ricky Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 hey rich,welcome to the site brother.i'm a bit of a newbie myself and these guys on here are TOTALLY AWESOME and helpful (for the most part). The other times they are either funny or trying to be!!! :pfft: yeah it's true though if you played prop you would be a pretty big fella i'd imagine. i suggest posting a pic so the boys on here can judge and tell you whether you actually need to cut or bulk or you're okay the way you are et cetera. that way you know that you aren't going by your own opinion alone.cheerio.

Pseudonym Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hey man, good to have you here. You'll need to be careful though - many's the bodybuilder who starting dabbling in bodybuilding to complement their original sport, then never looked back. It's addictive! As Ricky says, why not post a pic? Then you can get some independant feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudonym Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Can you give us an idea of everything you eat and drink in a typical day? How much training are you doing at the moment, and what does it consist of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poos_n_wees Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Welcome Candyman I think you'd make great progress, just by changing your diet :nod: What would you typically eat in a day? And what does your training split look like? Love the tshirt! Kurt Angle fan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Zero Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I was a fan of Kurt Angle before he went crazy. Haven't watched wrestling in a bit though.I hope the more to come means a lower day. :wink: And you need to sort that diet out, need a good amount of protein in every meal, 5-6 meals a day. If you're trying to diet down knock out the carbs a bit for fiberous veggies through-out the day. I'm sure people will add a lot more, but I gotta get to the gym.

The Legend Killer Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Yep, diet needs to be 6 smaller meals, with a decent amount of protein in each one. Ideally you want to aim for 2.2 grams of protein per kg of ideal bodyweight. So say you ideally would to be 110 kg, you would be aiming for 240 g of protein a day.

Pseudonym Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 What you've posted in the workout looks pretty good, I think. You say there's more to come? I hope so.. you haven't mentioned legs or back yet! How often do you do this?As for diet, Mike and TLK have given you good advice. Do you have many snacks or sweet drinks often?

Dumbelldog Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Gidday Candyman316, these guys will giv you relly good advice my friend the only thing that I have to offer is, you will need to remember that you wont change your diet from A to Z in the fris week or even month. Small changes every day or week will add up over time to a very health way of eating. These guys will tend to tell you exactly where you want to end up (respect guys) not necessarily how to get there.For a start drink as much water each day as you can work up 3 plus litres a day, cut out all of you junk food and sweet drink.Welcome and good luck.
