Powerlifting diet

The prices of AA's are rising right now. Bc I'm a cheap ass, I'm just sticking to 5g of Leucine with my pre-WO concoction.

Yea I figure as long as your not dosing luecine at a crazy dose you should be okay so long as your overall protein intake has enough of the other bcaas.

Just realized iv been measuring oats by the cup when I thought I was using a half cup. So that almost doubles my carbs.. That's like almost 3000 cals in one meal. Im a friggin beast!

Not Powerlifter, but I'm a strength athlete. I always train fasted
 
Btw would having more intra muscular fat make for better strength because of the leverage it gives in relation to the bone? Like is that why alotta powerlifters let themselves get chubby?

Athletes are going to have a higher amount of intra-muscular triglycerides, but the reason some PL'ers are in the higher BF% is because of the mentality that you have to get as big as you can to lift the most weight.

Back when I trained with a very well known crew (I will leave the name out) I was told do to my height of 6 foot I must stay at least 300lbs to be any good. I am actually much better at the 210-220 range.

You're also very young and didn't train at that weight long enough to give it a true assessment.

I trained at that weight (300lb) for 5 years. I have been this weight for one year, and I perform much better here.

But as I said, you're still very, very young. Hell, you're barely out of the Juniors category and you've even said that you don't train with barbells anymore, so how would you really know?

I did up until 6 months ago and I am stronger using a barbell than when I was training with them.

Come again? Can you re-word that sentence because you lost me? Are you saying that you're stronger now than when you were training with the team? If so, why are surprised? You're older and not even close to being at your strongest. All I'm saying is that you can't put much stock into what you could or could not accomplish while you're young and inexperienced.
