You can aim for around 40-60 seconds per set as a guideline. But don't get too concerned about the specifics.

The main goal is stressing the muscle and progressively increasing the intensity...

Looking forward to the samples!

Hey Chris,

What's a healthier snack: A handful of nuts (good fats) or a serving of brown rice (complex carbs), assuming equal calories?

I think that's probably what it is.


Oh I definitely agree. I just notice this special lightening effect that is used often to really make the photos pop.

I see photos often like this that seem enhanced to really show muscle detail and vascularity. Along with...

Makes sense to me! Thank you! This was exactly what I was looking for.

Appreciate the help.

That's what I thought. Carbs, then Fats, then muscle as a last resort.

So then, in a very low calorie diet, why doesn't the body just use up all the fat stores for energy, rather than start...

Does the body burn muscle or fat first, when carbs are not available?

I was wondering, when in a starvation diet, why doesn't the body just use up all the fat stores for energy, rather than start...

I think this sums it up best.

Even with all the evidence of purely cals in/out, I still feel like what those calories are made of can make a huge difference. If me and my friend both ate the same amount of calories and reached...

I agree. And I should've said minimum fat gain rather than none.

How do you feel about the debate of purely focused on calories in/out vs. what those calories are made up of in regards to...

Alright so for an intermediate to advanced bodybuilder trying to continue to build muscle and no gain any fat, would would be the best diet plan? How many surplus calories?

How about this:

Is it possible to gain muscle and lose fat at the same time?

Alright makes sense. So would you agree with this statement:

It comes down to calories in vs calories out when it comes to losing weight, but it's the quality of calories (complex carbs, proteins...

This is a very interesting topic. Here's another question for you guys:

What makes cake bad for you? Is it:
- the high amount of carbs (that can be converted to fat)
- the high amount of fat...

I know hypothetical questions aren't great, but I'm just trying to keep things simple for clarification.

Let's say, I'm trying to meet a specific calorie count for each day in order to lose, or...

I think the misconception that many people have, including myself possibly, is in regards to dietary fats vs. body fat.

One would assume, eating fats, means gaining body fat. And also that eating...

Thank you all for the replies! There's some conflicting views but I'm starting to get a better understanding.

It seems like basically, all calories are the same insofar as His WEIGHT will not...

I've been getting a little confused with comparing fats vs. protein vs calorie intake. Some say weight gain is purely caused by a surplus of calories. While I agree partially, I also feel like it...

I see. That makes sense. I guess they assume that if you do need to learn about the actual exercises more, they are on the website.

Thanks for the help!
