going for a bfi of 9%

[stuey]

any suggestions on things to eat that dont taste too much like cardboard:tired
i am currently 16% and i am giving myself 8 weeks to hit 9%.

any help appreciated:good

i would recommend first keep portion sizes but switch to healthier foods. some stuff that doesnt taste too bad are grilled chicken(if you put a little seasoning it doesnt hurt) lean steaks, tuna, salmon skim milk, eggs mainly for protein. for carbs, plain oatmeal tastes like shit IMO but flavored is not too bad, sweet potatoes, brown rice are the obvious carb sources. whole wheat pasta, bread, cream of wheat are also good choices. after you start eating better, just cut down portion sizes graudally, mainly the carbs,(However, do NOT eliminate them.)

also dont forget your cardio.

currently 81 kgs. reckon i will need to drop 5-6 ish.

i think my training routine is good enough, i just need to eat no junk, and lay off the sauce:twisted: .
this is why i wanted advice on food, i am a picky facker who really likes burgers pizza etc. if i did not train like i do, i would weigh over 100kg's easy.
there is a fat cunt in me, lurking around, i need to supress the facker:D

[younghypnotiq]

you might be right babes, but i am the type of individual that needs goals, and because my goals are no longer fighting, i have to set myself something tough, but doable. i will get the health implications out of the way when i meet my personal trainer next week:good

please only retards try to insult each other on forums... and what he said was true only half a percent of everyone on this forum is able to give "qualified" advice

back on topic, i would suggest getting a personal trainer =) they are quite costy tho

just a few tips i would like to give you so you can continue your training while waiting for the trainer

1.drink loads of tea in the morning will help burn some fat for you
2.i would have to say drink tons of water and saunas wont do anything for fat percentage, most the people i know aiming for low fat percentages go to saunas but never drink enough water
3.on your weight workout do compound excersices(bench, squats, deadlifts) first then go do isolations excercises(bicep curls, calf raises) after.
4.never work until failure cause that will tear down muscle, even if you take whey protein or eat tons of simple carbs right after
5.try to work in 3sets of 8 reps since they seem to build most muscle for people

and good luck with your training =)

I don't think it's realistic to make it from 16% to 9% in 8 weeks if you're an average guy, and by that I mean you don't work out for a living. I'd give it twice that amount of time.

[average_joe]

stfu u donno wat ur talking about. everything i have said on this site is 100% right

Everything hmmm? Hey stuey here's some more good, 100% right-as-rain advice from the resident idiot: to prevent getting cut up and to harden your face, dunk your head in a bowl of alcohol before you go to sleep every night.

I'd think carefully before you listen to his advice.

listen retard. just because i cant type doesnt ahvea nything to do with my fighting skills and ability to make workouts.

If you know so much about workout programs, why the fuck are you always asking for advice on here, dumbass?

Stuey, I'm close to your age (36) and after years of playing various sports and training in various ways, what I do these days is 2 x weight workout per week, 2 x boxing workouts per week, and 1 or 2 (depending how I'm feeling) jogging.

It works for me, and it gives me the option of having a night off if I'm tired, and still be able to get back into it without feeling I've slackened off too much.

Obviously, to reduce bodyfat you have to burn off fat and watch what you eat, but another big help is doing big weights - they kick off your metabolism and really get it ticking over, so you're burning off cals while yoru resting/recovering. Add that to your cardio work and you should have good start.

This is just a general idea of how you could breakdown you diet and training to reach your goal and maintain a very healthy diet.

DIET: 2500 calories a day.
- 10oz Grains daily (oatmeal, cereal, pasta, rice)
- 7oz Meat (lean steak, chicken, turkey, tuna fish, eggs)
- 3 Glasses Milk (it won't hurt to use 2%)
- 3 Vegetables (salad, potatoes, corn, a glass of v8 does count.)
- 2 Fruits (bananas, berries, oranges, a glass of 100% juice does count).
- Multivitamin Daily (no description needed, just take one).
- Protein Shake directly after workout (optional)

TRAINING: 5-6 days a week.

Monday/Wednesday/Friday
- 2-Mile Run (increase by half a mile every two weeks until you can do 6 miles)
- 50 Pushups (increase by at least 10 every week until you can do 100)
- 50 Situps (increase by at least 10 every week until you can do 100)
- 3XMAX Pullups/Chinups (alternate between the two for different benefits)
- Weights (individual goals that you want to meet)

Tuesday/Thursday
- Boxing Workout
- Jump-Rope Intervals.

Saturday
- Play a sport, in your case (cricket).

Sunday - REST, IMPORTANT.
