  • Canned tuna in water;any game meat such as venison; flank, top sirloin, and skirt steak for beef; and of course turkey/chicken breast
  • My advice: stop crossfit before you really hurt yourself. If you told your "instructors" the first day you are new to lifting and working out, yet they still put weight on the bar to deadlift without proper instruction, and THEN had you doing 20 reps of an olympic lift which was meant to be done 5, maybe 8 times max...well…
  • If you want to preserve your muscle then it's necessary to get adequate protein in your diet to ensure you continue protein synthesis. BCAAs won't have a noticeable effect for at least a month, like most supplements. The main reason why they are recomended during a cut is because they help prevent muscle loss during…
  • In order to calculate calories per serving: add up total calories then divide by how many meal you'll make it. As for how to eat it...I eat tuna plain with a small amount of olive oil and pepper. If you need to put it on something then wheat or whole grain bread would be your best option.

  • It is not the food that causes cancer it's what we've done to the food that results in cancer. Cows are fed diets of corn...corn which has been modified out the ying yang and dusted with pesticides then ingested by cows full of hormones we pumped them with...so do not blame red meat or any food for that matter, blame us…
  • Optimum nutrition hydro builder post work out to build muscle-I swear I put on 10 lbs of muscle in 2 months from this stuff alone.
  • The more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn at rest and while exercising. I would advise doing at least toning exercises (lighter weight higher reps) in addition to the cardio. In addition, what you eat before your workout will have an impact on how you burn calories. Most people will disagree with this and…
  • 50% protein 40% fat 10% carbs eating 2800 calories daily to maintain
  • venison jerky is fantastic!!! I wish I could get it here in FL. Actually better for you than most meats you can buy in the store.
  • To preface, I swam at Florida State from 2008-2011 and coached my old high school from 2012-2013. A few tips: 1. Give yourself intervals for whatever distance you are doing, i. e. 4x50s @1:30 this will force you to keep your heart rate up during a "set". 2. As far as equipment goes nothing is absolutely necessary, but a…
  • Subway's "Turkey" is pork based. No need to say more.
  • during bulk: 3 eggs and 1 cup egg whites (scrambled w/1 tbsp heavy cream and cooked in 1 tbsp coconut oil), 1/2 avocado and 1 cup oats during shred: 2 eggs and 1 cup egg whites (scrambled w/water and cooekd in 2/3 tbso coconut oil), and 1/2 cup berries I eat 6 meals a day during both stages and this is my meal one.

  • I swam competitively for 18 years and also at FSU while I attended. Let me tell you...it is almost impossible to "replace" what swimming 6 days a week does for you. I've seen more swimmers gain weight after stopping than almost any other athlete because of what our caloric intake used to be. If you want to continue to eat…
  • Research suggest creatine taken at any time is beneficial. 5g-10g a day while bulking because it does make you retain water, however certain creatine blends will give you less water retention than a simple monohydrate. Personally I take 2.5g pre and 5g post with a simple carb + protein to help with uptake into muscle…

  • Almond butter...$8-$9 for a 12 oz jar wtf
  • I drink BCAAs during any training session and I personally see a noticable difference in fatigue intra workout and with reduced next day soreness. When I was a NCAA swimmer I made sure to drink them throughout practice and/or competition to aid in recovery. Although they can be taken any time of the day I would recommend…
  • I recently finished Corey Greggory's 16 week get swole program (musclepharm). The program yielded pretty good results with my body recomping from 18% BF at 170 pounds to 14% at 180 pounds and I was working out in my apartment gym. I think if I had an L.A. fitness or something similiar the results wouldve been better. Most…
  • I'm currently doing the same thing as you...gaining muscle while trying to limit fat. I've found that at 5'10" and 180 lbs I need roughly 3400/calories a day to make gains and remain lean. The number one thing to remember is this...fat is NOT the enemy. You must eat fat to stimulate your body to burn it. In addition, in…
  • I'm an ex-collegiate swimmer...hop in the pool and you get a full body cardio workout like no other, especially if you struggle in the water. There's a reason why Phelps needed to eat 10000 calories a day in Beijing. Personally I used to consume roughly 8000 for maintenance. You do the math.
  • I was a Div. 1 NCAA swimmer in college training 4 hours daily and consuming between 7000-8000 calories a day...doesn't get too much more intense than that. We had 3 groups depending on what your events were-sprint, mid distance and distance. Sprinters did the least amount of cardio/actual swimming and more weight lifting…
  • Generally I ask whatever woman I'm with what she prefers. She's the one with her hands on me I don't feel myself for sh*ts and giggles.
  • I disagree entirely with those who are saying to eat junk during a "lean bulk". I'm doing the same thing right now trying to shed fat but gain weight, and I've found that whenever I supplement my calories with junk like ice cream or mcdonalds my body will store it to fat almost right away due to the nutrient mix being so…
  • I'm crushin on the two women above me and wouldn't mind joining in on that party.
  • Let's find out how high you can count
  • They are talking about whether or not to chocke the chicken, spank the monkey, stroke the salami, whatever you wanna call it before you go on the date. If you don't, you'll think about sex a lot more and it will probably influence you without you knowing it. BUT, if you do and then can't perform later you're not gonna be…
