I personally prefer lower protein intakes, especially when dieting, would supplementing with EAA powder reduce my total daily protein requirements for retaining muscle on a cut?

my dominant hand is closed palm. simply do what feels most comfortable. there are multiple factors. 1) stronger grip side is best closed, 2) stronger low-back side is best closed, 3) stronger glute...

my weight was dropping at 2LB/week at a 550-600 cal deficit. 1lb muscle = 500 kcal energy, 1lb fat=3500 kcal energy. 575*7=~4000Kcal. hence if losing 2lbs/week with a net total of 4000kcal deficit...

Yeah a 200-300 kcal deficit has worked without losing strength/muscle. what i was asking above was more am i just screwed from ever getting below 10%.

to describe my set of genetics, i build muscle more easily than most people. but when cutting i cannot lose more than 1/2lb per week without a ton of muscle loss even at a bodyfat of as high as 18%....

your body hates being lean just like mine. i found the way to go is eat a ton of high fiber carbohydrate and sufficient, but not excessive protein, 1-1.3g/lb of lean body mass.
no need to restrict...

I hear commonly it is reccomended that you eat more protien cutting than bulking. however it is unclear whether the logic has to do with sparing muscle or feeling satiated. i find fiber much more...

i was wondering whether it was the higher the better, like is it good to eat 6-8tbsp of dextrose or brown rice syrup post workout? or does sending it that high just cause insulin resistance and no...

it is not possible to 100% avoid fat gain, however you can keep it to a bare minimum by consuming a razor thin caloric surplus of 150-200 calories on the days you train, and eat maintaince calories...

i'm trying to limit fructose, i know sorghum syrup has fructose in it, but does sorghum starch get converted into fructose or just into glucose like other starches?

I am seeking a fructose free sweetener, given i already consume basically the maximum amount of fructose that doesn't cause excessive fat gain from fruit. and want to avoid refined sugar that...

if you consume simple carb pre-workout and its in your bloodstream and not yet in muscles/liver during the workout do your muscles use the carb in bloodstream or muscle glycogen as fuel?

How long after eating fruit do the sugars become liver glycogen? just wondering for if i train in the mourning.

it depends on what you mean by athletic body, if you mean a 24FFMI and 8% BF, then yeah of course drinking will make that not possible, but if you mean a 13% BF and 22FFMI which is still considered...

i agree, espcially since an athletic body doesnt imply reaching your genetic bbuilding potential. while you cant get to some 24-25 FFMI this way or some year round 7% BF, you can get a 22-23 FFMI and...

i once made a similar mistake when i first started and lost up toward 67% muscle on a cut. the way to avoid muscle loss on a cut is to go slower and have a 250-500 calorie deficit. i also found doing...

do you find supplementing with CLA,Glycine and/or BCAA helps stop muscle loss cutting?

. unless most of the 2 hours are spent doing low intensity cardio, that is too much training and it will prevent your gainz.

I have a lot of stifness in lower back, especially on left side. I also notice my right lat is much bigger than the left lat, could this be causing the stiffness?
