Michael Lockett's Diet

[McFarland]

Michael Lockett told me he eats 3 chicken/rice meals per day, and in between them all, he eats whatever he wants.  Snickers, ice cream, potato chips, etc.  Think that'd be a good diet to follow?  If not for precontest, what about offseason?  I mean if you're gonna get in all the chicken and rice meals, you can't eat too much of the other or else you're never gonna be able to stomach it.  I think I may try this approach for awhile as I get back into my training.

no.

he is a genetic freak.


you are not.

youw ill get fat, and it might inhibit your muscular gains as well. for many people, eating junk food lowers t-levels considerably.

the more fat you put on while "bulking", the longer you have to diet, so the shorter you have to "bulk", and the more muscle you lose while dieting because you have to lose more fat.

eat clean.

Well I'm not suggesting that I could get ripped on it, but I bet it'd be a good way to make sure you had the calories to grow without an excess that'd cause you to get fat.  I mean at the end of the day, if you still have the appetite for chicken and rice then you're probably not overeating.  I guess you would just need to make sure your first and last meals of the day were the chicken and rice.  Like if you pigged out on something after your 3rd chicken and rice meal at night, then you might not be able to eat chicken and rice first thing the next morning, or not until like noon.  

Having these 3 meals as the backbone of your diet would also make it easy to transition into a real diet as you progress, too.  Like 2 months into it you could take out some of the snacks and add like oatmeal and egg whites for another couple of meals.  Or just one of them (still leaving room for just a little junk snacking), then after another month, switch over to all clean food meals.

lee priest eats ice cream, donuts and kfc in the off-season.
king kamali eats a 100% clean bodybuilders diet year round.

king kamali gets fat and ugly. lee preist does too, but not to the extent of kamali.

why? different genetics.

you are not michael lockette. you might have a fast metabolism..which is awesome.. but you dont have his levels of testosterone or ability to pack on muscle.

take the amount of calories you would be eating with the three chicken/rice meals+junk food diet; and make all of those calories from chicken/rice. or as high a proportion as you can. you will gain a whole lot more muscle, and a whole lot less fat...     then dieting time comes aroun, and you have to diet for less time, and you lose less muscle while dieting.

the benefits of eating clean in the offseason are exponential..

Yeah but man I've got issues with satiety.  You can stuff yourself with clean food and still have something missing.  Just this hole in your gut that's still empty.  I'm talking about maintenance of my sanity here.  I've tried thinking it should be possible forever now, but dude it just doesn't work for me.  Maybe I need to get my muscle mass up to a level that's near maxed out (for me) before I can eat cleaner.  But when I start back training, there's just this hunger that come on that cannot be quenched by anything clean and it drives me crazy.  I think it's a matter of me trying too much, too soon.  Like going from 2 McDonald's meals and 5 doughnuts a day to 2 oatmeal/egg white and 3 chicken/rice meals per day.  That is just too big of a switch for me.  I can't handle it.  I've always had this all or nothing mentality and I think I need to temper that quite a bit.

i have the sam all or nothing mentality. either i am addicted to something, or i dont do it at all.
what you need to do is have a nutrition realiztion. make yourself understand that eating clean foods=better mass gains and body composition. its not a myth, or a theory, or something that makes an insignificant amount of difference. its substantial.
once you understand this, it should be easy for you to focus your "all or nothing" energies into eating alot of good clean food.

[McFarland]

I'd probably be doing real good just to get in TWO clean meals per day for a while and just make sure I make it into the gym 4 days a week.  That's probably where I should start.

muscular development is the only mag worth readin....and my subscription ran out about 6 months ago..

[musclehedz]

Don't forget, guys like lockett are on T3/HGH/Clen etc. It is easier for them to cheat.

[power_n_glory]

lockett isnt natural bullshit cant get that big without juice

NO. all or nothing. dont half ass this shit.
eat clean.. every meal every day. if your still hungry, eat more chicken, or more tuna, or more steak.

4 days a week is fine if thats what works best for your body

I think the ability to become extremely conditioned is what makes you a good bodybuilder, and I honestly have never been there.  Now complicating matters is my hesitation to let myself get fat/bloated again and I'm convinced that you need "seasons" in bodybuilding to truly get shredded.  I've gotta let some things go here.      

[Andre Nickatina]

I have never had a strict diet. I eat until 3 in the morning. Ice cream... cookies (you should see how many batches of cookies I bake and eat when stoned... I wont go there now) whatever..  As long as I get 150 grams of protein im cool. I'm under ten percent fat. I wokrout hard and work ten hour days. I believe my metabolism is high as fuck though. My dad is 54 and hes still 6'2 175 under 10 percent fat and never works out. Though he is diabetic and watches his diet and eats clean for the most part. I don't know where im going with this...

There's definitely a brand of hunger that can be present that would allow you to eat a whole chocolate pie but throw up if you had to eat one more can of tuna.  Let's not act like it's as simple as you claim.  

[Camel Jockey]

Lockett substitutes colt 45 inbetween chicken and rice platters.

[candidizzle]

what you are doing is rationalizing. you are making yourself believe something because its what you want to believe. i think underneath your rationilization lies the fear that if you challenged yourself to do what your rationiliziing that you dont have to do(get your diet in order), that you wont meet up to the challenge.

ignorance is bliss....and if you have never gotten ripped or tried dieting, you still believe that you can; its just a matter of when you WANT to do it.  

heres the thing. you CAN do anything that you put you mind to. the challenge of eating clean is easy once you stare it in the face and accept it.

you can do it brotha. all or nothing....
make it happen.

All or nothing is exactly what's thrown me over the edge every time I start something up like this.  I'm looking to implement a little healthy moderation here.  The whole point of my thread is that your way doesn't work for me.  Now in the last 8-12 weeks before a show, yes, all or nothing is the only way it can be, but just starting out, all or nothing can easily put your dick in the dirt.  How do you go from 0-100 in zero seconds?

that is not hunger. that is wanting to eat. theres a big difference. fat people never get nugry...they just eat all the time because they want to. they never have the self disipline to wait untill the are hungry to eat. they eat because they want to. if you have eaten alot of good food. you are no longer hungry. you just want to eat that chocolate pie.

i heard locket can suck his own dick while fisting sevestases mom

and another story i heard is that he can fly...not very long but for a few seconds he is able to leave the ground

What the hell is "clean food" anyway? I do know what you mean, but there's really no such thing.

The main reason so-called junk food makes you fat is because it's easier to eat more calories that way. The converse is true for so-called clean foods.

BTW, junk food won't lower testosterone. The opposite is probably true. Actually lowering fat intake below 20-30% of calories will lower testosterone.

the most effective way of getting anything done is to.......do it. get it done.
no point in pussy footing around.
in the words of ronnie coleman.."aint nuthin to it but to do it"..
in the words of franklin delano roosevelt "there is nothing to fear but fear itself"..

in the words of harry truman..."the buck stops here"

[ManBearPig...]

candidate, let's see that photo of you with abs.  not contest ready, just with abs.

and you should probably try going to the gym and practice bodybuilding instead of studying it.
