dont' believe me then LMAO Obviously i woke up and decided to spread mis-truths and lies today in an effort to fatten up the world. And.. i said measurable amount... meaning, couldn't noticeable SEE it. Peace

If you need me to clarify so as to ensure you don't embark on a 15,000 cal/day consumption of chicken breast science experiment because of my comment I'll further clarify it for you... if you're targeting say... 2400 calories and eat exactly that... and then say have ANOTHER 1,000, even 1,500 calories of PURE LEAN grilled,…

Sure... good look with that experiment and let me know how it goes. Aim for 10,000 cal and provide feedback.

my post workout is 2 scoops of choc whey isolate, a banana and 2 tablespoons of PB2 powdered peanut butter in about 350ml of water... then i eat within 90 min.

My latest research, i do so much of it i can't recall from where exactly, indicated that an over consumption of calories of purely lean protein is virtually impossible to convert into storage fats... this would support @psychod787 's statement above as well.

@FitBeardedJourney I'd definitely concur! I tell people that i started my journey based on basic health concerns with being hyoooge... now i tell them I've definitely transferred over to vanity LMAO (let's call it.. "Boosting Self Confidence" mmm kay?)

very achievable!!! enjoy the journey... you'll discover much about yourself on the way!! p.s. stay off the scale everyday LMAO

having reviewed the thread myself... i was kinda missing the part where she shared said expertise rather than criticizing my own efforts... I offered my knowledge, never declared it gospel nor criticized anyone else's.. I made a resolution this year to try and share what I've learned on MY journey. I never knew these…

LOL no kidding hey!!

i stopped doing "research" in place of "practice vs. results". Feel free to continue your own research and apply accordingly.

^^^^

OP wanted a suggestion... i gave them one. You want a "net"? go play tennis.

I'm relaying my experiences, what works for me. Everyone is entitled to share the results of what works for them. It's proven to be healthy and delivers what makes me happy. Call it bodybuilding, training, fitness, working out... whatever...

Whatever works for you...

@CarvedTones truly great accomplishment to not only get there, but to maintain it! Seriously good for you!! I've considered prepping and attending a natural bodybuilding show however with a full time job, a stay at home wife, 3 kids and a 97lb dog, i just can't make that commitment. I am however pretty proud myself of what…

LMAO All in perspective i suppose! Regardless, visible abs at 60? You're my hero!!!

LMAO you're right. Proves that checking your own work is useless even if you DO try it like 4 times!!! Apologies

almost every source of data and information i have ever researched for the last 2+ years PLUS two personal trainers/nutrition experts

no idea what you're talking about but.. sure, will keep that in mind. Set the % of protein to whatever percentage will give you 1g protein per lb of body weight, set fats to 25% and use carbs for the rest.

i graduated from "weight loss" to achieving the best possible natural physique possible for a 46 year old... LOL I doubt that will ever get me to "maintenance" but it sure would be a fun journey. Plus, i love it when the young kids look at me at the gym and are like... WTF LOL Enjoy the process!!!

look up moutaindog on youtube... he recently did a "bulking on a budget" 1 day diet plan and it was fantastic. Also, not a fly by night idiot... very highly respected in the community.

i'm cutting at the moment and have no problem with 210+ g protein per day. Brekky is 3 whole eggs, 4 egg whites omelette with ~3-4oz chicken... throw on some hot sauce and there you go!!! 64g protein and you're not even breaking a sweat yet. add in a 2 scoop protein shake for another 56g and you're on easy street for the…

so... you're a noob at the gym and you're on a 5x5 strength training regimen? Honestly, your issues are probably stacked one on top of the other... 1) Would recommend you get on a less intense hypertrophy based program, either push pull legs or upper/lower body split and decrease the weight which leads me into my next…

you'd be surprised what you find buried under there when you microwave away all the unwanted weight!!!

The idea in my opinion is that everyone has to start with the available tools but in the end it is always experience and fine tuning your own macros that works best. Also, impossible to know what your cals breaks down as (P/F/C), when you're eating them and what your actual activity level is. Also, most people over…

it sounds daunting at first guys but trust me, it can be done. I started in Jan 2017 at 290lbs and currently a muscular 205 at 14% (aiming for 10-12). My BFF was 399 and he's 238 in 18 months. Consistency is key and don't forget to keep getting SMARTER along the way. In the end, what you KNOW is your best tool and resource.

I do push/pull/legs/push/pull/legs and take the 7th day off... no issues here!!!

Heavy compound lifts... Deadlifting, squats, bench, pull-downs

Used to REALLY like it, but now i prefer to work out alone. Focussing on proper rest between sets has been a HUGE game changer as far as progress/results and i find when you're with someone, I just get distracted. I'd rather be completely anti-social for those 90 min. LOL

I throw some "Carbion" from Allmax into my intra-workout BCAA drink and i'm good!!! I also weight train very intensely each morning from 5-6:30 in a fasted state 6 days a week.
