drink a big glass of chocolate milk within half an hour after your work out for maximum protein absorption

then eat 4-5 small-medium high protein meals a day rather than your typical 2-3 big meals

This guy has it pretty close....

Things you want to do: eat 5 meals a day (3 regular meals, 2 snacks) and exercise

Things you don't want to do: cut fat, sugar, or any of those things that the media says is bad.... just avoid copious amounts of any of them and make sure what you do have is high quality

Fat helps keep you full longer, you need sugar for energy, etc. etc.

google menshealth and go to their website

cut calories and do a fuck load of cardio
your body stores extra calories as fat
the trick is to burn more calories than you take in, so your body goes to your calorie reserves (fat) and takes from there, meaning you lose fat.

but also eat right, dont starve yourself, just eat low calories and good nutritious food.

Don't listen to anyone in here everyone's body is different and most of these kids have super fast metabolisms. Search around on the internet this is not the place.

you will get a lot more results with diet and working out than working out alone. You pretty much know the drill, lots of protein and veggies, low carbs and sweets, dont eat 3 hours before bed, 6 meals a day.

No powders, if you want to really lose weight and you are already a bigger guy just eat high protein meals, and work out. If you already have extra fat, your body will burn that and turn it into muscle, works a lot better than powders.

Here is my workout - and I keep myself pretty trim,

Upper body workout 3x per week for an 90 minutes (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday)

Core Body Workout + Cardio 2x per week (Wednesday and Friday)
  - 40 minute run and then Core workout for 60 minutes.


Eat smaller and more nutritious meals. Carb up about 30 minutes before your workout - you don't want to burn muscle. Also, if you want to build Muscle try to get a protein shake that uses whey protein. I personally use AMP, but to each his own.


Like people have said, you need to find out what works for you. You should be worn out, burning, and a bit tight after your workouts. If you find that you end your workouts feeling fine and ready to go, then mix it up and change your routine.

Honestly, P90X is just another workout plan that happened to work for someone. Just because someone can get buff doing 'X' exercise does not mean you will.

Also, when doing weightlifting, aim for sets that are roughly 10-15 reps - any more and you should be adding more weight. If you find yourself doing 20+ reps while adding weight, then changee something in the exercise.


Thats all the tips I have. Started this routine about 2 years ago and I have never felt better

I'm big into working out and just some easy things to be aware of when eating, stay away from white pretty much, or white breads or noodles

also try thermo cuts, there a pill that boosts your metabolism and increases your body heat to help burn off more fat

also for using protein powders you have to find the right one some protein powders help gain weight, some are for muscle growth, and others help lose weight, im just started to use a whey protein and its supposed to ok pretty well and its relatively cheap if you don't use gnc. pm me if you have any other q's

I have found that expensive. And if you are trying to just loose weight and not gain muscle you should not really be using any powder, you need to lift a lot to use all that protein if you just are trying to loose weight just eat a bunch of lunch meat each meal and egg whites 6 times a day.

You really only need powder if you are trying to build muscle and need to OD on protein, at lest in my experience. If you still want to take protein get some whey gold standard. Just look on the nutrition "facts" and find something with low calories, fat, sodium, basically just protein and all the b vitamin shit they put in there as well.

dont do PX90. shits for gay men and housewives.


check out this site.order starting strenght by mark rippitoe.
http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/Starting_Strength_Wiki

learn how to deadlift and squat. press and bench are important as well.
deadlifting and sqaut are so important especially in an activity such as skiing, you will see progressing in your skiing because your legs and back will be jacked. squat heavy and squat often.


as far as protien shakes its a good idea but remember it is a nutrional supplement and a replacement. drink a serving before and after your workouts and eat a good high protien meal shortly after(4-6 eggs or 8-10 oz of lean meat)cut down your pork and beef consumption and add in chicken and turkey.

if you want to lose weight before your weight traning do 20-40 minutes of cardio(reccommend eleptical or running) count calories. eat a ton of fruit and little proccessed food. if your diet is good have a cheat meal once a week to trick your metabolizm and keep you  sane.

look into forums such as anabolicminds.com and there are a ton of resources there.

good luck.

its easy to lose weight naturally

all u need is discipline
 -avoid fat food  exemple: fried bullshit
 -drink water      no more pepsi
 -exercise often (you need to sweat)
 -read on the most efficient food because some food have more nutriments for their calories so thats what u should be getting.
 -only eat when your hungry.
