Bigger is better

Post by Darth Daul »

I have been doing hard workouts for few months now.
By hard I mean:
-4 times a week; 2 days on, one day off 2 days on 2 days off
-as heavy weight as I can, doing 8 reps and 3 sets
-Abs with every workout
-Cardio 1 time a week (Run, Bike, Row, or Rollerblade)

I want to have large bulky muscles but I seem to be getting skinny muscles…not bad, but not what I’m looking for.

I was at a supplement store the salesman (that seemed to have lots of knowledge) suggested to us “EAS HP advanced Growth, Phosphagen Eliteâ€Â

-Abs with every workout
-Cardio 1 time a week (Run, Bike, Row, or Rollerblade)

Diet:
Not a strict diet
-Cereal or 3 Eggs and toast in the morning.
-Fruit and green veggies mid morning snack
-Tuna Sandwich lunch and apple or banana
-Supper is what ever family is having, usually chicken, or beef with spinach salad (light dressing) and some easy carbs (whole-wheat bread, whole-wheat noodles, or baked potato). I would say about 40% Protein, 40% Veggies, and 20% Carbs
-Whey Protein after a workout

weakness is Peanut Butter...When I need a snack I have a spoon full of Peanut butter, I know I need to stop it but it is like a drug to me.

-Cereal or 3 Eggs and toast in the morning. Don't eat whole Eggs. Limit to one Yolk and the rest Whites. Cereal would be a better choice than Toast, as the Carbs will yield a better Glycemic Load, which when Bloodsugars are lowered, is what you will benefit from.

-Fruit and green veggies mid morning snack More Protein would be better here.
-Tuna Sandwich lunch and apple or banana Not bad. I'd eat the Fruit first, to avoid Putrifaction in the Gut. Keep the Bananas small, as Large ones have about 28g Carbs, small 18-19g, which is the same as the Apple. So if you keep to small ones sometimes, you won't be fluctuating Carbs from day to day, if both Fruit sources are yielding the same Carb amount.

-Whey Protein after a workout No real problems here

weakness is Peanut Butter...When I need a snack I have a spoon full of Peanut butter, I know I need to stop it but it is like a drug to me. Yes, get rid. Pointless ingestion of more Fats and Salts than necessary in opinion

chest - 24 sets
rest of the body - 24 sets
completely insane

stick to squats, deadlifts, rows, bench presses, pull ups and lunges and do 3 full body workout a week...choose a variation of each for each day and off you go...stick with 3 x 10 or so but maybe drop to 4 x 6 for squats or deadlifts whichever lift your best at...no machines, no single joint exercises...all free wt, multi joint exercises...if you have to abs do 3 sets each session of 1,2, or 3 exercises doesn't matter...cardio 2 - 3/week
