I think that the real question isn't "can I recomp?" but, rather, "should I try to recomp?"

From Alan Aragon:

"I'd say it really depends on the degree of leanness & also the degree of proximity to the person's potential for muscle gain. I think we're losing sight of my core message that...

3-5 grams of creatine monohydrate per day (at any time during the day).

Taking it post workout and/or with protein and carbs seems to result in slightly better uptake. If it's impractical,...

From Dr Mike Israetel:

"There have been some interesting ideas voiced lately on the likelihood of "recomping" (not gaining or losing weight but gaining muscle while losing fat at the same time)....

OK, so after some back and forth with Dr Lowery (one of the authors) it looks like the study is only an abstract and there's no info on it other than what the abstract contains. I asked him if he...

Nice, thanks!

The article is already pretty short dude, 3-4 minutes reading time (it's nowhere near the size of, say, Nuckols' stuff).

I would gladly share an infographic, but I have no idea how to do it...

Oh **** off man. "Ripping off other people's work" doesn't entail referencing it (I referenced Trommelen's study three times in this article)

Like the dude above said, there's no need to worry too much about a meal plan.

If I were you I would:
1. Divide my 3000 calories into 3-5 meals of 600-1000 calories each.
2. Have around 30-50g...

1. I write for the website, but it's not mine.

2. Rather than complain about the website, why don't you just read the article and criticize the content.

3. Before I started "pimping" stuff I...

That thread is Will Brink with a link to Jorn's study.

This thread is me (do I look like Will?) with a link to an internet article talking about the study and, generally, about muscle protein...

Here's a new article by Myolean Fitness on why eating protein before bed can help build more muscle (there's some really good infographics in there)


The article is largely based on Jorn...

5-8 reps is more in the "hypertrophy range" than in the "strength range".

Remember that what mainly causes muscle growth is progressive tension overload and increases in total workload over time....

I agree, but I wasn't trying to compare the RPE of different rep ranges.

My point was that training with, say, sets of 5 shouldn't be that difficult to recover from, if you are PROPERLY training...

Here's the main 3 things you need to do for fat loss and muscle retention:

1. Eat in a small-moderate caloric deficit (around 20% below maintenance calories)
2. Eat enough protein (around 1g per...

Agreed.

However, I think it's important to note that training with 3-rep sets, 5-rep sets, etc doesn't mean you are training with RPE 10.

Usually, people who train with 5 rep sets. for...

OK, I understand what you mean and I think I agree with you.

Essentially, moderate rep sets are a more time efficient way of accumulating workload (which is the primary determinant of hypertrophic...

If the total weekly volume is the same, the differences in adaptations will be relatively small

To be honest, I don't understand what exactly you man by this... Can you rephrase?
