post workout is probably wayy more important than pre(depending on your goals of course).
If you understood nutrient absorption you probably wouldn't believe this.0 -
Thank you for sharing. I did read it. Great information.0

I'm printing this out to read while on a toilet break but after skimming I got to the part about no cardio and have to say that I agree. One of the biggest regrets that I have is that on my path to losing over 85lbs, I guess you could say I became obsessed with seeing the scales go down. Worst part was that as well as fat a whole heap of muscle was being lost too. Cardio for me was almost addictive. I would stay on the elliptical for over an hour. Again I'll will take a more detailed read soon. Thank you for posting this valuable information.0

I have trouble taking someone seriously when their credentials are "I am really into this stuff." He doesn't even give his last name.0 -

Bump- I don't agree with some points on here (eg. the idea of 'dirty' foods) but it's a good outline.0

Good stuff for the most part. One thing I feel is a bit off is suggesting that while at a caloric deficit you can maintain all of your strength. If you ask any body builder they will tell you that you lose a bit of strength while "cutting" and that it is perfectly normal given your bodies glycogen stores dwindle shortly after being in a caloric deficit. Trying to lift the same amount through out a "cut" may increase risk of injury and perhaps be a bit discouraging if you think that maintaining 100% strength is what should happen. I do however feel that the article mentions good ways in which to minimize muscle and strength losses.0

This also depends on your starting weight, while cutting I managed to up weights on almost all of my lifts by 25-50lbs. I also calorie and carb cycle.0
