When I had some newbie gains I put on 13ish lbs of muscle in 6 weeks with a loss in body fat%. As a sprinter, the exercises were all heavy resistance, and less volume. So I should have built a considerable amount of actual muscle. I'm interested in your next post then!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05678720294816251435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-5276782183173341742010-12-28T23:52:19.907-08:002010-12-28T23:52:19.907-08:00That's a rare feat in muscle building since it...That's a rare feat in muscle building since it takes time and not some supplement magic to have it but possible.Vega whole food health optimizerhttp://www.nutrawayscanada.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-63110332872971157742010-12-28T13:07:28.328-08:002010-12-28T13:07:28.328-08:00Hi Glenn, thanks.

A low long-term intake of animal protein does not seem to maximize longevity though.Ned Kockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755560885749335053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-72313505500782423752010-12-28T13:06:43.362-08:002010-12-28T13:06:43.362-08:00Hi Mal.

I think a particular type of cycling makes a lot of sense: more “everything” on strength training days (SDs), after the exercise session, and fewer carbs and calories on rest days (RDs). The reason this may work quite well is that strength training provides a stimulus to the body to make protein, much more in the hours immediately after the exercise but remaining for about 36-48 h. <br /> With this type of cycling, on SDs your body ends up synthesizing more protein AND fat due to the extra protein and calories, with glycogen also being replenished. The more “everything” on SDs should also prevent starvation hormonal responses. On RDs your body is still pushing for protein synthesis, but the calorie deficit and low carb consumption leads to more body fat use as fuel. This is a favorable form of nutrient partitioning.<br /> The tough part is to get the amounts right on SDs and RDs. Hunger should be a good guide, at least in theory.Ned Kockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755560885749335053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-60463827939295191182010-12-28T13:03:02.243-08:002010-12-28T13:03:02.243-08:00Hi Nigel.

In this sense the approximation is closer to that of lean body mass gain, for which a maximum of 1.5-2 lbs per month sounds reasonable. For example, muscle glycogen stores increase significantly in response to strength training. So does water storage in muscle. Organ (e.g., liver) mass tends to increase as well.Ned Kockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755560885749335053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-36480362559825363232010-12-28T09:34:21.385-08:002010-12-28T09:34:21.385-08:00Ned,

The anecdotal evidence in the bodybuilding community for substantial protein consumption (1.5 grams per lb of bodyweight, or even more) is, well, overwhelming. I'm interested to see your take on what the clinical research shows in the next post.Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11930619365150891699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-51598296494691078692010-12-28T09:14:02.627-08:002010-12-28T09:14:02.627-08:00Ned have you seen

Maybe its because your body doesnt want you to eat alot of it because your body doesnt need alot of it!<br /><br />Theres also a research paper out there showing that muscle protein synthesis after strength training was already maximised with only 20g ingested, with further ingested protein providing almost no additional benefit.Kindkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841418412425329998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-16647611419187981632010-12-28T08:26:14.966-08:002010-12-28T08:26:14.966-08:00*Dietary protein does not normally become body fat...*Dietary protein does not normally become body fat, but can be used in place of fat as fuel and thus allow more dietary fat to be stored. It leads to an insulin response, which causes less body fat to be released. In this sense, protein has a fat-sparing effect, preventing it from being used to supply the energy needs of the body.*<br /><br />THATS INTERESTING, as if i lower my protein, i lower my weight. does this mean not as much is being shuttled into my fat stores? <br /><br />obviously, i eat a relatively high fat diet, but was eating a LOT of protein as well, and once i dropped down on the lbs of meat a day and upped the carbs and fat, i lost weight. <br /><br />if you eat high protein/mod carb shouldnt it be kept lower fat, just to hormonal necessity? and if you eat high fat, shouldnt carbs/protein be kept to necessity? or maybe cycling them is better?<br /><br />i do wonder... how much of an impact getting your energy through protein would have on a female, and her fertility. seems the 'starvation' response of the female body through protein energy signals infertility and a 'bad time' for reproduction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859456735165996893.post-39480689954446746802010-12-28T08:03:29.476-08:002010-12-28T08:03:29.476-08:00Newbies can gain muscle mass at twice that rate.
