10%? Don't be silly, it's well known that strength training makes you fatter, you build 'powerlifter muscle' around the midsection.

Out of curiosity, do you ever read any threads here that you didn't start? Seriously, did you read anything at Intense Muscle, or did you just go there to post copies of the same threads you made here?

a weak bodybuilder pumping up

If the guy with the best genes in the world (bar none) and on huge amounts of AAS and growth busts his ass with 500lb benches then why do you think you can magically gain muscle training 'for size' with kiddy weights?

Great video, Tweakle....I love the part where they show the 'no chalk' sign and Levrone is chalking the hell out of himself and the bar, lol.

Really, though, JK....bodybuilding and strength training should be no different other than the pre-contest phase in bodybuilding. Guys training for strength shouldn't use that as an excuse to walk around at 37% bodyfat and eat twinkies and drink coca-cola....but guys bodybuilding shouldn't use the typical line of bullshit that they don't want to gain weight and lift heavy and that they are trying to target the inner right ass cheek.....guys who do that fall into the trap of spending 5 years micromanaging every trace element they put in their mouth, and they never gain an ounce of bodyweight and are lucky to add a lb a year to any of their lifts.

well said......


I mentioned to him earler that if you try to achieve TWO goals at once - you usually achieve neither

Tweakle... ridiculous vid!! :cheers:

gotta watch it at home... I snuck in some quick peeks and have no audio here, lol.

It's one big viscious cycle the whole "Bodybuilding Industry" ... mainly the magazines and what they promote. Buy supps, isolate muscles, repeat.... do again with different supp and exercise and you're guaranteed to grow

I saw my trainer last night and he is giving me to cheat meals a week plus upping the cals. He is adding rice cakes and jelly into meals, fig newtons, taking out the pasta, adding in sweet potatoes, more oats and MORE FATS......funny.

I like the way your trainer thinks. You should carry around some protein bars to snack on during the day.
Eat when you're hungry, not when you've got supersized meals to suddenly deal with. You'll eat more, utilize it more efficiently, and probably control much of that bloating.
There's been two threads recently about Mariusz Pudzianowski's eating habits. They wonder why in the world he eats chocolate bars between 2-a-days and for a late night snack, not to mention 3 lbs. of bacon every morning, etc. Of course he exists in a whole different plane of reality but in one sense he's not that different from you. He's also an intense and high-volume trainer. To eat that way Mariusz's metabolism must be naturally overefficient to begin with. He needs caloric dense foods to maintain his mass and his stamina. You, on the other hand, starve yours. That's why you have fat deposits on your abs along with your POW physique. Your body suddenly receives a surplus and decides it needs to store glycogen now because it may never have the chance to ever again. You need to give yourself a break. Let your metabolic system do what it does best- overefficiently process food- but at a rate large enough to sustain growth.
Instead of test, 15-20 grams of pharmaceutical grade fish oil ed will be sufficient to ward off fat accumulation.

you need to eat even when you ARENT hungry

It takes time... can't be overly OCD about everytihng all the time.

Most overlooked part of bodybuilding

 

[ProtienFiend]

JK...as far as 'bodybuilding'....don't be fooled by the pics in the mags, bodybuilders don't hold that condition year-round...

Those guys are also probably, either on cycle or recently off.... and also on a ton of diuretics... not to mention carb, water, and sodium cycling.

You can't agrue both sides of the coin.....

you cant say - I want to gain mass

and then say

I want to stay super lean

it does NOT work that way - gear or not.

Small disagreement. It can work that way.. but it will take a long time and discipline. The bodybuilders of old did this. They maintained lower BF year round so when contest time came they didnt have to diet down too much.

The downside is, it takes a long time to get there. You cant change your diet every 4 weeks (JK). These things take time, especially if you want to keep muscle mass and minimal fat gain. Give yourself 6 months then change plans - really.
