6 Bizarre Lean Muscle Building Diet Tips

11

On December 28th I announced The Biggest Gainer Challenge specifically for male or female hardgainers, sinny guys and gals that is.

The deadline for all submissions is July 1, 2009 and I’ll be awarding the top success stories to a trip in Cancun Mexico! The only catch is that you have to provide me with video documentation of your progress.

In this blog, I am going to bring back one of the competitors, Joey Vaillancourt who was featured last month and has provided some very inspiring and educating lean muscle building diet tips today that you can find in the video below.

You see why Joey is experiencing consistent and continual success?

Here is a guy truly committed to his goals, 10 out of 10. Let’s recap some of those muscle building nutrition tips:

1. Treat your nutrition the same as your training. Every ‘spoon or fork’ full is another ‘rep.’ Every ‘plate’ is another ‘set.’ Give equal meal preparation and planning to your nutrition as you do to your training, if not more.

2.Rotate around your fruits and protein powder flavors. You can apply this to all your foods, variety is really the key to avoiding boredom and to make tasty and delicious muscle building meals.

3. Start setting two days aside each week to prepare your meals for the rest of the week. Joey sets aside Wednesday and Sunday which takes about 1 hour each time but frees up the other three days to do the things you enjoy doing without living in the kitchen cooking and cleaning.  I’ll add, do this when your favorite TV show is on to kill two birds with one stone.

4. Rotate your meals around every 4-6 weeks and alternate your meats. This is really smart of Joey and in the process he learns new recipes and can get better and better at finessing certain meals until his friends call him Chef Pasquale. This also ensures you’re are shuttling a different pool of amino acids and nutrients to avoid deficiency’s in your body.

5. Plan a cheat meal each week. I fully agree with Joey but would call his ‘cheat’ meal a ‘treat’ meal instead.  I like how Joey enjoys a cheat/treat meal with restrictions.  He strategies this meal around when he deserves its which is how cheat meals should be used properly.  If you cheated all week, don’t feel good about eating pizza and nachos on Sunday just because you schedule a cheat meal on Sunday.  This is just ignorant.

Take a lesson on how Joey positions his cheat meal after a workout for minimal body composition damage, yet still experiences the psychological benefit of indulging.  Note how Joey also doesn’t go crazy with the portion sizes and uses common sense.

If you have a question for Joey Vaillancourt, I’ll have him stop by and answer any of your questions.

Since I’m flying off to New Port Beach in California today, I’m going to put Joey to work so I want at least 50 questions from you guys and if I get them I’ll post Joey’s second video tomorrow of him blasting away his shoulders with a killer shoulder workout.
