When I Started Working Out

How I Started

I started weight training because my friends did it and I was astonished at how quickly I could put on muscle on my body. So I kept at it to see how far I could take it.

Why I Love It

Stress buster, improved self esteem and confidence, I love the gym because I can get away from my worries and just focus on lifting and basically it is just fun!!

How I Stay Motivated

Surrounding myself with positive people and look at people who are bigger than me and strive to be like them.

My Worst Injury

I have been blessed......never injured.

I Would Love To Meet

Ronnie Coleman......yeahhh buddayyyyyy
Helio Gracie
Ricardo Arona
Jamo Nezzar
Dorian Yates
Sagi Kalev
Jack LaLanne

Goals

Main Goal

To be the best I can be which is to improve muscle size and put on quality muscle

Short Term Goal

stay at same bodyfat and try to put on quality muscle and not junk weight

Long Term Goal

to be fit until I die

Bodyfat Goal

Stay at 6 percent most of the time except contest

Weight Goal

i never check the scale......I use the mirror and focus on appearance

Favorites

Bodyparts (Opposite Sex)

glutes, legs

Bodyparts (Yours)

pecs, lats, shoulders, triceps, quads

Exercises

incline barbell bench, squats, weighted pullups
I also do a lot of jump rope and running 100 meter sprints or suicides.....I believe high intensity cardio burns fat the best and keeps muscle on very well. (Sprinter's lean muscular body vs cross country runner frail body with slightly higher bodyfat)

Healthy Foods

egg whites, whole wheat bread, natural peanut butter, chicken, steak, fish, and all the vegetables my mom makes when she puts all the spices in them

Not So Healthy Foods

pizza, huge burgers, hot dogs, chocolate, ice cream, cookies, cake or ice cream cake with cookies on the bottom......what a combo. I have a bad sweet tooth.

Supplements

optimum nutrition protein powder, creatine, glutamine

Hobbies

Bodybuilding, nutrition, mma, learning how to become a physical therapist

Magazines

natural bodybuilding, men's health, muscle and fitness, men's fitness

What are some good snacks?

Posted January 13th, 2009 by indianmusclemachine

I was just wondering what are some good snacks that I can take to class? I eat peanuts or walnuts everyday. Are there any other healthy snacks out there that I can eat which are pretty low in carbs? I just want to eat something to keep my metabolic rate up between my main meals. I am getting sick of peanuts and walnuts.

i just noticed you had rammstein in your music list!! they're awesome!! i love the german language. until you try to translate some of rammsteins songs. lol. they're really sick. but they made good music, so i just dont translate sometimes. plus translation can sometimes lose the meaning and feeling u get when just saynig the language.
hope all is well, hope you get the summer off too, laterz

Hey Bhai :) !!

Been awhile since i logged on to myfittribe...
Everything is going well...workouts are good, a little slow in improvement but still ok...
I'm trying to add in some body-weight workout weeks in my routine just to change things up a little..and i feel it uses much more energy than just lifting weights..
Your mom lives in Singapore, which part?
Singapore is not a bad place, a little hectic though, haha!!

Take care man!

Hi Jason
Here is the deal with high protein intake. In people with normal kidney function, increased protein intake has not been shown to harm the kidneys. However, if you have underlying kidney disease, increased protein can speed up the rate of kidney function decline. Increased amounts of protein, even at 1 gram/lb bodyweight causes hyperfiltration in the kidneys. This is has been shown in studies including the one done by me. However, no one to my knowledge has done a longterm trial in healthy people to show if this hyperfiltration leads to kidney decline. In diabetics, we have increased hyperfiltration early in the disease and their kidney function slowly declines. So hyperfiltration causing kidney damage is a possibility but I don't have any actual data in normal patients to support this with. I do think people overdo it with protein though.
Regards,
Sean Hashmi
