thanks nikki,

rod, bro I'm doing the best I can. I've only got so many hours in the day, I had not had a chance to look at the question

I think your #s are right on, but I would not go that high with a refeed... 3000 kcal for refeed is fine

Thanks so much Layne,
I've now got it set in stone, 2,200 calories for the cut, with one day of a 3,000 cal refeed.

no hurry on this question, just wondering:


top 3 favorite clean sources of carbs, protein, fat?

Hey Lainie

I don't post here much but I do read this thread and view the Webcast show regularly. Good info in here and it's much appreciated that you take your time to reply!

That 405lbs is probably afraid of you now LOL.


Keep up the good work it doesn't go unnoted!

To show my gratitude I even run a spell check on your name before I posted.

PEACE!

Hey Layne, 2 things.

Chris Aceto says it is best to have no carbs at a post-cardio meal to eliminate the accompanying insulin spikes and its negative effect on fat loss. Comments?

Second thing is, I know you aren't a fan of fasted state cardio. What about either upon waking or post workout, consuming 10g or so of BCAA's and then performing the cardio. Does this change things at all?

[str8flexed]

lol the ol' no carbs around cardio because you want to burn the fat. What a simplistic view of metabolism. If anything it's better to have carbs around cardio... THIS IS THE TIME YOU ARE MOST INSULIN SENSITIVE AND BEST ABLE TO DISPOSE OF CARBS... GLUT-4 is upregulated... other times of the day when you are resting is when you are less able to properly dispose of carbohydrates... so by that logic we should never eat carbs ever.

nonsense

I can testify to that Thank you for finally teaching me to surround my cardio with carbs!

your a freak layne, that front squat is mad bro.

question, there is no such food that actually uses more calories to burn due to digestion than what the food actually contains in calories correct? I've been told by a prof in university that there is no such thing and people seem to think lettuce is a food that can achieve this.

[irvston]

with respect to cardio and carbs Layne. would it differ depending on type of cardio? ie. high intensity would require more carbs compared to ss low intensity not really requiring carbs for the fuel? or is this a bb myth too??

Sam

[str8flexed]

that is true sam

as far as digestion... lettuce hardly has energy in it; but your body does get some from it; albeit very little

hey layne here is a question. for a natural bodybuilder is it rough to work a bodypart 2x a week, and working out 6 days a week ?

if it is not, should the bber hit them bodyparts really hard even if they are x2.
i was thinking:
mon-tue-wed workout
thu- rest
fri-sat-sun workout

is this too much

[Dr House]

hey you are right I didn't realize that.
I should take it to 5 days workout 2 day rest. The best is 4 day workout 3 day rest imho. Yeah i will do that.
