This is a dead giveaway that Martin Berkhan would be a TL lurker or poster . From leangains: But I find the debates on strategy and race imbalances fascinating. It's funny how hotly debated some issues are - and you'll find many similarities with the fitness and diet community. For example, just like the "low carb/metabolic advantage" discussion stirs up a lot of emotions, similar strong and polarizing opinions are seen in the threads that deal with questions related to whether the match-ups between races are imbalanced (there are three races to choose from in the game - some people think Terran vs Zerg is “imbalanced” right now, some don't, etc.). I'll also watch YouTube-videos of programmers playing for hours. And I finally understand why you'll have sports fans that rarely practice the sport themselves being the most hardcore sports fans out there... I rarely find time to play, but I'm crazy for watching others play :D Lim Yo-Hwan AKA "Boxer" AKA The Emperor is my hero. Will he be able to make a strong comeback despite his age and shoulder problems? Only time will tell. Follow his progress in this exciting documentary. Can't wait for the next episode. | ||

I'm probably just wording things terribly though because I'm a little drunk at the moment, and I'm a novice so I'm using the wrong terminology. A lot of people worry about gaining a lot of muscle mass. They see Mr. Olympia and the first thing they think is "freakshow." Very few people actually desire to be that size. ...But, to get really large, it takes a lot of things. Look at some of the bigger people in this thread. Decaf, for example, is a genetic beast who has been training hard for well over a year, eating at a caloric surplus. You don't just pick up a barbell and wake up the next morning with 25" biceps; it's something you eat 8,000 calories a day for and cycle steroids for years to achieve. Basically, nobody puts on large amounts of muscle by accident. You have nothing to worry about. You can get strong without getting huge, and usually getting huge is something that requires a lot of dedication and strategy to achieve. | ||

I'm probably just wording things terribly though because I'm a little drunk at the moment, and I'm a novice so I'm using the wrong terminology. Ok so we will forgive you since you are a novice. The difference between cutting and bulking are really just your diet. Sure, if you're hardcore bulking you won't do any cardio at all and go for PR's every day, and if you're hardcore cutting you'll run every day and won't be able to lift as much as you used to. But when you're at that point, you don't need to ask us any questions about it and you'll just go ahead and do it if you want. If you want to do cardio, fine go ahead- although I think the average person doesn't like slaving away at treadmills like people say you should. You can do SS without any cardio (besides warmup) and focus on your diet and you will see results. You can't gain weight with a caloric deficit, and just changing the kind of food you eat will make a significant impact. Most people burn out on diets because they try to change things too fast; if you're worried about that, take steps. Start by cleaning up your diet and not worrying about overeating, then a couple weeks later start looking at protein/fat/carb ratios, then later counting calories or something along those lines. We will stop being harsh on you once you join us on the dark side  | ||

You have years to go before you can resemble a bodybuilder. What you can do is put on a ton of strength in the next few months via a very basic lifting program like Starting Strength. I've been training for yeeeeaaaaaars and i still wouldn't really consider myself "huge" though some people here might lol. | ||

I wouldn't consider you huge, but that may just be because when I think "huge" I mean almost unrealistic and something I wouldn't want to look like. Too lazy to go look at your vids again but pretty sure you look more like wide-receiver jacked than like running back or stereotypical olympic lifter. | ||

My average would probably be around 1800-2100 calories, consisting mostly of fat. Now my goal is to put on 10lb of muscle and to lose a lot of fat. I'm currently 183lb at 20% bodyfat. I'm 5'10. So should I be aiming for a certain amount of calories? Following the paleo diet I learned to just keep eating until you're not hungry, but I also barely exercised at that time. http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ ![[image loading]](http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/8799/dietv.jpg) I dont eat enough veggies  | ||

Uhhhh.... no. It's decent if you want to be told what to do, but depending on your goals it can range from terrible to ineffective. | ||

no the gym has no squat rack. apparently everyone in shanghai thinks squats are best done in the smith machine. several self proclaimed personal trainers i've talked to say squats are better in the smith machine. sometimes i wonder how we have some of the most elite lifters in the world. | ||

Seems like you're ona semi paleo diet and get most of your meat from milk, ground beef chicken (Heh, me too minus the milk). Regarding soreness, I found these interesting quotes by ripptoe: "Waiting before soreness subsides before doing the next workout is a good way to guarantee that soreness will be produced every time, since the athlete never gets adapted to sufficient workload frequency to stop getting sore" "Soreness, unless it is extreme, is no impediment to training. In fact, many records have been set by sore athletes..."But, in general, if the warm-up returns the movement to its normal range of motion, the workout can be done" The only thing I'll probably change is taking BCAA supplements just to make sure I get the most bang for the buck from these lifts. And maybe using some cold and hot packs to alleviate some of the soreness. ETA: If you're thinking about BCAA supplementation read this: http://www.elitefts.com/documents/bcaa.htm Cordain also has a chart that lists foods high in bcaa in his book "the paleo diet for athletes". | ||

and as that rippetoe quote says, soreness will not prevent you from lifting big (assuming you warm up properly) | ||

highlight quote Today was just plain disgustingly hard. Like sickening. AM: Snatch- up to 140kg Snatch- up to 141kg Snatch with Pause at Knee (3 sets of 2): 120, 120, 125kg Clean and Jerk- up to 170kg PM: Snatch- up to 140kg Snatch- up to 140kg,143x1,146x1, 120kgx3 Cleans- up to 165kg, 150kgx3x2 Squats- up to 205kgx3, 190x5, 195x2x5 Night: Snatch- up to 140kgx1 Omgsh I attempted over a 140 snatch 30+ times today!! haha wooowwwww to say I Am exhausted is like the understatement of the century. But dang 150kg snatch is right around the corner... I almost feel like I just got hit by a semi...then dragged for like 6 miles, then beaten with a baseball bat, then chinese tickle tortured, then tickled for an hour, then punched in the back by Mike Tyson for 10 minutes, then kicked in the legs by George St. Pierre. OH, then mentally it's like being kicked in the head by Anderson Silva. Well, at least that's about how mentally sharp I Feel right now. Straight ballin today haha! | ||
