I'm usually ok with most stuff but I've found oatmeal does exactly what you're describing personally. No grains whatsoever. Getting most of my carbs through greens and a bit of yogurt/cottage cheese and the occasional sweet potato. This is all stuff I've been eating the last three months, though (just in addition to junk food on the regular). | ||

There is one exception to this is and that is for total beginners, called nooby gains, where it is possible to lose fat and gain muscle at the same time for a certain period (how long depends on the person)** **If you suffer from injuries, please please please consult your doctor if you are able to go on a weight training program** Once you get past nooby gains, you must focus on either building muscle (bulk) or cutting fat (cut). Typically when you bulk, a bit of fat sneaks on as well, which is unavoidable. The other way around is true too! When you cut, a bit of muscle typically goes down with the fat as well. However protein mostly helps reduce the fat gain, or muscle loss in both cases. Anyone feel like taking a swing at G3CKO? | ||

Sure! Bulk and cut cycles are muscle mag broscience, completely unnecessary if you diet properly and exercise properly. Assuming your goal is to gain muscle, you said this: " Typically when you bulk, a bit of fat sneaks on as well, which is unavoidable. " However, it IS avoidable! The reason any fat sneaks in is because you're overeating. Your caloric intake is beyond that which your body needs to gain muscle at the level you're training at, so you put on fat. That's what fat is: stored excess calories. When you do a "cut", you eat at or below maintenance level (the level needed to maintain your weight) and exercise as well, to burn fat. However, once you've reached the fat level you're happy with, you don't need to keep cutting. You can start to eat at slightly above maintenance level (perhaps only 100-200 calories over per day) and work hard at the gym. You won't put on any fat, and you will put on muscle and strength. Not only that, but you'll look great all year round, instead of just during the end of your cut! | ||

Unless you are interested in steroids. Then you can cut fat while adding muscle no problem. | ||

We don't need to muddy the waters any more for the people that blog was aimed at or give them the idea that a healthy lifestyle requires cycling like that. | ||

I just think I should give it a break for a week. I don't know, that tissue connecting my pelvis and thigh just feels so weird. I guess I should work on my mobility. I do not understand what a sensible groin is (lol), but taking a week off is never the answer to mild pain Today I C&J 92.5kg (PR), need to work on my clean now, I think I can jerk more. Will practice snatches tomorrow, I refuse to be the only person on earth with a 200kg BS that can't snatch 50. | ||

Starting Date: 14/01/01 || Goal Date: 15/01/01 Weight goals -- Don't really know or care. Training goals -- Squat 120kg 5x5 Deadlift 180kg 1x5 OHP 80kg 5x5 Bench Press 100kg 5x5 Train 30 mins HIIT a day. I'm so lazy with cardio. 1 muscle up. Nutrition goals -- 200g protein, 3,000+ calories a day. As a perpetual skinny kid I find it difficult to eat this much. Every day I force feed myself to almost vomitting at breakfast with 900 calories in eggs alone, with vegetables, milk, yogurt, bacon on top of that. My weight has steadily gone up since adopting this practice, and unfortunately my face has gotten a bit fatter but sacrifices have to be made. Sleep goals -- 9 hours a day. Misc/stress goals -- I can't see weight lifting being anything other than a contributor to my stress level. I have a tendency to overwork myself. Just recently I had a job as a postal courier working 12 hours a day, on top of which I worked out for about 1.5 hours a day, and then studied for as many hours as I could before passing out. With commute time factored in I was slowly killing myself through exhaustion. After about 2 months at the job I quit because I ended up being like Day[9] in his story about how he almost died. The problem is that when I truly set myself to doing something, I do it or die trying. | ||

@Birdie, bulking and cutting is not broscience at all. Doing a 200kcal surplus takes fucking forever in my experience, and the experiences of many people before me. If you're a natural lifter worried about fat gain I recommend a 6 week +300-500kcal bulk and then 1-2 weeks of 500-700kcal cut. I made the best gains this way (I gained 30kg in 2 1/2 years and stayed pretty lean during). Furthermore I recommend not speaking in absolutes and/or giving sources when you give advice, at the very least untill you're either bigger or stronger. | ||
