No Iron for a month before cycle

[Mr.B66]

I wouldn't even consider dropping weight training, i would add cardio and as already stated , get your diet under control!!! I believe your diet is the most important ingredient in a successful physique transformation. If you cant get your diet in order cardio you have little chance of reaching your physique goals!! IMO

The world is full of obese, fat slobs..

Are you suggesting I tell my patients whom are obese fat slobs, that they are "obese fat slobs"? LOL

Actually the more PC approach is to inform those obese fat slobs they "need to lose weight", and to that they reply, but, but, but I've tried and tried Doc. Why I eat nothing all day long and still gain weight, just ask whomever and whomever ROLLS their eyes upon hearing that bullshit, lol!

Ok so where does this take me/us, hey doc you got a PILL! LOL

On the day you plan on retiring I suggest doing exactly this and the only,way to fix this problem is to walk directly into oncoming traffic

Damn dude have a little more consideration for those IN THE CAR

Haha very good come back, shit made me laugh

As one might imagine, patients must grow accustomed to my less than politically correct, polemic sense of humor to remain a patient of mine. Oh and in case your wondering I'm VERY busy, but perhaps that's bc I see quite a few pro-bono, lol!

Seriously though, my favs are BB and lifters bc most are VERY motivated to get well ASAP, (although some push it to hard and fast). It's such a pleasant change of pace compared to some patients who seem to find excuses for not improving or following their prescribed treatment.

You realize with proper diet and training, it's completely possible to burn fat and build muscle, right?

 

[DestinedForGreatness]

We see it all the time on here when a woman joins. Typically the first question is how fast can I lose weight with anavar. They dont like the truth and leave within the day. The world is full of obese, fat slobs. Laziness is a sin in my book.

I agree completely. It usually is women and many of them think that if they lift weights, they will become huge and masculine. People ask for advice and then look elsewhere when that advice isn't what they wanted to hear.

 

[DestinedForGreatness]

Also, as you increase muscle mass, you increase BMR which makes it easier to burn fat. Keep simple carbs low and balance complex carbs around your workout. Keep protein and unsaturated fats high and you will see results.

Why don't you try circuit training weights. I lost shit load of body fat doing this. Obviously diets gotta be under control.

I'd go hour strait no rest entire time. Most unbelievable pump and dripping sweat all over the gym not to mention felt like I'd just ran a marathon. IMHO anytime in the gym you should go 200% pedal to the medal

Hell I've had a decent at best diet sometimes and I can still lose bf training weights. Intensity=results

 

[DestinedForGreatness]

^ I agree

 

[Wunderpus]

For lean gains I use a Lee Priest style - 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 3, 1- increasing weight with each decrease in number of reps. This has been fundamental in my strength and size gains, as well as maintaining leanness. I see no reason to train differently except for large movements like squat, deads, bench etc I do a lot of 10x10 when I'm at a plateau.

Keep in mind, this has worked for me, that doesn't mean it will for you. Our genetics, lifestyles, diets and drug protocols I can assure you are very different. But it is worth a try.

Increasing muscle mass affects RMR to a small degree. It's vastly overstated how muscle burns fat. Also simple and complex carbs have little to do with weight loss as does the timing of them.

It all has to do with your genetics. But if you have more muscle fibers, they will convert more dietary glucose to glycogen storages which allows your body to use more fat for energy. Of course, this is all dependent on genetics, insulin sensitivity and glucose transporter translocation activity. But all of these factors are improved with exercise, esp resistance training

Your body decides what to use for fuel depending on the type of activity performed. Long distance running for example will use oxidative metabolism while high intensity weight lifting will use glycolotic metabolism.

Edit* none of which explains the simple and complex carb issue

 

[DestinedForGreatness]

There is actually conflicting literature on whether glucose transport in skeletal muscle is more a factor of slow twitch or fast twitch fibers. I know, not exactly what you're saying but I thought you might find tht interesting as new have been surfaced

I'm always up to read new and interesting research!

What I also meant before is that by building muscle, there will be more cells to transport glucose when signaled to do so by insulin. So less glucose will be stored as fat and more fat will be burned for fuel. The difference is that resistance training uses intramuscular glycogen and therefore that glycogen must be replaced. The more muscle fibers you have, the more glycogen that must be replaced.

RMR isn't that greatly affected by muscle mass increases for most ppl. and since caloric expenditure isn't increasing that much neither would demands for glucose. Glucose being stored as fat is a myth based on that models and glucose infusion models. Rats process carbs very differently from humans and we don't do IVs of glucose either.

 

[DestinedForGreatness]

Obviously increased muscle mass don't do a damn thing if you don't work those muscles. But as muscle mass increases and resistance training continues, RMR will noticeably improve. Actually, rats metabolize and transport glucose very similar to humans, this is why they are used in studies related to humans. Where did you learn that glucose being stored as fat is a myth? This has been proven in peer-reviewed research articles using both human clinical trials as well as rat models.
