| good question...i dunno. but when i eat oats i usually eat them raw...and i only buy the steal cut oats because they are easier to eat raw hehe...they don't get as milky in your mouth... |

| Aye, I have same...just never eaten em raw haha. Maybe its an enzyme thing :conf: gah...google time |

eating them raw is just really blah thats all hehehe. it's like eating nothing...
i'm gonna have to try the applesauce thing omegasox suggested...that sounds like a good idea... |

sorry to break it to you guys but eating raw oats is useless, the body simply won't digest it. i used to blend it in the morning with whey n' stuff and it got me nowhere. if it's the whole awkwardness of cooking it which you don't like (which is me) cook a couple of days worth of it at once, you can then reheat it in a microwave. pour over cream and it's quite nice |

Oats are useless? They are probably the best source of fiber you can consume. I found out about the oats and applesauce idea from a guy who competed in Mr. Universe. He was a guest speaker at my college. He said he ate a big bowl of oats and applesauce every morning for 8 years. |

Lolz. I remember when i was on campus and I used to lift before class at 5:30a. I would eat a can of tuna, three small bags of baked Lays, and drink a 20oz Diet Coke.
Those were the days!
But seriously, if you can get ahold of some bagels, they make a pretty good practical snack that you can take with you. I used to do that also and then stop at a mini-mart on campus and get a small lofat milk pre-workout. It wasn't the ideal meal but, it worked. |
Awesome, thanks man :D Problem with me is though, I'm not much of a breakfast eater - yeah I know, it's the most important meal of the day and all. I dunno, I feel like puking if I eat more then a slice of toast - just have to adjust and force myself to eat :p
I used to swim in the mornings in first year, great way to start the day, you get totally energized. But when 3pm rolled around I'd just crash, like my body would be exhausted. You working out at 5:3am - get tired later in the day? Guess the best way to get around that would be to grab a quick nap or get a little sugar in?
Speaking of oats - porridge is a great way to get your daily dose of them. Kinda the same way as adding applesauce to it - better then eating it raw. Lately I've been putting a variety pack of different grains into mine - add a little bit of brown sugar and mmm mmm good :D
Here's the way I've broken up my schedule - any input, additions and the such would be totally helpful. Keen in mind I'm using free weights, and not using a straight bar when doing chest.
Day 1: (monday)
Chest, tri's
4x12 Flat bench
4x12 Incline bench
4x12 Flies
4x12 Tri rope pull downs - palms up
4x12 Tri rope pull downs - palms down
4x12 Tri overhead extensions (my absolute favorite exercise!)
I do throw in dips once in a while too.
~200 crunches
Day 2:
Back, bi's
4x12 Lying t-bar row
4x12 Seated cable rows
2x12 Hyperextensions
4x12 Alternate hammer curl
4x12 One arm dumbbell preacher curl
4x12 Preacher curl with E-Z bar but with reverse grip (man does this rip the forearms)
~200 crunches
Day 3:
Shoulders, and either bi's or tri's
4x12 Front dumbbell raise
4x12 Front plate raise
4x12 Military press
And repeat from above on either bi's or tri's
Day 4:
Repeat Day 1
Day 5:
Repeat Day 2
I don't work out on the weekends because of work.
I've been neglecting leg's - but after reading up from the comments from all you on how they totally help you grow as they release hormones I'm gonna have to start back up on them. Man do I hate doing legs though - I've got a knee that clicks and some of the motions just are so uncomfortable.
Thanks for the help!
