Caloric intake prescription - Total calories should be based on protein needs, which should be set at
between 0.7 and
1.0 grams of protein per pound of lean body mass (depending on your activity level). The
0.7 figure is for moderate daily workout loads and the 1.0 figure is for the hardcore athlete.
What should I eat? - Base your diet on garden vegetables, especially greens, meats, nuts and
seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar
World Class Fitness in 100 Words - Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some
fruit, little starch, and no sugar. Keep intake to
levels that will support exercise but not body fat.
Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean,
squat, presses, clean and jerk, and snatch.
Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pullups,
dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses
to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds.
Bike, run, swim, row, etc., hard and fast.
Five or six days per week mix these elements in as
many combinations and patterns as creativity will
allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short
and intense.
