All depends on your body... some people recover more quickly from working out that others, others take more time than normal.

Listen to what your body says, it'll tell you.

Definitely. I added muscle for quite a while (over half a year) before hitting my present plateau, and that's probably only because I quit adding weight after hitting all of my weight goals (eh......

Agreed... assuming you know how to plan your diet in the first place, it is near impossible to undo a week's worth of results in a single day.

Of course... I still marvel at the amount of calories...

Palmer's makes a "Firming Butter" with Cocoa Butter, Shea Butter, Elastin, Vitamin E, and Collagen, personal recommendation.

Despite the fact you clearly know nothing of what is necessary to create an anabolic environment (Hint: an overall dietary caloric surplus isn't required...), I suppose I'll respond once.

Unless...

Read your post? Allow me to refer you to my original statement...



FYI, energy is stored as fat, therefore, a person with "more stored energy" has a higher bodyfat %...

There is no set...

More like 1 pound for every 5 pounds of fat... which is far from negligible. Although even with your ridiculously slow 10 to 1 ratio actually someone could eventually end up "huge" if they had alot...

Solving a misconception with another ain't the way to do it.

And the answer to your question is the body uses stored energy to build muscle (fat, glycogen, etc).

Also, what you eat supercedes...

Holy crap =/

Most people can do ridiculous amounts of upper body weight but have weak, chicken legs. You're the opposite :D

Doesn't matter though. Soon enough you'll be benching with the...

You had trouble benching 70 lbs? That's a typo right? You mean 170?

If it's not a typo, by the time you get to benching 170 your upper body should be practically huge lol.

It really depends on how far back into our ancestry you want to reach in order to decide what they ate... if you're talking caveman times, they weren't growing vegetables. The only ones they would...

Your protein intake is pretty high for your weight... especially if you're supposed to be cutting. Unless you're doing some serious working out, you're eating nearly 100 grams of overkill... I'd...

Lol, sounds like we're about the same way and I'm a 300 pounder.

I may be big, but I'm not interested in eating most of the day, and some days I actually won't eat at all (well... I try to force...

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

That is horribly funny.

Um... what? Why are you freaking out about a 2.25lb/week weight loss exactly? That's pretty... average. Muscle loss is definitely minimal at that sort of weight loss speed. For that matter if I...

As for a workout, that largely depends on your condition. Some people get to 400+ and have...

If I were you (and I wish I were, BF% wise anyway lol) I would drop down to 10 or 11% before bulking. But that's only because I guestimate I'd probably be able to keep at least a 4-pack so long as I...

If I recall correctly, the body's primary storage point for water is in your blood. Although your body could store water wherever it needs or wants to, so it could be sitting there, seeing as the...

Ya know... I just really don't understand my body sometimes.

Sometimes I can eat slightly over my dietary usual and completely stall my weight loss.

But what's happened recently is, despite my...

I gotta ask... you didn't tear your ACL did ya?

I'm 6'4, 310 Lbs (Holidays ftw!... prolly 300 no water weight) and I tore my ACL which screwed me as far as my past routine was concerned...
