Gym talk
in Other Sports ·
Well, I’ve been sitting here reading through everything, and I figured, why not toss my two cents into the ring too?
My schedule is a bit of a whirlwind. I work from 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM, then I have to rush off to lectures... so there's this little two-hour gap in the middle somewhere
between hitting the campus dining hall... and heading to the gym three nights a week before I finally call it a day. By the time I get home, it's usually around 9:00 or 10:00 PM.
So, here is how the fuel breaks down: first thing in the morning before work, I'll grab half a serving;
then I eat at 8:00;
I eat again around 10:30;
around 12:30 is another meal (plus an amino supplement);
at 3:00 PM, I have a shake;
then 6:00 PM,
and finally 9:00 PM... which is dinner along with my aminos.
On the days when I'm really pushing myself in the weight room, I'll layer in creatine, L-glutamine, some carbs, protein—basically just doubling up on the shakes.
That's the routine, my friend.🙂
Honestly, looking at the world today, I don't think most people actually have the bandwidth for those super specialized, rigid diets. I mean, sure, some people pull it off, but they’re incredibly lucky when it comes to having the extra cash, the free time, and—most importantly—the sheer WILLPOWER!!! And hey, massive respect to them if they can do it.
As for me, I’m pretty happy with where I’m at. I'm strong and I've put on some size, even if I haven't quite carved out those perfect abs or reached the peak physique I'd like to see... but I suppose that'll come eventually, once life settles down and I find more time.
