Anyone train hard on here?
Evening all
Just wondering if there are any other hardcore trainers on here ?
By hardcore I mean training & (fords) are all you think about like myself ? Spend alot of time in gym and thinking about when your next meal comes around to feed the mass?
Personally I eat sleep and breath training it's my life and lifestyle always want to lift that bit more next gym session and always wanting to grow!

I wont say I think about it all the time, much more important things in life, but I am relatively serious.
Depends on what you're comparing it too though. My non gym mates would probably say I am obsessed and its a waste of time and some of my gym mates would think I wasn't on it enough...
Any decent gyms in Gorleston/Yarmouth then?

Try micro of hydro whey after training as it has a faster uptake, that along with the BCAA's should help stop you aching so much

Depending on what your goals are would depend on how much calories a day you eat

PassionFord Regular
Yeah that is a problem, if using sauces try low fat ones, couscous is a very good carb to have, much better than rice, gimme 5 and I'll post up a sample menu

Try stay off the jabs mate, you cant beat hard work, yes you will get to where you want quicker but long term is very bad, try stay natural

My pleasure mate, glad it helped
Just really think hard on the jabs, I know people who did them and they are having all sorts of problems now. Remember you do it to add mass to your muscles, your heart is working at the same time so can cause that to enlarge as well as all sorts of other things...be careful

#28
Now you've actually said what you want, maybe you could give some details about your size/bmi etc and comment on your training.
Then it might be better to advise a diet plan.

Why on earth would you want to drink ice cold water upon waking?
Surely you'd be delaying gastric emptying and therefore slowing the influx of nutrients into your body when you need them most..?

I think the theory behind it is that it lowers body temp so your body raises it's metablism to counter. Plus takes away hunger.

Yogurts for breakfast are good as are easily broke down. Chicken and couscous all the way for dinner! Chicken and a small amount of pasta will help your body keep fuel till morning. Pasta is a good carb for stocking fuel. Either a decent amount for dinner which will fuel you for afternoon gym, or as said a small amount for tea. Tuna before bed if still hungry is good for protein and omega 3 through the night. Nuts and seeds are an excellent snack as the fatty oils are good for you.
Protein shake in the morning, at dinner and no longer than 30 mins after workout. 3l of water through out the day is enough.
Everyone finds something to work for them. And this did for me.
Delbee what shakes do you use?

Not wanting to start a row but??
I didn't think lowering your body temp started metabolism? Higher core temps raise metabolism. My routine wasn't as strict as delves but helped me lose fat and convert to muscle.{the body doesn't turn fat in to muscle, massive misunderstanding, the fat cells will shrink as they are been used for fuel when diet is correct, and in the right environment muscle cells will grow to meet stress placed upon them } I know protein shakes are something of a myth.{Yet further down this reply you recommend them 3 times a day? Dorian yates even spoke about how he didn't see anything wrong with smashing 3 or more shakes in a day to reach protein requirements (500+g per day in some cases). Why are they a myth, majority of baby milk is whey protein and it certainly works for them But a good pure whey protein packed with amino acids will kick start your body's attemp to break fat down {why does eating protein get the body to break down fat? good aminos and protein will preserve muscle and should keep you in an anabolic state. Interested to hear the theory behind that one}
Yogurts for breakfast are good as are easily broke down. {normally rammed with sugar and that's the last thing you want to start your day with, good source of protein (meat or eggs) and some healthy fats would be a 'good' choice.} Chicken and couscous {couscous is not very good nutritionally} all the way for dinner! Chicken and a small amount of pasta {personally avoid carbs in the morning and choose good fats as an energy source, your body has just gone all night with little carb intake, if any, and has just started to use the bodys own fat as an energy source, you want to keep that going as long as possible, not putting a halt to it by ingesting carbs} will help your body keep fuel till morning. Pasta is a good carb for stocking fuel. Either a decent amount for dinner which will fuel you for afternoon gym, or as said a small amount for tea. Tuna before bed if still hungry is good for protein and omega 3 through the night. Nuts and seeds are an excellent snack as the fatty oils are good for you {totally agree}
Protein shake in the morning, at dinner and no longer than 30 mins after workout {if your going for the 'anabolic window' Id throw in 50-75g of simple sugars as well to further enhance uptake}. 3l of water through out the day is enough.

As any runner or cyclist will tell you carbs will slow release energy throughout the day if you train 2 or 3 times a day or even work all day and train at night it will help. Mixed diet is key to healthy body

Also should mention that no matter what site, forum, gym you go to for advise everything's contradicting what other people's methods are. No one can agree on what's best. Hence why I mentioned find out what worked best for you
