    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.

    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.

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

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

    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.

    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.
