yes...go for the full scoop.

for bulking without protein supps...i need your height/weight and body type as well as goals to give you a diet.

but as a general rule, you can pretty much just eat a ton of chicken breast, brown rice, broccoli and black beans throughout the day....you can also have eggs + oatmeal in the morning and cottage cheese + peanut butter before bed....but this is very broad and generalized...I can give you something more exact if u require it

Hello raynor

Im a fuggin fatty.
I want to lose weight and tone, but dont really know where to start.

My current routine looks like. 60 mins of brisk walking in morning. IN the after noon I do 3x5 bench / 3x5 squats/ 3x5 barbell row sun/tues/thurs, alternating with incline bench 3x5 and dips 3x10. Followed by a 30 minute elliptical session after workout.

I've been at it for about 3 weeks but havent really lost any weight, and its not like im gorging on steaks and triple cheese burgers or something. I eat 3-5 moderate meals a day with low carbs and almost no sugar.

Is there anything I can improve on to really lose more weight and tone my body? I think to cut is the term?

Thanks in advance for help

lmao!!! I just watched it...and wow...that was fucking horrible....it was like watching two men hugging 90% of the time

Hey there. eliminate pushups from chest day!! this causes your chest to fatigue rapidly and won't lead to great strength gains....the best bet to increase your chest strength is to do chest 2x a week (approx 3 days apart) and train the following:

Bench Press, Incline Press, Dumbbell Flat Presses, Dumbbell Overhead Pullovers, Wide-grip weighted dips.

also try 5x5 instead of 4x8-12

youtube some professional videos and practice your form WITHOUT weight.

Then when you start using weight, go really light until your form is immaculate.

Gradually increase weight and keep form proper.


Practice makes perfect.

This is a very interesting question....to play it absolutely safe...you should only eat tuna 1-2 times a week.

here is an interesting article

Hey there.

Make sure you add about 1 tbsp of sea salt per 1 gal of water if you feel that your sodium is too low.

Make sure to have also 2x potassium and 1x magnesium and 1x calcium to every 1x of sodium in your diet. Make sure not to go over 1500-2000 mg sodium per day on average cutting (pre-contest cutting would be 500mg / day)


also your first week or two of losses are mostly water stored up in the muscle groups from extensive prior sodium and carbohydrate consumption
