Question for the muscle building guys...

Whats your email? I was wanting to start a bulking diet 2 weeks ago but didn't do it. All that typing I did earlier motivated me lol. I made a spreadsheet and hit the grocery store today.

Sad part is all the food I bought cost me 30 bucks and the 2lb just of ON whey was 24 bucks.

Anyway, I have a spreadsheet I can send u. It's like 3200 cals, 320g protein, and 376 carbs. I need to come up with at least 1500 more calories somewhere throughout the day.

PM sent
 
Sent it to you both.

I will let you know that where it says meal 2 is a steak - that is not true. I will make a lunch meat or pbj sandwich for lunch. I actually do not eat the steak until evening.
 
we live about a block from each other. my youtube page (littlemags) has us benching in his garage in the summer using the slingshot powerlifting device. he is a good training partner for sure
 
Started tracking my diet today. I'm 6'3" ~280lbs and rather strong but also rather fat (around 35% bmi) and want to be very strong and a little fat (I'm just not a "skinny" kind of guy). What, if any, adjustments should I make? Here's my totals (including my 10pm meal).

Calories - 2839
Carbs - 372g
Protein - 243g
Fat - 40g

Holy crap. Couple of beasts. Where do you get that slingshot thing? Looks like a cool, quick alternative to a shirt.
 
go to www.Muscleandstrength.com for some great info. Just read and study what interests you. I was a bodybuilder back in my 20's and now I'm 37 and have been back at it for almost two years now. When i started I was 165lbs, in the winter I hit 200 now I have leaned out to 193 and shooting for 185 before summer. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication. I train 5 days a week about 1-1.5 hours a day. EAT EAT EAT and keep EATING :)

I'm sure you're looking for his response, but what has helped me is the following. Now, I'm just doing P90X with body weight and dumbbells. And I am "Bringing It" like Doc Horton says to do, I'm not shutting it off with 20 minutes left, and I'm not skipping days. I've been eating, lots of grilled chicken, Extra Lean/Lean Ground Turkey, Sweet Potato, Green Beans, Brocolli, Carrots, Asparagus, Brown Rice, Oatmeal, lots of Egg Whites, clean cereals, 2% Milk, (some say drink Whole Milk if you're trying to add or keep size). So far I have lost 10lbs while eating these foods and "Bringing It" on P90X. But I've also built some good muscle. Read my next paragraph.

For what it's worth, I was already in good shape when I started at 198lbs, but I'm now 189-191lbs every morning. I'm only on Day 31. I have roughly 60 days to go. I'm getting pretty cut up, ripped lines are popping out of muscles, chest and arms are bigger, abs are fighting their way to the surface. My veins get pretty pumped during the workout now. I've noticed a lot of change in my back as well. I bet in another 30-40 days the abs will be getting ripped. It just takes good ole' fashion hard work and dedications.

Hell no. No needles. I'm going for good ole fashioned work. It's been fun so far, amazing what dedication will do in a short period of time. I love seeing the gains in the way I look and the amount of reps I've gained. Not trying to be a bodybuilder, just trying to looks the best I can and reach my goals.

Although, I'm going broke buying dumbbells. I knew I shoulda bit the bullet on the 349.99 Bowflex set. 5lbs--52.5lbs would have been the best bet for the money.

You also would have broken and sent them back at least twice by now. Those things are junk.

That's another reason I didn't buy them, I was afraid of them breaking. I've never used them besides picking them up inside the store. Some of the workouts are killer and I find myself dropping my dumbbells after a good burn. Maybe they wouldn't have worked so well. I just hate that dumbbells are a buck a pound. Two 50lb'ers =$100.00 WTF....

That's why I gladly pay my gym $15/mo (even though I'm on a free year) to have 4x 5-80lb and 2x 85-160.

Yeah, I hear ya. The smaller ones I didn't mind buying cause I can share them with my girl. Anything over 20lbs though, it's all me.

I've tried Play-It-Again-Sports and Craigslist, but both places are priced only 1-2 dollars a peice under what you can buy them new for. And they've been sitting in someones garage, they're all rusty and crusty. I don't want that shit. :lol:
