Current Goals / Progress

[matt_vtr_15a]

With summer fast approaching no doubt a few of us are currently progressing towards goals set.

What's everyone currently striving towards or achieved soo far this year??

This section is dying we need to re-assemble!!

[Giraffe]

Eat shit food, as much as possible.

Achieving my goals admirably.

I'm debating doing a routine of nothing but loaded carries... Just got nowhere to do them really.

[L33h]

Nothing atm. Working away down london again for a few month

[SimpleJoee]

Started jumping into my cutting phase now, already feel like drowning myself.

Dropped majority of my carbs, no more bread/pasta (still keeping da rice).
Meals normally consist of:

Breaky - 5 Egg whites, 40g Protein shake, Banananana + an apple if it's there
Break before lunch - Tuna + Sweet corn (not sure on grams etc)
Lunch - 400(or so)g Chicken Breast with 2 Cups of brown rice + 1 cup of green beans
Afternoon Break - 40g Protein shake + Portion of grapes
Tea times - 400(or so)g Chicken Breast with 2 Cups of brown rice + 1 cup of broccoli
Post gym (8/9ish) - 40g Protein shake + another bananana

I'll stick to this diet plan near enough, mainly because I'm not a big fan of fish (other than tuna), and lean beef etc aren't too cheap compared to Chicken Breast!

Not gym related but my goal for summer is to climb ben Nevis and complete the Glas Maol circuit.

Will be quite an achievement for me in the heat.

Your eating too much protein for breakfast mate, you only need between 40 - 45 so any extra is going to waste i.e. wieight gain

Never really though about breakfast too much like that if I'm honest!
Probably just switch it up to one scoop instead of two for the proteins then :y:
Just habit because when I wasn't eating egg whites I'd do the same

I just have a protein shake before training in the morning and that doe's me, depend's on what your looking to do though i.e. cut / gain.

Looking to cut down big time now, drop the water and tighten up etc

[Giraffe]

Why not just forget the shake and keep the yolks?

I know it's a hard diet but I lost most of my weight with low carb's / low fat's.

My diet was:

- Protein shake for breakfast
- 150g Chicken / brocilli / spices and finger chillis
- 150g Chicken / brocilli / spices and finger chillis
- 150g Chicken / brocilli / spices and finger chillis
- 150g Chicken / brocilli / spices and finger chillis
- Cassein protein powder before bed

Yolks are bad, folks.

I could easily stick with Chicken + Broccoli, genuinely love the stuff!
Can't eat it dry though, always gotta have me a bit of Jack D' Sauce ;)

[Ryancoyle]

Yolk's are very good as there a source of good fat.

Can be ideal for cutting as you can use high good fat's before bed.

That's why I add spice, I add chilli powder, chilli flakes and salt / pepper.

Might have to give that a try, I've had Chilli sauce before and that tasted pretty sweet :y:

All sauce's usually have carb's in them so I tend to stay away from them all lol.

I can gurentee you if you stick to the diet you'll lost fat / cut in no time.

I'll quit cold turkey when I'm closer to Summer again, but for this time of year I just try to cut the majority down :boxing:

[jw1325]

Stick to my fucking macros and shift the rest of this fat, so you can start to see the fruits of my hard work.

You're going to flood the forums with filthy pictures, or post pics of boxing/equestrian trophies? Or both?

[smiith]

Weighed myself and stuff today.. 161lb, and 16.2% body fat.. Want to get the fat down quite a bit, but having a lot of friends who work on the rigs, the main thing they want to do socially is go out to eat, and go out drinking.. The drinking i can easily turn down, but when they eat out, i can't help but get something.. So a bit of a bastard to get cut!

How did you guess?

[matt_vtr_15a]

Good to see different approaches of folk.

Not totally in agreement of the maximum meal protein intake though, When i intermittent fast I consume in some cases literally 100g+ protein in a meal. If your body needs it, it will utilise it.

At the moment I'm pretty much maintaining slowly gaining weight but my body fat is constant or dropping a touch every other week.

Still eating A LOT of carbs to, i'll continue to intermittent fast but drop carbs and up my fat intake to get shredded for summer.

Aslong as your hitting your daily macro profile have 6 meals or 2 whatever suits you personally and your lifestyle.

I personally find 2 meals best for me plus an intra workout shake, gives me a good 14 hour of no food so I can do fasted cardio. Definitely the easiest way for me to nail my macros, and gain mass whilst staying lean.

I weighed in at over 18 stone today, been eating and training like a horse. Bodyfat is down at that as well :y:

DAT DER CREATINEEEEE

(iJOKE)

What you training for? Sounds like a recipe for some competitive powerlifiting shit right there.

Being super alpha turbo hench man.

plus getting all the bitches ;)

On a serious note, 18 stone is pretty stocky like, good going. I'm nearly 14. It may not be muscle.

I always lift as heavy as I personally can but honestly it's a country mile off Powerlifting standard especially for the weight class i'd be in. One of my mates weighs about 14.5 stone and he is stronger than me, however he is considerably shorter.

I find for some exercises being tall with long arms and legs can be a hindrance, each rep seems to last forever in comparison to some of my Manlet sized friends that only seem to have a fraction of the rep i do (not an excuse)

I do lift for appearance over strength, whilst i like progressing up the weights etc. I'd rather be the bodybuilder type over the powerlifter type.

Exactly!! That is honestly initially why I started lifting, all i used to think about was railing as many girls as possible. Now I do it for myself and my own enjoyment.

I am 6'2 which helps contribute to my weight. At around 16.5 stone i'm very lean, bit of a water boy at the moment like so retaining a few lbs from that plus I need to cut about a stone of body fat then i should be summer ready :y:

Aim is to be as big and lean as possible for about July/August, got 3 x 1 week holidays planned over 6 weeks so that's my deadline date.

I'm Seeing a tidy personal trainer at the moment, she competes in bikini class and her dad competes as a bodybuilder professionally and recently won an over 50's comp. There both helping a lot and have got my diet and training tidied up which i'll be starting from Monday.

Keto diet will be started again as I get lean soo fast on that diet in comparison to eating carbs, still comes off but just takes longer for me.

I'm nearly 14 also but 6 ft 1 and most of it is cock weight.
