im probably gonna be wrestling at 165. I weigh 177 right now, but I started taking creatine, which boosted my weight up. I want to be around 168, and near tournaments drop easy.

I try to cut right, many small meals throughout the day, cardio, drink a lot of water. It worked for the most part, now Im just trying to gain.

Are you doing all of this bulking up and training now, just to have to cut weight when wrestling starts up again? Well im trying to gain muscle weight then cut on excess fat when wrestling time comes.

Thing is I wrestle during sept to feb so I have to stay at a certain weight or cut at that point, and im training just for just strenght, hence the 3 rep. So in the summer Im eating a lot and want to get bigger. I dont want do any high rep or such thing.

Hey guys, I was wondering around when you should change your routine, and how? Ive been doing a routine of 3 reps -3-4 sets type thing, and I feel like I have platued, but I do not want to switch the amount of reps I do. I prefer to remain with the same exercises becasue I feel my form is good with them. My routine is as follows: Mon: squat, Incline BP, SOHP Tues: DL, BOR, Pull ups (recently added) Thurs: Same as monday Fri, BOR, and originally cleans but I feel my form is lacking, so I took that out. I might do light deadlifts on this day and pull ups. Lately, my DL's have been getting worse, my max was 315 at one point its now a struggle to lift 285. How would I go about to change my routine to continue on the road to become stronger? Thanks. I still want to coninue the 3 repp scheme.

hey guys, for the first time Im gonna start taking some creatine. Im 6 ft. 170 pounds, and want to get bigger. Im probably gonna go with the monohydrate at gnc since I can get a discount off of it. I was told to take 5-10 grams after my workouts (4 day) and take the same amount spread throughout 5-10 grams in a 8 hour split on non workout days (3 days of the week). Is this a good idea? Thanks.

Hey guys, I am 19 and currently 172, got some fat on me (belly on, etc.), but I want to get bigger right now, becasue I wrestle in college in october or november and will have to start cutting weight, so I want to eat a lot now and get bigger. The current supplments I take are whey protien, fish oil, mutilvitamin. I am trying to eat a lot more lean maeat like chicken (not freid), trukey, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, egg whites, eggos, etcs. I have a couple of questions regarding bulking up. I got some info from this website. http://www.t-nation.com/readTopic.do?id=1268956 What is the caloire range I am looking at? I am also worried about eating a lot and then becasue I eat a lot, expanidng my fat cells so I get fat easier. This is a HUGE worry, just because lets face it, noone wants that. Will this happen? What type of supplements should I take aside from the ones I take there? I do work in gnc, but still dont have too much of a budget since I pay for alot of my things. I was thinking maybe a whey casein mix found at gnc? , or this weight gainer to take once in a while. http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2666690&cp&sr=1&origkw=mass+xxx&kw=mass+xxx&parentPage=search I would try the cytogainer, but it has alittle amount of servings. I was thinking about taking creatine, but I do not know too much about it, and In september I want to get a head start on cutting fat so I do it healthily, so I cant have all taht eextra water in my muscles. How much calories should I have? I have read the stickies, and Urban seemed to mention in a parat that you should eat a larage vareity of things, including pizza, even ice cream if you want to. But wouldnt that make you fatter? I hear thats unhealthy, and in that article I posted it seems to mention that. I do bjj 2-4 times a week, so I also keep the cardio up, I dont want to stop training, But I will try and eat more to replace that. I also work fri, sat, and sun, so I work 8 hour shift sometimes and it gets hard to eat a lot in between those hours. Maybe that weight gainer beofere I work to make up for it? I have high cholestorl, but it is lower, and this is why I want to eat, clean, but a lot, so I can gain strenght to. I m noto worried about that. Incase your wondering, my lifting routine is good, 3 rep DL, squats, Incline bench press, etc.... WHats the deal with BCAA? is this like a bodybuilder thing. Sorry for all the questions, if anyone wants to pm me, thats cool. I learne d a lot from you guys (cut weight during wrestling season and didint put it all back ) If a knowledgable cool cat like Sohan can give suggestions and answeer these questions taht be sweet. Thanks a lot.

i think i will do that, continue wrestling and some bjj.i guess i jsut want to rush and doo mma as soon as possible.

I had anotehr class today and was getting tapped by white belts. its making me so mad im at the brink of qutting and starting judo or something. maybe ill just do no gi.

Hey guys, I did bjj for a year then went off to college where I continued grappling in a wrestling club. My takedowns have gotten a little better but not by much. In december I was home for a month and recieved my blue belt despite being a little rusty. I went back to college and wrestled some more in the club, but for not much long since the season ended and i sprained my shoulder. Towrads the end of the school year I continued a little more and now I am back and have had my second class of jiu jistu. Problem is that I feel rusty, even bigger white belts are giving me problems. Not subbmitting me but getting good positions and stuff. I am kind of confused because if evey year I come back from college and am rusty in bjj, will I just never learn anything? I like bjj a lot, its awesome, but maybe something else liek judo for now will help me in my grappling expeierence,, or should I contune bjj? I cant do in college, incase your hopin to suggest that. Thanks.

oh i wrestlse at college and bjj when im nto at college, so im good on that, i run over many times. for strenght gains, im trying for this.

