SWOLE is in Season! STRONG | MASSIVE | DENSE --> PRIME!

Those are pretty sweet! I want one-especially if it will guarantee PRs in the gym every Friday!
 
Pack on the protein before you go to sleep, it will help you bulk...try to keep carbs low as it boost insulin levels and lowers GH for recovery

Eating carbs before bed will raise seretonin levels and enhance deeper sleep..

some good reading.

-- By ingesting high-fat meals in the evening, you induce "metabolic inflexibility" – effectively disrupting metabolic rate and increasing fat storage, risk of obesity, elevated insulin levels and a reduction in insulin sensitivity.

-- By ingesting high-fat meals in the morning and afternoon, you increase metabolic flexibility – setting the metabolism for higher fat oxidation throughout the day. As LPL enzyme (splits up circulating fatty acids and makes them available for storage) is higher in muscle in the AM, fats are more likely to be burned off as energy or stored as lipid droplets within the muscle (IMTG).

-- By ingesting high-carb meals in the morning, the same “metabolic inflexibility” occurred, and the metabolism is fixed towards glucose oxidation instead of fat oxidation. This also increases fat storage from meals eaten during the day, and higher-fat meals eaten in the evening in particular.
-- By ingesting high-carb meals in the evening, you get a bump in the natural leptin signal (occurring 3-6hrs after going to sleep), essentially increasing fat burning through the night and the rest of the following day.

-- Insulin sensitivity is higher in all cells early in the day, including fat cells, but decreases towards the afternoon and evening, thus partitioning carbs ingested at this time more efficiently into muscle vs. fat. This is obviously further improved by training the muscle that day.

-- Eating carbs will increase the feel-good neurotransmitter serotonin and make you sleepy. What better time to have your carbs than a couple of hours before bedtime so you can fall into a deeper, higher-quality sleep

Should just call this place AnabolicSolutions! Love coming to these great threads! All this info. . .I feel like a kid during Christmas, so many ideas and methods to try out, sample, experiment, etc.
 
All this talk about water reminds me that I always. Boost my calorie/ protein in take during a bulk by increasing my milk and shake intake. I'll even do a smoothie with either soy or Pea protein. Get your liquids and calories/protein.

Just showing you what some other evidence/research can provide. Not saying you have to follow it, or i follow it myself. There is no reason to Cut carbs at X period of time, its not magical. The human body does not work that way.

that would be optimal to allow for adequate performance my man, and i would suggest the same thing. but again some people like to carb backload, and do whatever works for them. hence why the human body is not a textbook.
 
thats true! yours is just a finer specimen than the rest of ours ;)

i do about 50-100 pre workout and about 100-150 post. seems to work pretty well!
 
Stop believing that muscle building is rocket surgery. It isn't. Get stronger, eat enough food and stay persistence.

Stop missing workouts.

Stop complaining about muscle soreness. It's part of the game. Don't miss workouts because of it. No excuses - get to the gym.

Stop complaining about every ache, pain or strain. Lifting weights is hard, and a man's game. You're going to feel off occasionally. No excuses - get to the gym.

Proper muscle building nutrition is much more than broccoli, rice and chicken breasts. Eat a variety of whole foods each week.

Eat more red meat.

Eat more eggs, including the yolks. Egg yolks are nutritionally dense.

Drink plenty of water. Then drink more.

Sleep at least 8 hours a night and take naps when possible.

Learn to cook. Muscle building nutrition doesn't have to be bland.

Having trouble reaching your calorie goals? Add butter or olive oil to your veggies.

Having trouble reaching your calorie goals? Switch to whole milk, and drink at least 3 large glasses per day.

Having trouble reaching your calorie goals? Add sour cream and cheese to every possible meal.

did the body building gods tell you to come and post this on the innerwebz??
 
A new type of Prometheus.
 
But it hurts :-(

Pains never been my problem. I have to worry about injury and overtraining. Also finding the time to workout and eat right.

Nutrition, Rest, and Cardio play a factor in overtraining and also how much you work towards max effort and the effect on your CNS< hence why periodization and utilizing RPE in your workouts will aid that.

They're awesome! Quality material and "dry-blend" too (which surprisingly makes a difference). I usually look like I went swimming after a workout, but only look like I was caught in the rain for a minute when wearing it. :D

PREACH!
 
Bulking Tip:

Just make time! Take a moment to think about the goals ahead and set the steps to achieve it. Plan your meals, your routine, and even your DOWNTIME and you will have a very successful run. Allow room for adjustments so you wont have to make excuses.
 
Use protein shakes wisely. There great after a workout to get protein in your system quick and there easy to take anywhere but they should never be your main source of protein.

Yup. Early in my training I made this mistake. I'd base my diet around what protein supps or MRP I had planned on taking.

Now, I supplement for its definition: to fit in in where I need to fill the gaps.

It made a big difference. Not necessarily with gains, but in overall health and feeling.

Thats why i usually only take 1 scoop a day max.

usually 200g Beef (or whole eggs as replacement) or mix half/half to make a stirfry
200g Chicken
100-150g Yogurt
Low Fat Cheese
Trace Sources

pretty much the basis of my protein intake.
 
I usually stick to:
Chicken/Turkey
Eggs
Beef
Cheese
Yogurt
Fish
In about that order.
 
Love me some venison.
Year round tho chicken, beef, salmon, tilapia, eggs and the occasional protein bar when I'm craving some candy

Nice rose quilt there princess! Lol!
 
So who's got what cooking today?
 
I just started cooking up 3lbs of hot Italian sausage.

haha, Funny you should say that because this last cold I'm just getting over I actually went off my lower carb diet and just ate. I actually recovered from the cold much faster than normal. Once I get back on track I think I'm gonna add in a bit more carbs instead of restricting so much.
