I don't think he's advocating one meal a day every day, but if you're in a situation where that was your only option, get the cals in. Otherwise eat as you normally do. I realize that. However, I'm afraid there are a lot of people new to nutrition and training that might NOT realize that. I have seen.. some awfully strange things people do to their body's when they don't have solid information available. | ||

Which is why I piggybacked on what had already been said and just clarified  I don't think there's an argument here. | ||

Have u seen people eating pasta in the locker room before the gym "so they have energy for their workout"? I always giggle inside. | ||

I'm kinda a fan of a spoonful of honey or two as a pre-workout snack. Been years since I really exercised much, but in the Army, I used to keep a bottle in my barracks room so I could down a bit at 5:30 before heading in for PT. No mass to it, decent amount of calories. Kinda like an energy drink without all the scary chemicals. | ||

Not to mention what you would do to your digestion and insulin sensitivity. Dont' do that. http://www.warriordiet.com/content/view/24/35/ dont know if that whole "only 1 meal per day is insane" thing is true. but if you can cite some scientific proof then i'm gonna believe you. | ||

I was lifting about 8 months ago and my shoulder started hurting, it has hurt before that too but I feel the lifting may have made it worse. I'm not always in pain, just some positions when I lift my arm cane cause some pain or discomfort and cause me to change positions. I think it's my rotator cuff but I'm no doctor so I'm not 100%. I've just recently started doing some very light weight lifts for my rotator and they definitely made my shoulder tired like a work out but I'm not certain they were fixing the problem. Also, any idea how long a shoulder injury should take to heal? I'm a pretty lanky guy and I want to start lifting again for some body mass, but I feel like it's not safe to be benching when I know at any moment I might tweak my shoulder and drop the bar on me. | ||

If it's bad enough that you would drop a bar might want to get it looked at... | ||

On the other hand, I was in same situation as you 4 years ago (shoulder discomfort), kept training to get to 100kg bench and all I got was a year without pressing and 2 years without benching. So I would stay back | ||

Does the actual weight of the food not matter in the slightest? | ||

Well done Also, how do you guys do warmup sets? I have been breaking up the difference between my work set and the bar into 4 increments and then do 5 reps at each. Since I explained that shitty, here's what I mean: My work set is going to be at 245 pounds, therefore... 245-45(the bar)=200 pounds 200/4=50 (the increments) And the warmup would look like this: 10x45 5x95 5x145 5x195 Then do my work sets 3x5x245 This a good way to break it up or should I have more and smaller increments as I approach higher weights? | ||

So to warm up for a 200kg deadlift I would do something like this 5x60kg 3x100kg 2x140kg 1x170kg | ||
