For all the fitness/nutrion/health freaks on here...what's yours? I'm currently into an almost-religious routine that I started in November 2011: DIET 7:30am-wakeup Protein-shake (low-carb, slow-release) x 350ml - Peanut butter (0% sugar) x 1 tblspn 8:45am Egg-whites x 4 - Muesli cereal x 300g Flaxseed x 1 tblspn - Wholemeal toast x 2 - Multi-Vitamin supp. caps x 2 11:30am Tuna-fish x 250g - Salad - Water x 700ml 2:00pm Chicken/Turkey breast x 250g - Steamed vegetables - Wholemeal bread x 1 - Water x 700ml 4:00pm Banana x 1 5:30pm: Pre-workout Creatine caps x 4 (pyruvate/monohydrate) - Gutomine/amino acid x 1tblspn/200ml water 7:15pm: Post-workout Creatine caps x 3 (pyruvate/monohydrate) - Protein-shake x 350ml (low-carb, quick release) 7:45pm Chicken breast / Tuna-fish x 3000g - steamed mixed vegetables - brown rice x 1/2 mug - Water x 700ml 10:00pm-bedtime Protein-shake x 350ml (low-carb, slow-release) - Almond butter x 1tblspn TRAINING 5 days per week, 2 days off: Weights Back / Biceps Chest Triceps Shoulders / Triceps or Biceps Legs I'll train 2 days on, 1 day off and I'll mix up the muscle-groups every 3 weeks, i.e. chest + triceps, back + biceps, then I'll switch everything around and re-arrange the types of excersises as well, i.e. I'll increase/decrease reps and sets. (I'll probably get blasted by Buddy and some others for not doing/able to do big compound-lifts, so the above are all isolation excersises) At the moment, because it's cold, I've stopped all forms of cardio - until mid-February when I'll incorporate 2 days a week of HIIT runs over 20-25mins period and a 45min cycle. (as a warm-up to the above , I'll throw in 4 x 35 sets of abdominals crunches, some rope-jumping and some 'hill-walkers') What's keeping me doing this, is that I don't really have any particular goal or target to reach - I'm really enjoying it and I'm making some good gains...I don't have to drag myself to the gym or force myself to eat the stuff I do, I just do it and eventually I get acustomed to it.
Dietwise I'm just making sure all the carbs I eat come from fibrous vegetables (and legumes on occasion) & that every meal is obviously based on meat/eggs. Sugar & grains are strictly out. Except a cheat day at the weekend when I 'carb load' and pig out, which by common consent seems to have have positive hormonal and metabolic effects. And is fun. Simple as that. Training I just do a bunch of kettlebell swings, chin ups & dips. Simple, again. I just ordered Vitamin D3 suplements, a Cod liver oil & organic butter mix & started eating some brazil nuts, which is a stack recommended by Tim Ferris to significantly raise testosterone. He's a guy who's approach & advise I generally have some faith in. I'll report back on that in a few months, if Im growing hair on my nose, muscles on my cock and dry humping the furniture. Im just happy to be fit, lean & healthy these days & keep things maximally simple. When I hit my targets for dips, chins & (32kg) swings which is 200 reps each in 4 sets, I'll probably re-add in some clean & presses which i enjoy, but I can't do them right now because my wrist is fucked.
I drink vodka most nights I run most days I do martial arts 3 to 4 days a week I do pushups and situps and chinups ever day
I really am fond of this Seagrams platinum vodka.. It is 100 proof but still smooth I like to have maybe 3 shots or so poured over an ice cube or two
