who doesn't know the difference between bulking and cutting?

however these is a healthy medium ..not everyone wants to a body builder or even has the capability of being a bodybuilder..therefore i think cutting and bulking is pretty flawed for the average person imo..you can stay at 15% bodyfat and gain muscle year round

unless you want to or need to be lower than 15...but i dont see the point

if you've been in the picture thread apparently Upa doesn't understand the concept of cutting/bulk.



not gonna bother just go look at all that bullshit arguing in that thread.


i think we can all agree this is a helpful thread for alot of people.

explain i havent been

Under trash I mean fastfood.
Depending on goals we can go more specific, in that case you'd prefer monosaccharides in the morning and after training, polysaccharides elsewhere.
It can be made very specific but I see no reason why a non-competing person should turn eating into rocketscience - it should be a pleasure.
For example, Jari "Bull" Mentula takes eating as a job, bikers eating up to 9000kcal/day also lack the enjoyment of it. Strict dieting is hard and exhausting.

I'm not a micronutrients praising type of person either.
A competing athlete usually takes multivitamins/minerals and/or eat's respectively and has some basic knowledge in the field.
A casual athlete might also be doing this or that but as it's not the primary goal he will be fine without hitting 100% GDA on every single chemical on earth.
While one should get enough they shouldn't be too focused on those.

many do not. the thread isnt merely to explain the difference, it is a guide on HOW TO.

depends on your goals, if thats the way you feel about it thats fine man...this is just a guide for others on how to effectively do both



haha this thread def. aint for him...found myself talking to a couple of people recently about it and I didnt want to go so thorough in a single post. So I thought I'd make this topic



thanks man

You couldn't eat dog food and cut correctly.

You couldn't eat purely pasta and cut correctly.

Cutting is highly based on a correct macro.

not just calories in/out.

Ah the age old argument about brotein.

many seem to respect your information on these forums so why not add your 2 cents on the subject

There's been "studies" and counter studies and articles and whatnot and from my own personal research (assuming we put aside the fact that every fucking big dude eats alot of protein), the most recent stand point on this is that 1.5g/lbs of bodyweight is enough (as long as you're not really fat). There is also no given (or proven) limit of quantity of protein per meal. So while fast absorbing or slow digesting protein still make differences when taken post workout or before bed, there's nothing wrong with eating 100 grams of protein in the morning. It'll take longer to break down, yes, but assuming your body needs it, it'll digest all of it.

A surplus of protein is alot less likely to turn into fat than carbs, especially if the diet is low on carb since the proteins will be used as the fuel source. When proteins are the primary fuel source, they're used to repair muscles AND give energy to the body, so using more isn't "wrong" at all.

your diet must be atleast 95% Protein. 1000g of protein a day minimum or you'll never be a bodybuilder like me
