Cardio and Lifting Schedules

[BastardChild]

What is the recommendation? To lift one day and do cardio the next? Or to do both and take a day off?

If you do lift and do cardio at the same time do you lift first and do cardio after, or cardio first and lifting after?

Also related to diet, the recommendation seems to be for red meat but I have also been recommended to eat chicken and seafood instead of red meat. Are all proteins really equal? And would you call pork red meat it kind of looks pink to me.

This is one of those "there will never be an answer" questions. Everyone is different.
Imo you expend more energy lifting (at least i do) than doing cardio so i would do cardio work after weight training. Currently i dont do any cardio but if i do its after weight training or on off days from weights. Im more concerened with strength than endurance right now so weights take priority.

Yes all protiens from while food are basically equal if your strictly talking protien only and not all the other shit in the food (fats, sugars etc). Put 1 gram per pound of body weight (provided your not a fat ass) in your mouth daily if you are trining hard. 1/2-3/4 of a gram per pound if not.

Pork is considered white meat (by Americans anyways).

I hit cardio usually three days a week, as the previous poster said lifting should probably be your focus at first to increase t and burn fat more quick.

I was doing powerlifting, the 5x5 workout for about a year or so, then I would do cardio on Tues Thur and sat.

[BastardChild]

I am doing short sprinting intervals up-hill and jump rope for cardio, I go on a 5 mile run once every two weeks also, other than that just strength training every other day. The short sprints do a lot for strength as well. I kind of need the cardio just to get the blood pumping into my muscles, I think I am finding my own answer here, do cardio as a warm-up before lifting, I have enough time to work out for an 1 plus everyday anyway so why not? And take a free day every other day to rest and shitpost.

[ns20004]

Yeah I like sprints and jump rope as well...smart to stay away from long distances which will destroy your knees.

[BastardChild]

So you think going for more protein than one gram per pound of body weight is useless? That is not enough calories for me, so I should fill those extra calories I need to take with rice and vegetables? I was hoping someone would come on here advocating the all red meat only red meat diet.

[ArtiIntel]

I do think more than a gram per pound of bw is plenty enough. There are elite level athletes that will go 1.5 grams but they are swimmers and long sprinters etc.

Yes whatever calories you have left fill with carbs. Dont forget to count your fat intake also tho. Fat is 9 calories per gram where as protien and carbs are 4 cals each per gram.

I prefer red meat but i dont really advocate any certain protien source. Just get the shit in your belly. Lol

I forgot the details, but from having read multiple books about White explorers in the arctic, you die if you eat nothing but meat. In relation to most things, I think doing what is most natural in our evolutionary sense is what is closest to ideal, and would therefore recommend the paleo diet as far as eating goes. It is a bit more work and effort than how we normally eat, but it makes every meal feel like an investment in yourself. When every meal constitutes an investment in myself, it is a lot easier to make the investment in myself to develop my physical capabilities, and the results have been great.

apparently we should all be doing HIIT - High Intensity Interval Training?

which i think are short sprints that make sure your body is releasing plenty of HGH

[Corsca]

I have read a fair amount of the research on naturally increasing your HGH. There were three things that I found that are legit:

Eating a diet with a low glycemic index (paleo) and never spiking your blood sugar.

Consuming protein (without carbs) prior to sleeping.

HIIT (sprints) as you described.

Edit: HGH is a pretty cool hormone. Its natural release pretty much correlates with being alpha as fuck. In maintaining its release you have to exercise the self-discipline to not over indulge in biological inclination (sugar), but must choose instead to invest in your health as a person.

Throughout our evolutionary past, which constitutes 99% of our history, in order to get meat you had to kill to get it. You were required to apply yourself to successfully take life so that you may prosper. This means being willing to take a risk, and doing what is necessary to ensure your objectives are realized.

Finally, you basically have to be all in. When you work out/ exercise with intensity and take very short (like 30 second) breaks, you are telling your brain and body that it needs to keep up with your uncompromising will, and it responds by releasing HGH.

I'm not trying to be a purist on the subject, but basically, you have to earn naturally released HGH. We only deserve and we will only acquire what we earn and obtain for ourselves.

Make sure to stock up first

Eating a diet with a low glycemic index (paleo) and never spiking your blood sugar.

So do french fries and rice fall into the shit thats bad for blood sugar? I don't drink soda but I would hate to lose the potato.

Also I avoid protien powders because I am lactose intolerant and I read on all their labels that they are made from milk. Is that a legitimate concern?

[Corsca]

Unfortunately potatoes are about the worst thing for you as far as your blood sugar goes. With the paleo diet you cut all grains, legumes, potatoes, and milk products from your diet.

This chart will tell you how some different foods compare to each other:

All whey products are made from milk, I always had some trouble digesting it too when I took a lot. I just rely on meat now, though it is a bit more work.

[Halligan]

How do you build muscle on the paleo diet? Without being able to eat carbs or milk, it seems you'd need to be eating all day to get the required calories

[BastardChild]

I typed in some numbers into gram vs lbs converters and going off the idea that I need a gram of protein for every lb of body mass that goes into about 1 1/2 lbs of meat a day. That is a lot, if I can I eat 1 1/2 lbs of meat a day I do not need to eat that much other food, some rice and some juice for vitamins does it.

[88ShadesOfWhite]

Cardio directly after weightlifting burns more energy/fat. I like a long inclined walk on the treadmill after lfiting and then non-lifting days I'll try to get a session of HIIT in.

[Corsca]

Particularly in today's world where the path of least resistance is presented as both reality and a moral imperative, doing what is historically natural for us as White people is what is going to be healthiest for us. Paleo is just eating what we evolved eating, there really isn't much argument against it, though I recognize the validity of your question.

It does take up more of your time eating paleo, I don't even really like spending time on food, but my muscle mass has increased since being on it. To give you my honest assessment of the diet, aside from added chewing, I don't really feel like I spend any more time actually eating, but I do have to spend more time going to the grocery store for fresh food, and more time preparing my meals.

The ultimate benefit for myself has been that though I am investing more time and energy into my diet, I know that every meal is an investment in myself. This creates a mindset where I am pretty much always investing in myself, and it is therefore much more natural and easier for me to invest the time into working out. When I eat shitty I don't really exercise that much, but while investing myself into eating paleo I am much more keen on investing energy into being as fit as I can. End result being that I build more muscle while eating the healthy paleo diet. I have heard from podcasts that your body is much more suited to benefiting from eating natural fats while not eating carbs. It is my understanding that it is healthy for you to consume more fats while not eating carbs, and you can get extra calories by doing so, though within boundaries I'm sure.

[Halligan]

Yeah I'm not questioning the legitimacy of the diet at all. I have no doubt of its healthiness. I am pretty much on a paleo diet myself currently, although I went on it to lose some body fat. Eating no carbs or milk makes it incredibly easy to put your body into a caloric deficit, which is what is needed to lose weight. On the flip side, you need to be in a caloric surplus to gain muscle. The average guy needs at least 3000 calories a day to gain muscle. So, I'm just wondering how you get there on the paleo diet. 1000 calorie meals from just meat and veggies would require a TON of meat and veggies, no?

[FromJewToDust]

I can eat cashews until my mouth hurts from the salt. Excellent way to boost calories.
