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, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, 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. Regularly learn and play new sports.
All right, I can't hold this in anymore! Many of you are not pushing yourselves on your lifts anymore! STOP BEING AFRAID TO FAIL!!! If you don't fail on your lift, you haven't reached your max! Too many people are starting their weights too low and going up little baby-steps and being completely satisfied with their lifts because they didn't fail! It's ok to fail! IT IS NECESSARY! You have to push yourself if you want to improve. Failure is the mother of success!
