When they came out with organic food, I was clueless. "What is organic food?" What? I don't know. "What does organic mean?" Contains carbon, as all living things do. "So why are some carrots organic and some carrots aren't?" I don't know.
I'm still trying to revise my fiber speech to explain it, but not include the only words that everyone has actually heard, since God Forbid we use those two words again.
And now you come along with lean muscle.
I can see it now:
"What is lean muscle?" I don't know. "What does it mean?" I have no idea. You have different kinds of muscles, like your heart gets a kind, just for it. I assume "lean muscle" means "skeletal muscle," like the kinds you use, your biceps and triceps - your muscles that go along with your skeleton - skeletal muscles - and help you move. Your muscles. But I have no idea what it means.
Send me some business cards. I'll tell them to call you.
Good luck with your book.
"Skeletal Muscle Diet" sounds much more catchy. O wait....

If ever I was in on a post, this would be it.
Also, off to look up the book in question on Amazon.

I was doing slow burn for a few months.
This was my routine:
August:
Squat, 1 rep.
Took me the entire month to complete the rep.
Fred emailed me asking for pics.

Wow, first she tries to troll Sara and then she has the nerve to try and school/troll whatever you want to call it, Alan. Just absurd. I truly do get ignorance is bliss but this is just far out there.
I tried to throw her a lifeline in the other thread, she is on her own with this one. Bliss indeed.

This book looks interesting, but I'm wondering if it's really geared towards men, so that I wouldn't really benefit. What do y'all think?0

It may be geared towards men, but women can definitely also use the same common sense approach, especially with the tweaks suggested by Alan in his post above (although I personally found that the calorie calculations used for the men would work just fine for me). The book is also written in a way that makes it a very fun read. Highly recommended!0 -

It's great for both genders. You'll just need to tweak a few of the equations, see Alan's post earlier in this thread.
Get the book, it's outstanding.0 -
Thank you all, I'm glad you're enjoying the book.
Kalikel - think the book title is hilarious, but it's what Rodale (the publisher) thinks will grab the target audience, rank high in keyword searches, etc. We really didn't have much say in the title, but the good thing is that we were 100% in charge of the content, so I figured it was a fair trade-off.
Psulemon - the continuum of recomp magnitude ranges from over-fat, deconditioned/formerly fit folks (high capacity for recomp) to folks who are close to their potential for muscle mass or leanness (little to no capacity for recomp). Individuals vary widely along that continuum. Also keep in mind that people's status is dynamic depending on how consistent & progressive or inconsistent their training cycles are.
Sam - nothing scheduled for Laurent Bannock's podcast at the moment.

I listened to the Fitcast podcast this morning as well. It explains the broad outline of the book, the original title and why the publisher suggested this title - it will probably get more sales. And as they should, that is their (the publishers) job.
The book actually sounds pretty good - probably nothing that a well read and experienced person couldn't already put together, but I would probably buy it anyway because as I said it sounds pretty good and this sort of thing is what these guys do best.0 -
Lol, naw he just saw his name in a title. So that's what we should do more often. It's great when Alan drops by.Wow...pray to God and he appears...

Thank you for that clarification. I appreciate the follow up.

Thank you all. Because of this thread I got my copy on Kindle now and am having trouble staying away from it. I really like Schuler's writing style.
I sure hope Kalikel, and many others, purchase it. Lots of good stuff and I am only 13% into it.0 -
I just ordered my copy. I'm going to have to spend a lot of time in the bathroom! Oh, that came out wrong, I think.0
