I can't eat too much so I eat a lot of sugars and stuff and carbs to be on a caloric + while strength training... is that cool?

I mean, I eat protein - eggs, chicken, fish, protein shakes but I also eat cookies and chocolate and stuff like that just to be on a caloric surplus...

I kind of want to gain weight this winter and then in the spring lose the body fat (because I have a lot to lose).

no way man, unnecessary insulin spikes from candy/sugars is just going to put fat on you.. look at how lots of natural BB'rs train, of course they go on their bulks, but the good one's rarely eat junky sugars throughout the day, they keep it to complex carbs and then keep the simple sugars for the PWO shakes etc..

candy/sugars is holding your body composition back for sure, it really screws with your insulin, you end up storing much more fat than if you replace those simple sugars with something healthier, like a glass of milk, some kind of protein mix, etc.

getting your caloric surplus from junk sugars = bad, getting it from complex carbs/protein and fats is better, it really comes down to the insulin spikes and how those in excess end up turning you into a jaba the hut.

peace man

Yes, it's cool. As long as you're getting enough protein and fruits and veggies, it's fine for the surplus to come from cookies and chocolate and other things packed with <gasp!> HFCS. Just monitor yourself and if you're getting too fat, cut back on the sugary stuff some.

LOL, I hadn't even seen adarq's response. Well, if he wants to fight, we can fight. I should perhaps moderate my comment by saying that I'm not advocating for the ENTIRE surplus to come from junk food. But it's not going to kill him to get some of the surplus from it, especially if he's having a hard time eating enough to reach a surplus at all.

adarq, are u ever gonna start doing more traditional strength work again?  IE barbell squats, BSS/lunges, GHR, Reverse hypers etc etc?  Could definitely put you "over the top" in terms of VJ perhaps..

also quick question, for todays workout,

For ( REACTIVE: DEPTH DROP: ~24" to start, 3 x 5 ) you just mean going off 24 inches and sticking the landing right??  whys it reactive??

So sometihng like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoktVIyYCAM

or do you mean a regular depth jump??

I WOULD BEAT LBSS TO A LIVING PULP RIGHT NOW THEN DRINK HIM IN A SMOOTHIE MIXTURE, BUT I AM GOING TO SEE "RED" AND GO GET A CHOCOLATE MOO FROM JAMBA JUICE, THEN GET PHILLY CHEESE STEAKS, SO ILL BE GONE UNTIL LATER TONIGHT. YOU ARE LUCKY LBSS.
