Diet

Another day another dollar

February 10, 2011 — 1 Comment

Well I am sitting here at work taking a quick 5 minute break and decided to get on and post up another blog.  I am beyond tired and wondering how in the world I am going to make it through the day.  Getting up super early in the morning to hit the gym and try to develop the body I need for July and then come home eat breakfast and prep food for the rest of the day just sucks and throw in on top of it working for 9 hours and I think I am in serious need of a nap.  But as they say what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger.

I do love my new job in that I can actually do things that I love to do in IT.  At other jobs they limited what you could do, but here I get to roll my sleeves up and get my hands dirty.  Which to a nerd means playing with servers and all that computer geek stuff.  Though I am by no means a total geek, but hey my favorite movie of all time is Star Wars so maybe I am, but I am bigger then you so I can laugh at you.

Hit chest this morning and have really been concentrating on getting a good stretch at the bottom of the rep and contracting at the top of the rep to really try to get all the muscle fibers shooting off.  Gotta build a huge chest if I even want to dream about one day standing on the stages of the pro league, but since that is in the distant future I am concentrating on the here and now and doing what I need to do to build my physique.  Diet is coming along great also though I am tired of green veggies, but hey I will deal with it.

Time to get back to work hope everyone has a good day and an even better night.

Saturday

Well weigh in went awesome. Officially down 4.25 lbs this week so I am really proud of that loss. Though I gotta keep going strong and just remember that the only person that can kill my goal is myself. So not going to let any mental blocks rock my losses and my muscle gain. Going to change things up a little and not actually list my routines anymore. Thinking that other people are trying to emulate my routines so no more. If ya’ll need a great trainer shoot me an email and I will hook you up with Jamie. He is a great coach and knows his stuff.

Did back routine today and really did not kill the weight, but I really let my lats stretch on everything and stressed the hell out of the contraction of the muscle. Diet is going well though I do miss a meal here and there since I started back to work finally. Gotta get better at getting all my meals in and not let things interrupt me even if it is 30 minutes later then need be. My body needs the prtein and what carbs I am allowed to eat through out the day. Thinking in the offseason I am going to create a recipe book (ebook) version for bodybuilders cause I know that our meals are so bland. I have a bunch of recipes in my mind and need to write them down. Who knows maybe I will be a famous book writer. That would be a cool thing, but I want to stay true to me and be a bodybuilder first and foremost.

I have to give a shout out to Evogen Nutrition and Hany Rambod. He is the Pro Creator for a reason and inventor of EVP and Cell KEM. You can check out his site at Evogen Nutrition.  The products he has created are the best pre and post workout supplements on the market today.  Also check out his other site FST-7.

Hope the team you want to win the Super Bowl (I am a Bears fan so I am routing for the Packers(my grandmother’s team) to win).

Countdown

Well the countdown is on to July 16th. I am down another 4lbs this week so I am doing pretty good, but official weigh in is Saturday so the only weight that counts is then. Weather outside is starting to get bad, but I have been able to do my workouts this week so far, but the today and Friday are supposed to get really bad for the Houston area.

I do have one complaint though and it is the meals. Fish, chicken or turkey for my proteins. Talk about bland and bland. I really need to develop recipes for my meals to add some flavor. Thinking of getting Chris Aceto’s recipe books he wrote with his wife. Other then that not much else is going on. Going to rename my blog though. I will be using it for other stuff then just bodybuilding.

Day 1

Well did cardio this morning on a stepmill. 50 minutes on the fat burn program kinda sucked, but I gotta get this body fat off fast so not going to think about it. Will do a 30 minute Zumba session also on the Wii. Always good to do different types of cardio.

My diet is straight forward. One meal of carbs and that is it. I get oatmeal at breakfast. So looking forward to July 17th. Then again it is really bad on your body to overload carbs right after a show so I will work up to a normal level of carbs over 2 weeks.

Also planning to take a nice vacation with my wife up to Tennessee so she can see all her friends and I can see all the spots she hung out and worked at. Never been to Nashville so I will try to find out from Nashville residents Flex Lewis or Brendan Curry where a good gym is located.

Well time to Zumba.

Food

From time to time I will post up a few meals I am eating during the week.  I will also include the recipe for them.  Most of them I have converted to my diet in regards to my lower carb requirements/higher protein requirements.  So stay tuned.

Diet Plan

September 21, 2010 — 3 Comments

Here is my diet plan as of right now. 200g of carbs on workout days and 50g on non workout days. My non days are Wednesday and Sunday.  I also want to say thank you to BSN for such great products.  I normally will throw in a shake (using Mint Chocolate right now really good) if I am still a little hungry between meals.  Normally 2 scoops of powder and water.  I will use skim milk in a shake after I workout and then 20 minutes later I will have my next meal.  I also change up my greens since I want to use a variety of greens.  I also use Epozine and Axis HT in the given cycle on the bottles.  I do like NO Explode and Cellmass, but being I am a Hany Rambod disciple I use EVP and Cell KEM for my pre and post workout products.

1 – 50 G OATS – 12 EGG WHITES (I use All Egg Whites 2 cups is equal to the 12 egg whites) 1 YOLK or 50 OATS AND 2 SCOOPS BSN SNYTHA 6 MIXED TOGETHER

2 – 50 G BROWN RICE – 8 OZ TURKEY – CUP GREEN BEANS

3- 50 G YAM – 8 OZ CHICKEN – GREEN BEANS OR ASPARAGUS

4 – SAME AS MEAL 2 OR SHAKE

5 – 8 – 10 OZ TILIPIA – BROCCOLI – LARGE SALAD W AVOCADO , A LIL OIL AND VINEGAR

6 – 12 EGG WHITES AND 1 YOLK OR SHAKE 50 G PROTEIN

Well that is it.  My diet will be changing around November since my show is in July of next year so I will move more into a pre contest mode for a few months and then contest mode starting sometime in march or the beginning of April.
