Hey dude, Standard whey is typically the cheapest & gives you the most bang for your buck per service (leucine content) There's alternatives for veg & dairy free etc, What's the goal? Why do you feel you need to supplement your protein intake? Feel free to pick my brain, I'm a nutrition & training coach (don't worry, I…

You just have to lower your bodyfat % so your muscle tissue is more visible = definition You can only gain, maintain or lose fat... the same with muscle tissue, you can gain it, maintain it or lose it

8 hour arm workout then straight into jumping jack dead-lifts to confuse the muscle.

Just to clarify for anyone new jumping into this thread... this is not my (The OP) claim, this is someone else's claim who commented in this thread.

The topic of this thread has taken a de-tour lol

I do understand your point, but i cant in good faith recommend or direct anyone asking for advice to bb.com knowing what i know about this industry... it would invalidate my personal integrity. But by all means, do what you enjoy ☺

I understand what you're saying and you're right... BUT you're talking about the small extra %... im talking about specifically adding as much new lean tissue as one can while specifically shooting for that exact goal ☺

No, but it's kinda like the 'fitness' equivalent of wanting to be a multimillionaire & also wanting to relax everyday and never work The two things oppose each other (mostly)

Only to a certain/small degree...

100% this, great answer!

If you think this is common knowledge you obviously havent read through this thread, as its mostly uncommon to the majority of people conversing in here.. anyway, im not interested in a pointless argument. Bye x

LMAO! :smiley:

Nope not cockney, just British lol ☺

Hey, yep great study! Im not saying 'heavier weights are better' im saying you have to get stronger... regardless of the rep range you're using... even if thats a 12-15 rep range. Hope that makes sense? ☺

mate seriously, have a word with yourself, you're making yourself look silly.

Yet some people are still unaware of this concept (some even argue against it who haven't yet become familiar with the science & application) ...your posts are now pointless and taking away from the topic. This topic is obviously not of any use to you, so there's no point in you commenting anymore unless it's to help…

to you maybe... if you've read through the comments you'll see that alot of people are unaware of this concept.

then you quite obviously don't need to be here mocking other peoples level of knowledge (or lack of) everyone is at different stages... there would have been a time when this was also new to you.

yep, same here mate.... I live by "doing the right thing, is always the right thing" I think if you give more than you get, you'll always be ok. And if I know something, that other people need/want, it's our personal responsibility to help & give that info away to those who need/want it.

Yep, agreed! :) But I'd love this stuff to reach the lay person, rather than only be known in the inner circles of the fitness community... unfortunately the majority of the public get their advice from scam artists peddling crap because they've mastered the art of marketing & spend their time on mostly useless stuff,…

Hi again mate, sorry I didnt explain myself properly... So, I'm not saying that any particular rep range is 'better', I'm just pointing out the same fact that you've also pointed out... you need to get stronger regardless of the rep range in order to get bigger. That's all You can work with any rep range, but if you're not…

well quite obviously it is indeed very new information to alot of people who are unaware of this concept (read through the comments) Also, If you read what I wrote.. I did state that it isn't really a secret, it's just that most people are never told or informed of this information, just like how most people are usually…

Ok, so the very first thing is to understand energy balance... if you're wanting to lose weight you need to create a caloric deficit, if you're wanting to gain weight you need to create a caloriec surplus if you're wanting to lose FAT rather than overall weight, you'll need to manage your nutrition in a way that supports…

Yep, like I said... happy to help people who are wanting to know more :)

Hi mate, I think the majority of people are misunderstanding my point... even a hypertrophy based routine is based on strength increase/progression via either volume (total tonnage) or direct tonnage (weight on the bar).. both of these are progression in strength. I'm not saying you have to powerlift to get bigger, I'm…

You mean the 3 people who have inboxed me to say thanks and discuss this topic in more detail? ☺

Completely agree and I did link one of the most refered to studies that has been replicated time and time again... Im all for providing as much info/data as possible when theres intetest... but when data requests come under the conditional "you're wrong, prove it" mentality... history and experience tells me im only…

What are you stats if you don't mind me asking? sex weight esitmated body fat how long have you been lifting what other exercise are you doing whats your specific goal all the good stuff & I'll be happy to help out with recommendations :)

good post :) I'm not saying that it's the ONLY thing... there are many contributors, what I am saying (just to clarify) is that in order to build muscle & get bigger, you HAVE to get stronger. Yes your caloric intake is extremely important, you need to be at at least maintenance to attempt a recomp.. or a caloric surplus…
