what's wrong with carrots? ;d cuz i have to wear glasses and carrots are good for my eyes as i was told by mine doctor :/


if you are cutting - carrots are not good because they contain sugar. During a cut, no sugar is allowed. During a bulk though you can eat carrots ;-)

as for your eyes, carrots have vitamin a (beta carotene) which is good for eyesight. However you can get this from multivitamins and/or vitamin A by itself.

for the bolded part, isnt it bad to work on an empty stomach? like dont i need energy. ?? also if i do cardio on the empty stomach how long should i wait before i eat after finishing. Is it ok to do 30 min cardio, then eat 3 eggs or w/e it may be right after and then go to work and about my buisness ?


cardio on a fast burns solid fat...it is the most effective way of speeding up a cutting cycle.

you can eat breakfast 10 minutes after you are done with your morning cardio

the split I posted is very good as an overall bodybuilding style regimen. if you are looking for pure power, then I'd recommend 1x musclegroup per week (mon-fri workouts)


Alright sounds good, so a muscle group each day for 5 days, take sat/sun off.

what should i expect to happen when i eat this every day?

(not asking you to make me a meal plan)

6am - 4 pieces of WHOLE GRAIN bread with REAL BUTTER + protein shake in WATER

10 55am 2x chicken sandwiches on WHOLE GRAIN bread with veggies

2pm protein shake in water

4 30pm 4 eggs 4 pieces of WHOLE GRAIN toast

6pm protein shake in water

7pm 1 cup of BROWN rice 3 eggs

9 30pm Peanut Butter + Jelly Sandwich on WHOLE GRAIN BREAD or WHOLE GRAIN CEREAL + WHOLE MILK + NUTS

doing a 5 day split - no cardio

18 y/o 5'9 140 lbs high metabolism


would i be...
gaining fat + muscle
just gaining muscle
losing fat and gaining muscle?


im beginning to think this may be a stupid question so feel free to ignore me... but imma risk looking like a tool and post it anyways :D



I have made changes ABOVE - please look.

With my changes you would be gaining muscle and a VERY tiny bit of fat. If you don't gain either its because you aren't eating enough. You can replace the protein shakes with weight gainer shakes (cytogainer is best in my opinion).

proper method would be like this

set 1 - low weight warmup set of approx 15-20 reps
set 2- increase weight to moderate weight for approx 12 reps
set 3 - increase weight to moderate/heavy weight for approx 8 reps
set 4 - increase weight to heavy weight for approx 3-5 reps
set 5 - BREAKDOWN approx 30% of the weight and force out as many reps as possible (until failure with no break inbetween sets)
set 6 - BREAKDOWN approx 30% of the weight and force out as many reps as possible (until failure with no break inbetween sets)

By the end of set 6, you will feel numb like the muscles you just trained are going to fall off. You are then allowed 1 minute of rest before beginning the next exercise.

Also, between sets 1,2,3,and 4 you are allowed only 12-20 seconds of rest. After that, set5 and 6 have NO rest.

Question about this: How much fasted cardio do you have to do? I'm thinking of adding it into my routine. Is it worth it to do on a spin bike?
For the spin bike I have a second question, I know it is a low impact cardio but even when I go at a high pace it is nothing in comparison to running on the treadmill or outside etc.
Is this something I should be worried about in terms of burning calories, or am I still burning a decent amount of calories even though I am not out of breath or sweating a lot.
Thanks

Meal 1 - 3 eggs + 1/2 cup oatmeal + 1/2 grapefruit
Meal 2 - 1x chicken breast + 1 cup broccoli + 1/2 grapefruit
Meal 3 - protein shake + handful of mixed nuts
Meal 4 - 1x lean steak + 1 cup green beans
Meal 5 - 1 can of tuna + salad
Meal 6 - 1 cup cottage cheese + cinnamon

workout plan:
DO 30 mins of cardio at the end of every workout - also try to do 15-30 mins of cardio every morning on an empty stomach before eating breakfast

(5 sets of each, pyramiding up from low to high weight ending at approx 6 reps, starting at about 12 reps)
mon - chest/abs - flat bench, incline bench, DB flies, cable crossovers, v-crunches, hanging leg raises, and decline situps (or roman chair)
tues - back/calves - straight leg deadlifts, lat pulldowns, bent over BB rows, DB lawnmower rows, standing calf raises, bent over donkey calf raises, one-leg calf raises.
weds - shoulders/traps - military press, arnold presses, lat raises, front raises, db shrubs, bb shrugs, front cable pulldowns (dickersons)
thurs - legs/abs - squats, lunges, leg press, leg extensions, laying leg curls, standing calf raises, v-crunches, hanging leg raises, and decline situps (or roman chair)
fri - bis/tris/calves - standing olympic bar curls, alternating DB curls, seated hammer curls, tricep kickbacks, cable pulldowns, skullcrushers, donkey calf raises, one-leg calf raises
sat - cardio only - do at least 60 mins of cardio (any style at moderate intensity)
sun - off



enjoy!


so how long do i do the workouts for? don't i need to switch them up after some time so i don't get the plateau effect or something ? and if i stick to this plan and eat properly when do you think ill start being able to see some physical progress?

30 minutes every morning is sufficient.

Spin bikes are also fine as long as you achieve moderate to high intensity

your heart needs to be in the 135bpm zone
