Hey!

Could anyone give me some help with the kind of diet I should have while training for my PRMC? I'm 5'11" about 11 stone and of a light/medium build. I need to build up my upper strength greatly as I'm only in my first week of training.

Is anyone else out there also in their early stages of training?

One word mate.... "Protien" & lots of it!

Good luck

Aye,

but i wouldn't over do it on the protein as if there is to much it gets converted to fat and don't go to muscles. well thats what someone told me im not sure if its true though

I stopped drinking about 4 or 5 months before but apart from that I eat what I liked. I don't eat Doner kebabs or that but a good Mc Ds alwawys tastes nice.

Besides when you get into training you'll be down dutchies each night asking for a plate of grease

hi,
im 5'10 tall and weigh 172lb (12.1 stone - 77.6kg) 16yrs old (17 in March 03).

i just eat meat (turkey, chicken, bacon mainly) and a few other bits here and there.

the ONLY 3 drink's i have are water (i drink about 1.5-2 litres a day), milk (1pint of mile on my cereal) and pure orage/pineapple juice. i NEVER touch anything else, i dont know why but after a while you get addicted to water

ive taken one of those Pro Protien 90 Plus shakes for 2 weeks till the rub ran out, they do work in my opinion, you notice the workouts get alot easier, im thinking about starting on it again next week, but at £15 a tub they are quite expensive, its what the Pro's use tho, it says take 2-3 servings a day on the tub, and each serving has approx 50 grams of protien in it, and the fella in the gym where i get it from said that for each pound of body weight, you want to eat 1.5 grams of protien, or it could be the other way round - i forgot


i dont think protien turns to fat if you dont use it up, i was told that you shit it out again if your body no longer needs to rebuild anything at that moment, i could be wrong

and im up at this early hour because i cant sleep

That's correct, unused protein is converted into toxin so is immediately excreted.

Blimey, this must be one of the shortest posts ever .

Come on Voodoo,
You can do better than that! Im disapointed! Surely theres some comparison somewhere with the something who what when where with the gizmo that such and such used....maybe...


PS. Indeed I too have heard excess protien is excreated from the body. The phrase "pi**ing your money away" has never been so true!

Everyone's body frame is built differently, there are three main groups.
Ectomorph, Mesomorph and Endomorph.
According to your group you body deals with protein in different ways.
My body type is Mesomorph, while i weight train 5/6 times a week i can never get enough protein as im using it all the time.
Muscle protein breakdown increases while or during training there is a significant increase in muscle protein synthesis for at least 24 hours after exercise.
Current research suggests that 1 gram per pound of body weight is needed to pack on muscle.
In theory as long as im training hard and my body is using the quantity of protein, all will be used and none will be lost.
If your not training or not training enough while bulking by either eating high contained protein meals or supplements, the protein turns into fat and what is not wanted comes out as waste excreated from the body.

That's the history lesson over for today.

I don't think Ive ever heard body types described like that, very interesting, I found a Site with a Test which gave me the following results:-

Your score is 2.08.

Your body is closest to a Mesomorph. You have a naturally fit body but to maintain it or improve it you should exercise and diet correctly for your type. Strength training can be done more often and for longer sessions then would be good for an Ectomorph, but you must still be carefull not to overdo it. You should train with moderate to heavy weighs and at a moderate pace, not resting too long between sets. You will find you gain muscle quite easy (some women and even men might not want to get too bulky, but this won't happen suddenly. When you are happy with your muscle size simply train to maintain it). Stick to a good healthy diet to keep you lean and muscular, and watch for any slow creeping fat gains. Engage in and enjoy aerobic activities, sports, etc. but do not overdo.

Here is a Link to the site:-

Thats a pretty good link Count, Im a mesomorph too I got a score of 2 which I think means Im closer to an ectomorph than you Count but I suppose my score is still pretty good

There's a fourth grouping; Anthropomorphic, it contains Rock Apes.

Theres one more as well,

"Greenvegetableomorphic". It contains.........

Thanks. I'll start eating more protein and carbohydrates. Looks like the old cans of tuna and beans in the cupboard could come in handy lol
