I wont get into the amount of protein a person should have, argument/discussion, you guys are having. I just listened to what my trainer is telling me, which again, is a coach at two large universities and a prior Olympic dead lifter. He may be wrong, but its working for me in terms of muscle growth (or keeping it), and my net calorie deficit is definitely working. As 200 was the goal, and 207 was what I weighed before I took a shit. I take Animal Pak vitamins every morning - 6 large pills of all kinds of shit along with the fish oil pill. If Im missing something, Im sure itll bite me on the ass sooner rather than later, though. But Im wrapping up the program with my trainer at the end of next month, so thats that. Ive watched so many people come to this gym and never see them again, that regardless - I know Im doing better than the large majority of people.
While in the Army, I got my two mile down to 11:54 seconds, pushups and situps were around 54 for a single minute. There is no doubt about it, I was in the best shape of my life when it came to having a runner's physique (17-22 years old). The reason I bring this up, is because I remember my last PT test and I weighed a whopping 158 pounds. Doing the math for what my measurements are saying, if I had 0% body fat - I would be at ~180-185 pounds. Im just confused to the point that.. did I really have that much less muscle mass in the Army? Or am I just doing the math wrong somewhere. I just dont understand it. I definitely dont have the burst or limberness that I had back then, but I didnt lift any weights at all and Im wondering if I just had a physique like Lumi's?
