@BenjaminYeezus Likewise, in 30+ years of sports and lifting, and coaching, I have never once had to count veggies for myself or a client. Its the closest we have to a free food, on a higher protein food plan, that also happens to boost health, and body composition outcomes.

@JYKines @Hybridathlete Exactly, no to low impact exercises versus high impact has no clear winner. Because they both serve their own use cases and they are both beneficial and needed. We all need enough but not too much high impact, so do them both 💪💪☕️

@Hybridathlete And doesnt improve CRF unless the person is very deconditioned. It's great for recovery, mental health, and getting in some extra caloric burn, but shouldn't be compared to running. Also, stress on joints is good - provides a stimulus to make them stronger and more resilient.

@Hybridathlete Agreed. Both are needed & should never be pitched against each other, all walk/run slow vs higher effort runs are a false dichotomy, nothing else. Do it all,because all modalities have benefits ( & different costs, like time needed to finish, + less impact is both good & bad ).

@rf121rf @ItIsMikeFitz 100% I have spent 30+ years training very intense. Big explosive weights to RIR 0 and beyond, sprint intervals, martial arts, & team sports at a high level, running et cetera. And I always recover in full almost instantly, and can go another round at 100% again.

CARBS NOT REQUIRED FOR MUSCLE BUILDING? New meta-analysis looking at carbohydrate intake and muscle hypertrophy. When calories and protein are matched, higher carbs did NOT lead to MORE muscle growth. Hypertrophy comes down to mechanical tension, adequate protein, and total calories not necessarily including carbs in the diet! Now before people take that the wrong way, this doesn’t mean carbs are useless. They absolutely help with training performance, volume, and recovery, and that can indirectly drive better results over time. BUT the idea that you need high carbs to BUILD muscle isn’t supported in this study. Also important context here is that most of these studies were on 'untrained to recreational lifters', not advanced bodybuilders pushing high volume... I take this to mean that carbs are a tool, and strategic fuel for gym performance and recovery (faster glycogen replenishment) but not a requirement for actually BUILDING muscle (which I think is actually pretty obvious to anyone who has run low carb diets and trained). link.springer.com/article/10.100…

@ItIsMikeFitz So this study should not surprise or rile up anyone. This is exactly what experience & science has always shown us very clearly. Hypertrophy no, but intense performance & recovery yes ( which in many cases leads to better outcomes over time, just not Hypertrophy ) + health & SPC

@ItIsMikeFitz A zero surprise study to me. As you pointed out. Highly intense training benefit from higher glycogen stores for performance & inter set recovery as well as post workout recovery. + No one should only lift weights, & carbs will fuel that too + fiber for health & SPC benefits.

@mastashredda @Hybridathlete Unless their exercise routine is underwhelming and their deficit is through the roof, of course. But I have never had a obese/overweight client that did not lose a ton of body fat and waist circumference while also building a lot of strength & lean mass in the gym.

@mastashredda @Hybridathlete Obese and overweight people who strength train & eat a higher protein intake do in fact lose body fat and build lean mass during the same cut very frequently. ( read almost always ).

This is a great example of how not to do a bulk. Absolute best case, he added 3-4lb of muscle mass in the past 3 months. And that's only if he was brand new to lifting, program was good, and he was doing everything right. It's much more likely he gained 1-2lb of muscle mass, 1-2lb of water, and 10-12lb of fat. And if he cuts back down now, there will be virtually zero physique change, even if he somehow hit best case scenario and added 3-4lb of muscle mass. 3 month cut/bulk cycles are a very good way to never really make any progress. If you really want to add some size, lift consistently for 1-2 years, without doing any cuts, while eating slightly above maintenance. Then cut down and see what you built.

We did it!!! What a rush!!! Eat a lot of food, lift heavy weights! The road to 180 is complete! The goal was to get to 180 just to push myself to do it. I don’t really want to cut bc I like being huge but I’ll probably cut and see if I get ripped af I guess. On we go!

@09887654321J @ScottAppliedSci @joshuajohn570 Vito gave you a good approach. It will work quite well 💪💪. Another easy approach would be 1.6 to 2.0 g/protein/kg of bodyweight & day. Eat mostly plant-based whole foods rich in fiber,protein & micronutrients. + eggs, fish, & chicken. 3/4 strength days/week. Daily walk/jog.

@joshuajohn570 @ScottAppliedSci Eat too much fat ( excess energy) in total per day & you will perpetually add excess body fat until one day you will have developed T2D. The body doesn't care what the macronutrients behind your excess intake are. Except that protein & fiber-rich carbs equal better outcomes.

@joshuajohn570 @SomerwilTara @ScottAppliedSci You might want to widen your nutritional and health insights Joshua. Theres very little benefit being too narrow-minded when it comes to nutrition and health. And no one said that healthy fat isnt essential. But you can 100% easily overconsume fat.

@StanleyVit7349 @joshuajohn570 @ScottAppliedSci Did I, or anyone else tell you that 180 gram of fat is a surplus intake for you? No, we did not. A. So if you eat ~ 1800 calories per day of fat. B. & dont add excess body fat that simply means that you are C. Low enough/too low on other nutrients & high enough on activity.

@MeTheAngryCat @joshuajohn570 @ScottAppliedSci You can be in a excess energy intake and pack on endless excess body fat and still be nutritionally deficit. Hundreds of millions of people fall into this group. Fat like alcohol are the most energy abundant nutrients. Fat is essential, yes, but you can 100% consume too much.
