hi all
(warning, bit of a long winded post, but please bear with me :) )
okey dokey, here's the deal. i've just moved to thailand for as long as it takes in order to do one thing, and one thing only - eat a lot, train, and eat some more. i'm a 5'8, 135lb skinny bloke, and sick to death of it. i've trained on and off for years, and the most i can put on is a few pounds. i'm lucky in that i am naturally lean, but i want to hit 165lb - and i have never been more determined in my life. as i said, i've literally moved to thailand to reach that goal.
diet: i've done my own research, and i now know about what i should be eating and when. i plan to eat 6 times/day, every 3 hours. all i eat (and have done for quite some time) is fish, chicken, pasta, rice, fruit and veg. it's so easy to do in thailand - very cheap and very available. now i know i need appx. 150g/day of protien, about 25g/meal - but how do i work that out? how much protien is in that meal i just eat of 4 giant prawns, rice, sushi and veg??
also, carbs i know they come from rice, pasta and such, but how much and how do i work that out?
my training: ok, i know now i need to do low reps, and high weights - especially squats and deadlifts (i'll get the guys in the gym to help me with those two, never done them before). no problem, but can anyone point me in the right direction of a good workout for, say, my first three months. i found one on the net (day 1 chest, triceps,abs, shoulders day 2 back etc. etc.) but no specific exercises.
supplements: i think i have this one sussed. MYOPLEX for protein, UDOS oil blend/flaxseed oil for fats, EAS antdioxent and finally multivitamins. sound about right??
i know this is a bit of a long post, and thanks for bearing with me so far - what can i say?? if you're ever in thailand, i'll show you the time of your life!!!!
and for those interested, this is why i've gone from working out "a bit" to really being focused and determined. about 3 weeks ago, a guy gave me a good kick-in. now don't get me wrong, i'm not in this to be "hard", but he was a short chap, but well built, and as he was pounding my head in, he just kept going on about what a "skinny @~@~@~" i was, and from that night on, i vowed that no-one, NO-ONE, would EVER call me skinny again. that is a true story.
thanks in advance,
david
