Probably not but any of you low carb?
Im looking for low carb high fat but it's hard
If you need Nutritional advice for Low Carb/High Fat Diet drop me a pm. I'll be more than happy to help you out. I'm fully qualified
I just need ideas, getting bored of having the same food every day!
For the Fats eat:
Peanut Butter
Salmon
Pistachio Nuts
Beans
Cut down on the Potatoes, Bread and Certain Cereals if you want to lower your carbs. But make sure your eating enough Calories. Around 250-500 below your BMR Average.
Any advice for losing weight? Currently doing elliptical cross trainer every day. Do you reccomend interval training on it, and how does that work? Want to lose around 15lbs. Any tips on what NOT to eat and what to eat and stuff?

Quite easy on not what to eat. Avoid processed foods and sugary foods (always check labels). Eat vegetables with dinner, fruit and nuts to snack. Drink glasses of water as much as you can (obviously not too much). Also protein food like chicken etc.
If you're cross training it seems like enough cardio, could even play a bit of a sport you enjoy.
Stupidly excited for next Thursday...Have been stuck writing my dissertation and unable to go to the gym and have been eating crap cause I can't find the time in between doing my work. Will have finished by next week and crack on back in the gym seeing as I'm in such bad shape right now
Once I'm on study leave im going to start going to the gym four times a week (as opposed to two or three times a week atm). Does anyone have any advice for me? Eg specific splits/workouts, exercises etc
Does anyone have any good advice for eating more and gaining weight? Beyond the obvious: eat more
If you wanna gain weight, you need to eat more than you burn on daily basis.
Or you can order weight gainers. I did, and it helped me gain weight.
But, what kind of weight you wanna gain and how much? You wanna get "fatter" or gain more muscle weight?

Imo HITT exercises are the best, and it takes like half an hour each day.
Or you can try a diet where you don't eat for 16 hours and eat normally the rest 8 hours. It really works.
About food:
Either reduce sweets or, you can still eat them, but you will have to measure how much you intake and burn on daily basis.
To put it simply, don't eat junk.

Same here, because of the college, I don't have time to workout anymore All I can do is reduce food I eat. It sucks.
Once I'm on study leave im going to start going to the gym four times a week (as opposed to two or three times a week atm). Does anyone have any advice for me? Eg specific splits/workouts, exercises etc
I've tried many different splits and i have to say my current split is hands down the best one I've used.
I've gotten crazy strong and i have made a lot of muscle during this bulk. My split goes like this : Upper Body, Lower Body, Rest, Upper Body,Lower Body and rest on the weekends

What sort of things do you do in each workout?
i usually do a compound movement and two isolation excercises for each muscle part. For example: Shoulders. Ill start with a Military Press (Compound Movement) and ill finish it off
with Lateral Raises (Isolation) and Sitted Rear Dealt Raises(Isolation). Then maybe ill do Biceps: ill Start of with Chinups ( Compound movement) and then ill do Preacher Curls(Isolation) and Hammer curls(isolation ). You get the idea . If you have any other questions let me know

Cheers man, that sounds really good.
I'm fairly new to this, I've been doing Stronglifts 5x5 for a while now, so I'm not too knowledgable on different isolation exercises (Stronglifts is all compound movements)
Do you mind PMing me a few of your favourite isolation exercises, or maybe a typical workout you will do?

Yeah no problem man ill pm you during the halftime of the Arsenal game
Your split depends entirely on what you want to get from your workouts
Get stronger/build muscle
Still for the most part they're generally considered to different things
Being a beginner I'd stick to 5x5 with compounds to gain strength, the size will come along in the beginner, and compound movements are essential in any workout programme IMO.
My wendlers split (Strength based) is Mon-Chest (Bench), Tues-Back (Deadlifts), Wed-Off/Cardio, Thurs-Shoulders (Mil press), Fri-Legs (Mix between front and back squats) (Although I never use to do that because of my hip operations)
Then 4-5 accessory movements ranging in 3-5 sets in the 8-12 rep range for me usually
Accessories
Mon-Chest and tris
Tuesday-Back and bi's
Thursday-Shoulders
Friday-Legs

Thank you
I've been doing Stronglifts 5x5 for a bit, but I'm getting bored of it now(same two workouts) and want to mix it up. It also doesn't lend itself well to going more than three times a week and I want to go four times
So you suggest having 4 workouts, each based on a compound lift(as you've said) with accessories? I'd appreciate some suggestions for good accessories if you don't mind
A day for each compound/main body part and once you've got the bulk of your workout done i.e your compounds, move on to your accessories. Most accessories have cable/dumbbell variations and also your incline, flat and decline stuff as well
Chest-Flyes, Dumbell press, pressups
Tri's-French press, cable pull downs, Kickbacks, close grip bench, Skullcrushers, tricep dips
Back- good mornings, bent over row, reverse flyes, lat pull downs,single handed row (A lot of row variations, pull ups
Bi's-Hammer, preacher and normal curls, chin ups
Shoulders-Arnold press, dumbbell press, lateral raises, front raises
Legs- Lunges, calf raises (There are machines but my gym doesn't have any of them...Leg extension, hamstring curls, hack squat, leg press,adductor and abductor machines)
So going off the advice of those on here as well as one of the PTs at my gym, this is what I have come up with so far
Any advice?
Deadlifts 5x5's as well
For the days where you're working two major muscle groups I'd definitely add more volume on the accessories. You should be looking at 4-5 accessories each day. Usually 3-4 sets of 8-12 reps for the accessories/isolation work as well. Finally I wouldn't leave the accessories the same every week either, I'd switch them up a little, change 1-2 of them from week to week etc
Rated E For Everyone.
