filthy? I suppose bread is dirt as well:( If so does that make my diet unclean? I must be doing something wrong.
oh.... you're so cute. Unhelpful but cute.
Why thank, but I am being realistic. Too many people get confused by the terms clean and dirty. What is clean to some might not be clean to others.
wait... a... minute...
May I ask what is with the underlying sarcastic insults? Are too insecure to provide a counterargument? Did I just destroy your "clean" paradigm?
wait... a... minute...
Why are you raging on someone when it doesnt even look like you lift? do you even lift?0 -
