Bodybuilding

My final hobby that I will address is bodybuilding, a hobby that I picked up in the last year. I go to the gym five days a week, doing weights on three days and doing cardio on the days in between. I currently have two workout regimens, and they are as follows.

• Three sets of five squats
• Three sets of five bench presses
• One set of five deadlifts
• Two set of eight dips

• Three sets of five squats
• Three sets of five standing military presses
• Three sets of pendlay rows
• Two sets of eight chinups

I alternate between workout regimens on nonconsecutive days. So, generally speaking, my workout schedule looks like this.

As well as sticking to a strict workout regimen, I also stick to a strict diet. The reason for this is that while training is important, ultimately nutrition is just as important as training, as is explained here .

Mostly my diet consists of meat such as chicken breast and lean beef, a variety of fruit and vegetables, brown rice, and dairy such yoghurt, milk, and cheese. Two nights per week I allow myself to eat meals that do not fall within the boundaries of my diet, as such meals make no difference as long as they are infrequent.

Here is a sample of what my diet would consist of for a day that I train on. I have not included times because my sleeping times are inconsistent, so when I eat my meals is relative to whenever I have woken up.
