That example uses someone in a calorie excess. There person there would have got fatter by eating any of the macros above their maintence, not protein specifically. The statement that 'whey protein contains too much protein which is stored as fat' ignores the context of the diet and total energy balance and is just plain…

This is the second time this claim has been made in this thread and there no evidence or logic behind it. 1 serving or a typical whey protein contains 20--30 grams of protein......a large steak or 300gr of chicken breast would have 60-90 grams of protein, 3 times that. Is chicken breast making me store fat because it…

What? Lol. That 'answer' Is full of complete nonsense. Protein needs are INDIVIDUAL someone who is 6'2 200lbs 8% body fat and lifts 5x per week needs more Protein than someone who is sedentary at 150lbs. If you buy protein in bulk, from a resonable brand it's actually the cheapest and one of the best sources of protein…

White meat - turkey / chicken White fish such as cod Tuna

lol pretty much sums up relationships for us male folks Don't offer help - You get mad we didn't try to help Offer help - Get mad anyway. We are all used to it by now!

Shoot chrisdavey a PM he has done UD 2 a few times and he lifts heavy things so should be able to give some good input.

As a 200lb + male you should not be eating 1200 calories. You might gain a little in the short term but it will be worth it in the long term to improve your metabolic capacity. Would you rather be able to maintain your weight on 2500 calories or 1000?

^^^^^ this Chase progress not soreness

it seems pretty clear from the op that she won't eat it on the basis it is processed and therefore "unhealthy"

Op what exactly do you think will happen if you eat, say, 1 slice of this cake? Fear of food like this is the real tragedy of the scaremongering over certains foods/nutrients. It's your birthday and you are with your family, enjoy yourself.

I'm sure SS and Sara will chime in but this Seems a bit bizarre to me, 65% of 1rep max isn't really heavy. You are also either assuming a very fast rate of progression, or starting far too light if you can progress from 8 reps @ 65% to 8 reps at 75% over a 3 week period. I would just go back to basics heavy day is 5 sets…

Slow bulking requires being in a surplus, you aren't going to lose any fat in a surplus. Yes gaining lean mass would slightly alter your body fat % ratio but there will be no overall fat loss. Edit - ^^ rock beat me too it with a better answer

At this stage as long as you are progressing the weights/reps the way the program is designed that's all that really matters. In a few months time when all your lifts have gone up it will feel pretty hard don't worry about that.

No That really answers your own question. Gaining muscle is a loooooooong process so it needs to wait unless your happy having the spare tire for another year.

frog tech then

you need dat dere cell tech op

^^ plus the "pro bodybuilders eat tons of protein and very low carbs" isn't really correct outside of some people in contest prep so it's really not a good example. Most traditional bodybuilding diets are in fact fairly high carb however the terms high carb etc are completely subjective a low carb diet for me is probably a…

Maybe, but i don't think the difference is as exaggerated as people think. 5x5 = 25 reps, 3 x 10 = 30 reps so the time under tension is not that different and the 5x5 group is going to be able to use significantly higher loads and progress in weights faster. 5x5 was the original rep scheme of bodybuilders.

In a calorie deficit your are tying to, at minimum, maintain strength [and therefore muscle mass]. This is easier to achieve on a 5x5 system as the loads are heavier. Beginners [most people on MFP which is also why you see it recommended so much] will, generally, progress faster on a 5x5 system as again the loads are…

Seeing that on your profile has made me a sad panda you are stunning

Funny because I thought his biggest flaw was his complete unwilling to take on board anything that's happening in exercise science over the last 10 years and resorting to telling anyone who offers an alternative to his methods a *pu$$y* despite what evidence may be provided His latest article on t-nation in relation to…

As far as 1 on 1 personal training goes, the majority of the work is actually just encouragement and keeping people motivated. most of the stuff I read I would never need to use in a personal training environment.

this. end of thread.

this might help, direct from mr hip thrust http://bretcontreras.com/abc-ask-bret-contreras-hamstring-cramping/

Lol books. Ain't nobody got time for that..

Are you serious? Do you actually exist?
