My Contest Prep

[NeoSeminole]

thankfully no. Then I would have been in serious trouble as I would have probably needed to be airlifted to a hospital to close the wound as soon as possible.

misombra, there is a layer of fat under the skin called subcutaneous fat which can be measured with a caliper to estimate total body fat.

[vashti]

Use some neosporin cream on it to prevent infection and keep the wound bed moist.

I think she was implying you have little bodyfat, sir. What's your diet like? and do you do phases (bulking/cutting)?

Aegis says, "I'm not gay! Unless you are."

Neo, you're looking good. What are your goals before the competition?

[NeoSeminole]

Aegis, don't worry. I intend to keep you guys updated with my contest prep in this thread. However, I don't want to just talk about me. Everyone is welcome to leave comments and ask me any questions.

DoodleMan, I cycle my carbs between high and low days to shock my metabolism. I'm also eating a lot of protein (approx. 250 g). Yes, I alternate between cutting and bulking phases.

No, I was most certainly not, at least not an inappropriate amount. All bodies have a fat layer... some are just thicker than others. Neo's is a skinny little layer.

[DoodleMan]

vashti: I'm sorry, that was a casualty of poor grammar. That's what I meant, that you were implying that he has little bodyfat (as in not very much at all).

neo: word, I've been carb cycling for like 3 months, and 180g of protein a day (I weigh 165, at 6', skinny bitch ); still can't gain more than like 5lb of muscle mass to save my life though.

Do you only eat organics? (whole grains, no preservatives, etc)
Thats probably the best change I made, I feel way better and have way more energy at all times.

[shh!]

Damn, don't any fat and ugly people use the internet?

[misombra]

i feel ugly and fat when i'm in this thread lol.

[shh!]

Oh, psshh! I know you aren't fat and ugly.

[NeoSeminole]

DoodleMan, try increasing your daily intake of protein, complex carbs and healthy fats. I guarantee it's possible to add muscle no matter your body type. If 2,000 calories a day isn't working for you, then bump that amount up to 2,500 calories. Eventually, you will start gaining weight.

I don't care whether I eat organic foods or not. Research shows non-organic foods contain the same nutritional value as organic foods. Plus they are cheaper. You're mainly paying for the difference in taste.

Lookin' good DoodleMan!

[DoodleMan]

Con: Thanks

Neo: Yeah I feel ya. According to most calculators my basal metabolic rate is like 2300 calories if you count how physically active i am, so I try eat 2800kcal spread over 6 or 7 meals a day, 320g carbs, 180g protein, good fats, but sometimes its like force feeding myself.

I'm aware that nutritionally, for the purpose of muscular development a carb is a carb and protein is protein (in regards to the organic vs. processed argument); I just do it for the sake of putting less pesticides, preservatives, steroids/hormones and other chemicals and shit into my body.
