The Hunger for Success: The Solution's Offseason

[Bnizzle163]

I honestly don't think I would like IF. Though I've never tried it...

[The Solution]

roughly what section of the 44 minutes. Im at work, dont have 44 minutes to spare lol.

You can listen tomorrow.

I honestly don't think I would like IF. Though I've never tried it...

Can't knock it till you try it, not like i really hit an 8 hour window 100% of the time. sometimes it may be 9, sometimes 7.. I just eat when it suits my schedule given my work schedule.

Its very easy eating larger meals dont be dumb and try to eat 4 pounds of potatoes and wonder why you feel bloated

[determined4000]

I honestly don't think I would like IF. Though I've never tried it...

But I would guess you do sometimes unintentionally
I started IFing over a year before I had ever heard of it just because I didn't feel like packing a breakfast/lunch before heading off to class/work. I would guess there are a good portion of Americans who skip breakfast and eat within an 8hour period.

-My issue with IF/IFers are those telling others not to eat 3-6x a day or that doing so is stupid/pointless. If someone else wants to let them.
-People thinking by eating a certain way (either IF or not IF) they are somehow going to experience vastly superior results.
-People who do it for the sole purpose to allow them to binge once a day.
-People who havent tried it who are close-minded and look down on those who do.

Really, I think people get way to caught up in hating on what others do that is different from them. If someone wants to be vegetarian, let them. Demand for meats will just decrease and price will go down for me.

The Problem is here, that means the solution does not work

That's true. I haven't tried it, so I can't have an opinion of whether or not I would like it. I am so used to eating breakfast that the thought of skipping it sounds just plain awful lol.

4lbs of potatoes and I would be balled up fetal lol.

I used to IF all the time when I worked for VW then .

Yeah, too many people get stuck in their own ways and hate on others for being different.

Ah. Yes. Nice joke. One more and you'll be on a T-roll. TROLOLOL

I wanna thank you for the idea to do those Dead Stop Deads.

It really did make a difference, and my back certainly noticed.

I pulled my last few sets at 335x5 and I'm gonna feel that tomorrow. That reset really brings it back to a focal point of a "deadlift" instead of a back extension.

That was helpful knowledge. Thanks Bob : )

No, you wouldn't: food baby would be too big, curling up would be death

Oh, I'm sure you're crazy lol. Sane people don't put their bodies through this kind of torment...AND enjoy it!

I enjoyed my deads today. I will be attempting to learn some new techniques for building further. Always open to suggestions.

Potatoes are amazing. SO many things to do with them, its ridiculous.

I space my meals (4x per day) aroun 5-6 hours apart depending the time I wake up in the morning. Sometimes I didnt have time to eat from working all day so I just go lift with some aminos in me and then have a huge 3rd meal post workout, and shhh is great

[ThailandBrah]

Never really heard of the 1.5 DB Bench Press before, what's the purpose of it? Is it for more time under tension?

Anyways, strong lifting and eats in the past few days dude!

The one for sheiko is called deadlift to knees not deadlift dead stops.

Do you eat a chunk of your macros post workout? The meals seem to be loaded!

[ShadowWolfe]

whats the cals of your PWO typically look like? both those meals look like an enormous amount of food.

I listened to that interview on you, but didn't recall hearing whether you train fasted or not (as per IF, if you train in them AM it would be fasted)

Depends on day if i train fasted or not and my schedule ( like i stated a few times in there) nothing is ever set in stone, my work schedule and social life is #1.. Training comes #2. i will dictate it around that and how busy i am for the day regarding fasted training or not.

Cals of PWO meal vary, maybe 1000, maybe more, maybe less, i just plug stuff in i want to eat the day before .

Typically pre-workout meal is around 500kcals if i have one, pre-bed is around 1000+, and post-workout the rest eating over 3000 calories now.
