I've been reading up on this health and fitness forum to try to answer some of my questions...sorry to make you read all of this and I appreciate your time.
I'm 16 currently weighing 174 assumingly(Weighted last friday from this diet I've been doing,somewhere around 5"8-10 tall)I used to weight about 224 and more before I started the diet,throughout the diet I have been working out, but I guess I haven't been "heavy lifting"doing 4-8 reps per set, instead doing 13-17 per set and 3 sets of that specific workout(Doing 2 hours of lifting every day on a 3 day routine workout), normally I would advance in weight when I reach 17+...yes ironically results are there
Should I change to heavy lifting to get better results?I have been using creatine(A little too much then recommended,I.e. using the creatine powder kind and the pilled version correctly)whey protein(I've been adding a scoop of that with the poweder creatine shakes at the times recommended{powder creatine directions} for the protein I need, from what I read I was astonished at exactly how much protein I needed so thats the reason for that, and the things I have been consuming based on the protein,i.e. 2 cans of tuna,2 cans of this slim-fast,and 2 spooning snacks of yogurt per day....Which averages somewhere around 180-190 grams of protein not including a possible meal that I would not normally want since the shakes fill me up too much)amino acid pills, and this One-A-Day vitamen tablets that I take two a day...
So my questions would be if I should start "heavy lifting" now or gradually get to it(do a little heavier everytime I do that workout untill I reach the ranged amount of reps for heavy lifting)?What else should I change to get better results and performance?...perhaps a recommendation?
(Other information, I assume and the doctor thats helping me lose weight also assume I'm gaining more muscle mass since the amount of pounds I lose a week are decreasing then usual since I started using creatine,amino acid pills,whey protein powder shakes)
on the third day of the routine workout I take it a bit easier and finish off with a quick mile of jogging the straights and walking the curves of this track.
My day is as follows, waking up without much sleep,
go to work untill about 5 in the afternoon which is the time I get home,then do whatever untill...
at 6 I take a creatine powder shake with the whey protein
Between 6-7, I might consume what I need for the protein and basic food
at 7 I begin working out, consuming the same shake but with the creatine pills as well.
at 8 I take the shake again, still working out
at 9 I finish working out and take the final shake
Then do whatever....then sleep
Oh and by the way I am a writer so wonder I blab on and on...
