I'd rather do those than running deadlifts and 10 foot depth jumps

« on: July 16, 2012, 01:36:48 pm »Nah even 3wks wrks.QuoteThirteen adult females and two males were overfed a total of 79-159 MJ (19,000-38,000 kcal) during a 3-week period at the Clinical Research Center, Rochester. The average energy cost of the weight gain was 28 kJ (6.7 kcal)/g, and about half the gain consisted of lean body mass (LBM) as estimated by 40K counting.

Muscle =/= LBM. Try again. If I have a ridiculous amount of carbs and sodium and dense foods and drink a lot of water and never go the bathroom I can increase my LBM by 15 pounds in a day. Does that mean anything? No.

« on: July 16, 2012, 09:25:29 am »I don't see why you think eating 5000 calories as opposed to 4000 calories will put on more muscle. It doesn't work that way. I am searching for the "studies" but anyone with any knowledge of protein synthesis and muscle hypertrophy should understand this. Your body doesn't "store" calories as muscle, it stores them as fat.
I dunno about studies but when you look at extremely obese people, they might weigh upward of 400 pounds. At that stage, you know while they are very fat, they're also carrying more LBM than the average person. To move 400 pounds from one point to another, takes muscles, and someone obese is actually carrying a fair bit of that stuff.
That happens overtime. Nobody goes from 150 pounds to 400 pounds in a few months, and if they did, they'd have issues walking.

I didn't say only gain 2 pounds a month in the beginning stages. I said you can gain 2 pounds of muscle. Muscle =/= LBM and Fat
And I think Natural Bodybuilders are a good example because Rippetoe acts like it is so easy to get the fat off after you bulk up. That's just not true. It's really hard to cut that much weight (especially when you gain 25-40 pounds of fat in your bulk like Rippetoe is suggesting)and not lose a lot of muscle.

I don't think you realize how much muscle tissue 2 pounds is. Along with that 2 pounds you're holding .8 pounds more glycogen and 1-3 pounds more water. This is without any fat. That's a ridiculous amount of weight gain when you think about it. Over your time lifting you're not going to put more than 30-40 pounds of MUSCLE on unless you're on steroids. Powerlifters and Bodybuilders are all on steroids and this seems to influence people to think you can gain ridiculous amounts. Look at any natural bodybuilder (ones that are actually natural, not ones that compete in natural bodybuilding), and you'll see they aren't really THAT big.
And I agree beginners eat too little, but they don't need to get fat to get strong like you said. They don't even need to lose their abs which Rippetoe seems to think is ridiculous.

« on: July 14, 2012, 04:13:12 pm »Quote from: denisbeck on P&BLet me get this straight. Rip punted to a guy who knows his shit, but you got no suitable response. Feeling rejected and dejected, you came here. Rest assured my friend you came to the right place. We're the best of the best. A virtual cornucopia of training knowledges, especially me. I'm real good. The best. How do you think these other guy's got good? That's right, they listened to me. And if you was smart, you'd listen to me too. What I am going to say may come off as crass, but you've got broad shoulders and you're gonna take it and like it. Got that? Good.
The Texas Method is for REAL men who want to get BIG and STRONG. It is not for Fancy Boys who are worried about body fat, or their waist size. You wanna be a Metro Sexual, go buy a head band, leotards, Heavy Hands and GTFO. We're real men here, that's right, that's what I said. Look your 6'-1" and 265lb, with what I would term marginal strength at best. I myself started out at 4'-7" and weighed 110 soaking wet. Rode linear progression straight up, did GOMAD and ate like a fucking pig. My life consisted of lifting, eating, shitting and an occasional charity hummer that was thrown my way by some bimbo who wanted to see what type of weapon I was sportin', if you know what I mean. Anyway's, when linear progression ended, I was 4'-6" and 270lb. I lost an inch from spinal compression due to the 500lb squats I was performing for reps. But all that mattered was I was getting BIG and lifting BIG. Yeah I'm short, but I don't take no shit from nobody. You know what I'm saying tough guy? Anyways, then I started Texas Method, which was intense. I ate even more for fear of not recovering from the grueling workouts. I was eating close to 10k calories. I couldn't even sleep at this point because all I was doin' was shitting during the night. Then while I was up I got hungry, so I woke my hoochie momma up and made her cook me a meal to get more calories. Yeah she bitched sometimes, but I told her if she ever wanted me to deliver the goods, she better get her ass otta bed. That lit a fire under her ass let me tell you. Hehe. She knows what a prize she's got in me. Anyways, then I'd hit the gym and the cycle would repeat itself. What I didn't do was prance around like panty waist and worry about getting fat, wondering how many grams of protein I was getting', or what type of carbs I was ingesting. I just wanted to get BIG and STRONG. I used TM for approximately 2 years. At the end of it I was 4'-5 1/4" and 332lb, squating 7 bills and benching a little over 5 wheels. Deadlifts were quasi partials due to my height, but I still managed to pull in the high 7's. You have a problem with me only being able to do partials? I didn't think so. Most importantly I was BIG and STRONG. So if I was you, this is what I'd do. Train hard, there's no such thing as overtraining, only under eating. If all the food binds you up, laxative suppositories are your friend. Now pull yourself up by your thong and GET OUT THERE and TRAIN and EAT - TOUGH GUY!
lol'd irl
You're just a pretty boy metrosexual

^^^ That guy is most likely on steroids too
I'm fine with being a "fancy boy". I also Bench Press (although my bench is decreasing a little on this cut. losing weight seems to kill my presses) and Deadlift more than you (Your squat blows mine away), while having numerous roadblocks and surgeries, so I think I'm doing just fine with getting strong. You should take some notes from me.
My issue with Ripppetoe is he's delusional about how fat his clients are getting and how little muscle they actually are putting on. You're not gaining 35 pounds of muscle in 3-4 months no matter how much fat you put on. You probably can't even do that with any amount of steroids. Science would say the maximum amount of muscle (not lbm) someone can put on naturally in month is 2 pounds, and that's at a relatively novice stage and good genetics. I agree with eating big, but for naturals once you're getting more than 4000-4500 calories you're at a point of diminishing returns.
And after my "roadblock", I put a little more thought into my health (although not really related) instead of worrying what some fat 60 year old man from Texas thinks. It's not healthy to be that fat. Period
No Silly Bullshit
I use too many parentheses.

Both will probably cause/aggravate knee problems if anything.

Because they don't know any better and the coaches don't correct them because crossfit is all about getting a high amount of reps in a period of time.
