Can you still get strong without eating right?

**stedyedy** · 07-30-2002, 11:11 PM

If you workout regulary and dont eat right will you still get strong?
and say if you keep on getting stronger like you can bench press more as you go on and dont eat properly will you still get big or will you just be small be able to bench alot (im an ecto) because if you can bench alot you muscle size should increase but maby not as much as if i were to eat big too?

if your an ecto then your eating is 99% of you game right now

**stedyedy** · 07-30-2002, 11:15 PM

garbage in garbage out

if you eat like crap your not gonna be able to repair your muscles and won't gain mass and hence prolly won't get any stronger

You need calories to rebuild what you tear down, so yes you do

Eat what u want... Ask louis Simmion's.. who was once late for a seminar b/c he got stuck in the drive through at McDonalds. Which then he got to the seminar... ate his burgers and fries... why he talked.. then went and lifted. If u want to know strong louie knows it..he is the only man to squat over 900lbs over the age of 50yrs old.. aslo the only man to bench press 500lbs over teh age of 50yrs old. He has alos broken his backe 3x's. You can also ask Eddy Coan.. 902 deadlift.. 700+bench.. 1,038 squat what he eats and he will tell u.. what he wants. Both of these guys are amoung the massive and top powrlifters in the world.

I remember an over-quoted saying:
"You are what you eat"

**tankus** · 07-31-2002, 11:27 AM

it depends on your genetics. some ppl have to eat/sleep/live to bodybuild jsut to get results, others can smoke joints eat big macs, drink post workout and get 10 times better results. if your an ecto, regardless of weather your into bodybuilding or powerlifting, eat whatevers sanitary if you ask me. im endo-meso, and ate like crap for the first like 8 months i was training, but still kept my bodyfat reletively undercontrol.

* and im not toned

It's all about neuro-muscular system. If you didn't eat enough, you woudn't have enough carbs to supply your muscular system with ATP molecules. Usually strength trainers eat whatever they see. It doesn't matter as long as you're getting calories (energy). Unless you want to keep your physique too...well...

**musclekid2010** · 07-31-2002, 03:00 PM

for about my first 8 months of bodybuilding i ate like crap,i ate junk food like crazy didnt get much protein but i still made awesome gains....but now im eatin extremely healthy and i rarely ever cheat on my diet and so far ive seen decent gains,maybe the first 8 months where mostly beginner gains but in that time i ate like crap

**Rookie** · 07-31-2002, 03:05 PM

If you have a lot of Myostatin in your body, you will not make gains that other low-Myostatin persons would.

**DOC** · 07-31-2002, 03:38 PM

Eat like a mother ****er....an example of how food/weight and strength go hand and hand i just got over the flu where i lost 15lbs i now weigh 175lbs i could only bench 265 for 5 my last chest day back...before i got sick at 190 i could do 315 for 4..15lbs can make a huge huge difference..u must eat all the time and huge amounts..I now know this first hand...If u are an ecto dont even worry about what ur eating as long as ur getting close to 30grams of protien per meal..

**raventaz13** · 07-31-2002, 04:18 PM

if you have a really hard time gaining just eat whatever you can get your hands on...but clean foods are still better.
