Mid-A! Tell me your workout/diet plan!
#41
Never thought I needed opinion on this. Now keep in mind I'm one of those naturally skinny looking Asian kid that USED to have super metabolism. Anyone that hung out with me was almost surprised by how much I eat and can eat. I'm about to turn 28 years old, and this past year or so I felt my metabolism got slower significantly. I'm 5'10" and about a year ago I was at about 170 lbs. A year later I'm 185 lbs!!! And it seems like all that eating whatever I can and drink beer every night life style has to come to a stop.
My new year resolution... get in shape! Tell me if I'm doing it right. Keep in mind I'm not trying to get bulk. I just want to get rid of my belly and look somewhat ripped and muscular.
Workout Plan:
3 times a week. 1.5 hour every time. 1 hour of medium weight higher rep lifting + 30 mins of non-stop cardio.
Diet Plan:
Breakfast - Carbs (whole wheat bread, pasta or brown rice), eggs, fish, vegetables
Lunch - A little bit of carbs, fish/lean meat, vegetables
Dinner - No carbs, fish/lean meat, vegetables.
If I get hungry in between meals - Eat an orange/apple/pear/banana.
Am I doing this right?

I would recommend for you to find out your body type first (you're probably on the ectomorph side). Once you figure that out then you'll have a better idea of what kind of food to put inside you for gains or loses.
Jump on a professional work out plan - You wouldn't trust your car to some hack that has virtually no experience right? Treat your body the same way.
A good free regime is HGM by Men's Health. It's a long comprehensive plan that will help you get to your goals:

hahaha my bad... i was listenin to music as i was typin and guess i got caught up in the music... what i meant to say was
lets say you eat a 650 calorie meal and and only use 400 calories til your next meal. that extra 250 calories is going to be stored as fat, and it will keep adding up unless you do something which will burn those calories off.
but if you eat smaller, lower calorie meals its easier for that to burned off...
hopefully that cleared it up
The Z CAN that on the roads as of now. WOO HOO

its not necessarily true... cuz if you starve yourself your not getting any of the benefits of eating.... proteins, vitamins... all that good stuff. ive always heard dont eat til your full, smaller portions throughout the day so your using the calories that your putting in and not having extra calories not being used to be stored into fat

^ LOL no drama needed. I don't think there're a too many variations here. It's mainly different workout + diet plan for different purpose. My immediate goal is to "feel" healthy. I don't know how many of you work 9-5 and has a bunch of other responsibilities besides that. Even with 8 hours of sleep every night I still felt tired during the day. I just want to start feeling energetic again. So I'm on my diet day #3 and for the past 3 days... I lifted for about 30 minutes Monday - Medium weight, worked out 2 muscles on medium weight, ran 2 miles. Tuesday - Ran 2 miles. Today - Same routine as Monday but I was about to run 2.5 miles. And omg I'm feeling energetic already!!!
Thanks for all the advices especially asingh1's technical/medical breakdown on everything. I'm a pretty good "learner" I'd say being an engineer and all. I think I have a pretty solid idea what'd work for my immediate goal. Definitely will need more advice when I've achieved that goal and planning for next!

Not a bad idea. Have you ever tried wheat grass juice before? I've heard a lot of good things about it but I can't find it anywhere.

Your original plan was about right, sticking to it can be difficult but will show results quick. Good luck in your resolution.
#55
At your current goals, you should be doing a 10-8-6-4-2 for bench press and squat. Record all your progress along the way.
#56
4-5 sets of 5 reps with the heaviest weight you can manage tends to show results as well.
#58
+1. I'm working with a trainer that swears by his "1000 Reps A Day" plan. We take light, little ***** weights and do endless reps. Want to tell him it's bullsh*t but he's like 3x bigger than me....
