    Is Starting Strength or a split going to build most muscle for 15mnths trainee?

    Ha! You're a classic. You've got plattitudes and sayings coming out your arse when your opinions are being spouted, but as soon as I genuinely disagree with you and argue a point you've got nothing but pointless vehemence. I didn't disagree with you because I enjoy being contrary - I just...

    Is Starting Strength or a split going to build most muscle for 15mnths trainee?

    I don't see that there's a 'Vs' or an 'Against': There's just horses for courses. They're two sides of the same coin, or two different tools to be used for a desired effect. I wouldn't try to put a screw in with a hammer - you might eventually get it in but it wouldn't be the most efficient or...

    Is Starting Strength or a split going to build most muscle for 15mnths trainee?

    That 'everything works'. You're essentially refuting one of the elements of exercise - Specificity. Different methods of training produce different results. I realise you're not an idiot but there is a reason Markos for example trains his clients one way, and a bodybuilding coach trains his...

    Is Starting Strength or a split going to build most muscle for 15mnths trainee?

    I can't agree with this. There's a reason bodybuilders train like bodybuilders and powerlifters train like powerlifters. Different programs produce vastly different results.

    My Myth Diet

    Thanks man but what I mean is i've been playing with meal frequency and size for about 15 years now and i've found that less than 3 (huge) meals a day doesn't work for me. Even 3 is pushing it, 4 is better.

    My Myth Diet

    If this is working for you guys it must be a real time saver! I'd love to do it but i just find i'm hungry again 3 hours after even a breakfast that big.

    Is Starting Strength or a split going to build most muscle for 15mnths trainee?

    Honest opinion? You're big enough and strong enough to move onto a bodybuilding split. It will simply give you the biggest lean mass gains in the shortest amount of time. That doesn't mean stop lifting heavy or stop using compound lifts. You can't suddenly start doing curls and calf raises...

    Help me develop a new routine

    Intensive dynamic stretching and soft tissue release of glutes hips and hammies to work on sciatica. Look up piriformis stretches specifically. Running after resistance if not on separate days. If you're after strength and mass then previously mentioned routines are good choices.

    Hi [you] and welcome to ausbb

    Bahaha that's awesome! So true.

    Cutting and Bulking diet examples please?

    Haha, true, the rum definitely did me in today. If you stick with that diet mate you'll be lean and healthy. It's harder to construct something to meet a specific need, but lean and healthy is easy.

    Cutting and Bulking diet examples please?

    haha, that's true. They're the three different components to any food : Protein / carbs / fats. The only other things are vitamins and minerals. God don't anyone get all specific on me.

    Cutting and Bulking diet examples please?

    Right, so if you're 90 someting kilos at 20% then a lean 88 sounds about right.

    Cutting and Bulking diet examples please?

    Mmm, even if if that was the truth, why? Other than proving a point, would you choose to be unhealthy and lean? I wouldn't support it and I certainly wouldn't start threads encouraging normal people to persue it. I think its a bad outlook. Even if it doesn't affect you now you'll see it in the...

    Biggest Nutrition Myths

    Mmmm. It's easy to simplify these things and for the regular population they're true, but strictly speaking there's a fair bit more depth than that.

    Cutting and Bulking diet examples please?

    But it's not ideal, and you won't retain as much muscle as with a correctly balanced diet. If you want to bulk and train and cut for nothing then sweet, but I'd want to see some muscle mass retained. Not to mention heart and metabolic health.

    Cutting and Bulking diet examples please?

    I've never been a huge fan of fast or slow bulking / cutting diets. They're generally unsustainable psychologically for normal people who arent OCD. Stick with whole foods both ways, and find the simplest method of adding or removing calories: bulking, increase portion sizes and add a glass of...

    Work. You know that thing us non-criminals have to do EVERY FUCKING DAY just to get by? They're already set up with jobs and work in prisons - manual labour like making licence plates. They could make bricks and tiles, as well as any number of things. Those items can then be sold to either...
