Eh?

I'm definitely weird because I covet the apple donut.

After my earlier post and just out of curiosity, I turned on the feature on my cellphone that measures my steps and it turns out that on a typical workday (which is most days, being a farmer), I walk 5 miles or therabouts. This doesn't seem to have hampered my progress...

I farm so I have to move about on my lifting and non-lifting days - I don't find that it has held back my progress...

I'm more of a savoury kind of bloke...

Pah. Rabbit stew then....

I mostly eat bread as my carb source because I live by myself and I can't be arsed to make pasta/potatoes.

Rabbit is an interesting meat - it contains all the essential amino acids and is very lean. I wonder if this would have been the same with different meats? Ones with a higher fat percentage or ones with an incomplete profile meaning you would need to eat more than one type of meat... But mostly what I am taking from this…

I find cutting is "easier" because you have done it before and know what you have to stick to... I'm on my third cut now and I hardly log, the weight is coming off at 1-1.5lbs/week... Easy.

A pictorial addition to my earlier post showing the correct use for kale. I wasn't aware it was meant for human consumption....

Sheep grow pretty well on kale, as it goes. All you need to do then is eat the sheep. Simple.

I think it is important to stress the importance of rest here (depending on your personality type). I have just had a very interesting visit to the physio after I have finally caved and admitted to myself that the amount of *kitten* my shoulder was giving me wasn't normal.... Bear in mind, I work a physical job - I…

Thats interesting - I'm training legs three times a week on my current programme whilst I bulk but its getting to the stage where my legs are aching permanently and I'm thinking of going back to one leg day + deadlifts on a pull day/week when I cut. I'm actually wondering if its because I do an active job and am always on…

I have a formula for being a 2800 maintainer it's called "work your *kitten* off on a farm"...;)

Christ! Do you have a sedentary job? I'm only 2" taller than you and I maintain on 2800....

What the? No. Any fule kno that cabbage and bacon is the way forward.

I never manage to get this bit right. Once I stop cutting I go a bit mental and I do tend to slide into bulking on a 300 cal/week increase. Ah well.

Buy some chickens. Grain is cheap - then eggs come out of their arses and when they are done laying you can kill them and eat them. They taste just like...chicken.

Hell no.

There are three main aspects too fitness - Strength, speed and endurance. People seem to train the last two a lot and miss the first one.

I do circuit training (which as far as I can see is the 'old' name for HIIT) once a week, even when I'm bulking to maintain my cv fitness (I usually play 80 minutes of Rugby on a Saturday too). I just have to eat through it. Shame.

There are two kinds of muscle - fast twitch and slow twitch. Distance running uses slow twitch muscle, essentially, you don't need much of it to propel your body at a steady pace for a long time. Fast twitch muscle is used for explosive movements, and can only fire for a short period of time. It is this muscle you are…

I've never bought flavoured protein powders - I have cheap whey isolate from myprotien (which doesn't have sweeteners etc) and put it in stuff with flavour - I like a scoop in milk with a bit of vanilla extract and sugar - basically tastes like melted ice-cream or I flavour it with cocoa and sugar or hot chocolate powder...

MFP £0 Scales £10 (bargain) Using the literally zillions of workout routines posted for nothing on the internet... £0 ok, I have a gym membership, but apart from that......

No.

I log mine as 'circuit training - general'. I don't quite believe that I burn nigh on 500 cals/hour doing it (which is what mfp gives me), so I knock 100 off for good measure.

I know that when I come out of a cut and get my glycogen stores back, I suddenly gain about 8lbs - its not fat. Just bear that in mind - a fluctuation of 1-2lbs is very minor.

I actually studied aquaculture (long story) and the creatures involved would have been swimming against a constant current. However, my point remains valid, even with your example, because some humans 'move about' more than others naturally (see: NEAT etc). I have an active job and I have no idea how much exercise I'm…

Everybody does seem to have been remarkably helpful and skirted the obvious onanism innuendo that the image in the OP seems to provoke..... :#

We do, but within certain parentheses. I studied feed science (I am now a farmer) for a long while, and even within species/strains, animals will have varying FCRs (a FCR is an animals ability to convert its food into somatic growth - Feed Conversion Ratio). I see no reason why this should be any different in Homo Sapiens.…
