    I don't think it would. Some suggest it might, but it would have to somehow alter nutrient partitioning and conservation of energy mandates that weight gain be directly related to intake. Having more fat cells cannot make mass materialize from nothing :) It's possible that somehow nutrient...

    I know, I caught that. That's why I said 3000 is much more reasonable than 6000. I also just emphasized that it's unlikely that 2,600 was "way low' as you said. You might be right that 3k is better for him, but he won't know unless he gives 2,600-2,700 a shot. It's perfectly inline with most...

    It's a good starting point. You could have a monster metabolism. Who knows? But, give it at least 3-4 weeks before you start messing with things. ^_^ IF you want to start really educating yourself on the science of training, check out Lyle McDonalds website BodyRecomposition DOT com. Don't...

    Here is what a 300lb monster eats: Ronnie's nutrition: Calories: 5562 Carbohydrates: 474g Protein: 564g Fats: 150g bodybuilding(DOT)com/fun/ronnie-colemans-fitness-program.html In the context of Ronnie Colemans 5,562 kcal/day diet, I don't think that it's unreasonable that you're eating half...

    Staying under 15 is a great goal. But, it's up to you whether you want to do the whole 3 steps forward, 2 steps back or just keep a tighter diet. You don't need to get fat to gain muscle. You just need to be in caloric excess and lift weights. Doing things like ensuring adequate pre-workout and...

    Even if he wanted to aim for 4lbs/mo -- which is far beyond what a natural person who is 5'6" at 148.8lbs can do -- that's 474 kcal/day over baseline. 3k is far more reasonable than 6k, but 2600 is unlikely to be "way low" unless his workout intensity is nuts and his daily caloric expenditure by...

    Good man! Most people don't realize the reality of their situation. They keep eating until they're big and fat, and convince themselves it's muscle. lol. Always makes me laugh when some dude tells me "yeah, bro, i'm 230 now." like he's hyyyyuuuuugeeee. More like, I'm 160 lbs LBM and need to...

    In the beginning of the thread, you weighed 145 "dehydrated". My experience is that means morning. Assuming that's correct, you're up 3lbs in a week. Considering you can -- at best -- expect 1-1.5lbs/muscle per month without AAS, I'd delay the add more calorie hysteria personally. You said...

    Why do you want him to get fat after he just leaned out so nicely?

    Low carb electrolyte/hydration/replenishment drink?

    You need some carbohydrates to really get electrolyte replenishment. This is is why pedialyte, gatorade, etc. have carbhydrates. The transport of electrolytes from the gut lumen to the enteric vasculature is dependent upon sugar--there is a cotransport system. Carbs are your friend, not your...

    Blood work results

    Were the testosterone draws at the same time of day? You can get 20-30% variance between an AM and PM draw.

    Article: Obese Patients Trust Fat Doctors More

    Physicians aren't dieticians or nutritionists, that's true. But a thin, fit physician surely knows a thing or two about physical activity and portion control. For the vast majority of Americans they could simply go for walks and start a caloric restriction diet program and move into a much more...

    175 at your height is BIG when lean. Take it a pound at a time ^_^

    I personally have been loving my upper/lower split, hitting each group 2x/wk (decreased volume). I'm getting stronger and bigger faster than I was prior hands down. Wish I tried this sooner :/

    BJJ is a cerebral art. Very fun, but if you like strength and power wrestling is more that directly although ti's still technical. The exercise ball isn't that bad. Jam your toes under a weight rack to anchor yourself. You'll be fine. It works very well!

    Wow... intense. My ab workout to date has been brazilian jiu jitsu. I only started doing targeted abs 2 weeks ago. And, I do three sets of weighted abs on an exercise ball. haha Keep up the great work, DS.

    TRT...and erections!!!???

    6' and 180lbs at 31yrs? I'm surprised your fasting blood glucose was 110. Are you sure you fasted long enough? Honestly, I don't know how reversible ED in that hypothetical is. You'd probably have to have that discussion with a urologist. My understanding is that that type of damage to the...

    TRT...and erections!!!???

    How old are you? Height/weight? How big is your waist? What is your cholesterol like? Do you wake with erections in the mornings? Do you have anxiety during intercourse? These are questions that need to be addressed with your PCP. There are many possible reasons for erectile dysfunction. I'm...
