I'm having problems getting more protein and less carbs. I can get around 360 carbs and 260 protein, but I need them both at 310. I've gotten days where I get 310/310 but I have 4-5 protein shakes, which is slightly inconvenient.  What are some ways to get more protein and limit carbs?


Hard boiled eggs, cheese sticks, beef jerky, lots of grilled chicken made once a week and kept in baggies and eaten throughout the week, cottage cheese, ground beef made up at the beginning of the week into meatloaf and eaten as necessary. You can also do protein bars and shakes when you need a quick 30-40g boost.

Warning: Taking high doses of fish oil can be dangerous; more than 3 grams per day can keep blood from clotting properly and can increase bleeding in your body. High doses of fish oil might also reduce the functioning of your immune system. Taking fish oil supplements in large amounts can also increase levels of the LDL "bad" cholesterol in some people.


raynor, is this real life ?


lol total hogwash. That sounds like it's right out of the FDA manifesto.

If more than 3g per day of fish oil will cause problems clotting, I'm afraid to say that millions of people would have died from papercuts by now...myself included. This is obvious hyperbole, but truth be told, there is NO credence to the idea that more than 3g of fish oil per day causes clotting issues. Risk of reduced immune system is equal poppycock. Also increasing LDL levels? Quite the opposite.

Hey Ray,
When doing hypertrophy, does the amount of weight really matter? As in, do I have to be so strong before getting the full effects of hypertrophy, or is me struggling to do 12 reps of 155 bench the same as someone stronger than I struggling to do 12 reps of 305?
Thanks!


The more strength you have going into hypertrophy, the larger the foundation you have to expand on. If you are volumizing your muscles and you have a small frame and small muscles to work with, you aren't improving on much. You need a very strong foundation to do hypertrophy successfully. You build upon the strength and density of you muscles and start increasing the size and volume. If you don't have enough strength and density to begin with, you will see diminished gains with hypertrophy.

Hi Raynor

So i'm 16 - 5'8 and about 165 pounds.
I'm basically trying to lose about 20-25 pounds over the summer.
Could you give me some sort of advice of what i should eat daily?
It would also be nice if you could leave me some sort of weekly meal plan.

Hello Raynor,

I humbly ask your advice for a 3rd year Uni student, trying to prepare himself for the military after graduation (which i've come to know as cardio/calisthenics kingdom), while maintaining performance for my passions (rocking climbing, brazilian jiu jitsu). I am a Criminology/English doub major - so i'm not doing anything as intense as Biology/Chemistry/Engineering that requires extreme mental awareness at all times.

My current stats are:

Age: 21
Height: 6'2''
Weight: 180

I was originally doing Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 program M/W/F/Sat concurrently with BJJ on Tues/Thurs. However I sustained a left elbow injury from a kimura technique in BJJ, and am coming off a 2 week break of doing nothing but swimming (egg beating and side stroke with my right arm only). This quarter I took a break off climbing at our Uni gym (offers a rock climbing wall), to concentrate more on BJJ because I thought it would not be feasible to lift/climb/bjj/study.

What do you suggest to provide a good balance ? That would allow me to improve on all levels, gain muscle, all while staying ripe for the military. I know this might be a daunting request, but any insight would be helpful.

I thank you for your time and consideration,
LtSinborn



Hey there.

Well first of all, we have to consider that in the military for need to boost your endurance considerably. Refer to this for running endurance:

Improving running endurance and distance


Secondly, you are going to need to improve upon pushups and other bodyweight exercises:

Check this out for that:

Bodyweight exercises


lastly, if you want to continue training martial arts and also lifting weights, I would recommend you continue, but no more than 3x per week of each. You need to be able to do a proper blend, and right now it's going to be difficult. Remember to get enough calories and water every day, and especially enough protein (at least 200g)

hey reynor, my sister liked the workout you gave me, could you build one for her? She's 25, 6'5 and 148.6 lbs.
She wants to lose belly, and she has liquid retention, and she wants to lose fat on her calves.
thanks man.


Wait...your sister is 6'5"? Does she play in the WNBA? If not, she certainly needs to.

But she's only 148.6 lbs at 6'5"?? Something isn't right here...did you mean 5'5?

Steroids are illegal and can pose quite a few long term side effects.

Speaking from a future doctor, as well as personal trainer and nutritionist, I say to stay away from steroids, especially orals like dianabol.

They are also illegal and pose serious consequences to those who engage in the sale, possession, and distribution such items.
