Supplements and Diet

jb203 · 09-29-2008, 07:50 PM

What do you guys use for supplements and diet. I am 37 but still love strength training and want to start doing the right thing as far as diet and supplements go for size and strength. One could read for days about what works and what doesn't so I figured I'd ask to see what REALLY works for you all.

I appreciate your replies, things are going good for me right now and I'm hoping to keep it going.

High calorie diet consisting mainly of Chicken, Tuna, Lean Ground Beef (96/4), Potatoes, Rice, Granola, Low Fat Cheese Its, Almonds, PB & Wheat Bread, oats, some fresh fruit on occasion, lots of greens, greens twice a day in large amounts, weekends I eat lots of steak, greens, and a couple cheat meals here and there. My body wants to be about 220 or less at 6'4, so I have to force feed myself healthy and good shit all week long, then on Saturday and Sunday I have one cheat meal each day and just loose it. Mainly I try to get 1.5-2 g of protein per lbs of bodyweight, and I try to carb up until about 3-4 in the pm. I pretty much have to eat until I'm sick of eating as though it's my job.

Sups
Protein powder - EAS Whey Protien 2xper day
Amino Acids - 1.5x Recommended daily value or whatever, 6 caps a day before wkout, after, then in the PM
Creatine - The cheap kind, before and after the workout
Waximaize - Do 1 serving of this post workout, then the protein and aminos and creatine follow 20 mins afterward.

i have to watch my food intake some,as i compete in the 198lbs div.but since i started deadlifting again 5wks ago,i've gained 3lbs,and am at 200lbs exactly now.not sure if i'll be able to remain in the 198lbs,the pulling has made me hungrier the day of and the day after as well.and once i start squatting again,hopefully in a couple of weeks,i'll probably be eating everything in sight.once i start training in my rage-x,if i can get my bench to 500lbs then i won't worry too much if i'm in the 220lbs div.but i'd still like to hit 500 at 198lbs.
i eat lots of chicken and ground beef 93%,lots of whole grains and dried fruits and lots of vegetables.lots of eggs,the omega eggs.i pretty much make my own meals for during the day,but for supper i have to eat whatever my wife usually makes for all of us,which is usually good,we don't eat shitty in my house,and we don't eat out that much at all either.my kids think that mcdonalds is a treat,and pizza too,because they don't get it often.we always cook our meals,my wife never buys meals or food pre-made.
everyday i make myself a high-calorie high-protein shake with whole grains and good quality fats.i blend up whole milk,whole fat cottage cheese,rolled oats,natural peanut butter,wheat germ,flax meal,olive oil,whey protein,and whole eggs(i microwave the eggs for 30sec first).this might sound excessive,but i don't drink the shake all at once.i spread it out throughout the day and just make sure that i have it finished before supper time.i know the shake helps my metabolism and my energy levels,because on days i don't get the shake i feel like shit.this shake was a part of the new routines i started about 6 months ago and since then my strength has been skyrocketing,on my bench and my deads have been increasing as well.
coach is dead on with the supps.creatine and glutamine and amino acids before and after workouts is a must.i only use 5g creatine on non-training days as well as 5g glutamine and 5g aminos.i never load creatine either.i personally don't think you need to,i think they just tell you that so you run out faster.for my pwo shakes,i use 1 serving waxy maize in 16oz gatorade with my protein,creatine and glutamine along with flax meal,the fats aid in pwo recovery.
