Still sick. So frustrating from being tired on top of it.

Re: 2015 FITNESS CHALLENGE
Can you use bcaas instead of whey to save on the calories?

Re: 2015 FITNESS CHALLENGE
Nah you need to get the protein
Protein is 4 cal per g so you just gotta consume about 100 cals right there. Get stuff without carbs/fat...or minimalSOS Madden League (PS4) | League Archives

Re: 2015 FITNESS CHALLENGE
Tax season is ruining me. I'm going to try and see how this site does yoga though - probably start next week.
The price is right, too.

Re: 2015 FITNESS CHALLENGE
Back to training, didn't get my long run in this past weekend. Had some Valentine's Day commitments and the next day, we got hit with 4-6 inches of snow and I didn't feel like doing the long run on a treadmill, so I skipped it.
Probably a good decision as I have been dealing with some non-allergic rhinitis issues (it's like having allergies but you're not actually allergic to anything, so it can be hard to treat). I did do 4.5 miles of walking/running/sprinting on the treadmill today and that was a good workout. Exercise actually seems to help the rhinitis issues, at least temporarily.
Really going to try and get as many workouts in as I can the next week, as I'll soon be on the road for 3 weeks for work and I know there's a 10-day stretch where I legit won't have time to exercise.Currently Playing:

Re: 2015 FITNESS CHALLENGE
Can anyone give me advice on bulking? I plan on bulking from Sept 1st to December 31st, but I don't want to get fat. So far I've lost nearly 70 pounds, and I'm really not crazy about putting any fat back on during my bulk.
I saw some article that recommends going +500 over your BMR. Right now I am eating between 1200-1500 calories a day (my BMR now is around 1650), and that along with doing Rushfit has really melted the fat off.
Thanks fellas.Comment

Re: 2015 FITNESS CHALLENGE
Just take it slowly, start by going above Maintenance 200-300 cals. You want to aim for about a Pound to a pound and a half a week; if you're weight still isn't going up just add another 100 cals, and re-evaluate from there.
For food sources the best way to add extra calories on a bulk is Carb choices, Rice, Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes, and try to time them around your workouts. Before, or after.Minnesota Vikings

Re: 2015 FITNESS CHALLENGE
Your calories should be based on your TDEE (includes calories spent from exercise and daily activity) not your BMR (calories spent if you laid in bed all day and had people bring you food). Plug your stats into an online calculator. Just google search and find your TDEE and add 300 calories to it.
It's important to weigh yourself consistently to make sure you're at the right level. Like Feared said you want to gain 1LB a week. My last bulk I started at 2800 calories and ended up moving that up to 3200 before I was gaining at a good pace. I went from 174lb in mid May to 190lb at start of November. I'm down to 183 now which included the usual holidays digging into my cut. I feel like I'm at a pretty similar body fat% at 183 as I was at 174 but I'm definitely carrying more muscle.
No matter what you do you'll gain fat but you can definitely limit how much. You should also look better in the mirror even with the gain.
Your food choices shouldn't change. You just get to eat more and eat carbs more often. I do change milk from Almond Milk to Whole Milk since it tastes better and I have more calories to spend. I'll eat Chicken Thighs and red meat more often as well. Not that you can't fit any of that into a cut but it definitely makes it easier not to. Don't think you need to drink multiple protein shakes a day to get results. I drink them because they taste great but they are not a substitute for real food.
Make sure you get .85g protein & .5g fat per lb of body weight. Where the rest of the calories(carb, fat, or protein) come from don't make much of a difference.Last edited by Antec; 02-17-2015, 07:21 PM.Comment

Re: 2015 FITNESS CHALLENGE
Thanks for the tips guys.
So let's say if my TDEE is 2472 that is the amount of calories I can eat per day (while exercising 6 days a week) without losing muscle? Just want to make sure I understand it.Comment
