Is my split effective for MMA?

[Freddie45]

Seriously glad you're gonna give the 5x5 a go

What's your diet like mate? (could you give an example of a typical day's meals?) You really need to get that sorted well before you start a cycle.

Personally I don't think you need any AAS just yet, at 25 I was an unstoppable whirlwind, all natural, but if you're set on it do it right, keep researching the roids, PCT and cycle support, then when you think you've got your cycle planned start a thread in the Steroid forum so other people can critique your cycle and give advice or tweaks to the plan.

I'm 33, started lifting at 14 (didn't lift from 19-24), started martial arts at 16 and I'm planning my first cycle for june or july.... Please don't think I'm lecturing you or being patronising this is just my opinion.

Whatever you do mate, it'd be great if you started a log of your training in the joutnals section, there are some great people in there (including me! lol) and you'll get plenty of tips and advice plus I'd love to follow your log.

Colstremer

It's people like you that make me feel welcome to these boards (Y). Don't worry about thinkng your lecturing me. It's good to hear peopels input.

I never managed to finish my previous post as I had to run out the door.

I have in stock 60x50mgs Aanavar and 200x10mgs of Turinabol. I bought these few months back knowing I would have money troubles in the near future. Think I made the right decision. I'm planing on running a cycle in a few months, probably around the same time as you What cycle have you got in mind?

I know my diet has room for improvement. Once my girl friend gets a job in this dreaded city I can finally start the proper diet. An example of yesterdays meal plan;

7am: Mackrel on toast (whole wheat), muslie/poridge

9/10am: Protien shake and almonds

12/1pm: 6 ounce of chicken, cup of brown rice (sometimes pasta) with steamed veg.

3/4pm: Tin of tuna mixed with veg and a table spoon of mayo.

6/7pm Post workout shake

8/9pm 6-7 ounce steak, potatoes, steamed veg

9/10pm cottage cheese on rivita crackers.

As you can tell it's not the best of diets I've ever seen but it keeps me going which is fine for now. On cycle I'll have to replace a few things and maybe add another meal.

I'll definitely keep a log when I run my cycle. I still need some good time to make sure I've got everything nailed down before I run it. Like you said, if you do it, do it right I'm not going down that path again

Appreciate everything mate.

^^^ your diet looks ok to me. How many calories does it add up to do you know? The most important thing for putting on muscle is diet, food is the most anabolic substance you can put in your body, even with juice you won't gain much unless you're putting the food away.

At the moment I'm about to start a test on this theory I recently came across, eating right for your type. The idea is that different blood types have different antigens and respond differently to different foods. I found that for myself I don't digest meat very well but I can put away dairy till the cows come home. I tried it out for a few weeks and found that if I eat the foods recommended for my type I can eat much more and don't have to force myself to keep eating when I feel "full" I also have more energy and I'm losing fat slightly quicker.

I'm now eating the "wrong" foods for my type so that when I get blood tests done at the end of the month they'll reflect the values of someone eating wrong so then after a few months of eating right I get tests again to see if the diet has positively affected those values. I already have plenty of anecdotal evidence to suggest this blood type diet works but blood doesn't lie! - keep your eye out for it in the journals section I'll be starting April 1st.

Which dreaded city are you in?

I'm thinking about a 12-14 week cycle of primo I got most of everything I need still waiting on half the primo! Lol.

Before you start your cycle you could start a training log, I've found it's a good way to keep track of progress and any problems with your routine can get sorted with a li'l help from the other members.

Glad I made you feel welcome

Haha I think the calorie intake it between 2600-3500. I'm not too sure. I think it differs from day to day. I live in scotland, city Dundee. Our country has weight issue's so everything you buy has a total protien/carb/cals/fats count on the back. So it won't be too hard to get that figure, just need to wip out the ol' calculator. When cycle comes I'll probably add 500 cals over maintainance and 50grams of protien. Think that should be fine.

Your blood theory does sound intersting. I'll be reading that up come 1st April.

So your going to cycle some primo yeah? That was one that I've been meaning to look into. If my memory serves me correctly, I think it increases collegen synthesis. If you are intrested in the types of AAS that increase collegen I'l be more than happy to send you it. It was a really good read so I saved it for future cycle and knowledge.

I'm 30kg heavier than you and I gain weight on 3,500 cals per day so you ought to be good at 75kg!

So you're a sweaty sock are ye? Lol one of my oldest mates is in Inverness! Everything in the UK has macros listed on the packaging, it's EU law. Britain has a weight issue, it's not just Scotland (apparently we're the second fattest country in the world next to the US) although they do statistically have the worst diet in the UK, all the deep fried mars bars and shit! And the welsh are statistically the tallest in Britain. Lol sheep genes maybe?

If you have an iPhone there are tons of apps that count calories, I got one which has a barcode scanner so I can scan the code and input the food, it gives me a list of my macros and a pie chart to show the ratios of proteins fats and carbs.

Mate I'm interested in any new info I don't already have! Send it on over!

Ah!

Just noticed your from London. Scrap what I said about the macro's on foods, ye already know haha. A sweaty sock? Is that what we get called down there lol. Furtherst I've been down south is Preston/Blackpool. I was called a jock in a pub once, took me ages to figure out what he meant haha.

I'm half Canadian you see (mums side). I've been brough up on Meat Veg and Potatoes all my life so I've always had a good diet. I've never tried a fried Mars bar before. I don't really like chocolate so the idea makes me feel sick.

Nah wish I did have an iphone. Maybe my wallet will allow me to get one in the next few months.

Right. Sending you that info over via PM. It'll be a copy n paste mate.

 

[Freddie45]

Just out of curiousity.

Do you know anyone who has done the 5x5 only twice a week and seen any results, so just ABABABA and so on?

I know a 2 day split on gear is pointless, but would it be effective going natural and adding in more cardio.

Just a though, bit bored at work today.

 

[Colstreamer]

Got your PM mate, haven't had time to read it yet, I'm at work too!

Sweaty sock is rhyming slang for Jock! Lol! In the army scots were called porridge wogs if they were dumb enough to join an English regiment. Lol! I've been to Scotland many times, mostly with the army but I spent Christmas in Edinburgh with my GF last year.

Meat veg and potato sounds good. ESP if you're blood type O... That's if you wanna read anything into the blood type diet I mentioned. If you're interested I've got the blood type diet book in PDF I can email it to you if you PM me your email. I had a steak sandwhich yesterday, took 4 hours before I stopped feeling full.

I don't know anyone who's done 5x5 for just 2 days a week. Kinda a waste of time really on juice or not! Lol!

Half Canadian half Scottish eh? Lol I'm mixed too, English Welsh Scottish and Irish! Lolololol I'm about as British as you can get!
