I was a fat kid when I was younger.. not huge, but 20lbs overweight most of the time. Everyone doubted me because of that, and pretty much overnight, I decided it's time to show them all. You remember those guys in school, rather they we're jocks, etc? The one's who looked better than you, and treated you like ****...anyone who was ever overweight knows the one's I mean.
What happened to THOSE guys after High School? They let themselfs go, and YOU built yourself up into something greater than they ever were, or could hope to be...that's what I wanted, and what I achieved.
My Tip To You.
Here's my own tip, for those looking to transform themselves.
This is what I did, and what worked for me.
Feel free to view my progress pics, and you decide for yourself.
Losing Weight
1. Keep protein intake high, 1.5g per lb of body weight is good.
2. Keep carbs LOW .5g per lb of body weight, or maybe even lower.
3. Keep the bad fats down as far as humanly possible.
Gaining Muscle
1. Keep protein intake high, 2g per lb of body weight.
2. Choose the weight you want to be, and eat like you were that weight.
3. NO cheat days, no junk food, no white breads, stay away from starches, no added sugars. Water, Milk, during this time.
Working Out
Adding Mass : 4 sets, 8-10 reps
Strength : 5 sets, 5 reps
* Change these 2 back and forth, to keep your body in shock, and keep it growing, and adapting.
Another tip is, change your workouts weekly. Dont start out doing chest the same way each time. Start with bench one time, start with chest press or flys the next, etc. Keep your body adapting, and it will grow like crazy, doing the same **** all the time (IMO) can slow that growth down.
Cardio
Yes, when losing weight, you need to do cardio.
How much, and how often depends on your body, and how it reacts.
I do 3 days of cardio, 2 hours per day, regardless of cutting or bulking.
I choose MMA training, boxing, etc as my cardio, and it works for me.
Supplements
1. Protein
2. Multivitamin
3. Creatine
4. Glutamine
5. Omega 3 or 6.
6. BCAA/EAA
Above all else, remember, EVERYONE is fighting their own battle, everyone has to TRY to make things happen.
It's a turtle race, a marathon, it's a lifestyle.
You CAN make it happen.
