LOL
1)Your body has no idea how much overall calories its being given. Its how much and when you give it amino acids and carbohydrates/fats. "Timing"
Um, actually yes it does. It is either in an anabolic or catabolic state. Your body knows if it's starving. If it doesn't receive the nutrients it needs it goes into a catabolic state and begins breaking down muscle tissue. So moving on.....
You can't find a better argument than "lol" you are making a fool out of yourself.
3)Bro....progressive overload for a beginner is just going to result in the beginner lifting with horrible form, not emphasizing the negative, not emphasizing "constant tension" on the targeted muscle.
LMAO. So Mark Rippetoe's starting strength program made famous by the principles of progressive resistance is going to result in a break in form? Funny you should say so, because the 10,000 people on this forum and others including myself NEVER broke their form on starting strength as a result of linear progression.
Let me educate you on something....
When you begin a linear based routine you start with light weight and focus on your form. You then program something called "motor pattern" and motor pattern is the process in which the peripheral nervous system sends impulses to the CNS through the spine to change its movements in accordance to the way you "program" your body to move. That is why you "program" good form and then begin adding weight while maintaining the practice on this form. You will not "break form"
The "negative" phase of a lift in physiology is called the ECCENTRIC phase and this is when a muscle is LENGTHENING and not shortening. This is when gravity is assisting with the lift and you are NOT the motive force. You are resisting the weight and gravity is assisting with it. During the concentric phase, you are moving AGAINST gravity and the muscle begins to short and therefore exerts force upward involving the agonst and synergist muscles that perform the actual lift.
4)Whats with your tons of "calories" theory? haha Your body doesn't work that way my friend.
So your body doesn't use calories to build muscle? Did your mens health magazine tell you this or your "bro at the gym?"
Lets see you gain LBM outside of a caloric surplus. I'm interested in seeing that.
5)Bodybuilding is all about making your body more "receptive" to nutrients, so we (bodybuilders) try to enhance our protein synthesis rate, insulin sensitivity, fat metabolism. You can eat 4000 calories and not gain a single pound of muscle. Your training/nutrition/hormone levels will dictate your protein synthesis / insulin sensitivity / fat metabolism. If those are on point, your calories WILL go towards your goals if taken at the right "times" of course.
You will not eat 4,000 calories a day and not gain a single pound of muscle. I know powerlifters that eat 4-5,000 calories per day of whatever they want when they want and gain arguably MORE muscle in a single cycle then your beloved bodybuilders that has nutritionists do their diets for them. Even when you gain fat your body will gain muscle with it since it puts extra stress on the body to carry yourself around.
6)Heres what you wrote...
"Don't see where you're going with this either. You can do your TUT 15-50 second eccentric/concentric phase with the bar all day long but it ain't gonna mean nothing. You need weight on the bar in order for it to count. There's a reason programs with the principles of progressive overload are so successful. You think hypertrophy is all in the technique and TUT but you are wrong. Hypertrophy is all about progressive overload and good nutrition.
Not to mention there are two forms of hypertrophy, myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic and both are generally stimulated differently than the other. "
7)Dude...of course weight matters, my point was for the beginner to stop WORRYING about progressive overload because he's obviously not using optimal form for his structure. When your so worried about progressive overload you tend to get really loose with your form and stop focusing on the tension of the "TARGETED" muscle.
You do not break your form by using progressive overload. That is the most uneducated and ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life. Like I said, learn what motor pattern is and you will see what I am talking about. You teach your body to move properly during exercise in the beginning of your lifting with light weight and then as you PROGRESS in the big lifts your form will stay the way you taught your body to lift.
8)Their are alot of things to learn in bodybuilding/powerlifting. Their are things that you shouldn't learn at such a young age, understand? If a youngster is focusing on progressive overload, every single week hes going to go in the gym and literally do ABSOLUTELY anything and everything just to beat his previous personal best. Meaning loose form, engaging your secondary muscles so much that their is little and interrupted tension on the targeted muscle.
You don't need to lose form and starting raising your butt of benches to increase linear loading.
After overload, your CNS begins to activate previously inactive motor units inside of the muscle tissue that give you linear gains. Each and everytime you place progressive stress on the muscle, the nervous system in return activates more muscles and a higher % of those muscles.
Just like dynamic "speed training" delays the Golgi Tendon Organs stretch reflex to the brain and allows you to exert a higher % of muscle fibers. This goes completely against your "theory" of TUT yet complies with progressive overload in increasing strength.
9)For various types of muscle fibers, I never discussed that.
Obviously. My statement was your TUT is going to train the IIA fibers more so than the rest. This is going to result in increasing your isometric contraction capability while failing to succeed in concentric and eccentric enhancement.
Trying to keep this positive, can I ask you.....how mad are you when you read my post? Because you made some assumptions of what I do / believe in when you only read one post from me? My advice was some solid advice, ill stand by that.
Stand on the wrong side of the street if you want to. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink. I know my physiology and kinesiology. I've taken 2 years of exercise science in college as well as gotten certified through two of the highest accredited organizations there is. I'm not quite concerned with what you've been lead onto believe.
I was not mad at all when I read your post. I've got a lot more in my life going on than what some random dude on a forum thinks about training.
And I understand Obviously their is NO WAY in hell you will agree with me or have the "INTELLIGENCE" to realize what im trying to say. (or maybe im making assumptions of you? maybe your a cool dude? dunno.) I say that because I want to keep this positive.
I'll keep any discussion positive. I won't personally attack you. I've never personally attacked anyone during a disagreement on this site or in person.
Also "tons of calories" is so generic. Gotta be more specific with that. Is "nutrient timing" the best way? Maybe. Possibly. But in the end its just another way. I just go by how the body functions.
Timing is important, but so are the total caloric consumption itself. You won't gain significant LBM during a caloric deficit as you would with a caloric surplus.
But what the hell do I know, I look like **** and I always fail my clients? (the sarcasm is strong in me!) hehe
I don't care what you look like. That doesn't have anything to do with understanding how your body works.
You might consider looking up Mark Rippetoe, the author of starting strength. Linear progressive resistance was made by throughout the internet by his program. Why don't you ask how many people on this forum used his linear programming with success. If you don't give your body new reasons to grow each workout, you will not hypertrophy but homeostasis.
