Just posted this in the Nutrition forum might as well do the same here.

You all should check out Muscular Development magazine and specifically this month's issue.

I was rolling. They are beginning to say meal frequency doesnt matter. Two or three instances where they hinted this. They also showed a study where those on calorie restricted diets and who consumed majority of cals/CHO towards the end of their day showed more overall fat loss (read the article for details - the subjects used I think could be questioned though).

Jason Huh (IFBB pro) revealed that he trains fasted a couple times per week - go figure.

This is fukking great! I wish they stopped posting all these stupid brosciency articles on the supersite.

[illiniStrive]

I need to start getting that mag again. I evolved from Shape, to Women's Health, to Men's Health, to Muscular Development... and then the 'rents were like WTFISDAT. So I stopped buying haha.

Supersite is so bad. At least 95% of their cutting or "getting in shape" diets - "no fruits, dairy, or sugars"...lol.

Jeez!

IMO -it's the best mag in terms of their nutrition and training sections as they at least discuss/reference the most current research. Norton has a running column in the mag too which is pretty decent.

I've had it at the ben n jerry's in SF....Cant remember what it tasted like tho

[silverlightning]

sick delts Manu. its just crazy how many cals. you take in daily.

[silverlightning]

would anyone like to figure out my maintenance cals for me? I'm about 200lbs right now. workout 5-6 days a week, high volume, usually cardio at the end, 20-30 mins. other than that my activity is usually house hold chores.

[PR1MO]

Oh shiaaat! Your into it like me! Havent hacked the Apple TV just yet. I hacked my Onkyo receiver though to read a 9.2 setup - future proof

You gotta do it, It means you can play anything on it (the AppleTV) not just iTunes content, i.e. all your torrent downloads Check out www.xbmc.org and look at some screenshots etc - best media centre software ever IMO.

BB FTW!!!!! Cant wait for the next model![/QUOTE]

Amen to that. Seen leaked pics of the Torch 2 today (currently got the Torch), think im gonna go for the Bold 9900 though after seeing all the hands-on vids

[NoLimit32]

so i just started IFing Manu.
Do u recommended me going all out or should i go 80% as of right now for a month and adjust myself to IF and then go all out?
your thoughts

[Roniboney]

ye the magazines are getting better with their info.The other morning i was in a bookstore and started looking at the nutrition section.Picked up mens health dieting strategies thinking here we go. But i was surprised to see pizza,chocolate recipes,recipes with lots of fruits.I was like wtf happened in the past few months.saw one mans name all over the pages that i thought were revolutionary. Alan Aragon. what a fricking hero. It still had 6 meal a day meal plans but i distinctly remember there being no mention that it was better for metabolism. I was stoked to see that.

The world is changing thank god.

[Roniboney]

^^Hahah!! I think if I squeeze my traps together like that I can get that same look.

I need better lighting in my pic too.

What character is that?

ah Kratos,you dont have shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit on Manu.that comparison pic was scary close to what manu looks like though. You see why i thought you were looking like a Tekken or Streetfighter character. Its insane dude. I would have thought by looking at you that you were on cell-tech but wow does it motivate me to know that if i kill it,enjoy my foods every day , i can achieve something even remotely like you in the years to come.

[jagadzie]

manu- those shoulders are looking crazy strong!

This is fukking great! I wish they stopped posting all these stupid brosciency articles on the supersite.

ugh- agree. they are exhausting. no fruit, no dairy, 6 meals.... bleh.

[jagadzie]

hey guys- Cheap 5.0 will have his account back in about a month. he has to stop using the alternate account name now too otherwise the ban will be extended. just a fyi!

Oh shyt! I deifnitely have to do this hack - had no clue! Thanks for the hook up, man!

your thoughts

Thats for you to decide. If you have adjusted to the 16/8 schedule and feel fine mentally/physically then can go "all out" now. By "all out", I assume you mean in terms of training.

Some people like to ease their way into it. Just preference!

ah Kratos,you dont have shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit on Manu.that comparison pic was scary close to what manu looks like though.

Hahaha! THx, man!

No worries! I get the juicing comment every now and then...all good! I enjoy it and thrive off of it. I take it as a compliment and know that I must be doing something right. I think once I stop receiving the comment that means I need to work harder!

I really cant win either way. I wont call out any names but I get messages just about weekly on this site from juicers who say I am stupid for not juicing! That I could be 30lbs heavier and be just as lean. I dont give a flying fuk!!!!!!! Lol.

A bigger pet peeve of mine is the genetics comment - "If I had your genetics I would look like you." Yeah. Sure you would.

You can achieve what you want but that can only be decided by you. As I said so many times not only in this journal but my previous one - the mind is everything. How mentally strong are you? How driven are you? How determined are you? Only you can answer that

At the end of the day there is no substitute for hard work. Hard work always yields results.

Keep working hard, man!

manu- those shoulders are looking crazy strong!


.

Thank you! Hope training is going well!

Lol..jeez! They are on him!

[franko man]

Red Meats FTW! Your appetite's growing bigger, Manu. I remember reading that you could finally feel "somewhat full," after your 3,4 meals, that post was months ago.
Now, now. Gotta increase the portions of the meals cuz you're bigger and leaner
You think you'll ever have to combine any of your current meals? LOL, that'd be epic, 3k in 20 mins. DONE

^definitely gonna check it out. Would suggest some co-workers to start reading too, that'd present some broscience to further spread in our gym. lol
