Hey guys,
some of you may have seen my thread a few weeks ago where I'd caught swine flu and was out of action for a good couple of weeks. I went from a max of 86kg down to about 83.5. I think its been about a month and im hovering around 83.5-84.5 - today I was 84.5.
Has anyone here had tattoos and then gained a fair bit of mass? I've always wanted to get a sleeve tattoo, and I'm actually going overseas around Feb next year, I'd really love to get my artwork done by some really skilled european tattooists while I have the opportunity.
I'm 6'2 and like I said hovering around 84kg with a fat% around 14~. I've got about 6-7months before I will actually be getting any ink done, BUT my longterm goal is to reach about 95kg with 10% body fat. I've got a fair bit to go obviously but do you think I would wreck my tatt with an extra 10 odd kgs? The flu was a serious setback, I was reallly hoping to pass 88-89kg by the end of the year but I dont think thats too realistic now.
What do I do guys?? Should I pile on a bit of fat or something to reduce the stretching? Would this make it worse? Am I too paranoid?
I want to really perfect my diet/exercise to maximise the amount of gains I can get by then. I'm a vege, however I do eat dairy/fish. Here's a fairly good example of my current diet:
8am
oats + honey + milk
10am
200-250gm of natural yoghurt (I've recently thrown away the flavoured yoghurts and gone for the natural stuff, bit bitter but I'm glad to be reducing the sugar)
10.30am
coffee
11.30am
salad sandwich
banana
12.30pm
salad sandwich
apple (or some other fruit)
2pm
some nuts (varies between peanuts, cashews, almonds)
3.30-4pm
tuna
4.45-5pm
protein shake
6pm
workout
7.30pm
protein shake
8pm
dinner - varies, but I try and have salmon a couple of times a week, pastas, vegetables, soy foods like tofu/soy sausages, things like that.
9.30pm
depending on how full I am I've started eating some low fat cottage/ricotta, however I'm seriously getting sick of the flavour!
And thats about it for the most part of the week. Sometimes I'll miss a can of tuna here and there, or some nuts but I ususally stick pretty close to that routine. How would you rate my diet? Do you think its enough calories? Enough protein etc? Sorry this is such a big thread and its probably not 100% clear what my question is anymore, but basically I want to perfect my diet to the best I can and gain as much as possible before I get my ink next year so it doesnt stretch.
Cheers guys!
