A lot of things make sense when we think about them, or see them written down on paper. But the most important factor is personal experience, even if it flies in the face of "what we know." If...

I don't believe so. I think it has a lot to do on the individual and their training. Heavy, strenuous strength training, or insanely high volume bodybuilding training will require more protein than...

No... you definitely need protein. Though I agree that 1g/lb is probably sufficient for most, you would certainly need more if you were dieting or engaged in strength sports. How much more is an...

Before my injury, my upper legs were hovering around 33 inches, and I had one hell of a time finding jeans that would fit. I'd have to buy them a size larger, sometimes relaxed fit, and wear a belt....

I should have mentioned that I've been on the low carb phase for 7 days now, and since I'm used to low to no carb diets, I've already adapted with very little problem. I'll begin carbing up tomorrow...

If you're just starting out, it's a fair assumption that you're going to grow with just about anything. I wouldn't worry too much about maintaining definition right now; if you take in too little,...

Just have a few beers during your carbup, not during your protein/fat period, and you won't have to worry.

This is my new log for my keto/AD style diet phase I'm beginning. About a year ago, I had a pretty nasty lat tear that kept me away from training, and with dropping motivation I just cruised on my...

Yes, I've heard of others doing the same thing: adding a bit of carbohydrate around training, but lessening their carb load. Usually this is one only for those who can't tolerate low/no carbs during...

Honestly, I have absolutely no cravings with this type of diet. I notice that when I eat carbs, I have cravings for sweets; without them, I couldn't care less.

Muscle loss shouldn't be an issue if you're taking in enough protein and fat. Also, due to the large amounts of eggs and meat you're consuming, it's possible for the body to continue digesting a meal...

You probably don't need anywhere near 100g of high GI carbohydrate, especially if you're using a very low carbohydrate diet. 10-20g will do the job, though I find that, in my case, carbohydrate is...

I'd venture to say that the majority of it is water loss. When you restrict carbohydrate and train, you deplete muscle glycogen which also sheds water at a pretty high rate. A low to no carb diet is...

I've been celibate for seven months now. I've pwned all of you. Bring on November.

Thanks for stating the obvious. I suppose my question would be, what exactly would cause a lat tear while doing bench presses? I've never heard of that particular injury resulting from the movement...

Just my feeble attempt to describe what I felt when the muscle tore.

I've been trying to research this problem for quite a while now, but I'm finding very few results. I thought maybe I could find some help here.

About a year ago I began training for powerlifting,...

My weight has stabilized at 250, down from 260 when I first started this log. I'm just going to "cruise" a bit this week with regard to my diet and maintain my weight. My next phase, I'm looking to...
