Actually, you will gain muscle quite well eating "junk" or buffets, but you will also have to likely spend more time in the future cutting the excess fat gained with that muscle. Time cutting=time...

Have you noticed any loss of mass once you reached a certain age? That is the one thing I do worry about as I age is that I will eventually lose muscle at some point no matter how dedicated I am to...

Like I said, the natural ceiling depends on the individual. For me, I believe I am close to my genetic limit of gains (especially being 38 and T dropping). For the genetically gifted, their gain...

Not implying anyone here is not natural, just saying that there is a limit with drug-free as opposed to being assisted for each individual. I believe 30-40 lbs is attainable for most without the use...

Been lifting on and off since 1994. Started at 135 lbs and about 15% bf, bench press max of 115 lbs at the time. Now, 18 years later, I'm 183, 14% bf and cutting for a show (last one was in '99 at...

I'll agree here. Never thought brahs were adding insoles to get a height. I believe it though..It seems like when I'm out, 5'10" seems less than average now. I thought only girls were artificially...

At least you're getting back in the right direction...Good luck man.

I still don't see Skeletor when I look in the mirror...DOH! God, there was a lot more fat in the beginning of the cut than I thought. What will I look like at 38 and sub 10% has really gotten me...

Thanks. I think I will switch gears to cut mode for the next month or two. Whatever time I lose now on my bulk, I can just add back once I get going heavy again. If I do it right, I can heal and...

Has anyone ever had to work around a rib injury? I was doing my 3rd set of deadlifts last night, and I felt an awful pop in my ribs on the 4th rep, near failure. I was in great pain after that and...

I agree that fat, aromatase, and estrogen levels are correlated with each other, but we have to consider the real cause and effect relationship, and that some people may have naturally higher...

Well...did he win?

That photo is fake, right?

I don't think one's percent bodyfat has much effect on gaining muscle. It can be done at any bodyfat percentage as long as your are getting enough protein and are in caloric surplus.
You can short...

Sure we can. Most of us do that. However, as you said, it requires some effort to track. I would expect every competitor to know their maintenance level within 300 cals/day. The more measurements one...

Agreed. I think we all are saying the same thing, but my communication skills over the computer are a little weak today...time to eat I guess.

When I am talking about macros, I am referring to grams of each, not percentage of total caloric input. Sorry for the confusion. All my original point was that macros (in grams/day) are set by...

I think everybody misunderstood my post. Sorry for the confusion folks. I am just saying that macros are a guessing game for a lot of dieters and they can set up macro targets that are not ideal for...

Nope. Never claimed that. I would say I was in the 7-8% range there. I never reached shredded condition because I ran out of time. It was a show I did because I just wanted to give it a go being the...

I agree with the IIFYM philosophy to an extent, but one needs to remember that "If it fits your macros" is personal and people will set "their" macros where they want them. What I mean is, some of...
