CrossFit Workouts

I am a 17 year old male. I am 5’10" 138 lbs (62 kgs). I am athletic, and have a lean body type. For those of you who know CrossFit, i am a member. I exercise 5 days a week, not including extra running and sports. I eat 3 meals daily organic and balanced diet.
My goal is to reach around 145 lbs

Consume 1 gram of protein for every pound of body weight.

So in your case, 138 grams of protein daily.

im 17 years old and i am working out 4 to 5 times a day (crossfit) im skinny so im just wondering if its possible if i keep on working out can i get a six pack without haveing a strict diet like i still eat carbs but i stick with wheat and all that stuff

thanks!
btw i don’t need a diet i just need to know if i need to cancel out my breads and have a strict diet to get a six pack

no, diet is absolute key.
if you want lower bf(which brings out the abs) avoid carbs

I’m so excited to start P90X this week! I have been athletic all of my life with gymnastics, swimming, and cheerleading and have recently done Crossfit for 6 months. I eat healthy but haven’t had luck in the past with a strict diet plan so I just keep track of my calories.
I’d like to loose 5 lbs with my first round of P90X and want to get more toned. Can I do this without following the nutrition plan to a T? Thanks!

Theoretically you would still get results. BUT, the first phase of P90X you are supposed to do a fat shredder diet, which is higher protein, which helps lower your body fat. It’s not really a strict diet plan – just planning a proper ratio and portions. I actually found it a very easy plan to follow.

Good luck!

Just a little insight. I’m about 6’1", 195 lbs, athletic build. Not super-shredded, but not chunky. I would call it buff i guess. Anyways i’ve been eating STRICT paleo 3 meals a day, with 2 snacks, 1 in between each meal. I also run 3-4 times a week for 40 mins, and do crossfit 6 days out of the week. I’ve only been on paleo for like 3 days now, but i’m just wondering anyone have an estimation of when i should start to see results? I have 6 months left on this deployment, and i’m trying to shred myself up before i get back so my wife is like holy sh**!

There is no better or faster way to bring your body to a state of optimal health than with a low carb way of eating. It balances out hormones & allows them to function at optimal levels. This is particularly important to body builder because it maximizes testosterone & human growth hormone.

I would highly suggest you log all foods into an online journal (like fitday.com) to get a complete picture of your nutritional profile.

I don’t know much about the Paleo Diet other than it includes combinations of lean meats, seafood, vegetables, fruits, and nuts. Which are all good healthy foods. My main concern is that there are not enough calories in fruits or vegetables to fuel the body & I definitely don’t think the body should be fueled by protein for long term. You will lose weight using lean protein as fuel since protein is such an inefficient fuel but it’s not healthy long term.

My current diet (over 6 years on Atkins program) has evolved to be based mainly on seeds & nuts. Seeds & nuts are perfect for a high fat way of eating – most have 70-80% of their total calories from high quality fats. Sunflower seeds as well as almonds are the highest natural sources of Vitamin E. Ground flax seeds & chia sees are the highest vegetation sources of Omega 3 fatty acids. Coconut oil has incredibly health promoting saturated fats.

If you eat protein without sufficient fuel calories from fats or carbs, then you convert dietary protein to fuel leaving no protein for cellular needs, forcing the body to catabolize it’s own lean tissues. Carbs may be optional, but fuel calories are not but they can come from fat or carbs, but not protein. There are not enough calories in fruits & vegs to fuel the body.

If you don’t keep your calories high enough, the body will strip it’s own lean tissue for nutrition. Although that may look great on a scale it will make it MUCH easier to accumulate fat in the future (since all that pesky lean tissue burning up calories will be gone).

Protein is a very inefficient fuel to use exclusively for long term & the byproducts of the conversion to fuel can be dangerous if they overwhelm the body faster than the body can clear out the nitrogen & ammonia..

Just for example – Someone asked "what if" about a diet of 500g of pure protein (2000 calories a day)

500g protein with no fat would be fatal. Fat is essential but protein without fat will cause diarrhea & then death. So this next bit is only hypothetically speaking.

500g of protein only would turn the protein into a fuel source and not be able to be used for tissue repairs & cellular regeneration. So although you would think 500g of protein would be sufficient for these needs, it would be converted to a very inefficient fuel source with a dangerous buildup of nitrogen & ammonia (byproducts of gluconeogenesis). The body can handle some of these byproducts but not large quantities for long term. So in essence, all this protein would be processed as fuel and the body would STILL have to catabolize it’s own lean tissues for a protein source. 100% of the protein would be needed to convert to 58% glucose – it would be equal to fueling the body with 1160 calories of carbs and NO protein (IF your only ingestion was 2000 calories (500g) in pure protein).

It’s confusing to eat SO much protein and have none bioavailable but your body requires FUEL calories (which can come from fat OR carbs or both) AND protein.

BUT if you ate more than sufficient protein with more than sufficient dietary fat calories AND controlled carbs to less than 9grams per hour (Maximum carbs would be 144grams day or 576 calories) the balance of fuel calories would HAVE to be from dietary fats – at 9 calories per gram.

As long as you have <9grams carbs per hour, you will maintain insulin control & shouldn’t gain weight, no matter the calories because insulin, the fat storage hormone is not activated. Controlling insulin levels will balance out other hormones & allow sex hormones (testosterone in males) & human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so lean tissue will be gained even without exercise.

I highly recommend adding virgin coconut oil to your diet. All fats can be used for sustained energy, but coconut oil is the (only) fat that can be used for quick energy like a carb.

Im gonna start mma around july because we are moving to fort walton beach this summer. And i was wandering how I should get in shape for it. Im doing crossfit now and lifting weights, I have some boxing gloves and wraps. What other stuff should I be doing to get ready? Im kind of a big kid, Im 6’2" and 198 pounds and Ive got fat to lose. So also what diet is good for mma? Paleo?

Hi

MMA Training is different from other types of training because it has to be high intensity. This means that you need to train like you would fight, with as little rest as possible.

MMA Training also involves various types of training which impact strength, endurance, speed, agility, and power. So that means you need to find a program that shows you the best way to approach your training.

A good diet will be high in protein to help your body to recover from your training, and healthy carbs to provide energy for your training. I wouldn’t worry too much about dieting to lose fat, because if you train the right way, the fat will disappear pretty quickly.

My husband trains in MMA and he says that the training has to be really tough to cope with what you experience in a fight.

Have a look at the resource below for some good MMA training workouts

There is no single diet that works for everyone, so stop asking!

I’ve been hearing more about how it is now possible to genetically enhance an adult to make them more athletic. How does this work? How safe is it? What are side effects? What’s the legality? How expensive is it? What kind of difference could it make?

I’m currently overweight, on a healthy diet of veggies fruits, lean meats, and complex carbs. I work out multiple times a day, but my body isn’t changing as effectively as others do. I’ve been at a healthy diet and workout routine for years now and am still not achieving the results I desire. In 2 years I’ll be in BUD/s and I feel like despite doing Crossfit and other things I’m still not going to be where I need to be.

Please give me your sources!
Both of you are wrong so far as I know for a fact it has been tested and worked perfectly fine on mice. I’ve been to the labs doing the research myself. I was wondering on human application. Don’t say it’s sci-fi because I KNOW it’s going on as the government has been upset by it and talking about ethics laws. Can someone please answer who isn’t guessing?

there is currently no way to genetically modify an adult to make then more athletic. Sorry, but you were misinformed. maybe in a few more years
