I have been lifting for a good few years on and off and I made some good gains. I went on a cut diet, because aswel as adding some muscle I also added some fat (to the belly and hips:mad:)

I took some measurements before cut, I weighed myself this morning,I lost 7lb! problem is!! I lost 3/4" off biceps and forearms!!!!:mad::mad:

And the big fat hips are still there!!!


Back to MCDonalds for me,feck that ****e!!

Just keep lifting, if you stop you'll become fat, weak and crap :P.

what was the diet like in both instances, booze? sugar?

sleep? stress?

Hello.

Bulk Diet went a lil like this.

Morning ; porridge,banana,3x slices wholemeal .

Brunch ; 1 whole egg 3 egg whites

lunch ; chicken fillet or (Tuna )with Veg. 1 banana

Dinner ; Steak,pasta.

Supper ; 3x wheatabix or rice crispies :pac:



Cut.

Porridge

salmon

tuna

3x wheatabix or rice crispies


As You can see,I dont measure stuff but the food would be by no means huge amounts, like a normal chicken fillet,can of tuna etc etc.

Its hardly "nothing"......... is it?

Diet is shocking. Seriously poor. Do some research into it, plenty of solid advice out there and it's pretty easy to separate the good from the bad.

The cut diet looks fairly gruelling, you're unlikely to preserve muscle with that level of protein intake, if you had some eggs in the morning (whole eggs), swapped the porridge for some fruit, added some veg and green things to the salmon and chicken later in the day, threw in some nuts (not too many) and ditched the last meal for a casein shake and some blueberries (or whatever), it'd probably be a better cutting diet than what you were on. I'd be on the wrong end of a rope fairly sharpish if I were eating like that.

For the bulk diet you can probably get away with poorer food quality but you still need more eggs, meat, fats, nuts etc. on top of it. You were getting no protein in the morning and nothing at night apart from high GI carbs and possibly some milk.

The good thing is that improving this won't be hard!

What do ya weigh anyway?

Brunch ; 1 whole egg 3 egg whites 20g protein ish, why seperate white if you are bulking? or even at all?

lunch ; chicken fillet or (Tuna )with Veg. 1 banana probably less than 30g of protein

Dinner ; Steak,pasta. size of steak? how much protein. no veg?!

Supper ; 3x wheatabix or rice crispies :pac:more sugar, no protein



Cut.

Porridge no protein!!

salmon no veg? how much protein

tuna no veg? how much protein

3x wheatabix or rice crispies no protein!! all sugar

Although I think I have fond your problem:

If you drive a 1000 mile trip then you need to know how much petrol you put in the tank. You don't just put in "some" and hope for the best. and if you do you can't be shocked when you run out before you get there.

You need a minimum amount of protein, around 1g per lb of body weight. You need a set amount of calories, around 300-500 more than you burn.

If youre not getting that then youre running on an empty tank and your body will start using muscle as fuel.

will be largely pointless, you cant out-train a bad diet.
