How did I say I was special if I referred to myself as an average or below average Joe with average or below average body type with average or below average fitness...where does the special part come in? I think that 150$ you payed for that cert that you slap on to your every response is making YOU FEEL SPECIAL ; )

Thank you!

We will see by spring and summer buddy!! ;)

Oooo wow very interesting for an ACE certified trainer comparing and average Joe training and nutrition to a Olympic athelete..... (FACEPALM)

Maybe, just maybe , you need to eat less than other men of your height and activity level would, but you still clearly need to eat more than you are currently. [/quote] Thank you jeeez

And if I'm not very big I guess I shouldn't consume a lot of calories, considering the fact you mentioned that i don't have a lot of body mass correct? (Cough cough)

Jesus....I was about to go into the benefits of fasting...I'll stop right here ......

Will try that this spring going into summer

Hahah, how about this put me and her on the same diet and exercise regimen and you are going to tell me we will loose weight / gain muscle EXACTLY AT THE SAME RATE?

Then your genetics are totally different than Mine, we don't digest food and absorb nutrients the same way, if I stepped it up to 2000 kcal daily I will look like a marshmallow, soft and that's uncomfortable for me. My metabolism is really slow trust me.

Currently doing it. Couple of weeks ago I ate a whole pizza to myself. Followed by dessert. Tonight was hamburger and chips. With dessert. Prepped in to bodybuilding shows using IIFYM, including "treats" in my diet. I'm definitely not special, or unusual. [/quote] When I see it I'll believe it

It's March right now, coming into spring I will be cutting my cal to 1200-1000kcal daily I eat little because I weight 153lbs at 5'9 32yrsold belive me I ate 2500 -3000kcal daily exercising in my younger years I looked like a water buffalo. I eat clean foods no more powdered supps none of that crap

Yes good job at editing my quotes so now everyone can CLEARLY see. ;)

I'm sorry but if you are trying to get a ripped shredded look you won't be able to do that by fitting in a 400-600 calorie slice of pizza

Ooo so you are saying that genetics DO NOT PLAY a role on an individual's metabolism? That genetics do not play a role on how an individual's body digests food absorbs nutrients and distributes it to muscle tissue that is bring used for exercise? Are you saying that GENETICS don't play a role when it comes to adaptation,…

OK my mom is 5'8 my dad is about the same size they both have apple sized bodies. And both gain weight easy when they eat carbs, I'm starting to realize genetics do play a role, how many ripped people have you seen that eat pizza and still look lean AF?

15-25 rep range 30-45 second rests on ONE MUSCLE GROUP or ONE movement, I'd say 15-20 sets

15-25 rep range 30-45 second rests
