The one about not bulking/cutting?
Ive explained it in the other thread, but no one really needs to do those 2 phases. It puts a lot of stress on your body and doesnt make sense that someone who is underweight purposely goes overweight only to try and drop back down to a lower weight. Its just bad logic. If youre overwight and want to be at a certain number, drop the weight. If youre underweight and want to be at a certain number, attempt to gain weight but dont go past where you want to be.
B/C phases train your brain into poor nutritional habits and will screw up your resting metabolic rate.
I think Durden may prefer the other method, 'eat as if you were'. Meaning if you want to be 170 lbs at 12% body fat...eat like you were 170 lbs at 12% body fat. (Obviously work out too).
Basically.
This,
I have read that muscle fiber confusion is maximum in efficiency.
Guidos hit the gym 5 days a week to do bench press. Whereas doing pectoral presses (be it incline dumbell, incline barbell, barbell, dumbell, etc) every third day is best.
Muscle confusion doesnt imply haphazardness.
I guess I should reconsider this "bulk/cut" process I plan to undergo. For me, I just think it makes more sense to be eating more right now since it's winter and I also probably won't be doing much cardio/running. I guess I'll just eat as much as my goal. 180 at 12-15% BF. I think I'm 185 at anywhere between 20-28% BF right now
With that said, does anybody have a calorie calculator that takes into account BMI? None of the ones I've googled have that. And According to most BMI calculators I'm obese?
Edit: And iMixedi, that's really impressive, so that took you only about 6 months to put on that much?
Nah man, I've been lifting for about 8-9 months. The past 3-4 months however, I've been hitting it hard. I'd be lying if I told you Ihave a proper diet. The only thing I don't eat is fast food, but everything else is fair game. I do tend to eat more on the healthier side though.
If you want me to get more detailed with what I do, let me know.
