jimmicrackedcorn

thanks alot for that! it tells me everything ill need to know!

superb post that.

Once again to reiterate .EAT EAT EAT....No eat=No grow....

Great post Jimmi.

I learned quite a bit, and I workout quite a bit. That's why I love it, you always learn something new, it isn't always the same.

Eating like a bodybuilder is common sense, dude.


You said your metabolism is high - thats good - keep it high by eating at least 6 times a day.
Eat until you're full. Then eat more to get bigger. Eat less to lose weight.
If you really stuck you can take weight gainers.
EAT MORE PROTEIN - EAT MORE CARBS

Post-workout nutrition

1. Protein shake immediately after workout
2. High protein intake for rest of day.
3. Don't eat at least 4 hours before bed, get at least 8 hours sleep.


Pre-workout nutrition (including all other meals)
1. High carb intake, except for lunch.
2. Lunch - High vitamin/mineral intake, med. protein, med. carbs.

If you don't understand 'high', 'medium' and 'low' intake just follow this guideline.

RULE OF THUMB IS 60% CARBS, 30% PROTEIN, 10% VITAMINS. POST WORKOUT NUTRITION IS 60% PROTEIN, 30% CARBS, 10 % VITAMINS.

Its really easy - and with time and experience you'll find the perfect diet for you, but just remember that carbohydrates is for energy, and protein is for building muscle - and you can't build muscle until you rest from exercise so there is no point eating a cow for breakfast everymorning.

pick up a couple of muscle mags and read. a good diet is as important as gym time. why you just lifting upper body......you really want to grow......you got to squat and dead lift. stick with a good clean diet and gym time 3 to 4 days a week and get some cardio in on your off days. working out is my favorite hobby, i even get to workout while i am on the job! good luck to you and stick with it.
