Hey everyone. I am looking for any and all tips on eating, working out, supplements, etc on how to define and bulk up.
Looking at most of these posts i guess i will follow suit and give everyone a little background here.
26 years old 165# 5 10, Chinese and Scotch Irish heritige. Started study in dance when i was 13 and that was my primary for of exercise until i was about 18. Started light lifting then. At 21 i began studying yoga as well as Krav Maga, Boxing, Ninjitsu, Capoeria, and Arnis. I began really learning more about weight training and body building about three years ago.
I am currently a dancer, and i teach conditioning and hip hop, as well as a 9-5 desk job. I am able to commit at least 4 days to the gym, and need to divide my time wisely between lifting and cardio. (need the endurance for stage)
Im pretty sure i will never get huge, but looking less like Robin and more like Batman would be great!
I eat a farily balanced diet of lean highly digestable protein and fruits and veggies. I dont consume a lot of dairy, however i do tend to prefer red meat. I am not opposed to hearing thoughts on supplements and changes in diet!
I have a knee injury and have noticed that certain exercises will make it “flare up” as it were. But its nothing i cant get past (After hundreds of kicks and punches to various parts of my body, years at a ballet barre, contorting myself into almost unhuman positions and 26 tattoos i can handle pain)
As far as cardio OTHER then dancing i use elliptical machines often, and when i can i swim. In spring and summer i have been known to take some time to run out doors. Lifting options obviously are limitless. ALSO i am extremely flexible, and cannot afford to lose that flexibilty.
Alright everyone, gimme what you got! If you have any other questions that would help me out i will be more then happy to answer them!
Thanx everyone!
