DING DING DING!So if you eat 5,000 calories a day for a month, you won't gain any weight?
People like to say calories in versus calories out isn't valid for everyone because they don't accurately count their calories.

If you have a fast metabolism with a maintenance level at 5000 calories, eat 5500 and you will gain weight.
Everyone has a maintenance level, you just have to find what it is and either eat above/below it depending on your goal.
No. Guys who only lift but consume fewer calories than they expend will lose weight. Guys who do lots of cardio but consume more calories than they expend will gain weight.Guys who just lift and stay away from cardio will gain weight by doing the calories in vs out, others who are very active outside of just lifting will be tougher for them to gain weight.
for the most part, there shouldnt be any side effects as long as your drinking enough water and eating right. i think the whole point of cycling off a supp is too give the body a break and so that your body rely on it or gets used to it, ie you dont feel the effects anymore.Waddup NT,
I've been spending most of my afternoon at work reading through this thread. THANKS FOR MAKING THE DAY FLY BY! Seems like there a lot of good info posted on here and a lot of people who really care about looking good, but most of all living a healthy life style.
I never lifted weights until I got out of college. One of my coworkers kinda took me in under his wing and got me started. Probably a year into working out consistantly, I purchased my first pre workout supplement (SuperPump). The gains I saw over the next couple of months were pretty insane. I packed on ~15 lbs of mucle and leaned down a lot.The stuff gave me so much energy, I had this hard to describe focus during my sessions, and it gave me more motivation to get to the gym. I have been taking SuperPump everyday that I have worked out over the past 2 years (4-5 times a week). I DO NOT take the full recommended dose of 2 scoops, but instead take a little less than 1 full scoop. I've heard that its recommended to cycle off any preworkout every couple of months. I have been considering taking some time off this stuff, but I feel like its a mental thing.
Has anyone done what I've done and stayed on a preworkout for a long period of time?
Have you guys experienced any side effects from taking a preworkout for a long period of time?
Well duh that's my point. I'm not trying to gain therefore I don't care how many calories I eat.
But at the same time, you don't know what the person does activities wise. I player soccer, basketball, lift, etc ALOT. So even if I eat 5,000 calories, I'm still burning off a lot of calories just by doing what I do in my life. Every person is different is what I'm saying.
Guys who just lift and stay away from cardio will gain weight by doing the calories in vs out, others who are very active outside of just lifting will be tougher for them to gain weight.
What is your daily goal? 5000?Those of you cutting will hate this...but after my breakfast, special shake and chipotle...i have 2389 calories remaining... :]
iLLest!
When it comes to your diet, you want to follow something that you can stick to for a lifetime. Calories in versus calories out. That's all that truly matters at the end of the day if you're trying to lose weight. Trends like intermittent fasting may be fine for a few years when you're in your 20s, but you're not going to be able to carry that out for the rest of your life.What makes you say that?
Dieting is all mental. Eat healthier and eat less. It's easy.
Eh...don't agree with this. I know people at my gym who I'm close with that have been doing IF for years.
The whole "Calories vs Calories out" thing doesn't work for EVERYONE. That's what I try to tell people. Losing weight wise? Sure. But to get comepletly lean, you may have have to resort to another way of eating other than Calories watch. Less carbs maybe? Less times you eat? Who knows. Everybody is different.
Me for example. I can eat whatever calories I want, I won't gain weight or lose weight...As soon as I go 2-3 days with a low amount of carbs, my body truely leans out.
Every single person body is different. Just a thought.
Spot on.How does calories in vs. calories out not work for everyone? Its exclusive to certain people but not others?
What are the "other" ways to eat other than calorie watching? When everything is broken down, it still comes back to calories. I keep saying it, but the absolute fear of carbs in this thread is frightening itself. It has to be the most misunderstood nutrient/aspect of training in the thread.
How does calories in vs. calories out not work for everyone? Its exclusive to certain people but not others?
You also have to consider that your frame of reference is "completely lean" where the majority of people who exercise its simply to lose weight.

I also cant stand when people use the "everybody is different" line. I feel like its such a cop-out.
(By the way, it's "fewer" carbs and "fewer" times you eat. Little things like that bother me... sorry)

For those of you have said they have cut out bread and seen better def in their abs, what is specifically bad about bread as opposed to other carbs?

How is it a cop out? Lol
I respect your knowledge man, I truely do but I know what I'm talking about. I'm around friends who are all different when it comes to there bodies and what they eat.
& I'm not afraid of carbs at all, but like I've said, I know the difference my body makes if I stay away from carbs for 2-3 days and still take in an ******** amount of calories. That's what I mean when everybody is different. I know a dude who literally eats 3-500 carbs a day and he says when he doesn't get in enough fats, he can notice how his body looks differently.
In the end, maybe it does come down to Calories in vs calories out, but you have to understand it may not be the same for everyone. But at the same tiunderstand if the usual person just sticks with the cals in vs cals out, they will see a change in there body. That's all I'm saying
Why? The vast majority of nutrients in an egg are in the yolk (proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins.Change those to egg whites from now on!

Went pretty light.sounds like super overkill. you must not have gone real heavy..

this is some hippie s right here and honestly part of the reason i dont frequent this thread. there's a couple peeps in this thread spreading bad hippie info.
yeah, leg extensions are bad for your knees just like dips are bad for your shoulders, skullcrushers are bad for your elbows deadlifts are bad for your spine, etc. ALL exercises are dangerous if done incorrectly and/or abused. there are no bad exercises. know your body, know your limits and train hard+smart.
