Which is better?

i.e. sandwich sub is it better to eat the whole thing at the same time or to cut it in half and eat a half now, then a half 3 hours later for example.

2nd option but 1st option wont kill

You might learn to control your cravings better if you eat halves.

Zero carbs?

Zero carbs?

I cant seem to find anything on zero carbs on offtopic because of the millions of threads returned when searching for zero carbs and google doesnt return much either. Going to do a zero carb diet for 3 weeks, mostly protein and some clean fat. After 3 weeks go up to 5g for a week then 10g for a week etc. Anyone ever done an absolute 0 carbs per day diet? like only chicken, egg whites, tuna, pure protein shake in water, and a few select cheeses, etc.?

Wouldn't that like kill your energy? I get tons of energy from my morning protein shake, but I figured carbs would load you up on energy.

I use it all the time when competeing, what do you look like? How much muscle you got, zero carbs isnt for normal everyday gym people. You will piss through muscle like water, unless your really fat

0 carbs for 3 weeks? you're going to last a few days then give up. you will feel like complete shit. why not just go on a normal diet?

jonno 0 carbs for 3 weeks? you're going to last a few days then give up. you will feel like complete shit. why not just go on a normal diet? Does 0 carbs make you lose a lot of energy?

6'1.5" about and 214lb. i'd say about 12-14%BF. i've dieted before, 800 - 1200 cals a day like 10 - 15g of carbs and about 5 - 10g of fat. with one cheat day a week for like 5 weeks before and went from 18% to 12% bf. i know what its like to have no energy and have to struggle through the day because of a hardcore diet. damn i thought the good thing about zero carb was that you wouldnt lose lots of fat.

ib4hesays"dontdoit"

look up my diet, I posted i a few days ago, get an idea from that

thats not too low carb though. i swear i've read in many places theres benefits to low carb or zero carb diets, i could make my own diet fine and do high carb, i've done it plenty, but im interested in zero carb. does anyone have any input on zero carb?

ryazbeck thats not too low carb though. i swear i've read in many places theres benefits to low carb or zero carb diets, i could make my own diet fine and do high carb, i've done it plenty, but im interested in zero carb. does anyone have any input on zero carb? 60 carbs 5 days a week? umm ok good luck

You'll find it extremely difficult to find things that are zero carb. Why would you want to do zero carb?

Davo You'll find it extremely difficult to find things that are zero carb. Why would you want to do zero carb? not really eat boiled chicken with brocolli all day, zero carbs, broc is fiberous doesnt effect you the way rice would

search for ketosis or keto diet

I've gone on near 0 carbs for weeks if not months. I was okay on it or at least I thought so. Though now that I go for a little higher carbs (50-100g) I realize the difference energy wise and in my workouts. Lose weight abit slower but probably maintain more muscle.

so you actually do lose a fair amount of muscle on 0 carb? I bulk really easy. and i've done 2 low cals diets, 800 - 1200 cals one was 5 - 15g carbs a day and i barely lose any muscle. i suppose i could just try it and after 1 week and 2 weeks see how much muscle i've lost. i think i may workout not so hard when im on this diet as well. and there are plenty of 0 carb foods, nothing wrong with eating lots of chicken breast and clean steak, egg whites, and muenster cheese.

KingGargantuan search for ketosis or keto diet this is what made me decide to do 0 carb diet.

Though now that I go for a little higher carbs (50-100g) I realize the difference energy wise and in my workouts. Lose weight abit slower but probably maintain more muscle. wow. i could never go on near 0 carbs for months.

i read some guy's account about how he did 0 carb for 4 months and lost 60 pounds.

ryazbeck i read some guy's account about how he did 0 carb for 4 months and lost 60 pounds. he probably also weighed 300+

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/keto.htm

I don't see the point of zero carbs, especially if you live a fairly active lifestyle. Just eat fewer calories and you'll lose weight.

i like to experiment with different diets and shit, its fun and educational and i like to do it. i posted this thread to get feedback on the idea and i get criticized, and people saying dont do that blah blah NIIICE

ryazbeck i like to experiment with different diets and shit, its fun and educational and i like to do it. i posted this thread to get feedback on the idea and i get criticized, and people saying dont do that blah blah NIIICE Same way here bro. I think 1200 cal is way to low for someone your size though. But commend the attempt in the spirit of experimentation.

ryazbeck i like to experiment with different diets and shit, its fun and educational and i like to do it. i posted this thread to get feedback on the idea and i get criticized, and people saying dont do that blah blah NIIICE If you are experimenting, then why do you need information? At the end of the experiment, you should see the results and be able to deduce whether or not it was a good idea in the first place.

hell yeah 1200 is way too fucking low for me, but i wanted to see how hardcore i could do it. i always try to find the fastest ways to lose fat but i do it kinda sloppy sometimes, like i did that and then just quit the diet cold and went back up to like 3k and barely gained any fat, its weird, my body is weird. i lost hardly ANY muscle at all on my 1200 cal diet either.

