will vary on your overall diet, and how consistent your training and cardio is.
Indeed, it's a diet / lifestyle just like any other. It gives you more freedom to do some things and less freedom for others, but it comes down to what works best for you. Personally, I enjoy working out real hard and then devouring a triple baconator com Wendy's as a late lunch. Or eating chocolate as soon as my workout is done. Or not having to worry about cooking breakfast. etc
Yeah it has to fit your schedule. Did you know that Martin actually takes on clients for contest prep now? So there is a specific prep method designed for competing. I would so love to learn it but he charges a lot of money just for his layouts of how to cut much less a competition prep. I think when I checked it was $450 for either cutting or bulking, or $1000 for both plans. That was just for all of the info and not him doing it for you. So I am sure him actually coaching your prep would be way more.

Thanks, Solution! I'm going to try this out for the next few weeks and see how by body adjusts. I did IF during my erase/daa run but was in a constant caloric deficit. Now that I'm bulking it's a way different story.
You cant aid in fatloss when your in a caloric surplus for the week, thats impossible. You burn fat from a daily caloric deficit or a weekly deficit
Sure it's possible....just add 500mg of tren :lol:
Recompadrol will keep insulin sensitivity up to about 6 weeks post cessation. Just saying
Recompadrol is definitely where its at.
Never had, what can you compare it to?
Mrkleen73s response to essentially the same exact question a couple pgs back:
Missed that one; appreciate it.
Well i have team workouts with my baseball team 3x a week. I really am not a fan whatsoever of the programming and try to throw in one more squat/back session another day bc i feel our program really neglects back training (more so scapular retraction than anything).
20-30 min before a meal
Depends on Goal, if cutting and raising extra kcals on those lagging days it may be beneficial (as sort of small refeeds for the week) to help boost t3, leptin and hormone levels and aid in fatloss/weightloss while trying to preserve strength.
I don't do IF but yes this is possible, like solution said it can get difficult having a number of differen macro days.
I have been cutting and would like to continue to do so until I'm around 12%BF before I start a slow bulk. And just so I'm reading this right, you're recommending less of a calorie swing from training days to off days? not necessarily to follow the (+10/-30)?
Correct and my reasoning was why was above. many people who swing kcals have a bad mood, lack of energy, and the next day when they train have subpar sessions. now is this true for everyone? not really. this is why the human body is a not a textbook and how different things work for different people. many who do follow IG/LG found that if you do increase kcals on off days and still maintain the weekly surplus/deficit they have better sessions and great recovery. is this true for all ? not really,
I was doing Mountain Dog Training for a while. Right now I am in between programs, will be doing my own full body program I put together a long while back. After that I may go back to MD for a bit until I do my show then will be switching over to something more well rounded for general fitness.
Need2 is pretty good but not worth the money considering it is not any better than the others you mentioned. As far as the GI issues those come from the Berberine in the AP, it is also in Glycobol, and Recompadrol as well as a few others. It is unlikely that you will have GI issues if you don't get them from Recompadrol. Recompadrol has Berberine, and Cambogia Garcinia - both of which have been know to cause some people GI issues. So if you didn't get it from that I think you will be fine. By the way AP is my 2nd favorite GDA behind Recompadrol. It is basically P-Slin and Berberine.
This is very personal, for me I feel better and have great workouts doing the caloric swing. Part of the reason I don't see the same performance issues that others do is that I often save about 100 g of carbs for my evening meal on off days. So when I wake up in the morning for fasted training I still have plenty glycogen in my muscle for a solid workout.
Exactly what i do if i do fasted morning training.
While I typically agree with everything above, I'd like to make a note.
No, its just how you want to set things up.
I wasn't referring to confusing you, the poster before that is who I was referencing. I knew you wouldn't be confusedNo, its just how you want to set things up. Anyone can get to 5-6% eating carbs earlier in the day.
The key factor is total kcals over a prolonged period of time (Caloric Deficit) that will get the individual to that lean of a state with their training+Cardio on top of that to aid fat burning/fat loss. You dont have to carb backload like the BR diet suggests, its just another way to manipulate your caloires or shift them to later in the night to get those benefits.
I can post pictures of many people who got to 5-6% doing it that way and also doing more carbs earlier in the day
personal preference in the end.
Did i do a good job of not confusing you
Must be too tired after dealing with 5th graders all day. maybe i should get some rest haha.
If you are working out, lifting and whatnot in the morning, I would highly suggest having a large meal right after and use that as the start for your feed window, as it is the time of the day you will be needing the most nutrients and it will be the time you are least likely to put on fat.
Exactly what I do - the meal post-training is the largest and I can pretty much eat anything...Back eating re MY "Lean Gains" (I use the 16-hour fast/8-hour eating window only) way and have maintained my leanest and best aesthetic conditioning now for the last two weeks - really made the difference once I started training again...
Cheers, bud - this was after literally having for FORCE myself to eat because my appetite was just GONE (which is a good thing AND a bad thing), and I maintained 7.8% bodyfat for three weeks (now up to 8.1% bodyfat after 10 days of being "off" the 16-hour fast/8-hour eating window and a couple of days off training). So, know I can do it and with relative ease once training is on pointe and I am back in routine. Going to maintain this from now on (well, <8.3% bodyfat is the goal, since 7.8% might be asking a little much LOL).Rosie -you are looking PEEELED girl!
Thanks, Chris
I have YOU to thank for that adjustment to my nutrition! You'll do it - I know you will. Allowed another week "off" my 16/8 and definitely notice the difference in the way I feel, so today is back on track re that - and training, since going to be doing the Spartan Beast in Texas in a month!
My dude, carb back load.
That's what I would do. Or even have two smaller 400 kcals meals to fuel the workout.
This....
