Doesn't matter if its fasted or not, and watch out for the broscience.

Thanks sharpie. I'm mainly inquiring into the body needing more cals on heavy lift days for overall purposes, not necessarily for post-workout carb intake and its relation to recovery.

Any other...

After losing 65lbs in 16 months, I went on a bulk from nov 1st-march 1st. Gaining 15lbs in 4 months, hopefully some of that was muscle!

My maintenance is ~2500-2600. I plan on eating ~2500 on...

Leg Ext/Leg presses are bad if his ankle is f**ked. Thats like recommending someone to do a bunch of chest presses with a jacked up wrist.

I'd consult your physical therapist or doctor and see...

Thank you guys SO much, this info helped a ton.

Should I still be eating my LBM in protein? and basically cut some carbs and continue eating at just above maintenance?

Tweaked my wrist and came down with wrist tendinitis, and will be unable to lift for a few weeks (at least). I'm currently in the middle of a slow/gradual bulk (+300-500 over maintenance) and I was...

Your tri's already get hit hard from doing heavy chest work with good form. If you do back/tri you'll be hitting tri's twice a week. A good thing IMO.

You want to add 50 lbs in 3 months and her lose 50 in the same time frame?

I recommend reading ALL the stickies in this forum, the nutrition, and losing fat forums. You are clearly not educated...

Max every other day or 3 times a week. If you have the energy to do it 5x per week, you are doing it wrong. Increase intensity til you have to puke.

Hell yeah, stoked on that response and info.. I'm a firm believer in all of that, just needed some support for it.. Thanks, I'll check out Audie's profile!

Can't wait to hear what Manu can add..

This log is f**king EPIC. Seriously the highlight of my fitness-based internet reads =)

Manu, quick question if you don't mind. Do you believe in recomping? Or muscle gains on a 1-300 cal...

Someone didn't read the stiiiiiickkeeeeeesssssseeee

Leave ONE before pic. It will serve as a motivator for people looking to do the same. And you sound pretty humble about the fat loss, so keep that mentality and use it to help those you care about...

THIS.

Stay consistent with your total caloric amount DAILY as well as activity level. Don't do any of that high/low calorie cycle bulls**t. If you notice too much fat gain, cut cals slightly. ...

Most people want a swole upper body and don't care much for leg development. Also, a LOT of people like to do legs only once per week, especially if you go heavy. More rest I would assume.

OP,...

This transformation/thread should be referenced when bro-science talk of "YOU GATTA CONSUME 300g of PROTEIN BRAH" and "ONLY HIIT TO CONSERVE MUSCLE" type bulls**t comes up.

I'm a firm believer in...

Definitely a legit cut, all that running and you still built some mass!! How much did your lifts go up?

I'd say 20-21% to start with, and you gotta around be 9-10% now.

And I vote recomp/1-300...

dude, awesome transformation!! now add some muscle with a slow bulk =)

chicken salads.

I was reading Ahnold's "Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding," and in the diet section he (or the co-author) mentions you MUST eat a sufficient amount of carbs when consuming protein, and if you don't, the...
