Pros You will get good strength gains adding that much body weight, if you diet down slowly and carefully you should be able to keep a good proportion of that Cons As mentioned it will take quite some time to cut from 20% back down to 10% You will probably look quite fat for a while

Would need a video to make any helpful comments, there is a form videos sticky in this forum or you could post it here I did wonder though .... Why not just squat a bit wider then?

^^ As long as you are progressing in the gym and towards whatever goals you have set yourself it doesn't matter if you are sore of not. If you train muscles frequently You will find they get less sore, when I was squatting heavy 4x per week my legs were almost never sore.

What's the issue with protein powder? You can get egg white protein powder also.d Drinking a cup of egg whites is going to be pretty disgusting.

just keep an eye on the scale if it starts going up too quickly you will have to dial it back a bit. I probably should have said "as long as total calorie intake stays reasonable", clearly if you start eating 5000+ calories a couple of times a week that's going to be an issue.

Personally I would recommend someone take more flexible approach to daily diet rather than being very restrictive for 5-6 days per week then having a cheat day. most of the "clean eating" stuff that gets put about is incredibly restrictive/fear mongering. Look into flexible dieting, release that foods are not all just…

completely disagree. You should be using your diet and not your training to lose fat. You should not be looking at weight training from a 'how many calories does it burn' standpoint. Resistance training allows you to retain/build muscle and change a physique the way only cardio cannot. (note - I still do cardio for other…

high carb or low carb your calorie deficit should be reasonable, a 45% deficit is far too large. you will stall very quickly and reach a point where you can't reduce your calories any lower or increase output any higher.

There is no best routine, pick one, train hard and be consistent

only low carb ones I am aware of is quest and they certainly aren't cheap. http://www.predatornutrition.com/en/quest-nutrition-quest-bar-12-bars/ if you want to make your own you need to get some vita fiber http://www.musclefood.com/vitafiber-sweetner-700ml.html…

ok? Use a bigger plate either side, won't be an issue.

barbell rollouts, assuming you have the space http://www.beastskills.com/ab-wheel-rollout/ ^ article is actually about the ab wheel but the same principle applies

http://examine.com/supplements/Creatine/ ^^ all you need to know

http://www.beastskills.com/ab-wheel-rollout/ much harder than it looks isn't it! The key is not letting your lower back arch, see the article above (really good website for all bodyweight exercises), takes a while to learn what this feels like.

Lol dances with fat, pretty sure she had a long blog post saying counting calories is a waste of time and calories in / out doesn't work. It's a fat acceptance blog where self diagnosed special snowflakes who have more excuses than motivation can congregate and validate why they can't lose any weight,

If you look at the majority of intermediate/advanced training programs that are around at the minute, 5/3/1, cube method, juggernaut, lift run bang, sheiko and the Russian methods the common theme amongst them is not training to failure most of the time. I think the whole 'cns burnout' thing is overplayed a little, I doubt…

mass gainer is a protein product with a carbohydrate source added to increase the calories for people looking to gain weight, usually it's dextrose/maltodextrin or ground oats.

Things to look out for - unreasonably high sugar content (can be disguised as 'maltodrexin/dextrose etc') - you see some powders with 4-5+ grams of sugar per scoop this is the company using a sugar as a cheap filler to increase profit margin and give you less actual protein - single amino acids listed near the top of the…

Agreed, you are looking to compete in a powerlifting meet if I remember? Cutting weights high just to get more lbs on the bar isn't going to help you in the long run....strong squat but that won't pass in any meet,.

did this a few years back, feelsgoodman.

buy powdered oats and have 1-3 shakes per day depending on your calorie goal. Very very cheap and very effective...look at myprotein.com eat more calorie dense foods, red meat, whole milk, nuts etc.

steak. Best breakfast ever.

this is the best option of anything mentioned so far, goblets squats are great but you will get limited very quickly buy how much weight you can actually hold in that position...not by how strong your legs are. one of the most underrated movements out there.

Well that's a bit silly, if you saw a young guy pulling a 600lb Deadlift with a belt you would think he's a *****? A belt should be a training decision not an age decision. I spit my training up between cycles of using a belt and not using one. The majority or the time I will use it but having a 6-8 week block not using a…

6" and 250lbs lean, this guy is jacked out of his mind. Must admit i'm mirin, it he natty though?

but I only wear Prada?

I think part of the popularity is people have started going overboard on the whole EPOC theory claiming silly numbers like you burn double the amount of calories from HIIT post workout. I think the actual number is about 8%-15% of the calories burned from the exercise only, which when you work it back is pretty negligible.…

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

great job op, very impressive.

UK here also and I never have this problem. look through the food database and you will find almost every item, somewhere, listed in grams. Just takes a bit of finding first of all, or create your own food in grams.
