intermittent fasting for a bulk?
Anyone done this or kno if it's been done with as much or better success than the typical 6 meals a day. Kinda wanna try it out but that would mean eating 4000 Cal within something like a 6hr window in 2-3 sittings. I don't have lots of knowledge on the lean gains fasting stuff. Any one feel like helping a bro out?

All evidence proves to do so , But i would suggest a bit of a bigger fast...18-20 hours , so autophagy can occur
! Good luck!

It's an amazing method to say the least. Love to train fasted & what's better than knowing after this workout your about to have a big meal. It's more like a reward. Lol

Is training fasted part of the lean gains plan? I was planning on eat round 1800 Cal at 1 pm and 2200 at 6000 n I normally workout any time from 10pm-1pm? Does this work IR us there a better way to set it up?

IMO intermitten fasting is some ****ing dumb ****, especially cuse you have dumb bitches saying **** like this
But i would suggest a bit of a bigger fast...18-20 hours , so autophagy can occur - 04-27-2012, 03:19 PM
yeah I never understood why people want to do IF for an all out bulk.... or why they'd train fasted during a bulk. You're cutting yourself short on gains in strength and size.
IF is by definition, a lean gains diet, AKA recomp.. If you plan an all out BULK, and maximize gains in both strength and size... IF is not the way - 04-27-2012, 03:26 PM
1. You don't have to train fasted on IF.
2.IF isn't by definition a "lean gains diet" LG is only one style, not all IF, and even then only when using 20/-20 calorie cycle is it geared towards recomp. You can use it for dieting, or bulking. It comes down to calories.
It may be hard for some people with high caloric requirements to get down all their food in that short of a window. That could pose a problem.
However I do feel you have a point with if wanting to maximize size gains there is probably better options.
I still follow my same IF diet however I add a small morning feeding, making my fast closer to 12hrs when I am bulking. It has been working well. - 04-27-2012, 04:08 PM
I hear ya. It's definitely a new approach for me as well, and I'm still learning about it. I don't think I'd ever use it except to recomp though, it seems optimal for that.
I can't train fasted when aiming for max strength in the gym. I'd just feel depleted and empty, neeeeed that protein and carb meal before hand. I powerlift, so it just doesn't make sense for me, but since I train in the evening, it would be easy to have a bite before and then just have the feast post-workout. - 04-27-2012, 04:17 PM

I typically don't train fasted anymore as I train at night now but really enjoyed when I did.
Ps. Clear your pm box real quick. - 04-27-2012, 04:20 PM

Yeah...he clearly knows what autophagy means , and has read everything about IF and knows that you dont need to train fasted...Wow, question , did someone hang a sign on this forums entrance that reads "Aliterate clowns allowed, just curse and swear a lot , without the humility to learn and actually do some research before opening your pie hole!"
