"fixdeluxe1: I think that your workout schedule will have to change a bit once the zombies come. Where will we get rice and whey shakes? And also is there time to work out? In my plan, I'll basically just get my excersize by running around all day, and also by training on the go. I won't have a fixed plan. I probably wouldn't be able to sustain it properly, and who wants to fight zombies sore and tired?"

"Never really focused onthe topic, all I know is protein protein protein.
Also depends on what part of the body you want to build up. This will determine what type of excersise and how long to do it for."

"In terms of diet,remember,lots of water(1-2 gallons AT LEAST) an minimize fat content(if you are bodybuilding completely eliminate it) and increase protein.Carbs do not matter."

"here's my approach:

Paul's Ultra-simple guide to building *useful* strength:

Exercises: Augment whatever you're doing now with lots of compounds.
If you're doing literally no exercise now... just do lots of compounds.

( ie: Squats, hammer-curls, squats, pull-ups, squats, high-resistance rowing, squats, bench-presses, push-ups... did I mention squats? )

diet:
<span>go here: http://walking.about.com/cs/calories/l/blcalcalc.htm</span>
enter accurate details (factoring in your new exercise regime ) Get your result. try to stick to it roughly. or don't. whatever.

take your diet now, as it is. cut out sugars/saturated fats if you think they're excessive.
Add lots of mono/poly unsaturates, protein and healthy carbs.

Or, in simple terms. Eat. More. Oily. Fish. and throw some more veggies in there too.
Micro-nutrients are immensly important, but really have no bearing when it comes to changes on the macro ( like building core muscle mass ) so they have no place here.

do this for a few months.

Congratulations, you're now physically stronger. probably. without going to silly, unhealthy lengths. "

"Nothing at all.
My post, however, talks about 'excessive saturated fats.' The risks of which are manifold. ( not to mention the issues that go with eating anything in excess. )

Most critically, excessive saturated fat in the body causes the liver/intestines to produce surplus cholesterol which leads to medical problems which can easily be exacerbated by strenuous exercise. "
