Tom (Rendition) Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 15/11/2011 Bench 20kg x 12 40kg x 12 50kg x 4 Not impressed, guess that's what happens when you don't train for 2-3 weeks I think it must be your diet or something :s. When I started working out, I went to Australia for a month and didn't lift the whole time. I got back and my Db bench had only dropped by 2kg on each side :s. I work 6 days a week too. Just keep your workouts short but intense, 16 sets is enough. Make sure all the exercises are compound, and make sure you hit them hard.

Adam|Spakka Posted November 17, 2011 Author Posted November 17, 2011 Sucks tbh, might buy some high calorie protein/carb shake to start taking at work for easy calories, have no time/effort to be eating properly atm :/
Steroids Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 yeh more like no effort. not hard to pre-prepare meals.
Reevesy Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 yeh more like no effort. not hard to pre-prepare meals. lol he does cooking course too.. fucking win win situation
Adam|Spakka Posted November 18, 2011 Author Posted November 18, 2011 Pre-prepare meals with no money to buy food? Nice1.
Steroids Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 lol reevesy knows all the very cheap bulk food. surprised he not told u.
Reevesy Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 lol reevesy knows all the very cheap bulk food. surprised he not told u. I have and its stickied. and he gets £95 a week apprenticeshp just talking rammel any excuse now
Tom (Rendition) Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Buy a fat bag of pasta, a few bars of cheese, some peanuts, milk and you are good.
Tris Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Couscous/brown rice/brown pasta/whole grain bread are all relatively cheap forms of carbs, can buy bulk for cheaper in most countries. Peanuts/Peanut Butter, cheap forms of healthy fats and decent protein intake. Cans of tuna are cheap forms of protein intake, good fats too. Taking a can of tuna somewhere or spending 20 minutes preparing a few days meals is worth it in the long run. Bag of large peanuts, few cans of tuna, box of couscous and large tub of peanut butter with a loaf of wholegrain bread costs me under $15 for the majority of the time and lasts me 4th days with the exception of having dinner made at home by parents which is usually chicken/rice/veges or something like that.
Adam|Spakka Posted November 18, 2011 Author Posted November 18, 2011 I don't get 95 quid a week lol.. i get one 30min break at work, always busy, max meals ill be able to start having when i get paid is 4 a day, morning, break, after work, before bed
Steroids Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 yh and? make sure those meals are full of ur required nutrients / 3k+ calories. the standard 6 meals is not required at all, just enlarge the others.
Tom (Rendition) Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 My understanding is that if you are trying to bulk; 3 large meals is better. If you have frequent smaller meals it speeds up your metabolism (not what you want if you are bulking). amiwrong?
Tris Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 There's quite a lot of debate around that topic Tom, however most people in the end agree that consistency is the key and the difference in gains between different meal amounts is minimal as long as you hit your macros. ( I read quite alot of articles when I'm bored :rolleyes:)
Reevesy Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 just dont get fucking hungry if ur bulking thats my theory.
Adam|Spakka Posted November 19, 2011 Author Posted November 19, 2011 Amazing day today tbh 19/11/2011 Sprinted .5 miles to gym this morning... had some inspiration from Kai Greene's videos for this workout, concentrating on form and getting full contraction and stretch of the muscles etc, not so much about weights.

Steroids Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 watch the cardio if ur trying to build muscle lol, those calories r vital!
Adam|Spakka Posted November 19, 2011 Author Posted November 19, 2011 yea i know lol, i try to keep it to a low intensity ima start eating properly again on the 30th of this month (payday), with 1-2 workouts a week, anybody know of any good full upper body workout programmes? I was thinking like deadlift & bench, then like 1-2 isolations for every upper body muscle group.

Adam|Spakka Posted December 14, 2011 Author Posted December 14, 2011 14/12/2011 Just looked in mirror this morning and eyed out some of the more lacking muscle groups in my epicly lacking upper body.
