HangTheDJ Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Been doing IF for about 4 weeks Had strength gains and I believe it's from not training on a full stomach Bench 110kgx 6 Dips 12 x 25kg Pullups 6x 5kg (weak) DB shoulder press 6x 34kg Deadlift - 6x 130kg (weak) Squat - 150kgx6 Also, I've deciphered PWO is a myth. I wake at 07.00, train about 8-9, eat meal 1 between 2-4pm, fruit inbetween and then a massive meal (usually 500g chicken and 500g sweet potato and then some fats) before bed Bodybuilding is made complicated by elite level performers to sell you shit. Meal frequency, meal timing and  minute macronutrients IMO are a myth Just train for strength 4-8 reps x3 on compound movements, throw in some arm work and eat clean. Ain't even touched protein powder since I've started this, got 7.5kg sitting about in my back room. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Ferguson Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 I agree with lots of what you're saying. I'd make it even easier than that though: Train - Compound exercises (4/5-8 reps) Eat - Calorific surplus. Eating clean is also not necessary, in fact eating clean is an undefined myth. Eat well as much as possible, but the key thing is getting your calories in for the day, so if you need to eat a cake, then you need to eat a cake. Rest - Every other day. Grow - EASY GAME. Yes, you don't need protein powder daily. I only eat it within 2 hours after training (which supposedly maximises synthesis) I'm 87kg aiming for 90kg - started at about 81kg not too long ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HangTheDJ Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Yeah it's probably not ideal when bulking, but when cutting or maintaining it's fine Got loads of fucking free time too. Only prepare food once a day and it's fresh and hot A mad thing (which I don't often get the benefit of on shift work) is the improved focus in the deepest part of your fast. We're conditioned by cereal companies that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Healthcare professionals will tell you this, you must eat breakfast, xxx research shows people who eat breakfast are healthier/fitter/less disease etc. I think it's a myth, after 3 days of IF I've neer felt so energised in the morning. I wake up around 8.30, don't eat until 2pm, have a coffee around 10-11 and I'm just supremely productive and focused. I used to believe all this shit and research, but look at Southeast Asians, some of the healthiest, clear skinned and leanest region in the world. Cup of tea for breakfast and rice for lunch and dinner. A little big of veg and a tiny bit of protein. Granted they're not building muscle but if that's cool for a billion people then why not in the west? It's just sugar companies trying to sell us Rice Krispies and Corn Flakes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mame Biram Diouf Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 @HangTheDJ  Yeah I get agree for the most part  Didn't have breakfast for like 6 months, just coffee or a matcha tea in the morning  Back on breakfast now though to get my meals up, bowl of porridge with matcha tea mixed in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteB Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Ngl it's a decent gym. free weights only go up to 38kg which is ok for me rarely go above that tbh Whoever done the photos and equipment list for my local one done a shit job they missed out the decline bench,  the bench press, squat rack, multiple Olympic bars and Ez bars. All the shit i mentioned is behind the camera and this is the only angle they use smh     Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just sugar companies trying to sell us Rice Krispies and Corn Flakes but thats not because of not eating breakfast. breakfast is important to them.. but milk and super nitrated western food isnt. they eat lots of meat and veg but cook it differently, and lots of seafood. drinking tea and soup as well. 3 days is never enough to now proclaim that breakfast isnt important. its quite common sense that if your body is an engine or a machine, it needs fuel to function efficiently. all these fads or diets are temporary. i can guarantee you that all that weight you lose will come right back once you stop the IF which you will stop eventually. i agree with shocking the body into change as well, which is where IF may play a part, but not as a replacement for what is essential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
