I eat a lot of salt, because I don't eat out. I work out about 1-2 hours 6 times a week. Your body craves things that it needs to replenish.. Not all the time, but if you read it correctly.

 

thejordan is the only poster in this entire thread that came in with even one iota of cold, hard, objective scientific knowledge. Bravo and kudos to him!

 

New normal bp is 110/70

That being said, 120/80 isn't bad.

 

I remember in a thread somewhere you said you gained 15lbs of muscle in about 5 months. what type of weight training program were you on?

 

I'm now at 22 pounds from last may.

Last may I was 123, I weigh in at 145 and slowly climbing still.

I honestly made up my own workout/routine. Feel free to pm me and I would gladly give you the info.

I like to eat clean and train hard. No supplements or anything. Just food and training properly.

I also maintained 5% body fat while gaining the weight.

Eh I'll post here. Haha.

I'm a terrible example of eating properly.

Eating schedule..

Eggs/potatoes for breakfast
Yogurt and a banana around 10
I'll have a high protein/carb lunch
Have another snack around 2-3 that's high in carbs for my workout
Then post workout, I'll usually have a chicken breast with rice and vegetables
Then I'll have a full bowl of cereal and a peanut butter and jelly.
Anytime I get hungry I throw a peanut butter and jelly in the mix.

My workout...
Currently is, but changes.

Monday/Thursday: chest/biceps and abs with a steady 7:30 mile
Tuesday/Friday: back/triceps and abs with a steady 7:30 mile
Wednesday : legs and shoulders with a 1.5 mile run

Saturday: is an Air Force circuit workout, consisting of 2.5 mile run with a set of workouts in between each .25 lap

Sunday: I usually go on a 3-5 mile hike with the girl or friends.

Oh and I eat.., a lot. I usually get a triple and a double from in n out.

 

Protein powder goes a long way just saying. Some people like the all natural way and I respect it, but you will get much better results with protein powder IMO

 

Yeah. When I first started I was taking a whey isolate and a pure carb powder. While eating as much as I am now. I slowly cut it out, not very good to stay on for your kidneys.

 

Thats pretty good! Thanks for the info.

 

No problem. Feel free to pm/text me with any questions.

I'm no expert at all, but what I did worked very well for me.

 

Nice, but being around 125 was back in my high school days. It's much easier to rack the muscle on with the fat, and then burn off the fat. But it looks like you're doing something right getting bigger with staying to a low body fat %.

Interesting setup of you workouts. Usually working on chest you go with tris, and back with bis. Pushing motion works out chest + tris, pulling motion is back + bis. I'm sure you can switch things in and out wherever that works, but thanks for the info.

 

I realize which workouts target which muscle groups.

Chest and triceps is good, I switch to that.
Think of it this way, triceps are a secondary for your chest workouts with minimal bicep stress. So your biceps are at essentially full strength during chest days. So I'll work them out on those days, while they've got a good portion of their energy.

 

This guy is ripped!

 

Hahaha thanks bro, haven't seen you in the gym lately.

 

you go to 24 at all?

 

I was considering a membership. I workout at right stuff. It's like $20/mo. for me and someone else.
