you just need to tone up, your lean man

Well thanks for the encouragement. Looks like I'm gonna switch to HIIT training though. Sounds like I'll have to hit up the indoor track after school. Any problem with doing your HIIT on the same day as weight training with about 1-2 hr break in between?

Are you sucking in? If not, you definately dont have a gut. And your trying to cut? If i was you i would definately be trying to bulk right now, unless thats as big/strong as you ever want to be.

If your trying to cut, the cardio should probably be done right after you workout, as your glycogen stores are really low then. If you decide to switch to bulking, the cardio should be done on opposite days as workouts as it makes it just that much harder for the body to get in calories to build muscle.

If he was doing solid state long duration cardio I would agree, but if you pound away at the wieghts, then try and do HIIT your not gonna get much out of it. you'll be dog tired after one or two sprints.

I agree the kid should be bulking, if you lose anymore wieght your gonna look like a cancer patient, but if thats what you want, split up your cardio and lifting by more then a few yours, i'd do sprints in the morning, then lift at night.

I'm going to mexico in feb! Thats why I'm tryin to get the 6-pack, I know I'm not huge but it'll definately be better then being a fat mess if I were bulking. I'm going to bulk starting as soon as I get back most likely. I'm gonna weight train today and then I have a class where I can eat and restore the old energy stocks then I'm gonna try and do some HIIT after that. I'll tell you how it goes.

Doesn't alway work that way man, If your bulking you want to eat as clean as you can, that way your bf will be in check....now if you went and ate cheesecake all day, well then that's what you would become.......Not saying that I don't like (or eat) cheesecake.:biglaugh:

+1 for clean bulking

iron_worker 01-13-2007 09:56 AM

Do you really think I could lose fat AND gain mass? I dont' think it'd be very effective.

Scorcher2005 01-13-2007 11:08 AM

Yes, especially since more muscle would make you appear to have less bodyfat.

iron_worker 01-13-2007 02:52 PM

What would I add to my diet if I were to start "clean bulking" as you say? More carbs?

Scorcher2005 01-13-2007 04:04 PM

Well, lots of protein, watch the fats, keep the carbs to around your workout, especially the high GI ones. Read the sticky "What a bodybuilder eats" to get a nice grocery list.

iron_worker 01-14-2007 09:34 AM

Well it sounds very similar to my diet already... You can check it out in the thread a couple down from this one called "A newd that needs some guidance" or something along those lines. I posted up what I'm eating in there.

Dr X 01-15-2007 03:13 PM

Bulk man, don't worry about the what little gut you have.

iron_worker 01-16-2007 11:55 AM

Well I guess I could add some more carb cals but I think my diet is pretty good already. I just started the basic 5x5 program on monday and DAMN my legs hurt like hell right now so the sprints are gonna have to wait a while. lol.

The IronBull 01-24-2007 02:52 AM

Bro...I would highly doubt you could get fat from bulking...even eating a couple of cheese cakes a day.

Remember this bro....more muscle means faster metabolism. ;)

Clean diet in really high protein, low carbs equals lean muscle mass
