I was joking
Yeah I mean, I have no idea where is all this fat coming from, I barely eat 2-3 plates of cookies every day.
Well I'm not taking it personally because there's nothing to take personally. If I were to believe in nutrition I'd be "offended" Raptor is mocking nutrition as well (if I give a damn about Raptor in the first place). I mean, I'm crazy but I can still keep a good grip on things.
My idea with cardio is, first, that I suck hard at cardio and second, I might make the body switch to a more fat burning mode (make it choose fat as a fuel more than carbs). For that to occur, I need to lower the carb intake, lower the sugar intake to raise muscle insulin sensitivity and alter the hormonal response etc etc etc. Hopefully, that will do something.
Sure, this will happen by manipulating NUTRITION, yes, I know, but to count calories and do stuff like that? No sir. Too much for me. I'll eat less, exercise more, take in less carbs, eat less sugar, more protein etc, but never count calories. That would drive me more crazy than I already am.
If I do this, I still should get under 80 kg and lower body fat %.
I DON'T WANT to train at jumping and this weight and bodyfat, my knee overuse will show up very quickly and the injury possibility increases in other areas as well.
I need to get at ~75 kg and then it's time to jump. Even more, I can't really jump anywhere since it's wet/cold outside and I don't have a gym in which to jump.
So it's time to get shredded, get cut, get awesome (or something) and work from there. And for that nutrition is DEFINITELY not going to help alone, I need to burn calories by the way of cardio and intervals.
That's why I want to do MSEM and then cardio just to get the feel of it, and progress in cardio from there.
Do you think that training in different spectrums (pure power & strength and pure conditioning and fat loss) will exclude each other out? MSEM is just a CNS training more than anything, so is doing a few reps of O-lifts or jump squats. And then, if I do interval stuff like swings it shouldn't have too much of a bad effect on power I think.
cutting fat isnt about cardio (which in this case might be a hinderance to your strength training progress) but about nutrition. Get your diet right and you lose fat.
In your case i would just focus on the squat cycle and eat a lot to recover well, be energized and gain some muscle. After that you can focus on fat loss and strength mantainance.
oh right so small breaths when using valsalva methods, and use it for 5rm and below lifts, right?
and if lifts mroe tha n5rm, then jsut breathe normall?
As far as the research question - You're right. There hasn't been much study into their short term effects but the studies that have been done show increased activity of Nitric Oxide Synthase and NADPH oxidase in cell lines. This leads to lesser oxidative stress and greater production of NO which will lead to vasodilation. The importance of this is that post-meal vascular reactivity (tendency from blood vessels to relax or constrict) is a pretty strong predictor of cardiovascular disease later in life. It's been shown that people whose bloodvessels have a greater tendency towards decreased vascular reactivity post meal also have a greater tendency towards getting heart attacks, strokes and infarctions in other parts of their bodies. As most people spend the majority of the day in post-eating state it has pretty big implications when you draw it out in the longterm.
Guys, I've just been offered a PhD scholarship in Nutrition studying the post-prandial effect of Fish Oil fatty acids on vascular health.
In light of this, if anybody has any nutrition questions. Please ask me, i'll do the best to search the literature available to give you a conclusive answer. I'm no expert yet but I know enough to be able to help and this will also help me keep sharp for my PhD.
@adarq Thanks man. I was wondering if you could help me with the starting strength nutrition because my school doesnt have whole milk and the other crap is sweetened 1 or 2% milk.
