Bran's 1st 6-pack & get huge!! Diet Log, (screw Lestat)

QUESTIONS ARE BOLDED

Well I am back. I guess I don't need much of an introduction around EF that much now but...

I'm 14% BF or thereabout. Where do I get this professionally tested and how much does it cost? I don't trust myself with calipers.

I am about 5'7" and 172 lbs.

I've never had a 6-pack, but I'm going to do it this time with more muscle than ever before! Lestat made fun of my frame and said I could never be big so I'm going to use my dedication and drive to kick his ass! So this will be my fuel guide.

I have been having flax + fish + protein powder for breakfast for awhile because it was fast but I am going to move to almost whole foods only and see if my body likes that. I've just recently found the greatest thing ever - oats in a blender which makes carbs at breakfast very easy! I will move my flax to meal 2 as I just realized today that doing both gives me too many calories at meal 1:

Meal 1:
Shake (1 TBSP ANPB, 1/2 scoop Whey, 1/2 cup oats, splenda)
3/4 can Tuna
1 TBSP Flax
2 fish oil caps

588 calories, 46g protein, (35g complete protein)

Meal 2:
1 can Tuna
2/3 cup mashed pintoca beans

280 calories, 40g protein (32g complete protein)

Meal 3:
Salmon Fillet
0.75 oz. almonds

Calories (160 in almonds, need to check the salmon stats on the bag when I get home).
Do you guys count total protein or only complete protein?

I'm using that Dietex Hoodia supplement, what supplements do you pros recommend? glucorell-r? I'm also using multivitamin. Here we go!

Goal: To get down to ~10% BF then begin adding muscle.

OK BRAD ill help your little framed ass lol

Check my pics, i went from 240-150, then back up to 190(now) So i know somethings about Diet =]

Letme See...
I count TOTAL protein, not too many things have Incomplete amino acid chains, besides u have protein shakes and whatnot, so those amino acid chains will form a complete protein eventually.

If you ever seen an 'european diet' They have the 'biggest' meal first. So from that concept my breakfast is preety big.

Meal #1
1 cup of oats (2 servings)
1 cup of skim milk + protein (32g protein 24 from whey + 8g from milk)
2 Tbspoon of Flax
Bluebberies
Splenda

Meal #2
Tuna + Multigrain Barrila Plus Pasta (17g of protein and is made from Flax too)
Miracle Whip

Meal #3 ( on workout days )
Steamed Chicken + Broccholi + Brown Rice

Meal #4
PreWorkout Shake (1 scoop)

Meal #5
PostWorkout Shake (2scoops)

Meal #6
Dinner ( usually chicken/steak/beef something lean/whole food)

Meal #7
Pre Bed Shake
All Natural Peanut Butter


Thats a template of what i eat, granted it might be 3000+ calories, but you get the idea, portions make meal calories smaller so get some ideas. Plus the above was a quick glance, u need to add more ANPB to the above. I have it on my desk at work so i know i just randomly eat it up.

Here is an 'exerpt from the "book" im writing'

How to naturally Boost Testosterone Levels.

So you might be asking by now How to boost your testosterone naturally.
Well then keep reading.

TOP THINGS TO BOOST TESTOSTERONE!

• COMPOUND EXCERCISES
• LOWER YOUR STRESS LEVELS
• DON’T STARVE YOURSELF FOR A DIET!
• PUT DOWN THAT SKIPPY AND GET YOURSELF SOME ALL NATURAL PEANUT BUTTER
• STAY CLEAR OF ALCOHOL (YOU WILL READ MORE ABOUT THIS LATER)
• EAT YOUR CRUCIFEROUS VEGITABLES (STOPS ESTROGEN PRODUCTION)
• VIRTUAL FIGHTING OR SPARRING


Compound Excercises

There is nothing better at jumpstarting your testosterone factory than excercising, NOTHING. But did you know the TYPES of exercise and HOW you do those excersizes, have a DIRECT effect on your testosterone production.

The amount of STRESS/STRAIN you put on your muscle fibers send signals to your body to produce more testosterone. So the more stress/strain you put your body through(don’t overtrain), the more Testosterone your body will produce.

The more muscle fibers you stimulate as I said above produces more testosterone, so know comes the question, wich excercises?
There are two types of excercises, Compound and Isolation Excercises.
There names basically explain it all, isolation is for working out a specific muscle group, such as curls for biceps. Compound are also exactly what they say, they work out a group of muscles. That’s why Sqautting produces so much results, not only is it stimuling most of your core muscles, it’s also sending your testosterone through the roof. And who said squatting wasn’t important.

Stress?

Stress is not good for anyone! Especially those trying loose weight. Stress litteraly haults results in their tracks. Stress releases a very powerful chemical into your body called Cortisol. Not only does it fuck up your gains, but it literally decreases your testosterone production.

Heres a great Example:

You and the Wife/Girlfriend/Mistress have been argueing a lot lately. And it seems that your sex drive has flew out the window? Well that’s because your stress levels are high and so are your cortisol levels. Fucking weird right?

Know I could go into all methods of stress relief but honestly you have to find the method that works for you. The method that helps the most with me is deep breathing. Inhaling through the nose and exhauling through the mouth really seems to calm me down.

Peanutbutter & EFA’s (Essential Fatty Acids)
Too many people stay away from FAT while on Diet, from the misconception of the media that Fats make you Fat. WRONG. TOO many calories with a lot of calories coming from FAT makes you FAT. In fact it is a MUST that your body has fat to produce testosterone. So basically if you were like me, Very strict on diet, low fat and your libido is dropping this is WHY! I found this out the hardway, thank god I was still taking my Flax seed oil and other Fats to balance out my Fat intake.

