Sexual Intellectual FINALLY breaks the cycle

[sexual_intellectual]

Hi Everyone,

I'm sick of my excuses for not taking bulking up seriously, and have set myself a proper diet and signed up to the gym instead of visiting it once a week.

My stats:

Height: 5'11"
Weight: 56kgs

My diet:

Meal 1: Fried Bacon & egg with toast and cheese (2 rashers, 2 eggs, 3 slices toast)

Meal 2: Tuna, Mayo and Sweetcorn sandwiches (150g tuna)

Meal 3: Chicken pasta salad (200g Chicken, 50g pasta)

Meal 4: Half pounder Beefburger

Meal 5: Chicken and rice (200g chicken, 50g rice)

Meal 6: Omelette (2 eggs, chicken, bacon, cheese, etc)

I'm intending to replace one meal with a meal replacement powder every day, for a little variety...

How can I improve the diet?

I don't know much about working out, so think I'll just play it safe by getting an advisor to design me a custom work out using the machines. What do you think?

Just keep reading and reading.

Sign up to muscle building forums, read peoples journals. Avoid information in magazines and books by the pros.

I assume you've read the bulking thread here.

The danger with gym based trainers is they are geared up to keep fat women temperarily happy and permanently fat. Go to a gym with free weights, it's a sign you are in the right place.

Avoid guys who offer advice with pinholes in their buttocks.

Change your diet daily, your general theme looks ok if a little unhealthy. Aim for 500 cals a day more than you normally have to stay at the same weight. Eat about a g of protein for each pound of bodyweight.

Keep training to key exercises like squats barbell rows etc. and keeo each session to 45mins.

Thanks Alpine - appreciate the response!

I posted this on the bodybuilding.com forum to universal condemnation! They reckon its really unhealthy. Thats what I thought when I looked at it. Its just I was trying to do what Skinnyguy.net said to do. I'll take your advise and keep reading, ask the gym instructor to develop a free weights workout for me, and will keep everyone posted here.

An update:

I got some diet advice last week and have 3 meals like I used to plus 2/3 protein shakes.

I got a fitness instructor to make me a programme. I'm working my arms on tuesdays, my legs and back on thursdays and my shoulders and pecs on saturday.

Here's my arm workout:

Warmup:
Rowing machine - 3 minutes

I did the following sets today in circuit, then repeated them once:

12 Chin-ups
10 Dips
12 Alternating Dumbell Curls - 8kg (I KNOW! Thats why I started working out!!)
12 Tricep Press - 20kg
10 Tricep Machine - 20kg (couldn't do any the second time, my arms gave in)
12 Bicep machine - 25kg (as above)

I caved in at the end, my arms just couldn't take it. I tried lifting, but the weights literally wouldn't move, I'd lost all strength.

Any feedback welcome!

Get on muscletalk which is a uk based forum, load of quality advice on there and good deals on whey and creatine.

It won't be easy, I'm still a skinny bastard and I've put on nearly 20lbs!

I know it's and arm routine but you must embrace the concept that if you want to grow you must focus on your legs. For a beginner that arm routine will probably make them shrink.

That means squats or deadlifts, chins, M press and bench-go home . You will not get to look the way you want to be without focussing on your legs, period.

Sorry I do go on sometimes.

Good luck
