People take macros and micros too serious. I've never counted carbs/fats in my life and most normal people don't need to. You only need to do that when your hitting them competitive body builder levels. Just eat protein rich stuff, slow release carbs etc and stay away from over packaged/processed stuff. Also don't eat bare carbs before bed. Throw in a couple shakes and read the bodybuilding sites and you'll get there.

Why shouldn't you eat 'bare' carbs before bed?

The way I see it is. Diet should be the overriding real issue a person should focus on when trying to get a better body composition. Once you have your diet on check and you're not a complete retard in the gym with enough recovery time you should undoubtely grow. I would disagree and say you daily macro intake is quite important to see your progress especially when cutting. If your food levels keep fluctuating day by day it will be pretty hard to track progress to understand if it's water rentention or genuine fat loss.

common sense really, You're eating loads of carbs and not burning them off, will more than likely just be converted to fat for a rainy day

Like i said if you consistently eat a lot of protein and natural unprocessed foods and combine it with exercise, your macros dont matter that much. You will get to a point where you may need to pay more attention to them, but there is no point asking people who train casually/have just started to measure their food intake. Its not realistic.

i eat plenty of the right foods -eg the breakfast shake

from when one of the more common posts in this room is "just getting back into it, the soreness>>>>>" guys on here mostly need focus on getting in the gym and going hard consistently all year round. once theyve been doing that for a while and developed some discipline, a basic level of strength and some actual muscle mass then they can worry about tuning their macros, till then common sense can be used imo

This is the first break I have had from gym in a long while. Honestly think I needed a week off. Think all the early mornings and late nights caught up to me when I was in gym on Monday and felt faint. Back on it come Monday. Feel better getting more sleep than usual.

Cosign Skenkghis Khan. @m12 I agree its unrealistic for the average joe. Dat der balanced diet with two portions of fruit and veggies should be good to go. Although my next cut will be a long slow process with accurate dialed in macros.

What are your guys thoughts on training to failure? The way I see it if you want to see genuine progress I would avoid getting in forced assisted reps. But rather hit my reps/sets I had in mind and try better it the next time I'm there or hit those same rep schemes for two/ three weeks before bumping the weight by 1.2 or 2.5kgs etc... I see forced reps being incredibly taxing on your CNS and hindering the rest of your workout and will take longer to recover. Although training a body part once a week will probably give you enough time to recover. Not totally training to failure is probably optimal to training body parts twice a week that I'm on rite now. Push/pull/legs of repeat I genuine cringe at people doing forced reps it's usually guys that are ego lifting and should lower the god damn weight.

only exercise i go yo failure is pull ups

[Guest Chelsea Jack]

When cutting the keto diet is the way forward, did it when i was like 17-18 and actually on this, all the fat jus flew off. Uni over the last few years fully curtailed my progress cos of the drinking and raving etc, but im slowly gettin there. When i started 2012 i was 16 stone, now im back down to 14.5, want to be at 14stone and then jus focus on gettin strong as f*ck at that weight

1rm bench is 90kg.. which is pathetic considering i was at 100kg when i was 17, but i'll be back on that in no time and by christmas im determined to be on 120kg

deadlift 1rm is 130kg.. i want to be on 150kg by xmas

squats.. i'll be honest i neglected them when i was a younger so im still mastering the form aint too sure what my 1rm is, once i find out i'll set a suitable goal

been goin hard for the last few weeks and lovin it. Imma need gym in my final year of uni cos a healthy body = a healthy mind

only exercise i go yo failure is pull ups and dips
