Awesome, good luck with your progress 'knives'.

[teamfatboy]

Compound lifts and tons of QUALITY food =

[Bazza]

10 Kilos in 5 months is a bunch of mass. Eat a ton of good food and lift to your max..with lots of rest when you can. Good luck

[poos_n_wees]

What's the eating situation like down in Waiouru? Buffet-style?

Good luck with the goals! :grin:

Yep, the mess can be "unhelpful", eh.... especially dessert! I spent some time at Woodbourne, and it was dangerous!

But, once I got to know the staff, they were way helpful, esp with the bagged lunches. If I'd been taking lunch in, well.....

Guess the prices in Waiouru are 'cos of the transport costs, can you get a run down to Linton and do a bulk shop?

Other things - maybe some bulk protein, add an extra shake here and there?

Talk to the PTIs, maybe they can help put in a good word?

[Dontrunwithknives]

I'm writing this from my phone doing a bulk shop sounds like a good idea but what kind of things should I buy? Also thanks for that quote

[teamfatboy]

I guess I was thinking cans of chop chop chicken, tuna, stuff that won't go off quickly, that you could probably get cheaper in the bigger cities. I'm sure you could save money that way. Let the Green Machine keep you supplied with fresh fruit and veggies, buy bulk stores of extra protein.

:ditto: And I'd definitely consider investing in a tub of protein powder.

Cheers guys. You will get a better understanding of what I am doing already when I finally get to a computer and post my log. It includes sleep, work, food, excercise and weight. It should be up on thursday once I get the internet sorted in my barrack room.

Anyone want to give me advice? :-s I'm sure I need some :pfft:

[teamfatboy]

Yep, sure, we can do that...

But: I was reading your journal, and I was struggling to break it down day-by-day. If you can do individual posts for each day, that'd help us help you.

The other key thing would be to break down the gym time into exercises...not 'upper body'/ lower body, etc

It seems like there's a LOT of cardio conditioning in there, which is to be expected from the Green Machine.

Once we get a handle on your diet, it might be clearer what you'd need to do to add lean muscle mass.

[Dontrunwithknives]

Sure I will do individual posts right now

Also I will try to break down my gym time into exercises from now on but I don't really know the names of everything so bear with me :pfft:
