2 table spoons of glutamine??? (meal 6)
I thought 3-5 grams was enough? How many grams will that be?
I would not put olive oil in my drink, take it separately
Can you explain the reason for the olive oil in with the post work-out shake. I was always under the impression that oil slows down digestion and post work out is not the time to slow down digestion is it not?
Post workout shake should be:
- No fats whatsoever
- 100% whey ISOLATE (ON's whey is mostly concentrate)
- 34 to 50 grams dextrose
- 10 to 15 grams L-glutamine
- 5 grams micronized creatine monohydrate
Also
- 1000 mg's Vitamin C (don't use time released)
- 1000 IU's Vitamin E (use dl - tocopheral; natural d - alpha is derived from wheat germ oil which has been known to raise estrogen levels)
- 200 mg's Alpha Lipoic Acid (use the r+ kind)
While your at it, consider
- 500 mg's N-acetyl L-cysteine (NAC)
- 100 mg's Proanthocyanidin's (Grape Seed Extract)
These last few antioxidants are very important to bodybuilders yet no one ever seems to talk about them.
Gunnz, you probably aren't recieving the full benefit of either the glutamine or the creatine. If the creatine wins in the battle for absorbtion you aren't gaining much benefit from the glutamine, and vice versa. Plus if you're not taking in healthy fats post workout, not as much protein will be absorbed into your muscles.
read ur bulking article.
all is good but post workout why is it whey with olive oil or yoghurt .(never heard taking efas and casien in post workout meals
i think whey with dextrose powder is better save the efa for other meals.
correct me if wrong!
Is there anything you can use to substitute for Tuna because Tuna is nasty as hell?
Why are there two meal #5's, are they both after workout meals?
I want to try this cutting diet but I'm a teacher and cannot find the time to eat that often.
So could I eat these meals:
#1 at 8am after 30 minutes of cardio
#2 at 9:20am
#3 at 11:45am
#4 at 3pm (go to the gym at 4pm)
#5 at 6pm after workout
#6 at 9pm before bed
So are these times ok?
when stated about the post workout shake for bulking up, do you mean mix the whey in with the apple juice? or seperate. i usually mix my shake with milk!
eating any fruit during a cutting diet is not a good idea.it all depends on the kind of fruit you are eating
what type of fat burners or fat burner stacks would you use with the cutting diet, if any?
Question. i just started the cutting diet about 4 days ago, and I'm super tired all the time now.
a friend of mine said that maybe the lower cal intake is the cause. any ideas?
The bulking diet is too damn clean.
nah, thats dedication bro. ;)
should be able to eat a sandwich or chicken wings.. one decent meal a day.
yeah, even more so if you have a fast metabolism.
I thought your body can only consume a certain amount of protein in one day?
How long should one run a bulking cycle? And what is a realistic amount of lean muscle mass you can put on in a bulking cycle?that mostly depends on your body !
Am thinking anything more than 16lbs of lean mass is unrealistic
DMG:
Quick question for ya...been doing a cutting phase for about 2 months.. Carb wise, I am down to one oatmeal packet for breakfast and a 40 gram carb drink for postworkout (these are the only carbs for the day excluding veggies)
I am thinking of going lower in carbs, but I'm debating upon which meal i should pull the carbs from...breakfast or postworkout?
I'm leaning towards breakfast..
I am doing 6 meals a day with enough protein and fat btw...all advice is welcome..thanks
I guess since we're asking for advice, i may as well ask about something that's been bugging me....
I'm currently getting about 90 g of carbs a day (180 lbs BW), almost entirely from 1/2 c. oats for breakfast and SF/FF pudding (maltodextrin) and grits post-workout. I feel sluggish a lot of the time as you tend to do when you're on low carb. Anyway, i've dropped to this weight of 180 from a weight of about 220 3 or 4 months ago. I'm down to about 7% bf. I'd like to cut up just a little more, but i'm thinking the carbs can't possibly go lower, nor the calories. Any ideas? I'm not doing a show, so should i just say f**k it and start gradually bulking again?
I've said it many times Havenbull. DO NOT mix glutamine and creatine in the same drink. Both of these compounds compete for absorbtion, causing one to cancel one of the other compounds out. You'll be wasting your money if you do this.
Accually since Olive Oil is an Essential Fatty Acid it helps with the absorbtion of protein. Also, in a bulking diet it helps add some extra calories.

Thanks to Jackel for his hard work in putting together this diet.
hmmmmm...
both of those diets seem to contain to many calories..
and the bulking diet has you consuming too much prtotein at one time, cutting diet has too many carbs.
no mention of a ketogenic diet or a high fat low carb bulking diet???
Please dont tell me your using Apple Juice when their are products like Vitargo out
I am all for the protein diet and cardo workout; however; I just can't break away from a hot cup (3 actually) of dark rich coffee with 2 teaspoons of sugar and a splash of whole milk... additionally, as now in the winter down season, I really enjoy 2 cups of Hot Chocoloate with a pinch of cinnmon.. killer for the diet..but man it tastes good..any suggestions as a supplement?

I think it's good for losing fat, but not building muscle. That's why I said "cutting diet."It won't be cutting fat, just muscle.
