Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / Re: My calves.

Why? Great calves can really improve your athletic ability, especially as they are so overlooked nowadays (before they were too emphasized which was wrong as well)

Daaaang, I'm starting to feel fat, nerdy with glasses and ground-bounded. Hey, I AM THAT! Well not really, but not far away.
I always hated programming. And it's silly because I had my first computer at 5 years old in 1990... used to play around "programming" stuff... but it all broke down from me in high school... damn I hated Pascal!

Nutrition & Supplementation / What should be my strategy?
« on: November 07, 2010, 10:45:48 am »
I'm trying to gain strength right now for the next 3-4 months. I'm at ~84 kg right now. Bodyfat % is probably ~15-16%.
What should be my approach in these 3-4 months in terms of eating? Should I eat like a bull everyday regardless if I go to the gym/I consume calories that day or should I just eat a lot in the training days/after training and keep a low calorie, low carb intake in my rest days?
Should I take a protein shake that's 50% protein 50% carbs after my training/in my training days instead of the 90% protein one that I'm taking right now?
Do you think I should aim at re-composition in this 3-4 month period (meaning - trying to build muscle in my training days in terms of nutrition and lose fat in the off days, maybe doing some running, cardio etc)? Or should I go all out into muscle building and forget about cardio and stuff, with the idea of shedding fat later?

So you're saying rise up bilaterally and go down unilaterally. Because otherwise how can you use a weight you can't go up with for more than 1 rep?

Well I don't feel like there's another way... I don't see one. It's not like I'm competing in powerlifting, 3 months should be "enough" for strength training.

If Verk didn't have it, there's like 0% chance of anybody else having it.

Well my plan is to eat a lot and strength train for ~3 months and then start to cut off fat.

Yeah, I'd be terribly disappointed to gain 100 lbs on my squat while packing 32.5 lbs more weight on me. 
I'd be at ~100 kg squatting ~185.

I definitely don't want to cut muscle, I want to cut FAT!

Um... so how do all these apply for me? 
In my book, I don't give a rat's ass if I gain even more fat RIGHT NOW. I will later. The thing is gaining strength and I will work on shedding fat later. That's the idea. Build the muscle. Keep the muscle. Lose the fat. Improve relative strength.

I don't think that's ever been done. Too much info needed for an "unimportant" subject at the planetary level.
