Are the number of calories as important as macro goals?? For gaining muscle and keeping low body fat.

Brett, shut up and eat

You won't gain strength/muscle if you're undereating. Focus on one goal. If you start gaining too much fat, then cut back. You keep asking the same questions.

speaking of macros, what are your numbers? ive been on IF for maintenance bc i havent had time to work out like i did over the summer. ive only been tracking proteins and fiber (i know its suppose to be protein/carbs/fat). i made fiber a priority bc i was tired of passing bricks from protein OD

 

[phyzxs]

can anybody recommend me something that i can gain alot of weight off of? im 5'9 n i weigh 135

Grimm, get bck in the grind homie.

Curious, what's youre fiber intake?
My macros on training days: 400g carbs, 180g protein, 50g fat

My macros on resting days: 200g carbs, 180g protein, 100g fat

It's been working lately but it's so DAMN DIFFICULT to get enough food in by the end of the night (using IF).

I think I'm going to take a break from IF 

.

I've really enjoyed it's benefits and I've only recently adapted to it (no hunger bouts). ...but I'm literally dedicating my evening to cramming food in my body to the point where one more bite and I might vomit. 3800 cals is a lot of food in 8 hours eating clean

That dude Akiva inspired the hell out of me cuz he's like 24. I'm definitely bustin' my %%% this winter to get back in form. I definitely want to improve on my vascularity in the pic as well.

How do you improve vascularity?

Mark Rippetoe recommends that, but only if you're working with heavy weights regularly. 'Starting Strength' is probably your best bet.


Brett, make smoothies or shakes. Coconut milk, greek yogurt, fruit, nuts, etc. IF isn't necessary, and it's definitely hard to cram those calories in if you're trying to gain weight. You can work up to it over time, but it's easier to just eat whatever, whenever. Just make sure you enjoy what you do.

Reduction in bodyfat and time. Your skin will get tighter. I think more explosive lifts also help. That's probably joescience though. I use to have that T-Mac vein on my shoulder 

 
I don't know if supps help but they advertise such benefits.

 

[drock2010]

Are Romanian Dead-lifts a lower back exercise or more of a hamstring/glutes exercise?

Should I do them when I do legs or when I do back?

these along with some shoulder exercises are meant to be done with lighter weight

 

[al audi]

really never heard that

always go heavy with the deadlifts

either that or go home.

 

[bijald0331]

^Nah, supposed to go lighter on romanian because that particular exercise puts a lot of stress on the lower back, especially if your form isn't perfect.

 

[al audi]

my bad you said romanian

i always go balls to the wall with DL...........while on this subjest ss just posted a new article about this today

http://www.simplyshredded...%C2%97-the-deadlift.html

 

[addictedtofreshkicks]

So I've been lifting seriously for about a year now but I have a huge question:

I've always worked out Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday but I did every body part every single day. I would do 1-2 exercises for chest, back, bi's, tri's, shoulders, etc. I see results but I'm wondering if I should switch to a routine that includes only 2 body parts each day. Would I be better off doing this or should I stick to what I have been doing?

Yeah last week was the first time doing RDLs I start with only 140 for 4 sets of 10 reps

but I'm doing back today I dont know if I should do it today or when I do legs

 

[nex87]

What do you guys think is better doing cardio b4 you lift or vice-versa..

i try to get 20g of fiber a day. i read somewhere that 25g is ideal, but like you, im just too full to eat. i did try to break from IF one weekend by eating breakfast lunch and dinner at the "usual" times. i swear, after breakfast i was STARVING for lunch and the same happened before dinner time. on IF my hunger is no where at the level of a breakfast, lunch, dinner (which caused me to overeat)

  

 

[slim]

i'm currently 5'9" and 153 lbs. i'm in the gym 3 to 4x a week and i want to get to 160-165. what's the best way for me to do this? in reference to diet..

i like doing cardio for like 10-15 minutes to get loose and ready for lifting

 

[njcollector]

what uuuup brahs, long time no talk!

Well, i've been using intrabolic and it has a funky sensation while in your mouth, noromo, Normal? Or do i have some bootleg version. Kind of like cotton candy, and the powder is weird, tastes good though.

Deadlift at 245 1MR, bulks paying off, but damn i got a frog belly, i'm guessing it's the carbs(bloatage?).

Been off jack3d for a week and a 1/2, and my forearm's size went down like heeeell(maybe it's just me). I'm now convinced jacked has to be laced with cocaine or something, the focus i had from that was amazing; unlike now, i am just waiting to finish that last set.

Oh and...Damn grimm, im 'mirin brah gjdm.

 

[anthony stark]

Is it safe to stack if I'm just getting started working out?
Can I like OD on creatine or some *+!@?

 

[wanksta23]

ran for an hour and 10 mins

at first i went back to my car, but decided to hit up another trail to relieve the stress and clear my mind...feels good

  Yeah, I think its just you.

Edit:

I just looked at the label on jacked. Its creatine, beta alanine, arginine and caffeine?

Well no wonder people think its amazing.
