Looking great man!
Carry on with the bulking too, also can you post you're rough diet and workout please?
Thanks! Haha except for the rediculous farmers tan anyway!
That's another reason I decided to get in better shape, decided it needs to go.
I don't have a detailed diet plan day-by-day, but this is what I generally have for meals, again in no set order just whatever I feel like having or have available
Breakfast:
Oatmeal or Hot Cereal. Sometimes I'll throw some trail mix in with it
Sugar free or sometimes a low sugar cereal
2 Eggs scrambled, with a couple spoonfulls of salsa.
Whole Wheat toast w/ jelly
Fruit, i.e banana or apple
1 Glass skim milk, or just the milk w/ my cereal
And a cup of coffee... Although I've considerably cut back on drinking it since I started working out. Just doesn't suit my palate much anymore...
Lunch:
Mixed Green salad with light, low calorie dressing and perhaps some fat-free croutons
Grilled chicken breast (usually from dinner the night before)
Fruit, Trail mix, yogurt...
Dinner:
Chicken breasts, Beef of some sort (Londion Broil, Tri Tip, NY steak, etc...)
Mixed Green salad
Steamed veggies
Whole Wheat pasta w/ sauce
Snacks:
Trail mix, yogurt, granola, baby carrots, celery sticks, veggie sticks (like veggie chips, but sticks
), Kind Fruit & Nut Bars (A bit high in fat, but I like 'em), various other small stuff.
That's really a rough protrait of what I eat, as there's obviously more that I include in my diet, but those are just things I could think of off the top of my head. I'm pretty good about sticking to healthy habits, but I'm a bit of a candy fiend and sometimes have to have my fix... ha.
I generally take 1 very generous scoop of ON Gold Standard Whey in the morning with my breakfast, another in the afternoon, and again post workout. Although recently I've been taking up to 4 servings a day, just to bump up my protein intake. I'm concerned about taking too much due to the cholesterol, although it's not much in each serving it definitely adds up with each one I take. I drink those E.A.S. Myoplex drinks as well, not regularly but if I'm on the go I'll grab one from home to take with me. High in protein and a decent number of calories. I also try to stay away from as much sugary stuff as possible (minus my candy fix haha) and stay away from sodium rich stuff as well. that was actually a reccomendation from my cardiologist last year, my BP was a tad high so he said to cut back on salts, I've done a damn good job of it I might add. I see him every year, had heart surgery as an infant. You can see the scar from the surgery over my left shoulder blade in my back pics...
What I generally do for workouts:
Free weights:
Dumbbell bench press
Military Press
Dumbbell flys
Tricep dips (I think? Where you dip the weight behind your neck... Some move we learned in P.E)
Both pull ups and chin ups
Bicep curls
Squats, lunges, calf raises
Machines:
Seated rows
Overhead pull down
Tricep pull down
Tricep press
Shoulder press
Leg curls
Torso Rotation
Weighted crunches
Leg press
I also do reg. crunches, reverse crunches, sit-ups, leg raises, etc. Throw in some sets of burpees a few times a week as well. As for cardio, it's either a 2=3 mile run at home with the pooch or I bust my hump on the elliptical for 2.5-3+ miles. the ellipticals are sweet, each one has it's own TV so I can watch TV and distract myself from looking at how far I have to go hah.
Anyway, hope that's what you wanted to know. Maybe I'm doing more than I should? Like are some of my workouts cancelling others out? I know there's some stuff I'm missing, but I've got a cold and don't feel 100% right now so the brain doesn't want to work at full capacity
