Anyone have a dietician or someone I can speak too? I’m starting to bulk up but at the same time I’m growing love handles and somewhat of a tummy, I’m not fat by any means but I’m starting to harvest unwanted fatness Daily intake - 180-220 g protein, 3-4.5k calories, I could get more detailed Basically I want to keep bulking up without developing blob like characteristics, I havn’t had an issue with this before until recently ---

Cut down on calories. Unless you’re unleashing hell’s furry and an all-you-can-rape buffet, just starting out, you’re not likely going to need 4k calories. Protein’s are good, lots and lots. Try to clean up what you’re eating, and dial back on some of the larger portions. Split up larger meals like lunch into smaller meals. For example I eat Subway footlongs a bunch when I can’t plan, I ask for them to be cut into thirds, and wrapped in the flat bread envelopes they have. I’ll eat a third every 1-1.5 hours over the afternoon. I cycle caloric intake based on workouts and how I’m feeling. If my schedule has me beat up, I’ll eat a little more, and it helps my moralle. If I’m off a day or two of recovery, or a light day, and feel good, I’ll dial back a bit. Watch carbs, no huge pasta meals, no half a dozen dinner rolls with butter, and so on. Don’t go full atkins, but slim down on the starches in your diet. ---

Don’t starve yourself, just cut down. Eat clean when/if you’re going to overeat. Chicken breast & broccoli … punish it. ---

As a heads up to anyone in Rochester, my friend has recently opened a new strength & conditioning gym. If you’re interested in this type of training, come check it out. It’s all strength & conditioning equipment. - KBs & DBs - EFS rack - Mono - Legend GHR - Westside Reverse Hyper - Competition Benches - Lots of specialty bars. - Olympic platform and bumpers coming soon - Carpeted path for prowler runs - Tires - Battle ropes etc. Lots of nice equipment and access to lots of knowledge. The only place in Rochester you can get access to some of this equipment without having to pay for Crossfit.

You can’t put on significant mass without gaining a little body fat. Not saying you have to turn into a flabby fat ass, but if you’re on a mass gain program and are unhappy with body composition then get lean first, then go back to mass gain. ---

Whether you love or hate crossfit, you can’t dispute the results. I did a one month crossfit challenge (after already doing it for 2.5months) which also involved following the high protein, high fat Paleo eating style. My 30 day results: Weight: Down 11 pounds Arms: Increased by .25 Chest: Down 1 inch Waist: Down 3.5 inches Hips: Down 3 inches Legs: GREW 1 inch each! BF%: Dropped 5.6% ---

Someone who reads about it on the internet off the couch and goes WOD-killing is going to end up in a hospital. I see greater results with women personally, male crossfiters are generally pretty small, and hard gainers who couldn’t bench 300 who quit and went to crossfit. Women who don’t end up as cardio bunnies, or menopausal fatties on the hamster wheels who actually lift gain many jams doing crossfit. ---

Women who don’t end up as cardio bunnies, or menopausal fatties on the hamster wheels who actually lift gain many jams doing crossfit. won’t you get that from anybody with no workout experience on a couch who chooses to kill any routine they choose to push to the extreme? I think it’s pretty hard to catorigize that all crossfitters looks like string beans. There are some pretty big dudes that work out where i go, including a couple of NFL linemen who are being extremely challanged. It really depends on how you want to scale the workouts. Just like any routine, you can try killing it with tons of reps and low resistnace or you can throw on a ton of weight and fewer reps to build the size. Anybody who knows me, can vouch that i have some huge legs and to grow them another 1" in 30 days (total of 27") while cutting fat is a pretty good testiment that you can build muscle with this style of working out. I tried to focus my first 2-3 months on getting the right form, especially in the olympic lifting. It took a lot time to get the feel and form some muscle memory on the routines. I’m still not perfect and usually fault when i get fatigued, but i’m getting better. Bottom line is i LOVE it, i haven’t gotten results like this EVER, and i have a TON of energy, I have gotten tons stronger, and i’ve been working muscles i never focused on before doing excercises that are fun because the routines are different every day. Not to mention, there’s some pretty hot South Florida women doing this too. ---

Fat loss? Muscle growth? Speed or strength increase? Mobility? Crossfit is good at taking a person and making them smaller while building some endurance. It won’t make you bigger, faster or stronger. But it’s all about what you want to accomplish. I myself have gotten bigger, faster, and stronger. All while losing some good body fat…which so happens to be everything i wanted to accomplish. I still have more to go to reach my goals though. ---

Cross-fit is the hipster version of working out. I respect the work-outs and mix some techniques in, but that is about it. ---