OkOk, almost forgot to clear this up. Im not talking about the FAT this on bacon or the fat in Vegetable oil. Im talking about healthy fats, they are called Essential Fatty Acids. (The way I always explained it in “lamans” terms was, these are the fats that attack other fats). You should focus only on healthy fats (EFA’s), such as poly-unsaturated fats (Omega 3’s & Omega 6’s). This is where learning to read labels on food comes in handy. BUT the #1 HEALTHY FAT OF ALL IS MONOUNSATURATED FAT. Scientists have actually proven that monounsaturated fat has a direct effect on the testes and testosterone production.


Here are Some Sources of Healthy Fats

Avacodos
Olive Oil
Conola Oil
Nuts(any kind)
Flax Seed Oil
Fish Oil







Dangers of Alcohol (Yeah, sorry fellas I know this one is hard to take)

Alcohol is a drug, and like any drug it would be considered a toxin once it enters your body. Once alcohol is in you, your body litteraly stops what it is doing, and tries to rid itself of the toxins that just entered your body.

Also Studies have shown that alcohol, has a double effect on your body’s endocrine system. Alcohol intake actually shuts down your testosterone production while causing your body to send out WAY TOO MUCH ESTROGEN.

Holy shit, our parents were actually right! We should eat our veggies!

Ok, I know we don’t want to ever say that again so how about we rephrase that…..

Researchers have shown that eating your vegetable will actually lower estrogen, resulting in your testosterone being elevated way above your estrogen levels. Oh shit havnt we been talking about how to do this the whole time?

Just like everything else so fat, not any veggies will do, so you atleast have some comeback about ur parents being right. You need to eat CRUCIFEROUS VEGATABLES. These veggies are known to have high levels of a specific chemical called INDOLE-3CARBINOL or I3C for short. This chemical is proven to lower estrogen production and support testosterone production.



Here are some CRUCIFEROUS VEGATBLES WITH INDOLE-3-CARBINOL:

Broccoli

Cauliflower

Brussel Sprouts

Collard Greens
Cabbage

Turnips

Bok Choy

Water Cress
Turnips

Mustard Greens

Radishes

Kale


Virtual Fighting
Now this is a subject that I personally love. When im in “virtual fighting mode” I would swear I am superman. Competative Fighters have very high levels of Testosterone production. If we look deaper we can find out why. Full contact fighters visualize their oppenents when they are training for there next fight. The power of the human brain is amazing, why not tap into our abilities?

What I recommend is this:
• Find a Suitable location in your home/backyard/gym/basement wherever. Try to use a mirror if you could (It helps with the visualization).
• Remember a time when you could have ripped someone’s head off, whether it being a time where some asshole cut you off on the road, all they up to imagining in your mind protecting your wife/family in the wrong neighborhood at the wrong time. (Nothing gets me going like imagining my GF in a bad situation and the only person who can help is my vs 5 other guys. Ever at a baseball game when your wife says a comment and something is said by a group of drunk assholes at the game, me neither thank god, or else I wouldn’t be writing this right lol) The clearer you make the image in your head, more adrenaline would be released into your bloodstream and bam, hopefully soon you will be a ranging animal. (Oh and if you wanted to get all technical, Adrenalin glands help supply your testes with DHEA for testosterone production).
• Start Taking Short Aggressive breaths to get your oxygen supply elevated for the insense workout you will be going through.
• NOW use all that aggress on the enemy, or enemies. Throw everything you have at it. Kick it, punch it, knee it, elbow it, low blow it, bite it do whatever you can to protect the image in your head. Don’t let those fuckers win, no one talks to your woman like that right!? You really want feel the adrenaline running through your veins now! Rip that son of a bitch/bitches apart!
• You can do this in Sets, from all the info on virtual fighting I gathered it seems best for three one minute rounds. I personally do five 2 minutes rounds if I can. Studies have shown that the 3 sets of 1 mintue rounds produces enough testosterone for long lasting results.


These are all helpful ways to improve your Testosterone levels NATURALLY. Learn this and combine this with a CLEAN DIET and you will be on your way to a six pack in no time. Remember Abs are made in the Kitchen.
 
wow, I've never head of virtual fighting before? Cool. Thanks for all the advice. The other things I'm doing except for veggies which I'll add :)
Appreciate it!
 
you've got a great build for table tennis bro, maybe that would be more your speed? I'm afraid all this lifting might lead to injury.
 
Damnit I can't even edit my post from yesterday to put in the rest of my meals??? Shit. Ugh I hate not being a mod in other forums.

OK well these meals are the rest from yesterday:

Meal 4:

2 Hard Boiled Eggs
1/3 cup pinto beans

200 calories, 20 g protein

Meal 5: PWO Shake
(50g whey, 25g dextrose)
300 calories, 50g protein

Meal 6:
Turkey Burger (99% FF)
10 oz. Sweet Potato
Big spinach salad w/balsamic vinegar

Meal 7:
1/2 cup lowfat cottage cheese
90 calories, 13g protein

Totals for Monday 8/1/2006
2,215 calories
242g protein

46% protein
29% fat
25% carbs

would rather it be at 40/30/30, will try to get closer today.
 
lol @ lestat providing added motivation.

Bran, 2200 is about right... however, to fine tune (with your small frame you can afford it, tee hee), you could go something like this as well:

Mon-Tue-Wed-Fri-Sat
1.959 Kcal
45% 220 gr Prot
25% 122 gr Carb
30% 65 gr Fat


Thu-Sun
2.379 Kcal
208 gr Prot 35%
297 gr Carb 50%
40 gr Fat 15%

In other words, smaller guys (like you, can I get a tee hee) can afford to go lower in cals, provided you cycle them during the week. YOu can lower to this level if you see your weight loss stalling
