Mike's Training Log

here is mine more or less

1)chicken or some other meat or tuna, banana, about 500 ml of milk 1.5% fat and reduced lactose
2)again some meat+and some veggies
3)again some meat+brown rice before workout
4)again some meat+chocolate milk after workout
5)again some meat+some veggies+apple
6)again some meat+some veggies
7)cottage cheese and maybe some meat

generally the only bad thing about eating so much meat is that it costs heck of a lot compared to carbs for example.

if you have the money then you can do it, since you seem to have the time

but what you said in your last post is quite an improvement compared to cookies :slight_smile:

http://www.calorie-count.com/

use this site if you wonder what your food has (calories, protein, carbs, fat etc) and dont forget to see how much food it measures there! like 85 grams or 1 ounce or whatever cause its not the same for all the foods you’ll search for there.

I have a protein shake that has 36g of protein per half serving. I usually had 1.5 servings a day. I don’t take it anymore, though, becuase I’m lactose intolerant and I’ve noticed that lactaid pills upset my Crohn’s disease when I am recovering from a flare up, which I’m doing now.

Pretty soon I’m going to start drinking my protein shake again, which is enough protein for 3 meals. The other two will be breakfast and dinner. Dinner I will have chicken/steak, and breakfast will be eggs and eggwhites. I can also add tuna in there somewhere. I’ll bring veggies/fuits for school, and eat them during the day. I’ll also drink water as often as I can. Is that a good plan?[/quote]

That’s certainely a step in the right direction. If you have problems with lactose PM me your email for some help with alternative sources. Instead of veggies/fruits for school(or in addition to) bring something substantial that you can eat quick. Get some canned chicken breast or tuna, make a chicken/tuna sandwich with some light mayo and maybe some lettuce and tomato on toast and put it in a ziplock baggie, munch it down between classes. Bring some protein powder in a shaker bottle, fill it with water, shake like hell and down it, eat some nuts or fruit afterwards. Buy some protein meal replacement bars if you find one you like without much crap in it. Having at least a decent breakfast lunch and dinner with some protein snacks in between will have you head and shoulders above most people your age.

I don’t think I could even fit all that meat into my stomach hah. I’m 15, though, so my parents pay for my food, so I can afford it. Thanks for the site, I’m sure it will help.

That seems like a lot of food throughout the day. I can only eat in my period one class, my other teachers won’t let me. I’ll focus mainly on my breakfast, lunch, and dinner first, then I’ll work on getting as much protein as I can into my snacks.

When I went down on the fifth one I felt an immense pain in my chest. Almost like my torso was spliting down the middle, what can I do to fix this? Is it normal?

you can only eat a little meat with each meal, it doesnt have to be 500grams.

but at your age, i’d say eat anything haha.

A lot of younger people have pains with dips, so it’s fairly normal. My guess is it has to do with the structure still being somewhat pliable at your age(because you are still growing probably). As far as what you can do to fix it I don’t really know it pretty much just goes away after awhile assuming you don’t damage yourself along the way.

I got your PM Mike but my email is down for the day so I’ll get back to you tomorrow hopefully.

Should I just stop doing dips for a week or two?

The pain should dimish after you get used to it, but if it continues to hurt too much just change to a different exercise. I would love to see you adopt some sort of structure to your training so you could simply add and subtract where necessary.

If you had say an A and B upper body day and an A and B lower body day you could alternate them, know what’s coming next, know what you have to try to do better on etc, just a suggestion.

I’m going to start 35 for hypertrophy once my gym membership expires (I’m going to renew it).

No idea what that is, but if it’s a plan and you think it’ll work then have at it. I’ll be sending your email shortly, almost forgot haha.

I meant 25 for hypertrophy. I went to edit and changed it but it hasn’t changed.

It’s cool Mike, doesn’t really matter. It’s a Waterbury plan right? You’ll do fine, just keep working on that diet and getting stronger.

I’m not sure who made it.

Speaking of getting stronger…

I got the email. Thanks. I havn’t decided yet on if I’m going to get the product you suggested or not to get it yet. I have a lot of protein powder, though, from before. I’m probably going to use it, then go with the powder you suggested.
