DG4L's Exercise/Nutrition Support!

Strongly agree with this and -500 cal of your maintence

 

Read everything. Your story is very interesting and you made good progress.
What are your stats as of today ? ( Weight loss and everything! )

I do bodybuilding too and I am happy to see people that want to bulk up (gain weight) or loose weight/fat.

If you guys do proper exercises and diet and maybe some essential supplements on top of that, you will achieve your goals.

If you have any questions on bodybuilding, you can private message me.

 

Sorry but 10% is pretty much a guarantee of abs, if you don't have abs then every other part of your body should be looking VERY lean.

And no I will not trust you when you say you have done everything. You've only been at this for 2 years, you're still learning. Doing and trying everything just makes you sound like one of the obese ladies who "try" diets for a week and then give up or swap.

I'm not trying to hate. Just gotta realize this is a marathon, not a sprint. No one has complete knowledge after 2 years or even 10 years.

I would rather see every person here who is genuinely interested in any type of body building to be referred to http://forum.bodybuilding.com for solid information. No hate to sythe but this forum is comprised primarily of guys aged 12-25 who's main focus is video games. When you first start out at bodybuilding you will believe almost anything you hear/read and I just don't think this is the correct forum for people to get their information from.

 

I SWEAR i have seen your pictures on 4chan's /fit/ DG4L
anyway, would you reccomend me going on a 2 minute noodle diet?
Its eating about 2-4, 2 minute noodles a day, and only drinking noodles.

 

Unfortunately you're right, and I've already been talked to by Penn on this issue. I'm a member on bodybuilding.com as well, but the community is less sociable compared to Sythe, that's why I was hoping to start something here. Hopefully in the coming months, more members will want to start weight lifting, but until then this thread will have to do. I really would like to see a Diet and Fitness forum eventually.

What about fruits/vegetables? Meats? Dairy? If you're doing this to lose weight, I would recommend against this. Your body needs vitamins/nutrience that real food provides. Instant noodles are packed with sodium and there's literally no nutritional value - you might as well be eating cardboard. I answered a similar question on page 3:

 

Add my msn in sig. Please

 

I havent checked yet, i took the last week off my workout/diet + i went to palm springs which made my diet worse, so 2moro im going back on track.

I am 10% BF and still have no abs, it is your choice to believe me or not. And maybe i havent tried everything but ive tried a shit load of stuff. I know people with lower BF % that have abs that are barely being seen. So i know your not hating, just giving your thought about the topic, but im doing this not to show off but to motivate others.

I'm against it. And i would have given you a reason why but it seems like simple has answered that for me on my vacation absence.

Thanks for keeping this on track while i was gone

 

You should post a new picture of yourself without a shirt on. Like Kabal said, at 10% bf you should be able to see your abs. Would you be willing?

 

As i said, i cant see my 6 pack even with 10% BF...BUT i will post a new picture up in 2 weeks. I like using a time frame within pictures to not overdue the result pictures, but i will in 2 weeks i promise. and if i dont remind me lol Also, I will try to get pictures of me training like i stated before its just i havent had the time to look for some. Thanks

 

Bump Guys

 

I'll be starting a new routine Monday. Doing a 3 month bulk followed by a 3 month cut. Looking to go from 150 > 190 lbs and then 190 > 170 lbs. Goals include: Benching 225 lbs, Curling 45 lbs (dumbbells), Deadlifting 250 lbs. I'll post my routine on Monday. I'm also gonna start a workout thread and update it regularly. Looking for lots of support to keep motivated.

 

Quinoa is good. I suggest mixing it with spaghetti sauce instead of the spaghetti. It tastes like noodles this way.
You can substitute it for rice in meals to, it tastes great!

 

Very Nice! Let me know if you need any help!

Ya Quinoa is amazing!

 

well some motivation would be I deadlift 400lbs and i only 132lbs (60kg)

 

haha nice some competition/motivation going on

 

I'm talking about straight leg deadlift, not the pussy shit where you put weights on a safety bar and lift with a 2cm motion... But that is kinda motivating, thanks.

Aight here's the routine. CBA to make a goals thread today, maybe another week:

Sat/Sun off. (Leg workout every other Sat)

Goal is 3.5k cal, 200g pro, 500g+ carbs, 100g+ fat p/d. Supps = creatine, SP250, multi, amino's, whey, casein. Only taking powders if I can't eat real food (college and all)...

Yay for me.

 

Simple i like your routine i used to do that, but being a fighter now i am less motivated to get bigger but rather pack a nice body with a nice punch behind it all, so now i do timed sets instead of long heavy workouts...for example: if i do a bicep curl, i do 12 reps 3 sets with 3 seconds on the way up and 3 seconds on the way down. its harder than it sounds, trust me and all my workouts have supersets

 

Not sure if srs, no one i train with uses a safety bar for deadlifts. Range of motion is a lot more then 2cm as well.

 

There are many variations of deadlifts. I am talking about these kind. I am assuming you are talking about these kind. If you are talking about the kind in the first video, then I'm gonna call you out and say you're a fraud, because no one who weighs 132lbs can deadlift 400lbs correctly.

If you're using a machine and the weight says you're doing 405lbs, chances are you're actually doing 205lbs.

 

This could be true, machines often say a certain weight but weight and feel much lighter
