health Anyone here powerlift or weightlift?

[Xylosian 140]

Just curious to see if they're any bronies who eat steaks and lift weights also I wanted to see what your diet and workout routine consists of so please do share!

 

Personally I do weighted squats, deadlifts, power cleans, bicep curls (any variation), tricep extensions, bench press. I mainly use the weights and the weights only, i some times do conditioning for cardio.

 

I only eat 2 meals per day and I eat shit tons of protein and fat like steak, chicken, grilled salmon, etc. I usually accompany my meals with some type of vegetable (either it be a cucumber whole or a salad). But my main meal is Steak and Eggs and sweet potatoes with cinnamon and butter every morning, now that's a meal fit for a king. I could safely say I eat pretty healthy so I could stay lean.

My routine is similar to yours except with much less emphasis on lifting(I only have an at-home weight set and I hate the gym)and more on pullups, pushups, and situps. I rotate an upper body, lower body, and cardio. I do exercise, but not as often as some of my friends, because I have other things I like to do and not a lot of free time with work and college. I don't have a consistent schedule that I work off of, I just do it whenever I feel into it. It doesn't cost me any money to use my weight set and I'm not committed to a gym contract. I eat a lot of chicken(I hate beef) and I like my broccoli, spinach, carrots and other vegetables as well and I stay away from the empty carbs and that is just how I usually eat, it wasn't tailored for exercising.

I exercise and I shortly will begin lifting regularly. I'm joining the Army soon so I will need to be in shape and after I get in, I plan on staying in shape.

> 2 meals per day. 

 

You need at least 4 meals on a daily basis, with your caloric intake somewhat evenly spread out for each meal. I don't know what's with the huge emphasis on protein though. Carbohydrates are reeeeally important too. I'm currently playing around with my diet, and I've recently noticed that I haven't been falling asleep in school ever since I ate more carbs before bed. This is because I'm increasing my glycogen levels. But yeah, carbs are essential. c:

 

Those are some good exercises though, but you're restricting yourself quite a bit. Only once chest exercise? I'm not sure if you're trying to do powerlifting or not (Since I've never heard of a powerlifter that does bicep curls or tricep extensions), but I'd recommend dumbbell presses and incline dumbbell presses since you get a WAY better stretch. Cable flies also offer the same. Just make sure you stretch out your shoulders and chest before you start, since believe it or not, your shoulders play a big part in chest exercises, especially incline presses.

I'm trying to stay lean, I'm not trying to bulk up. Protein and fat are essential for building muscle, carbs are good for energy. They're the three most important macro nutrients for your body. Also I said powerlifting and weightlifting, I do both.

 

I'm actually thinking about trying three meals per day and monitoring my macros and calories. Maybe 3,000 to 3,500 calories a day I don't know.

I don't have a solid routine in place, but I hit the gym regularly to do some weightlifting. I go for about two hours every monday, thursday and saturday, simply thanks to college breaks and the weekend period. I wouldn't call myself strong by any means, but it still helps knowing I'm keeping in shape

 

Diet-wise, I'm currently on a weight loss one, so that just means 3 meals per day which are perfectly balanced and keep everything to a minimum, which means just some Bran Flakes for breakfast (for the amount of fibre), lunch consists of a wholegrain rice base with bits of chicken breast in it. Has a lot of carbs which are key and then dinner can really vary but I try my best to keep portion control right

3,000 - 3,500? I'm guessing you're about 200 pounds, probably way off. 

If you're cutting, it'd probably be beneficial to know whether you're in a caloric deficit or not.

Since you're cutting, eating tonnes of carbs isn't the best thing to do.

Not a ton But I don't eat any carbs throughout the rest of the day And there still kinda important cus energy n shiz....soooo ye c: 

[Windskyed 221]

I was obese before with mutiples hormonals problem. 120 kg with 40 % of fat and no muscle at all.

Inactive Thyroïd, veeery low testosterone and a muscular / functionnal deficiencie. Too much estrogen. It was there is 3 years. 

Now, I train 6/7 very intensively in explosivity for have strengh and a fast moove. Very small time of rest, like a fighter. I am stronger than some bodybuilder of my gym even if I am not "massive". But I'm not fat at all. 13% I think.

I'm in a cutting cycle with a carb cycling and a kcaloric deficit. I have already be at 8% in the last years.

What I was :

I'm 6'4" and weighing in about 193 pounds. I'm using an app called myfitnesspal and based on my weight and my goal (which is maintain my current weight) my calorie intake is 3,500 calories. My macros come to 446 g of carbs, 179 g of protein, and 119 g of fat. Which is actually pretty reasonable.

Damn I was close.

You're also intimidatingly tall. Like....you've HUGE potential for strength to be honest. 

That's a lot of carbs as well. The basis of macronutrient intakes stand at 40% carbs 40% protein and 20% fat. But that's the basis, it doesn't mean that you have to follow those percentages.

Of course not but it just gives me a clear idea of how I should be eating and building muscle. I personally believe I'm doing well and to continue doing better.

Some recent pictures of me. Nothing TOO impressive, since I've only been doing this for half a year, but meh.

Strength first, aesthetics last. I'd bulk first for another year or so then cut.  I'm still bulking, more or less just waiting 'till I notice some chub coming on.

What's your height weight and bmi? I'm just curious since my bmi is 23.5

You won't believe it, but mine's the same as yours. x,D

[Windskyed 221]

And to give some thought about this subject in nutrition.

Lipids : It's your hormonal regulator. Without lipids, your hormones will crash, especially the testosterone. It's an easy way to up the kcaloric balance if you can't eat a lot.

Glucids : Energy for the training or the effort. The glycemic index will be ajusted for your training or not. Around the training is better.

Protein : For the conservation of muscle or muscular growing up.

The kcaloric balance will decide of the weight loss or the muscle gain. The macro element need to be different for each person. We are all different. Know yourself.

And then, so, okay. Small Evolution in the body :

It's probably because I just started a year ago, I guess I should just be patient.

XD XD. It's exactly what I said to a friend at the instant. The "normal" people. If only they knew...

 

About the quad, no secret. Heavy squats / press in 12 reps with some explosive jumbs, body squat of fents. It's the hell, but very effective.

 

For me, the bulgar method is the most effective in my results. 

 

 Legs :

 

749,572 ibs in the press x 10 / jumps to the end of my possibilities x 3

 

264,555 Ibs in the squat x 12 / Fents to the end of my possibilities x3

396,832 Ibs In the calf work x 20 / Very small jumps x 4

 

Time of rest : 1 min.

 

Fast but effective.

It's a small exemple.

Yea, totally, the patience. About me,  One years and a half to train like a fighter style and the global weight loss. Heart beating go at 60 / min to 40 / min. In the middle, a "rest during several weeks". And the last year, strengh / volume to the hell.

 

It takes years, but you will see it work if you do the right things. I'm sure you can do it .
