Yup....its about time to start getting off my ass.

Im too lazy to research the shit so waht I need is:

A detailed grocery list and what to eat for my meals

AND

A daily workout routine (maybe 5 days a week). Everytime I walk in a gym I see all the shit but have no idea what to do.

lol o/u the # of days phi follows this.... I'll start the bidding at 1.5 ;-)

Seriously, GL tho.

No wait, fuck that. It's not about luck. It's about willpower.

you're getting s degree in aerospace engineering?lool

this is what i do , if your looking at a 7 day week....2 day fish, 3 day chicken, 2 day pasta. lean ground beef only. no steak no burgers no junk. Brown rice, potatoes, steam veggies for dinners...lunch i usually have higher protein food like tuna salad. Mixed nuts for snacks, and oatmeal or oatmeal cereal with skim milk, drink water mostly or protien shakes.usually before i go workout i like to have a pasta, the complex carbs and sugers give u the energy to workout so it wont stay in your system long. most fats and calories will be burned off while the complex carbs can be converted to muscle.

workout depending on body type...i wear sauna suit and use bike for about 30 mins, crunches and sit ups only (old school) run 4 days a week, work yourself up to 5 Kilometers. all depends on what body type you are, how overweight or if your looking to build muscle. when weightlifting i try to do 15 reps every exercise in the gym try to do it with 75% of what u can max lift. or if your looking to get big, im 6'1 and 215 dropping 15 lbs just ran alot with garbage bag (cheap sauna suit) taped over my torso.

huh?

<H1 class=pageTitle>Carbohydrates For Muscle Building</H1>
Carbs are your muscles preferred energy source for short intense muscular contraction e.g. weight training. Carbohydrates provide the energy for weight training sessions as well as play an important role in recuperation as well as muscle growth.

When you ingest carbohydrates, it signals your body to release insulin that transports the amino acids and the carbs into muscle cells. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and their absorption by muscle is one of the core process of muscle growth and repair.

Carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in your body muscle and it is this glycogen storage that gives the muscle their fullness. This is the basic idea behind carb depleting and then loading before a contest. The idea is simple, when you deplete your body of glycogen and then "carb up", your body stores even more glycogen then before in the muscle. This makes them look larger, tighter and more ripped than before.

Consumption of carbohydrates trigger another process known as 'protein sparing'. In protein sparing more of your protein is used for muscle building instead of being used for energy requirements. 'Protein sparing' plays a crucial role in your nutrition program.

Another key idea to understand here is that essentially all carbohydrates are broken down into blood sugar during digestion. When your body has excess of it, it stores some of it in your muscle as glycogen. As long as these glycogen stores have space they store the excess carb calories. Once this glycogen stores are full, the excess calories get stored in form of fat.

should i go into further detail?

Complex Carbohydrates- The second major carbohydrate category is complex carbohydrates, also known as polysaccharides. Complex carbohydrates are formed when thousands of sugar molecules are linked together in long chains. They are again divided into two important categories

• <LI>Starchy Complex Carbohydrates - Starch is the storage form of energy in plants, much like glycogen is an energy storage form in human muscle. Starchy carbohydrates are found in potatoes, cereals, grains, bread, pasta, rice, oats, wheat and beans. <LI>Fibrous Complex Carbohydrates (Fiber) - Fiber is the indigestible portion of the plant and therefore passes straight through your digestive tract without all the caloric energy being absorbed. Fiber gives bulk to the intestinal contents, promotes healthy digestion and elimination, speeds the transit time of food through the digestive tract and provides protection from gastrointestinal diseases and colon cancer. Fibrous carbohydrates (green vegetables) help you lose fat because they have a low calorie density</LI>

So I'm right complex carbs are NOT converted into muscle.

FWIW I'd recommend having a clean complex carb meal after a workout and fibrous vegies with ur other meals. Really depends on ur goals..

Muscle is not glycogen! Glycogen is stored in your muscles. Your muscles appear bigger because they are full of glycogen stores for energy. and yes I read the page.

hahahahahhaa u just proved my point carbs turn to glycolgen and in turn are turned into muscle...sheesh do i have to spell it out?

if all mice are called geese and all geese are called goats then its safe to say that all mice are goats....basic IQ question

eating carbs builds muscle thats all i gotta say...using the carbs properly is the key

Argh I just read your other posts, maybe we don't agree :( I give up believe what you will