hey guys, i was doing something like the 5x5, basically same days same workouts. i was talking with a personal trainer in jiu jistu about how cutting weight from wrestling started to decrease my stenght and so on. he then suggested for me to do something different. he suggested to seperate my workouts into push and pull days, and do up to 3 reps. He devised two workout shedules, the second one being the more updated one. The first workout he suggested these workouts and 3 sets, 3 reps. Monday- Push: Bench Press, Squats, Standing overhead press, ab work > Tues- Pull: Deadlift, Bent-over row, pull ups, ab work > Wed- nothing, stretch or something > Thurs- Push again, ab work > Fri- Pull, ab work After I talked to him again, he suggested a workout thats a little different. He took away the horizontal workouts (OHP, and pull ups) because he siad the bent over rows and bench press workout those mucles enough) this is the new one. He also put for push days, rectus exercises, and for pull days, oblique exercises. Push: Super Set Squat and Benchpress. Squat rest a minute, bench press rest a minute, than back to sqaut etc. Until youve completed 4 sets of 3. Im thinking 4 sets might be a little better than 3. After youve completed these sets do your weighted sit ups (or other rectus exercise) with a minute rest between sets. Use 1 exercise for about 3 sets of 5-8 reps. Then youre done. Pull: Super set Deadlifts and Barbell Rows. 4 sets of 3 reps. Heavy Wood Chops (or other oblique exercises) 3 sets of 5-8 reps Btw, the second one he sent me in email, so tahts why its in the second person. Is this a good workout? i dont like the second one, because in the gym, i cant keep switching between the bench station and the squat station. its hard enough to get any of them alone as it is. if i dont do that, then 2 minutes should suffice between sets right?

yeah i figured some of the fat would ba e problem, and ill defnitely be eating some more breads for the fiber and veggies. your help is much appreicated as always, thank you.

i got a wrestling tournament on november 5th, and am weighing at like 170 pounds right now. i need to get to 165, but would rather do it by shedding body fat then water weight. here is the first couple of days of how i have been eating so far. Tuesday 9:30- egg and sausage sandwich, yogurt perfeit. 1:50- %100 whey with fat milk 4:00- 2 grilled chicken sanwiches and a smoothie. 7:30- 1 and half grilled chicken, 1 cheeseburger (wihtout bun) and 1 friedh chicken without skin. 11:30- protien shake with water. Wed 12:00- little bit f beef, grilled chicken, and a little bit of pasta. 3:30- chicken and turkey wrap and small salad. 5:50 protien shake with fat free milk. 7:30- turkey and chikcen wrap and an apple. Thurs 11:00- 2 pieces of chicken freid, shepards pie, a cookie (oculdnt help it) 1:15- protien shake with fat free milk 3:30- chicken and turkey wrap and protien shake with water. 5:30- big 100 collosal protien bar 8:30- 2 grilled chicken patties 12:30- protien shake with half milk, and half water. keep in mind that im in college, and i try to eat as healthy as possible, its jsut sometimes theres no grilled chicken, and im forced to deal with fried, stuff like that. i no the diet is far from perfect, but for cutting weight, what do you guys think? i am also wrestling 3 times a week, and lifitng 3 times a week for strenght, so i hope cutting weight will not hinder my strenght training.

ok, and before i go to sleep, drinking a protien shake with water is good to keep my muscles from staying strong right? complex carbs would include things in like pasta and rice right? and simple carbs which i can have at night are in fruit and salad?

ok cool. another thing, until what time should i have carbs? i go to sleep around 12 am, and someone told me after 1 pm i shouldnt have any carbs.

ok, sounds good, thanks a lot. on a side note, how much calories should i be consuming a day if im cutting weight? i weigh 174 and am 5"11. and whne i start gaining back, how much calories should i consume then? thanks.

any of you guys know anything about this product? they sell at at vitamin world. http://www.vitaminworld.com/pages/file.asp?xs=0027CC8E0B454D6FA171CCA7F151013B&PID=1699&np=0 http://www.neurops.com/Nutrition.html of what i was told, this helps lower stress and cortisol levels, and hleps improve your brain function. this intrests me cause before i came to college (im a freshman) i was having trouble sleeping, and im sure it was due to stress. occasionaly its the same thing, so i think this might help. i also want it to help me in my school life, cause college can be tough, and this might help, even though this is not a priority since some hard studying will do the trick, but some help is nice. lastly, i gotta lose 10 pounds for wrestling in a little over a month, and while im losing the body fat, im gonna be honest, i was to see my abs, and this product supposedly known for lowering the cortisol levels can help. i aslo dont want it to come down to me just losing water weight, so that i am not weak. so, what are your opions on this product? its $30 for 60 capsules, ill be taking 2 a day before i work out. Secondlyhow should my diet be to help me lose weight in wrestling? its hard to eat good food sometimes bieng with what the college feeds me. i lift 3 times a week for strenght and power, and having wrestling practice 3 times a week. il run a little if neccasary. any help is appreicated. thanks guys.

ok, another thing i wanted to bring about odor is of the feet. how does that work and how do you get rid off it? not that i really have it, onlyon certain days, but its bothersome. sorry to bring this up again lol.

yeah haha, thye try to play things off as healthy but its really not. they say 40 carbs but not ho wmuch sugar is in those carbs.

ok, thanks a lot sohan, and also for the advice on the misth press. for my curiosity i picked up the mcdonalds nutriotion guide to see about the mcchicken cause ive been eating those a lot. i figured since it was chicken it be good. thanks

when lifting weights, does it matter how early or hgow late you do it? also, how much meals should you have before you lift? is it alright if lets say you had breakfast and thats it? thanks

hey, i was wondering when benching, do you go all the way down and touch your nipples? and also, what is the difference of doing the regular bench press and of doing the clip on bench where there is something holding the bar? and is the bar the same weight on those things? thanks

the shoulder push ups are wierd. my back would hurt when doing them. i guess i would arch them too much.
