Now on to the more muscular part of my posting.
My current maxes:
Bench Press: 145, Incline Bench: 110(Need to remax) Squat: 215 lbs Bicep Curl: 55, both arms Lat Pulldown: 100
I have just recently started the loading stage for the supplement called Cell Tech, I dont really have a diet but I do eat as much as I can whenever I have the chance( not positive if this is good or not) and I lift 5 out of 7 days a week, hour each day.
Would anyone have any suggestions on possibly a different supplement, lifting plans, diets, etc etc. Im very new to lifting so please throw out any suggestions that you may have that will help short/long term. I plan on being 175 by late December, hoping all muscle gain. Also I plan on starting a Ufc style training at a gym 30 minutes away at the beginning of the year.
Id very much like to hear all of your feedback and suggestions and hopefully tips/plans that would help me get the most bang for my buck and the most results for my time. Thanks! |
welcome to the dungeon Eric,
supplements are fine as long as your diet is in order FIRST, with out the proper nutrition your wasting you money on supplements, while supplements will indeed help with muscle growth, your body needs the proper intake of protein/carbs and fats for repair and growth, i have to agree with Kaboom on gaining 20lbs of all muscle in 2 months, does`nt matter what supplements you buy or how many you take even with a great diet its not going to happen,
i would say if your going to spend your money on supplements i would start with
whey protein
creatine mono
multi-vitamin
waxy maize
other than that for the time being stick with foods and eat 5-6 meals about 2-3 hour apart, get in complex carbs/protein /veggies and good fats, in each meal through out the day, below is a list of foods to choose from , have a slow digesting protein before bed such as cottage cheese or a
casein protein powder,
Protein:
Tuna or most any fish.
Cottage cheese.
Eggs (especially the whites).
Chicken breast (boneless skinless).
Turkey breast (boneless skinless).
Lean beef.
Low fat or no fat cheese.
Low fat pork.
Milk protein isolate.
Whey protein.
Soy protein.
Essentially most any other source of protein so long as it is low in saturated fat and carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates:
Sweet potatoes.
Oat meal, oat bran, oat bran cereal (i.e. cheerios).
Bran cereal.
Brown rice.
Wheat bread (try to limit to 2 slices per day).
Beans.
Low fat popcorn (low fat butter spray makes this a delicacy).
Fruits (limit to 2-3 servings per day).
Vegetables.
Stay away from refined grains and anything that says "enriched" or "high fructose corn syrup" on the label!
Fat:
Omega 3 capsules (i.e. fish oil capsules).
Flax seed oil.
Primrose oil.
Borage oil.
