This is correct, but it's still not enough for building pecs. They're a large muscle group, you need other exercises to build them or you're never going to be able to.m3thod wrote:

tbh honest weight free workout are awesome. I am currently doing as part of my brazilian jiu jitsu training, it was developed as they were no decent gyms in brazil when it became popular in the 40's...

Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.
Id say I do about 3x30 3 times a week.
Not numbering in the millions then.

There's no real need to hit the gym IMO. Just get a decent set of dumbells and you can do everything else almost on your own. I've been learning some new stuff for me, 'Turkish get up' is a good one.m3thod wrote:

the variety of weights and equipment coupled with extensive knowledge of your fellow gym monkeys make it worthwhile. If your gym also has classes be it spin or MMA/Jiu Jitsu/Muy Thai ever better.
plus nothing better than the steam room/sauna after a workout.

It's so much more convenient at a gym. You can do ANY exercise, and change weights as quick as you can pick up a different one. Makes it worthwhile IMO.
For the price it isn't for me.

hey guys! So I decided to do amateur bodybuilding at the Rocky Mountain competition this March. I dont know the exact date but I have made up my mind to do it. So Im going to gain as much weight as possible then 12/14 weeks out the conditioning starts. I have a "team" of nutritionists/trainers, my wife, sister, and their competition trainer Dan Wells.
So was wondering if you guys would be interested in me perhaps reserving a few posts to do a "Sonder's Road to the Rocky" series. It would kinda be a mini blog of my thoughts, feelings, diet, and workout program leading up to the moment I step on stage in March. Yay, nay???

yea. I should have my diet plan this week. I do ok now, but Im having my wife and Dan make a new one for me specifically for prepping for contest. I will take pics probably monthly. So we can see the progression from the bulk, the cut, to stage ready. Im fucking hella nervous and excited at the same time. Also, need to decide if Im going to use any gear......Jebus wrote:

So, this is my current 'diet'; any comments?
7h30 : Breakfast : 2-3 scrambled eggs, some toasts, perhaps another sandwich, some fruit, or some cornflakes when I'm lazy to prepare anything else
10h00 : First snack: Usually a piece of fruit
12h30: Lunch: 5 sandwiches, usually switch around the 'filling'(?) every few days, sometimes turkey, sometimes chicken, usually add one with cheese too etc.
16h00: Second snack, pre-work out: Usually a piece of fruit again, like a banana.
<workout>
After workout: Protein shake, usually
18h00: Dinner, whatever mom makes me (always healthy tho) with a doubled amount of vegetables.
21h00: 200-300g of Quark (cottage cheese)
Carrying water with me all day, still feel like there's some gaps though, where I could use something to nibble on (like before workout/after lunch..)
How does that sound?

its not bad, you're eating about five times. What is quark?
Wasn't too sure on the translation of that one.. Does cottage cheese sound more familiar?
Also, those timings are rough, it's all going to depend on my class schedule of next year..

It looks like every 2.5 hours which is about right. All in all its a good bulking diet man.Jebus wrote:

Yes, cottage cheese is familiar! Lol.

Ah, well, cottage cheese it is
I think most of that diet is pretty much determined. Breakfast quality will depend on how much I can care to bother in the morning, dinner depends on what my mom makes. She cooks great and healthy, knows what's bad and good so that meal should be fine
Also, forgot to add I'll steadily build up GOMAD, however 3.7liters of milk a day still sounds like a shitload of milk to me!

Problem is that I have yet to find a Belgian store that sells Cottage Cheese, most of them only stock 'Frech Skimmed Quark'. It's more or less the same, contains 'slow' protein for the night, so it'll have to do
I don't agree with your lunch. Too many carbs and too little protein and goodness. You want to have vegetables and good solid protein.
I advise Tuna, or something similar for lunch, with tomatoes, peas or whatever else you can find.
Also, snacks should be two things, not just a piece of fruit. Try eating a bag of nuts (preferably almonds or pine nuts or something like that. Not peanuts) and a fruit, and then as the other snack take some salad and a fruit. Mix it up.

Alright, good tips. Problem is I'm still a scholar so I have to prepare my lunch in the morning and keep it with me all day, that's why I go for the sandwiches. I agree that I could add some salad on my turkey sandwich for example. Tuna sounds great aswell.
My snack used to consist of variants of cookies combined with a piece of fruit, I figured I could just drop the first without really replacing it with anything else. Any other suggestions of snacks?
edit; oh yeah, this is for bulking, just to be sure.
