Layne,

what is your opinion of calorie cycling when bulking to stay lean?
ie, high day, med, med,low,high then repeat.

i'm not a big fan of huge fluctuations of carbs/calories from day to day. it doesn't give your metabolism enough time to adapt.

what other info do you need?

like i mean do u think ill get enough protein with 4oz 6 times instead of 5oz at 150lb

are you dieting or bulking?
how old are you?
how many hours per day do you workout?
what is your carb intake?


it's just not that simple

Layne,

As far as back width development goes, do you recommend pullups or pulldowns?

It seems that my body responds much better to using heavy weights in the 6-8 rep range. However, I constantly hear that pullups are superior, but since I can do about 13 reps, I feel I should probably just switch to pulldowns.

i think rach chins are the best of anything i've done

2800.

i was thinking of maybe switching to instead of 5oz 6 times with 1.5cup breakfast/preworkout/postworkout to eating 4oz 6 times with 1cup oatmeal each meal, and maybe 1.5cup at pre/post workout meals

yea i think 4-5 oz is fine

[gainmusclefast]

so you think i could get away with 4oz each meal, my total protein including what i get from oatmeal willl still be over 200

Use a dipping belt with some added weight if you want lower rep chins!

Layne,

I have been adding Whey protein to my Oatmeal in the morning and I heat it up in the Microwave for about a minute. I was wondering if microwaving the Whey might cause it to breakdown?
