Help for Beginners
« on: November 07, 2008, 08:45:05 PM »
I remember what it was like being a beginner.

If anyone needs a bit of free help with some serious dieting questions just ask.

Im not a personal trainer but I consider myself a conditioning expert. I was once pretty fat due to an injury, and made a big comback. I am a national level competitor and try to stay in contest shape year round.

I can answer some of your questions here:

Well man I wished I was built like you.  Ok I know genetics plays a big part but I believe I could have a much better build if I worked at it.  I want to increase muscle size and lose body fat.  Any tips?  Thanks man.

Drewbull - Yes genetics do play a large part but i find working hard and eating right will do wonders.  Building muscle wont come over night but takes some time as you already know.  My weight goes between 160lbs - 180lbs depending if its offseason or im getting ready for a comp.  My constant is roughly 400g. Protein and 300-350g. Carbs the only thing that changes is my cardio.  The closer to show time the more cardio i do.  6days on 1day off.

mon: Chest
tues:off
wed:back and shoulders
thurs:legs abs
fri:off
sat:biceps,triceps and forearms
sun:off

and i ate 4 meals a day all had protein and i would drink protein shakes

Nice... I'd love to be built like that, but the amount of work would be too much!  My problem is the opposite from most guys.  I have a hard time gaining weight.  I'm 6' and 165lbs.  A couple years ago I was at 145lbs, and I was able to gain 20lbs by eating so much food I wanted to puke all day long.  Took a couple of months.  Of course I was hitting the weights so my body fat didn't go up much.

I know my problem is mainly with diet.  If I had access to a buffet all day long it would be great.  But to prepare and eat so much food and protein, it really gets in the way of life.  I calculated it out and I think on workout days I need 3000+ calories.
