BigAndy69's Cutting diet for the summer...

[BigAndy69]

To tell you the truth, I've never tried cardio in the pm. Am Cardio is great, but you can easily over do it and lose muscle mass. I think it is more related to the intensity of the cardio rather than the time of day.

The best way to insure that you preserve muscle mass is to take some BCAAs on empty stomach before morning cardio.

I am drinking a shake 2hours before cardio. I'll let you know how it goes.

Hey man, whatsup?
How come your diet looks nothing like the one you recommended me? Could you tell me why you're not eating the same foods I currently am? Is it due to the "convenience" factor at schooL?
BTW< its working great. I have no idea of my bf percent, but right now all i have left is the stomach fat.

Ill keep you posted....and I'll PM you soon with summer results...if they are satisfactory.

Peace

Hey bro I think that you should cut out the beef and get some chicken because A. High in protein, B. Low in carbs, C. moderate in fat. whereas beef has lots of calories not to many carbs but it has carbs and if you are cutting you want some carbs but more protein then carbs because carbs are going to turn into fat. yeah I know beef is complex carbs but still you don't want the fat and the high calories that beef has in it plus chicken there is a million different healthy ways to cook it. Just my opinion bro

Well, my last diet was very similar to yours. I had to account for what is available for you. You said you ate tuna and rice so I put it in the diet. I tried to make it as easy as possible for you and fit it in your schedule. i was a diet focusing mainly on fat loss and muscle preservation.

This time I am actually trying to gain muscle and increase strengh as well as decrease BF. I still want to train my hardest so all my carbs are focus around my trainning. During the weekends I will eat the same usually diet. This stange diet also fits my work schedule quite nicely.

Btw, send me a PM even if your results aren't satisfactory, you always have to learn from your mistakes. I know you are going to party for a few days, DON'T THROW AWAY ALL THAT HARD WORK! Just remmeber all that Tuna you ate in the washroom!

"What the hell did he just say?"

Who knows...

yeah definetely alright. I already had to take a week off (exams and now parties) and Im leaving to venezuela for one more week. so total =2 weeks off. I haven't gained any fat back.

but check this: i am gonna go to brazil from next week up until september. Ill cut ALL THROUGHOUT the fucking time until i get the results. If they come in early (prolly will) Ill do a light bulking cycle (the best one I can come up with...meaning the best muscle gain to fat gain ratio).

Yeah never worry...i can never forget those tunas in the bathroom stalls, people bitching at me and looking at my "rice and tuna" EVERY fucking day at lunch and ask why the fuck do i eat that shit every day, and getting threatened to leave the school if caught with tuna in the hallway again LMAO !

THanks man, you've helped a great deal.
Definetely will pm you after summer.

Peace

PS. GURU PIMP, you need to learn how to use periods, comas, and how to spell. *beef has COMPLEX CARBS??? wtf? listen up big andy, cut out the beef, it has a whooping 2 g of complex carbs !*

Week 1: mid-week update

This is my second day of dieting. I start feeling like shit at about 4-5 pm. I'm still lifting hard, my rows were up by 5 lbs on monday, and I squatted 10 lbs more on tuesday.

No cheating so far, only a 2 teaspoons of low fat cream cheese and some baby carrots.

I've lost 2-3 lbs already (obviously water weight).

Hey BigAndy, how many days a week do you lift and how many days do you do cardio for? Why not try a day of lifting followed by a day of cardio, and then repeat this pattern 6 days out of the week? I think I might try this on my next diet in a few weeks, but I'm not going to be doing it for more than 6 weeks (max).

Here it goes:

Monday: Morning: Back, traps, rear and side delts-------Evening: 45 mins of cardio(250-300 cals burned)

Tuesday: Mornng: Legs, calves-----------------------------Evening: Rest

Weds: Morning: 45 mins of cardio------------------------ Evening: 30 - 45 mins of cardio(not confirmed)

Thursday: Morning: Chest, front delts, rotator cuff------ Evening: 45 mins of cardio

Friday: Morning: Arms, forearms---------------------------Evening: 45 mins of cardio

Saturday: Morning: 30 - 45 mins of cardio(not confirmed)--Evening: Rest

Sunday: Morning:Rest---------------------------------------Evening: Rest


I'll probably not do the cardio on saturday and weds evening.

Saturday, I will do Cardio whenever I fell like it. (Sometimes on weds, my legs are too sore from the Tues workout, so I can't do cardio.)

4 X 45 mins of cardio a week is more than enough. I just add an extra session because I'm not a very active guy.

You seem to know what you are doing, but I'll be glad to help you out with whatever program you need.
You've probably noticed the weird split of my shoulder work. This is designed to help me recover from an injury.
