Eat much, much more and do less cardio.

MrGum · 02-06-2008, 08:23 PM

Thanks Megatron. I am eating much better now - and seeing the benefits.

All the best mate, it's a long road - but worth it

Folk fearing fat face failing physiques

I will stick a TM or C on that and leave you to have a think/fink what it means

MrGum · 03-06-2008, 03:58 PM

I get it. I am eating lots!
I weigh 12 stone and I was 11st 3lbs on April 14th (when I started to get a bit more serious about this thing).

Good man, sounds like the muscle is piling on mate. Keep at it!

MrGum · 03-06-2008, 09:51 PM

Haven't been running since Friday. Not deliberate, just no time.

So, only cardio has been walking the dog (about 1.5 to 2 hours daily).

No lifting today, so I thought I'd focus on diet.

Calories
meal 1: 100g oats 360
meal 2: 60g oats 220
meal 3: lentil soup 182
meal 4: handful of nuts and fruit 260
meal 5: beans 300
snack: peanut butter and oat bar ?? (115grams)
meal 6: family stir fry and tofu 1835 (whole pack of tofu

)
bedtime: scoop plus glucose 306

total >3478

The peanut butter and oat bar also contains protein powder and syrup - loads of goodness (homemade)!

I've been laying off the bread a bit!

That's a lot of food

skizxi · 03-06-2008, 11:34 PM

If I were you Id up the protein

MrGum · 04-06-2008, 03:43 PM

After my session at the gym, I've realised I can push a bit harder.

Bent Over Row - went from 43.5 to 50 - did seven sets of 5 ramping up.
Military Press - from 33.5 to 35 7 sets of 5, ramping up.
Upright Row 5 at 36, 5 at 36, then 3x5 at 37.5
Good Mornings - couldn't add to 52kg - did 4x10

Happy with that!

megatron · 04-06-2008, 04:13 PM

Excellent progress mate, incredible how when you put the right fuel in what your body can do!

chrisj22 · 04-06-2008, 04:15 PM

Very good progress, mate.

Keep going.

MrGum · 04-06-2008, 04:32 PM

Thanks guys!

fozyspilgrims · 07-06-2008, 01:45 PM

I agree with the more protein mate aim for about 1.5-2.0 grams of protein per pound of body weight. I would guess around 200-250 grams per day for you.

MrGum · 07-06-2008, 06:12 PM

Not been running at all this week. I am doing GCSE marking (oh my god - never again) so I haven't got much time for anything.

I am still walking the dog and lifting weights, so I should be okay for three weeks (til it has to be done). I will probably benefit in terms of muscle from the lack of running

Anyway - still making some progress.

Military Press. Did 6 sets of 5, ramping up to 37 (1kg up from Wed)
Floor Bench Press. 5x5 at 55kg (1.5 kg up from last week)
SLDL - realised I can do much more than I had been trying. 5x5, last 3 80kg.
Squat: 20 rest-pause 53kg (1kg up from last wk)
Sumo Squat 20 rest-pause 53kg (1kg up from last wk)

So, I have reached one of my "goals" - to deadlift more than I weigh.
New target, 100kg deadlift.
Still aiming for bodyweight on Bench, pretty sure I'll squat it on Monday, so I'll set a target of 100kg for them too.

Not gonna weigh myself til Monday

want to use the machine at Boots and keep an eye on body-fat.

MrGum · 09-06-2008, 09:44 AM

Just weighed myself.
I have stayed the same weight (12stone 0lbs)
My bodyfat has gone down from 22.0% to 21.3%.
I am fairly happy with that, this week I will eat a bit more though, as I want to keep putting on a bit per week.

Going to the gym later.
