Meal 6 2000: Grilled chicken breast or any other lean meat really, sauteed broccoli, baked potato/oats/rice

Meal 8 2400: 25g whey shake (only if I’m starving on a carb depleted week or if I didn’t meet my protein goals for the whole day)
I should mention this diet above was my cut diet. Maintenance would probably have twice the carbs and a little more fats. I like to snack on rice cakes, peanut butter, almonds, apples, and strawberries. I will eat or drink some snacks/sweets here and there when I can fit them in.
Aside from the protein shakes/bar, the 2 solid meals fluctuate depending on what I’m doing diet wise. If I’m on a cut I will budget my carbs accordingly to meet my end goal numbers, if I’m in an offseason mode I will fit in regular food from time to time (burgers, pizza, sandwiches, etc.) and not worry about it as long as its not a daily thing. If I’m on a diet though for a specific goal it’s all lean meats, green veggies, and the right amount of carbs for where I am in the diet. Last week of dieting carbs are tapered off (ie 150g monday, 130g tues, 120g wed, etc. etc.). I base these carb numbers off how I look in the mirror. If I’m still soft I’ll drop the carbs more, if I’m looking good I’ll keep more carbs in. Protein is the only set number in my diet regardless of what I’m doing. These days I’ve found that 280-320g of protein is ideal for me. Carbs and fats are totally dependent on the situation.
Bottom line for dieting is meeting your macro goals for the day. If you need to eat 2400 calories and 250p/200c/and 60f a day for your diet, your body doesn’t really care how it gets them, as long as it gets them. If you eat lots of sugars and fats you will reach your goal numbers too soon in the day and will find yourself starving. That’s why when you diet, you typically want to eat complex carbs because they take longer to digest and will keep you feeling fuller longer. But, if you want to fit in a slice of pizza, and it doesn’t screw up your numbers for the day, then by all means eat it. This will keep you sane while dieting because it can really become a blur after a while when you only eat boring foods.
There is truth to his statement. If one is training solely for aesthetic purposes than doing heavy squats is not only a waste of time but a detriment to that goal (higher chance of sustaining injuries and wear on the joint(s) ). Heavy squats over a long period of time do take a toll on your knees.Originally Posted by DCAllAmerican

anyway did the 10x10 squat workout by ice1cube posted earlier in thread. greatttt workout todayOriginally Posted by DaBuddhaWitJays
posted awhile back in the previous thread i think.... but dude does squats with no weight... (which is news to me)
no dls. not a proponent of creatine either...
any truth to the 1st part of his statement...?
I dont do complete squats with weights, as they destroy the menisci in the knees, i only do complete squats without weight. If I wanted to be an olympic weight lifter, I would need to do them. with this example, i wish to show you that in sport there are things that are bad for your health, which should be avoided unless you want to reach the peak of said sport. If you are currently taking creatine, my only advice is to stay away unless its necessary for competition etc.
and i think my testis are healing up. lol. (which i messed up somehow, someway)
Depends on your goals. Squatting with no weight would definitely be safe for your knees/back in the long run, but there's only so much you can do with bodyweight squats. If your goal is just to tone and gain endurance, then they're fine. But once you get past 12+ reps, you're out of the hypertrophy range, and way out of the strength range. So if your goal is to gain strength or athleticism, or if your goal is to increase muscle size in your legs, then you're kind of limited if you just stick to bodyweight.Originally Posted by ChewToy112
Does anyone have a copy of this workout that Ice Cube posted?Originally Posted by DCAllAmerican
Durden or anyone else, what do you think about the squating with no weight approach
I agree. I take what they say with a grain of salt. I haven't really been listening to Rusty much. His site is getting kind of repetitive and boring for me. Updates are getting far and few between. Lately I've just been browsing the LeanGains site and The Lean Saloon.Originally Posted by GrimlocK
Read that article yesterday neal, put some things in perspective for me...But he says he doesn't believe in whey protein shakes in the article but on the leangains site he list whey protien as one of the best supplements. Sometimes I think Rusty and the other dudes he puts on his site are partially b.s. Still some good info but...
