Getting into shape

Remember that protein will be evil if you are not active enough.

WHERE TEH FUCK R U GETTING THIS FROM?????? protein is the best macronutrient you can have retard, even if you ate protein alone you would burn more fat because it takes more calories to digets protein than it does for other things. Kthxbye


grav, just eat 6 small meals a day (around 30g protein each) , do soem exercise and you'll be in your way.


If you wanna get technical about it, multiply ur weight times 15 , the number u get is the amount of calories u should consume in a day, for best fat burning and muscle building results , 40% of your calories should come from protein, 40% from carbs and 20% from fats. thats 40/40/20 , Each gram of carbohydrates contains 3.75 calories. Each gram of fat contains 9 calories,Each gram of protein contains 4 calories,Each gram of alcohol contains 7 calories.

Do the math

I have recently been excited about playing Rugby the past month and a half, so I have been going to my local gym and lifting w/ my brother. Im not really worried about weight, because my brother weighed a good 240 at the beginning of the summer 2-3 years ago, and at the end weighed 160, and all he did was focus on protein and eating right. The thing is, if you have high protein, your muscles will last longer. You will find it SO easy to go longer and the longer you go running or lifting, the more fat you burn. That is basically the rule I have been following although i have been slipping a bit I do see a little muscle formation in my left arm and a little more in my right mainly due to jerking off.

What I can give though:

Buy some creatine, buy a gym-pass. Lift weights as much as possible, before doing so have a water of Creatine mixed with the correct grams. Focus HARD on what you eat, and most of all, excersize. Even if you barely focus on what you eat, but focus TONS on excersizing and lifting weights, you can still do well, if not, then you can do excellent.

My plan:

Lose 40-80 lbs this summer. I weigh 215. I have been lifting since 2nd grade with my brother(who was my age when I was in 2nd grade), and I have always been the 'top of the line lifter' in my school. I do NOT plan to lose that title.

My influences:

My brother, he has done it, I KNOW i can succede with tons of hard work.
My father, He would be so happy if I come out to CA july 7th and he sees me weighing even 20 lbs lighter.
My social life, I will have more respect.

Think of the things you care about most, and we can both succede.

Eat whatever you want Grav, just dont eat late at night, or within a few hours before you sleep.

You shouldn't have to be all hardcore like IRON DFD over there.. just do a few crunches and pushups every other night or so untill you get strong enough to do more without hurting yourself.

Getting a job in the construction industry is a good way to keep active... lol

I'm a roofer...
Ever carried one hundred and fifty or so 80 pound bundles of shingles up a 40 foot ladder? I have .. lol every carried a forty foot ladder?... I do very little excersize at home cause I work so hard...

Yeah fuck all that.

My friend Ben (18 yo) is being an Iron Worker.

He fucking is insane hes been getting so much stronger-.-

A job loading 18 wheelers at UPS will bulk you up. It's working for me.

I have known cats that BANK working for UPS and Fed Ex... good choice JR

I've been there less than a month and they already want me to start working as a supervisor. May take them up on it too, seeing as how it would triple my paycheck and get me out of the union...

You cant just lift as much as you can every day and think it's going to work... Rest is about as important as the workout itself.

I agree with DFD, machine weights arent good. What you may want to try when doing situps is take some weight, put that in your hands behind your head, and start doing situps, you will definitly feel the burn alot quicker.

Buy some protein powder to make shakes, preferably of Whey protein.

Just one more thing, Eat breakfast like a king and dinner like a pauper.
Meaning that it's better to take the larger meals early during the day. Diner should be your smallest meal of the day. Besides diner dont eat anything in the evening.

I lost about 35 lbs. around 5 months ago...then I realized it made absolutely no difference in my appearance because I'm so short, so I gained it back.

Dont do anything h_k said. Its all wrong. You need to eat 3 filling meals a day. Not small meals alot. Protien and Carbs both will make you gain considerable weight, unless your really active. In crosscountry we would eat huge spagehti meals the night before our meet to give us lots of energy. Multiply your wieght times 15? Thats the stupiest thing I've ever heard, so the bigger and fatter you are, the more calories you need to consume? Cmon...
Grav, just eat salads. Lots and lots of salads. And run, most likely being a bigger guy(I've never seen you though)you have muscle to support your wieght and whatnot, so the more wieght you lose the more defined you look. Or you could just try and convert the fat directly to muscle...
I need to start working out too, but I'm waay to skinny. 6'2'' 150-160? So I drink protien shakes and and lift wieghts, I run too cause I like it. Damn not 8-10 miles though, how could you have enough time to do that...I see some people on my way to work running at 5:30 am. If I didnt have to go to work I would definatly be sleeping.

Ok follow his out of my ass advice and ignore my research backed advise.

It is better to eat in small portions. Your talking about running in competition, not just getting in shape. Eating spaggethi before sleeping does give you energy, but it's totally unnecessary and might even be bad if your just running to get in shape. Just eating salads isnt good either. You need variety in your food.

I wasn't telling him to eat spagehti I was just giving an example. He said he wanted to lose weight so I told him and its not all unhealthy.
Actually Grav I find that the bolemia/steroids route works pretty well too. Look into that.

Bulemia/steroids? Are you just mocking me now?

I wanted to lose some weight, not burn my esophagus and shrink my balls.

Yeah and try some genedoping while your at, it it's the newest thing on the market.

OMG THIS A VITEO GAIM FOOREM?

Yeah... I don't work out. I have a job in contstruction, and I am active with things like playing football/baseball/basketball for funxor and the once or twice a week concert is the best workout ever. If you go to concerts the right way.

I am in good shape. I pwn noobs.

Well, I've had no problem with weight, I weigh about 170lbs, and I use machine weights all the time, I bench at least double my body weight and last time I did leg squat I did 500lbs. I am very cut in the abs and arms and I just do sit-ups and push-ups every other day, if that. I am not consumed with this like some of you guys are, I eat whatever I want and don't worry about anything. Don't let a diet change your life. Let your life be your life.

Damn not 8-10 miles though, how could you have enough time to do that...I see some people on my way to work running at 5:30 am. If I didnt have to go to work I would definatly be sleeping.

Captained both cross country and track. And if you do it fast enough, it only takes an hour or two to do that kind of workout.
