I heard someone talking about refeeding on Bodybuilding.com they weren't on KETO or anything just a regular diet I assume? Something about leptin or something to increase fat loss levels?


Ohhhh...

yes, giving yourself a cheat meal or even a cheat day once a week or every 2 weeks is necessary to maintaining proper fat losses and also to ensure that you don't go insane.

Leptin levels are increased when you cheat, and decreased during calorie deficit. When you replenish leptin, your metabolism is more efficient and burns fat more readily.

So basically on a cut, you get a cheat day every 2 weeks or a cheat meal every 1 week

how much money you going to be making per year doing the profession your in Raynor?


It depends on a lot of things, but assuming I am employed by an upstanding hospital and trauma center in a metropolitan area as a trauma surgeon - I would expect around $225,000 / yr starting, with a cap out around $500,000 / yr.

Ever dealt with bodybuilders/big guys that wanted to run a marathon?

I dont consiver my self neither of them, but i am a big guy for marathon id say. I am around 195 pounds, and i want to do something for the society. Id like to run a 42k for a cause like poor kids.
My experience are good but im a bit rusty.
2 years ago I ran a 21km for fun with a bud. 5m15 per km, i was 15. So i am not a super hero but i think im an average runner. My question is what split should i go on while preparing for a marathon? And what my cardio schedule should look like? Should i run 5 time a week or split it with stairs/elleptical/biking to switch thing or focus on running? Id increase my distance by 1KM or 500M everyday i run, good idea?Should i keep squatting heavy so when i run my legs are sore as hell but when the time comes for the marathon ill be fresh and itd bee asy? Thanks raynor!!
E: also for my age i think running a marathon at 200 would be totally badass



Hey there.

Don't overthink this too much. Keep your regular workout routine in place as usual. However you will add additional training for cardio and general running. To do this, try this on for size:


Day 1 - Sprints - Perform as many sprints as possible in a 1 hour period of time. Sprint distance should be approximately 100 meters. (record the number of sprints in an hour)

Day 2 - OFF

Day 3 - Long Distance - Jog at a moderate pace for literally as long as you can until you have to stop and/or walk. (record the distance) take a break and continue running until failure again (record the distance here also)

Day 4 - OFF

Day 5 - Light Jog - You will jog 2 miles at your best possible pace (record this time)

Day 6 - HIIT - Walk for 2 minutes, Jog for 2 minutes, Sprint for 30-45 seconds and repeat (do this process for 1 hour)

Day 7 - OFF


Each week attempt to improve your distances/times/etc. Try with a reasonable figure. Example, if you did 100 sprints in week 1, you can try for 105 sprints in week 2.


Remember to eat enough calories (particularly carbs and protein), drink enough water, and get enough sleep.

hey raynor, quick question

whats your opinion on resistance bands? as opposed to lifting with actual weights


Resistance bands are a good tool (particularly for breakthroughs, stretching, and lengthening muscle), but not good enough to substitute for weights with any man looking to gain substantial muscular gains.

Rest, Ice, Anti-Inflammatory meds are the 3 key factors here.

In addition you can try visiting a chiropractor or sports medicine doctor for shockwave therapy and/or traction and physical therapy.


Furthermore, take at least 4-5 g of vitamin c per day (spread out into 1g doses) and also make sure to eat properly and get enough sleep.

sometimes yes and sometimes no.

About half the time it can be made worse, the other half better. I would keep them stretched out and moving - don't let them just sit, but at the same time don't strain them too much

For biceps you can work on High Cable Curls (looks like you're making a double bicep pose), you also you can do e-z bar 21's (7 reps to the low, 7 reps to the high, and 7 full reps). Also, don't forget to focus on the peak with regular bicep exercises by giving it that extra squeeze at the top.

For triceps, try cable kickbacks and one-arm cable pulldowns and focus a lot on squeezing at the full contraction of each rep.
