Yes.

This is not true. No one has never said it wasn't possible. Conditions have to almost perfect, ESPECIALLY when you're not going through the "newbie gains". LOL @ most people. Yeah, those who don't understand how the body works. If you want to build a physique, you start at the legs.

People are going take this study out of context and apply it to themselves. For starters you're not elite level athletes who for the most already carry a fair amount of lean body mass. While noble, I feel posting things like this will only confuse the average person. Stick to the tried and true. You want to gain LBM, eat…

Eat something prior to training then.

If I am caloric surplus, meal timing is not so important. However, if I am in a deficit, I find that meal timing is important. When I speak of timing, I mean a pre-workout meal. Energy balance is the key and of course is based on the individual. Once again, people take things to extremes of both ends. When in reality it's…

Open up your diary, and I doubt you're building muscle. You're probably either eating too little (most likely) or too much.

Saying "cardio leads to low fat but low muscle as well" is way too broad. Very low calorie intake coupled with too much cardio, and no resistance training can (most probably will) lead to "low fat but low muscle". That is why general statements are bad, especially when they are not in the correct context.

"A great looking body" is up to the individual. I guess that's hard for you to understand.

So to sum everything up. Resistance training>Nutrition>Cardio Oh and I wouldn't reference Hollywood actors as examples. Most are on at least Anavar and use stupid crash diets in order to meet a role.

There is nothing wrong with using cardio to create an extra deficit, especially for women. Problem is TOO much cardio is being done and very little resistance training is being performed. The case against cardio is far over blown.

You optimize weight loss by being in a deficit. Eat whenever you want. Been working the night shift for the last 4 years and losing OR gaining weight has never been a problem.

But it can be used to promote racism.... Let's start with Eugenics.

You fix it by eating more. Go back to maintenance. For starters 14x CURRENT body weight is a good start. However since your metabolism has slowed, start at 12 x current body weight. Then increase to 13x current body weight the next week. Macros: .8 x current weight for protein. .25-35 x current for fat. Your remaining…

How about increasing your eating window....

A lot of it is indeed water but you did gain some fat.

Set smaller goals. Next year is too far away. How about, I will run xx miles this week? I will do 100 push-ups this week.

This.

This Cheat days and cheat meals are utterly retarded. Food is food and you can't cheat on it.

If you're not competing, I don't see the need to be 100% anal about tracking everything. For the average person, having a grey area is perfectly acceptable. You have to remember that the whole point is to make dieting as easy possible. Tracking everything, every single day is not enjoyable (at least for me), especially…

You're issue are due to a lack of mobility. As others have stated first and foremost, lower that bar. This article is perfect and my go to when discussing any issues with the squat. http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/most_recent/squat_like_a_champion

Food is food. There is no such thing as a cheat. You cheat on taxes, you can even cheat on your wife/husband. HOWEVER, you can't cheat on food.

Add the "treat" into your daily plan and you won't have to do extra cardio.

Cause this leads to an eating disorder. Think about it. You keep making "bad" choices and you use cardio to cover up the real issue. The real issue being a lack of self control and not using moderation. Never use cardio to cover up the fact that you're eating too much.

You would do the push routine on one day and the pull routine on a separate day. There is nothing wrong with doing squats and deadlifts in the same session. What you can do is swap between squats and deads, from session to session. For example, start off with squats one session and start off with deads the next rotation.

That was due to bad form. Regardless, when done correctly. The trap bar takes a lot of stress off the spine.

If you squat on a consistent basis, the trap bar deadlift is a saving grace on the spine.

Please stop. To the OP. A refeed and a cheat meal are not the same. Refeed are targeted over feeding for a slight physical and mental boost. Cheat days, meals, etc are used by those who deny themselves of certain foods.

I am coming from the context of the fitness world. Of course the body will adapt, but how many couch potatoes do you know, that eat 400 calories per day? Most people who experience severe adaption are under eating and over working. However, I digress.

Yes, I am kidding but don't make baseless statements without backing your comments up. "Metabolic adaption" is actually a combination of too little food (energy intake) coupled with too much energy expenditure.
