peanutbutter and fruitjuices alone seem to work best for am workout

[Marty Champions]

but peanutbutter doesnt work so well producing immediate energy in evening or night because of beans and rice /wheat pancakes have been consumed...if peanutbutter is consumed later after these meals it causes lethargy or a non energitic feel when eating it

right now im doing weighted pushups with a 40 pound back pack, i weight 277 right now but when i just put my hands on the scale and my 40 pound backpack on it says im pressing 225 pounds under my palms in sets of 10 so im fairly pleased with that. this goes to show that you dont need a gym to lift decent weights. hopefully i can modify this backpack to hold more weight

weighted pushups seem much safer on the joints and sholders because you have to use/strengthen more stabilizer muscles

i think wheat pancakes are best for evening along with fruitjuices but no fat or peanutbutter fat

i do find fat can be helpful at work up till about 4 to 4:30pm oclock but no later

What effect does the pushups with weight have on your speed and punching ability Falcon?  In the past you done them with no weight.

past month after my am run, I drink at least 32 oz of the tropicana 50 percent less Orange Juice.

never have done weighted pushups before, but doing them can only produce good results. i want to modify my backpack to hold more weight because if i added more to this backpack it would shurley rip the strap

im finding the peanutbutter and fruitjuices are what works best in the am!

yesterday i was eating whole wheat pancakes with agave syrup, i still have energy from it but too much of a 'full' sensation on my stomach wich slowed me down

is that a diet orange juice?

if so why not just by the regular and drink more water
 
i do agree the fruit juices are essential, just no wheat or cereal grains in the morning save them for lunch time and early evening and night along with juices but no peanutbutter

I need some doctoring on my oatmeal pancakes.

yea its 50 percent less sugar and calories. I drink alot of water throughout the day. It's the first thing I do when I get home from my am workout. My carb eating is in the am, it's what works for me to maintain

[The Showstoppa]

I HAVE to have carbs in the am, or I run out of gas mid-morning.

Ignore the haters Falcon, like you, I train at home as well, and like you I do weighted push-ups. At the moment I can do 6 reps with 80 pounds added on my back. And your right that it's easier on the joints. I had a bad shoulder injury playing hoops about 6 years ago, and these push-ups are much easier on my shoulder than barbells and/on dumbells. By the way, add some wide grip weighted chins to your routine, and then you will develop some true Falcon wings

last saturday i ate a big bowl of fresh blueberries and rasberries, whey and milk, a piece of 85% dark chocolate, and a little coffee

2 hours later i lifted and had the best workout i can remember....tons of aggressive energy where i couldn't get enough of the
lactic pain

some people may say it was the caffeine, but i know it wasn't that because i have used it many times before and got nothing
but shaky workouts

not sure if it was the food combo or not, but i sure think so!

listen young lady, you need the natural sugars of an orange, this will not hurt you. if you are worried about too many sugars/calories just water down the regular kind

I eat enough fruits and veggies in the am and late am.

Young lady?? Thanks for that

the diet only works if it can be utilized everyday

that is the problem with chocolate/caffiene/coffee because they stimulate all the energy to be used right then and there, there is no carryover to the next day, the effect is progressivley weakend, the product must be used more and more to a point of diminishing results and ultimate failure of


best to avoid stimulants all together , and really find/try what foods work for you. good luck

if you have the best workout of your life for one day that means absolutley nothing, and tells you nothing how well or bad a diet is working

the true test of a perfect diet non calorie restrictive eating plan is if it gives you that same bountiful energy everysingle day

[dj181]

Did you see my post Falcon? Add some weighted Chins to your training. And yeah man, carbs are cool, but if one is trying to get shredded, then it's best to take them down. Science says 100 carb grams per day are needed for optimal brain functioning. Carbs are brain fuel.

It all depends on your activity level, Falcon stands all day best I understand he would need more carbs and cals say than a office worker so relevant to activity = its all math fat loss or fat gain and energy.

[dj181]

So are you saying dat "A calorie is a calorie" Mr N

[Marty Champions]

more calories=more potential energy to do shit and workout

animal fat calories are not very effective in the longrun for energy they might work initially but not a good staple

[Mr Nobody]

Yes but if you are talking health its a whole different ballgame.

i agree...i didn't mention that my workouts have not had energy lately because i am always in a slight deficit...i never feel as
good working out when dieting...but that would be obvious

this was the first time in a deficit that i have had that level of intensity

you need more carbs than the average person if you want to be above average

yes weighted chins are good too

right now im just doing barbell hacksquats and weighted pushups
