Intermittent Fasting: Leangains

Hmm, anyone know what Martin’s up to these days? Haven’t heard much, even facebook posts, for over a month I think…

Was wondering the same, not even a tweet. Dude’s in hiding.

Yeah i was following him a while back, then he kind of lost the plot a bit, never been the same since

Maybe he’s finally working on that book of his, or plotting the destruction of those who bastardized his program…

I hope so, been anticipating that book since I discovered his program. Really looking foward to get into more in depth look at leangains and IF.

JJ: The evidence is there (from McMasters University et al) for a protein supplement post workout (and the “window” is actually longer than many think) but it is not necessary to eat directly after a workout.

Leangains is a good method, but more for how and what to eat rather than when. Now, it is a very *convenient *method as it makes mornings, for me, a breeze cause I don’t eat til Noon and I’m sharp during that time. But again, many dietary methods will work equally well because they depend far more on what you eat then when (which is more a preference)

I do not recommend fasted strength training if training truly hard with reps to near failure around 5RM an such. I’ve seen a number of guys just space out that way, which is not good under a squat bar. Then again, some swear by fasted strength training, as seen by several guys here. I’d be careful with it and see how you respond. I prefer the one meal 2 hours before training approach and then eat as desired, so that the 8-hour feeding window begins with the first meal, then a training session, then 2 meals.

Vince_fr is correct about the “skinny fat” syndrome. Doesn’t exist, in my view. What does exist is a near infinite genetic spectrum of bodies that dictates muscular size and how fat is stored, etc. Just eat well, train hard, and rest. Simple but true for everyone.
