For example, one of the most commonly referred to studies published back in 2013 ago separated 33 physically active, resistance-trained men into two groups: (which has been replicated tons & tons of times) (link to study - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4562558/) A high-volume, moderate-intensity group that…

It's all in the public domain so anyone who's serious about learning and not just digging out info that fits their preferred bias can easily find the data. Historically I've found forwarding data on only to prove a point when already met with resistance is futile as the data still usually won't sway the minds of people who…

sorry dude, I think you've got your wires crossed with what I'm saying... I'm not talking about whilst being in a calorie deficit, I'm talking about whilst being at least at maintenance or preferably in a surplus. Hope that makes sense dude? :)

There's litterally 100's of papers & studies on this conducted by the worlds leading exercise scientists. It's all free & in the open/public domain.
-
100% agree! :)

Well if we're talking purely lean tissue gain... for a natural guy starting out, you're looking at 0.25 - 0.5lbs per week of actual tissue gain (maybe more in some cases, even upto 1lb for their initial introduction to the new stimulus), for women you can roughly half that amount :)

Be me, a body composition expert (on paper & in practice with experience through myself & clients for over 13 years) give free advice MFP forum to be nice & get told how you're wrong. lol yep, progressive overload = getting sronger either through sheer amount of volume which add's to the tonnage and/or go direct to the…

You could always compare the difference between averages every two weeks rather than each week (or each each month) as it gives a larger scope for real change to occur :)

Exactly :)

Not from Texas, I'm British... but I'd LOOOOVE to go to San Antonio/Dallas/Fortworth/Houston etc!

Brit here! :smile:

yep, for you and me.. but for some people they have such massive psychological issues around food they have to adhere to some form of a specific diet & avoid trigger foods etc.... I can't relate to this directly, I'm the same as you I just eat anything I want as long as I'm hitting my calorie & macro goals.
-
that's a pretty good, logical idea.. I like it!
-
I'm exactly the same as you, I'll probably do it forever... but, it's not for everybody

Hey, send me a PM if you like, happy to help you get something set up to get started :smile:
-
thats awsome, well done! :smile: Any personal 'hacks' that you use?
-
Makes a BIG difference, right?
-
hahaha!!!! :smiley:
-
Great to hear! How's it going so far? :smile:
-
That's awsome, and you're right it's not for everyone... long term!
-
I agree, just trying to keep it simple and not overwhelming :)
-
Completely individual, but I definitely wouldn't expect someone to still be having 'newbie' gains after 6 months on a smart training & nutrition plan. (I'd shoot to rinse it as much as possible for 3/4/5 months
-
Have a look at my diary, it's public :)
-
What changed over the past 2 months? Something must have changed as matter can't be created out of nothing... :/
-
completely understand... myself I prefer to use the data as it will then tell me what I need to do & what changes/adjustments to make going forward, rather than hiding from the data & hoping for the best to only find out weeks later that I've been headed in the wrong direction. It's not for everyone, but form myself I use…
-
yep, completely agree! :smile:
-
