I swear everyone on this board looks for reasons to troll people lol I only used extreme examples because that's what op asked in his original post. calm down.

Essentially, yes. It's all about calories in vs calories out if all you're talking about bodyweight. Body composition is another story.

Let's take the simplest situation for example. Let's say...

How tall are you? I think you're not eating enough calories. Use the sticky titled, " Calculating Calorie Needs and Macronutrients," to calculate your calories. I was in a similar situation as you...

this. calories in vs calories out is what matters.

correct me if im wrong anyone but if you drink your casein, you would only be in a an anabolic state overall if the total calories you ate that...

Sashimi is my fav but it's damn expensive. Lean ass protein.

if you only eat leafy vegetables you'll eventually die because you'll never gain more calories than you burn ^_^

a calories raises the temperature of 1g aka 1cm^3 of water by 1 degree celcius.

That's why i tried to emphasize that i was asking about the calorie aspect, not the digestive aspect.

Yea I usually don't pay attention to GI as the way you cook something changes the GI as well. I only threw a statement about GI in there in case a GI nazi can along.

I have a question that I've been wondering about simple carbs vs complex carbs.

Now I understand the difference between the two in that simple carbs digest faster and complex carbs slower. I also...

That's weird. When I switched from bad form to goo form it was easier if not only slightly harder for me. But everyone is different.

Are you pinching your shoulder blades together to create a...

If you can I'd use a normal squat rack as opposed to the smith machine. You work all kinds of stabilizer muscles that way and it would eliminate the partial rounding the person above mentioned. The...

oh i guess i am mistaken about the power lifters then. only came to that conclusion after seeing it in a few videos.

Please explain why you think I should work on te movement with...

For me I've seen the most gains from bringing the bar down only as far as to make your upper arm and forearms form a 90 degree angle. Anything below 90 degrees engages more of your shoulders.

As...

you took out the part where I said "but eating like that was not pleasant." I don't think I should have to eat until I want to throw up in order to bulk. And I shouldn't have to gain fat in order to...

I have trouble eating a lot and was wondering what are some helpful foods ectomorphs out there use to get more calories in while not getting full as fast. I've been having trouble eating the right...

anyone?

So I'm trying to gain lean mass and already looked into how much muscle to expect to gain (from what I've found a realistic idea is 0.5lbs a week) but I was wondering how fast I should expect my reps...

I thought 4 days is enough too but I've always had a sense that I recover slowly. What I use to do when my reps were going up was 4 sets instead of 3 for bench presses. Then one week I decided to do...

I was wondering if more people prefer a routine where tricpes are worked on their own day, or worked the same day as chest? I realize there are benefits to both but I've been finding my chest to be...
