I have just read ono's bible lol, and was wondering if you could help me out. The thing is I used to do quite a bit of amateur boxing and then last year I broke my hand and wrist and I basically just stopped all training. Anyway to cut a long story short when I got injured I weighed 215lbs which is pretty much the same as I weigh now but my body was in much better shape then, I mean I was no Evander but on the other hand I was no James Toney either (I'm getting there now though).
Anyway I've just bought myself some Whey Protein Impact whey protein - Protein powders | myprotein.co.uk and some creatine Creatine monohydrate - Creatine | myprotein.co.uk as these were the supplements I used to use when I was training before.
My workout was usually about 90 mins long and was set out between a friend of mine who is a fitness instructor and the owner of a boxing gym and was set out in rounds of approx 15 mins each therefore i'd do 5 rounds a day with the recomended rest between each activity mon-thurs and then an hour in Boxing club friday and sunday with saturday resting.
For example i'd do:
-Hit heavy bag 3 mins.
-Speed bag 2 mins.
-40 sit ups touching right knee with left elbow and vice versa.
-40 crunches.
-Leg raises 90 seconds (just holding feet about 9-10 inches from floor).
-Bench press 70kg 50 reps.
-Work 15kg dumbells in each hand whilst doing leg curl of 40kg 20 reps each arm so 40 reps on the legs.
-Curl 40kg 10 times on a curling bar.
-10 push ups.
The above is one round and I would do 5 a day of these.
Before I started that though I would run on a treadmill at 10kmh for 3km one day and then the next day I would do a different type of running where I would walk at 6kmh for a minute then jog at 9.5kmh for a minute then turn it upto 16 kmh for another minute then back down to 6kmh and repeat. Altogether I did that excercise 6 times so 18 mins worth with a final minute of dropping 1 kmh every 10 secs from 6 to 0.
My biggest concern now is my diet. I don't think it will take me that long to get back into this training regimen again. I used to eat something along these lines.
Breakfast 7am.
Bowl of porridge made with skimmed milk. A glass of fruit juice and 2 raw eggs.
Running exercise 8am.
Protein shake and creatine 9am.
Work out 11am. Always with a banana and a litre and half of water.
1pm Dinner.
A bowl of homemade soup (an easy way to take a lot of vegetables on board I found) with 4-5 rice cakes.
5pm Tea.
Variation of Chicken and rice 2 days, Tuna and pasta another 2 days, Steak egg oven chips and beans 1 day, haddock or cod fillets with jacket potatoes cheese and peas and/or carrots 1-2 days depending on how strict I was being. Sometimes I ate what I wanted on saturdays as I did no working out on these days.
Throughout the day I would drink plenty of water and probably 500ml Smoothies and same again in fruit juices.
Could you possibly help me with a diet plan? I don't know how far off being reasonable my old one was but I have never been in as bad shape as I am right now and I really need to convert some of this flab back into lean muscle.
I am 25 by the way.
I've already sent this to ONO as a PM and then thought I might aswell make it into a thread and find out what all you guys have to say on the matter. please help lol.
