    The Lean Gains / IF learning and Discussion Log

    4600 calories today with another 21 minutes left in my feed. I keep going higher and higher and nothing so far has caused me to keep any weight that I don't lose just as fast on my rest days with lower calories. It sure would be nice to put on a few pounds...

    Recomp Questions...

    You've had good results like this? I've tried it, though maybe not for long enough, and I end up with subpar results. For me now, everything I do is the zig-zag approach. I never bulk or cut more than two weeks straight at the most. Then again, I'm not much of a bodybuilder like most of the...

    Recomp Questions...

    You're right, basically. A recomp is a series of short caloric deficits and surplusses. Instead of bulking for months, you bulk for a few days or a week at most, then you cut for a few days. The long term result is less fat and more muscle. It's a slow process because the changes are more...

    The Lean Gains / IF learning and Discussion Log

    Bulk is the way to go. I get my BCAA and creatine in bulk form that way I can get exactly the amount I want. I mix a scoop of BCAA into my pre-workout drink, and a scoop of each in some 0 calorie sports drink for during my workouts.

    Best supplement to bulk and cut?

    If you paid any attention, my comment was not in disagreement with Rosie's or vice-versa. She was more thorough and I was amused that someone would spend the time to register and post at a forum like this without doing any research at all first, so I was a little bit sarcastic. Seriously...

    That's basically opposite of logical. You need the aminos most when you're fasted. If you've already had a meal or two, they're not going to make as profound of a difference.

    Best supplement to bulk and cut?

    Those are contrary goals and nothing is done fast, with or without supplements.

    The Lean Gains / IF learning and Discussion Log

    I'm a LeanGains follower as well. I typically train in the morning around 8-9 am, fasted with BCAA's then eat until 3-5 pm, depending on the day. Sometimes I have things going on in the evening that interrupt when I'd like to be eating, so I try to get the calories in earlier. I notice the...

    Best weight gainer?

    lol, Isomass isn't bad. It gets you the calories, BCAAs, and a bunch of creatine with every serving. The downside is that many of the calories come from Maltodextrin, which has a pretty high GI. So, if you can't get your calories in another way, it's a good gainer, but obviously making a...

    Rock's Quest For a Black Belt

    Today's lifting, kind of boring, but necessary now and then I guess. Supersets are grouped together. I worked two lifts for four sets each, then moved on to the next two lifts. BB Bench Press: 185/8, 9, 8, 8 DB Curls: 40/9, 9, 10, 7 EZ Bar Bent-Over Rows: 205/10, 10, 10, 8 DB Skull Crushers...

    DRUG TESTING

    You're definitely fine with pretty much any supplement or even steroids for that matter.

    DRUG TESTING

    Depends on what you're being tested for, but it's expensive to test for T levels. Are you talking about athletic competition or a job?

    Deployed on a ship bulk to gain 10 pounds lean weight. Am I dreaming

    It sounds to me like you're good to go. Obviously, there might be a few things you need to adjust from being at home, but no big deal. I actually prefer to train my legs in the 15-20 rep range. Do you have the flexibility/balance to do one leg body weight squats? They're surprisingly hard if...
