Your Vegas Diet and Work Out Plan aka "GTL" Thread

[Guest]

To put on the mass bro, you have to take 1-1.5g of protein per body weight. For example, if you weigh 100, you should have b/w 100 - 150 grams per day. Try drinking Monster Milk RTD shakes ... 45g of protein per serving and it has creatine in it as well to give you that extra growth.

I looked it up on here:

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/calpro.htm

wow I m taking way not enough proteins per that site. Is it just me, it that site seems to exagerate the amount you need?

[Hinduhammer]

Well im a biochem major, work in an athletic training facility, personally from work ive done in the class/ lab and what my bosses have told me at work, the 1 to1.5 grams protein per lb is good, but consuming more than 30 grams protein in one sitting is too much for your body to digest/break down and you end up pissin it out and wastin it. Just my 2 cent...

btw, royale im gujrati altho i get mistaken for punjabi a lot cause im a pretty big guy and i like sportin beards =)

I probably agree with Hinduhammer about the taking no more that 30-40g in one serving.

But it's true that you'll be shocked about how much protein you really need to be at your optimum. I was supposed to be having shakes 2/3 times a day, plus a couple of chicken breasts, plus tuna, etc..you basically have to be eating the right things all day! A guy I know even sets his alarm to wake up at 3am and have a protein shake so it feeds his muscles in his sleep.

I'm also on the creatine to try and pack on some more muscle..its more for asethic purposes but hopefully it's do the job for the pool parties. Royale - sorry bro I totally missed your creatine question - basically any shake / supplement with Creatine Monohydrate in it is a winner..

[Mr.Vegas]

Yeah I agree with you all ... creatine is good but make sure you just take it in pure form because all of the fruit mixes etc add too much sugar.

I read somewhere that does happen! Im glad I didn't follow the calculator on bodybuilding.com, its asking me to eat about 50-60 calories a sitting per day.

Nice to meet you I m punjabi, but I got plenty of gujrati friends in socal. You guys have the longest weddings ever, but the food is great!

Alright, I will see if my shakes contain that in them. So far I have been taking Optimum Nutrition and Dymatize Elite Gourmet Whey protein.

If anyone has considered doing p90x i say go for it!! my brother started around the time we went to vegas for mdw, and he sent me a before he started and a picture he took over this past weekend, and i've got to say, he is RIPPED. It works and now i am considering it as well. He is not taking any supplements it's all about his diet and the workout. It is the truth!

Oh yea, i heard about p90x and I know for certain it works. But the thing is I don't have all the equipment. I know you need the adjustable weights and a couple of other things to follow those vids. They are hardcore and do push you to the max. My 24 fitness membership is going to have to do for now. If you think about it, its almost like a pool party when you go to the gym Unfortunately not as much hotties in thongs at the gym..

Hahaha lol. Nice ... but I agree, a lot of hotties at the gym working out.

P90 is some hard shit but works if you follow it and eat clean as well.

I heard p90x is so hardcore that you are guarantee to throw up the first few times you do it.. it pushes you to the max like the first day and your body just gets used to it.

P90x netted me some big results as well.

Oh really? I didn't even know you used it. Did you complete the program?

yeah almost all of it... pretty significant difference, from before and after

That whole muscle confusion thing actually works great! So you have a 6 pack like Mel B at Wet Republic?

[Guest]

One day I will!!!

Shitload of cardio and resistant training + eating clean will make it possible. Slamming down the proteins the last couple days has been working for me. Increase in bicep and back size without increase in waist. I will throw in an Ab work out today though just to make myself feel better.