I have moved out of the basement

I have moved out of the basement

After an extremely sketchy ten days of discomfort at my usual basement location, the wind has blown my skinny ass to the gym. It was a good 7wks or so of lifting in the basement, but after enough complaints to keep the noise down and constant interruptions from everybody in the house, it became clear that I need to go elsewhere to get better results. I'll post current pics of myself probably tomorrow to see how little I exaggerate. I've gained 20lbs over 7wks standing in front of the fridge and my clothes fit a little better, but I'm still a rake.

superbri007 Did you have a spotter in your basement, I personally would not go as heavy as possible by myself, don't wanna pass out or get pinned, etc. my uncle spots me. he's also going back to lifting after a looong hiatus, but he's being a bitch and won't gym with me.

superbri007 Did you have a spotter in your basement, I personally would not go as heavy as possible by myself, don't wanna pass out or get pinned, etc. and at first, I thought you meant you were living in your basement or are you?

Okay as promised, I found a pic I snapped real quick about a week ago. I have a long way to go.

So how come you just started lifting? Getting in shape for summer?

i like your attitude

Socrates So how come you just started lifting? Getting in shape for summer? when i was 11-13 i used to use those starter weights your parents would give for christmas just to see if they'd be touched. i used to do be heavy into track up until junior in hs, then it was all about booze and pussy. i developed full-blown asthma, and diabetes runs through our family. so instead of becoming like the rest of the old family, i stopped smoking altogether, drinking is minimized to absolute interest (i have little nowadays), and i'm back to being active in sports.

Does taurine have any real effects?

Does taurine have any real effects?

Or is it all psychological. I am to lazy to look up actual studies on the subject.

what did that answer? it's probably all psychological. I've been taking 1000mg for a pretty long time and don't know what it's doing.

you said you were too lazy to look up for studies on it, i gotcha the studies. now read up

to me, doesn't really matter if it's psychological. physiological or psych, if it "works," by all means... when i was a kid, my lil sis was terrified of dogs, so i gave her these little beads and told her they were special and that if she threw them at a dog she was scared of, it would back off... and she stopped getting scared but then again, it would have been pretty bad if she had thrown them at a pitbull and gotten mauled...

nonplus but then again, it would have been pretty bad if she had thrown them at a pitbull and gotten mauled... that thought just popped in my head, dogs don't like shit thrown at them

Elbow Injury

Elbow Injury

So today mid chest and tri workout. I notice a killer pain in my elbow, I had problems with it when I was younger but havent the past 3 years I have been training. What can I do to warm it up/ strech pre work out and exercises to make it stronger.

Well, actually, you should rest it for a week AT LEAST. Make sure you warm up your forearms and upper arms. Then gradually work your self up to what you normally lift. Don't keep reinjurying yourself, that's just dumb.

with your injured elbow, make a straight arm. put your palm up and with your other hand pull your palm down. then do it the oppositte way with your palm down and press down on it with your other hand. i disclocated my elbow years ago, so thats how i know. you definitely didnt disloacte your elbow but at least this stretching will get the blood flowing and warm it up a bit.

Well its a bit hard to say what the injury is with 'I noticed a killer pain', anyway, warm up a bit before, and dont lock your elbows Just a side note, one of the main benefits of warming up, is not to 'get the blood flowing' but rather to increase the viscosity of the synovial fluid in the joint capsule surrounding the elbow joint, allowing more frictionless movement. Synovial fluid viscosity decreases with increases in temperature and joint velocity

happened to me a while ago, i worked through the pain and it went away in a few weeks

Neo95gt sorry next time ill make a drunken post telling you guys my max on reverse curls Have you ever heard of a squat or a deadlift? Granted, I've never heard anybody talk about a deadlift by saying "put up," but in my mind I do think putting up means pushing, pushing could mean squatting.
