In on this thread... It's a good idea.

If anyone needs help or has questions on what is/isn't true I'll be periodically checking in on this thread.

Someone should find something about cardio not being an efficient way to lose weight. I can't find it now, but a while back I was reading a study that showed people who jogged more, gained more weight. They all ate a ton more than people who didn't run. I know it's not a direct correlation, but it was a good read.

cardio doesn't affect fat, it's all dependant on how many calories you eat and how many you use. some people find cardio helps them burn calories, but they could acheive the same result by eating less.

That isn't really a scientific premise.

Weight loss is caloric intake vs caloric expenditure, it's just people don't seem to understand cardiovascular exercise is a VERY inefficient way to manipulate caloric levels and people overestimate their expenditure = excessive eating = caloric surplus = weight gain.

Exactly. I use cardio just to elevate VO2 max, and lower my resting heart rate/blood pressure. this has to be one of the biggest myths in the fitness industry

Lol m8 that's a load of crap. Cardio doesn't make you gain weight...

He was referring to the appetite stimulation. It's actually an interesting premise, albeit one that's impossible to prove.

Heres a not-so-common misconception, but its actually true:

Eating 2000 Calories under your maintenance will actually make you gain body tissue (gain weight).

Don't argue with science.

I know it's not a scientific premise. It does deal with the way most people view cardio though, like you said.

Been wondering about this for a while. thanks for the link

But guyz!! Ur forgetting something HUGE!!!! And I'm srs too...but ever since I tried cell-tech ive seen massive and I mean MASSIVE results!! I raised my bench press at an average of 43lbs a day! I've seen a 8400% increase in mass and a 460% increase in strength after every single workout! Just 3 scoops with breakfast, a scoop or six with my nano vapor, 2 scoops post workout along with a 2lb tub of nitro tech, and 3 scoops before bed can increase your mass gained by 56% more than a professional HGH/test cycle! It's also backed by real science on the muscletech website !

If, right now, I was sucking 2 dicks while jacking off another dick in each hand, it still wouldn't be as gay as this thread.

Congrats, Drake & company

The ****'s your problem today?

Does time of consumption for creatine matter? Or is it the same as the "After work-out shake myth"?

[DDon1996]

It's the same, I'm typing this as I'm practically on my way out the door for the gym, so I CBF linking sources... If no one else does before I come back, I will later.

[wankstaganksta]

will frequently read this thread

[WannaBeATank]

Thanks dude. I'm trying to kill all the broscience at my gym, this thread is gonna be my source.

[MrB1g]

As Don said, it's the same.

I don't have an article on this one though I'm afraid.

People go on and on about creatine uptake etc. about spiking insulin to promote creatine uptake, taking it at certain times while forgetting that the aim of creatine supplementation is to reach saturation. Once you're at that point, some minute difference in uptake (if there is any) will have absolutely no effect.

[perryvillelax93]

Just joking, qt. I'm sad that no one invited me.

Cheer up you just hit 15k posts

Are you sure about that?

Random, so it doesn't take long to go into effect? Also, i'll be banging the ballz out of you guys with questions. As stated above, my gym is broscience headquarters.

Snorkelman had a lovely chart which I should've saved comparing the saturation rates of loading at 20g/day and supplementing at 5g/day.

Off the top of my head I believe it was 2 weeks and a month respectively, with no difference after that.

That or have very, very minimal effects.

will diet have any affect on blood cholesterol levels?

[MrB1g]

Yes.

[xNYG]

Good thread is good.

[MnLifter21]

I eat like every 4 hours maybe, don't count macros.

**** works great.

[perryvillelax93]

Are you sure about that?

I swear it said 15k for a minute...

Maybe I'm losing my mind. I'll let people get back on topic.
