Olympic lifters/Crossfit workout and diet thread

I'm a WOP. No, I'm not politically correct, and call myself that, as well as laugh when others do. Blacks in America are the one's who are off limits minus my g/f who voices too many opinions, while knowing I'm the one with the CCW, and will "protect" her. I told her recently I'd throw her out of the car, and that didn't go over too well. Help! lol! Women... I don't care what color/breed/whatever they are. It is what it is... Anyhow, here's what was this evening's dinner:

Mediterranean pan-roasted Salmon
1 tsp Basil
1 tsp garlic powder (DO NOT buy the cheap shit. Buy McCormick's gourmet for $2 more, or something comparable. The grocery store stuff is shit.)
1/2 tsp Oregano
1/2 tsp rosemary
1/2 tsp Sicilian sea salt
1lb FRESH (not farm-raised) Salmon
2 TBS Extra virgin olive oil
2 TBS sugar (Yes, cut this out if cutting b/f)
1 large Fennel hub
1 cup cherry tomatoes
lemon juice to taste

Cover, and steam over medium heat for the first 6 mins, then stir gently. After another 6 mins you're done. Takes a "whopping" 15 mins to prep to table. I'd rather not go o/t in this thread, but will give the occasional idea here and then. And btw, triple these ingredients, and store the rest IMO as long as you'll consume it all w/in a week. If doing a show, and are three weeks out despite your conditioning, shelf this. Three weeks out is another thread for another day... @ 3 weeks out, taste is no longer a concern...

I've gotta clean up the dinner mess from earlier + deal with other issues with my Anadrol-taking young Son moving here... Don't ask. His "momma" has let him get away with so much dumb shit recently while she does her "thing..." That's a whole different thread for another day comparing today's "improved" female to yesterday's "dumb" male... If you need to know how to cook this, pm me so we can keep this thread on topic that way. it's easy. The main thing is making enough to last a week + be fresh when eaten. Very easy to do, yet 99% sadly won't keep up with this...

I am going to try your recipe this weekend. I haven't gone into diet (not dieting) yet, but I eat salmon 2-3x per week.

Fish, beans and legumes are the mainstay of my diet. I'll go into detail (opinion, is all) this weekend.

Acupuncture appt.

No worries. Pm me, and we'll go from there to keep your thread on topic. The food is easy. The hard part as you know, is the K/P. Hate that! Best wishes

Cool recipe. I had left over salmon (cooked over coal with olive oil, garlic salt, and basil) and a HB egg earlier after my workout with 40 grams of whey. Tonight it's egg whites, NY strip with all the fat removed, and Ezekiel sprouted bread and 40 more grams of whey 3 hours later, at the end of the day. Dieting hard right now. Lost ten since we talked about wheat a few weeks ago in the other thread. 12 lbs to go...for now. Glad I have an understanding wife.

Only competing with myself, but want to see if I can get halfway ripped at my age.

Look forward to some of yours and Drown's (and others) ideas on supplementation and diet. I agree with you...great thread! Hope some training techniques and related pros and cons can be discussed as well.
 
For those of us who aren't body building I wonder if anyone would be willing to reduce this laundry list of supplements to something more manageable and more relevant to the goals of someone who just wants to get stronger.

I'll add my two cents about diet here as well. I've had a lot of success losing fat and gaining muscle using the carb back loading protocols. Its probably more suited to crossfitters, and power lifters than body builders but I really am ignorant on the BB side of things so I don't know.

None of those supplements have anything to do with resistance training, purely for longevity, immunity and nootropic benefits. I will get into my w/o specific supps this weekend.
 
You can learn a lot from bodybuilders just as you can from a competitor in any endeavor. Obtain the information and decide what level you want to take it to.

Bodybuilders have much different goals then pure strength or power athletes. I'm not sure I agree with you. What would I learn as a weightlifter from (for example) a marathoner or a basketball player?

I have no interest in hypertrophy, isolating muscles and the lot. I know that there are a lot of very strong bodybuilders but it seems like a fundamentally different approach where strength is a byproduct of the goal of trying to look a certain way.

Flexibility is also something weightlifters hold at a premium that I believe a lot of bodybuilders are indifferent to. Even the approach to diet seems different. I might do some slight bulking during a strength phase and some slight cutting afterwards but it is nowhere close to what a competitive bodybuilder would do to themselves.

Now some weightlifters end up looking like bodybuilders but for the most part they seem like different species.
 
Outstanding! And Increlex? Even better! That's the REAL deal. I'm getting a receptor grade IGF that's literally blown the gropep out of the water, and gropep used to be the "gold standard" among the top NPC, and IFBB. If you're getting Increlex, you've done it up right. Btw, what's your dosing schedule with it? Mine is 50mcg on w/o days post w/o. I tried it pre-w/o, but the pumps were so painful, I couldn't get much done. I also had to sip high glucose shit while training, as I'd wind up going hypo if not. That's not a good thing in any way shape or form.

Increlex is not the same as LR3. The doses are so much higher that they're not comparable. The research is that Increlex is less prone to feed blood-borne mets, so it's a matter of safety. I don't do it often and prefer GH for lipolysis.

Site inj can cause myogenesis. mTOR is more a factor in Increlex than LR3, AFAIK, but then the dosing is approx 10x higher.
