Could pop-tarts in the diet help with increased mass and strength gains? Specifically when bulking.
Would you spend 2-400 of your calories a day in a deficit on something likely to make you hungrier? If so, then yes.On a cut.
A lot of support for these things, I just don't get it ? so here is a counter point for your question.....Could pop-tarts in the diet help with increased mass and strength gains? Specifically when bulking.
GDAs are almost pointless post training. The GLUT-4 activation from intense training is much higher than anything a GDA will do.Whenever I eat something like a pop tart. It would be post workout majority of the time and I'll pop glucozene which will help with insulin sensitivity and glucose transport.
Could it not actually be counterproductive even? Iirc not many ingredients in gdas (maybe berberine? I think i remember hearing 1 was) are specific to act solely in muscle tissue whereas the glut-4 expression resulting from training IS selective to muscle tissue. So what I'm saying is taking a gda post workout could also stimulate glut-4 activation in adipocytes where it otherwise would not have been active, leading to an increased (albeit likely slight) susceptibility to storing fat instead of disposing glucose into muscle as glycogen.GDAs are almost pointless post training.

In theory, yes, but I would think the activation from training would override it.Could it not actually be counterproductive even? Iirc not many ingredients in gdas (maybe berberine?

Im not saying that as a fact, just that from what I remember, that would be the case. Someone correct me if im wrong.
This is the primary counter argument for not just eating anything you can fit into your macros, and poses the prime question to OP: you wanna eat oats w berries and a tbsp of pb or do you wanna eat poptarts and gummy bears?A lot of support for these things, I just don't get it ? so here is a counter point for your question.....
No, not good. Do not consume "junk" food on a bulk even if "they're crazy good" .....don't ever eat Pop-Tarts...pls review the label and you will see nothing healthy in them at all and possibly some dangerous stuff which could have neg adverse effects. As you can tell I have a bias against them so if you want to become a fat disturbing piece of blubber then go ahead and chow down on these high calorie chemicals
THIS.This is the primary counter argument for not just eating anything you can fit into your macros, and poses the prime question to OP: you wanna eat oats w berries and a tbsp of pb or do you wanna eat poptarts and gummy bears?
If you wanna try to live as long as possible, probably would go with the oats. If you have IBS or Crohn's that destroys your ability to process nutrients and are trying to be a competitive heavyweight strongman at all costs, you might go for the latter.
You only get one life - live it however you see best.
There is no need for carbs post-workout. Drinking a protein shake will spike insulin just fine and will actually have an effect on MPS. Carbs post-workout will help replenish glycogen stores, which can help with physical fatigue after an intense weightlifting session, but they have no effect on MPS unless an insufficient amount of protein is consumed (6g if I remember correctly). This has been demonstrated in scientific studies.THIS.
Nothing special about pop-tarts. Yeah they taste great, but the reason people say eat poptarts post workout is the sugar for the insulin spike. I prefer a bowl of oats with some honey and cinnamon with chicken on the side or scoop or two of whey. Look at all the crap in pop tarts too. Every now and then yeah I'll have poptarts post workout or some sugary cereal post workout.
I chow down on these high calorie chemicals and I am far from a fat disturbing piece of blubber lol...A lot of support for these things, I just don't get it ? so here is a counter point for your question.....

Haha, and calling them "dangerous" is a bit sensational, unless you're allergic to them or something, haha. Also, and now I'm definitely nitpicking his comment, but isn't negative adverse effects a bit redundant?I chow down on these high calorie chemicals and I am far from a fat disturbing piece of blubber lol...
I'm trying to think of positive adverse effects and I'm drawing a blank.Haha, and calling them "dangerous" is a bit sensational, unless you're allergic to them or something, haha. Also, and now I'm definitely nitpicking his comment, but isn't negative adverse effects a bit redundant?
Hold on, wouldn't a negative adverse effect be a positive or beneficial effect?I'm trying to think of positive adverse effects and I'm drawing a blank.

Good catch. It's a double negative. So, scientifically, poptarts are gains.Hold on, wouldn't a negative adverse effect be a positive or beneficial effect?
Yup. But really, if eating a pop tart is the most "dangerous" thing you do, or even makes it on the list, I don't really know what to say, except you must be really fun at parties.Good catch. It's a double negative. So, scientifically, poptarts are gains.
LOL, that is what I am thinking in this thread. I am living my life on the very edge everyday if this is the case.Yup. But really, if eating a pop tart is the most "dangerous" thing you do, or even makes it on the list, I don't really know what to say, except you must be really fun at parties.
