Add to it?

Statement: Fact naturals can only synthesis so much muscle in a time period

Truth: All humans have variable rates at which they synthesize muscle and this is an adaptive ability as well. Increased training can increase protein anabolism…meaning synthesis of muscle tissue is not static but changes in rate due to many variables…like age, stress, overall conditioning, sleep, etc…

Statement:Fact only so many calories are needed for this

Truth: The amount of calories needed for this changes as the needs of the body change. It can not be predicted but you can try to feed it when it is most ready to grow.

Statement: Fact eating more adds only bF that will need to be lost unless BF is of no concern

Truth: Combined with intense training, adding muscular body weight even if fat is added could contribute to increased leverage which could increase the weight used for exercises…which alone could lead to more muscle growth. Joint lubrication and stability is also a factor as many notice a decrease in joint integrity with extremely lean body comps.

Hormonal fluctuations associated with age may also allow more muscle to be built from more intake. This is why it is often discussed that even obese people do NOT just gain body fat…they gain fat and muscle tissue…even if that muscle gain is minimal…it comes without training.[/quote]

Plz note I did not finite numbers there just because of this so…not sure what your argument is[/quote]

You did not “finite” numbers?

What are you talking about?

Are you the guy claiming to be in med school?

WTF?[/quote]

Please explain what you don’t understand [/quote]

Dude, your sentence isn’t even correct grammar so I don’t even know what you were trying to say.

None of what you write before was correct. I just showed you that. If you disagree, please disagree point by point.

It seems that once someone challenges you, you tend to give up.[/quote]

Sorry for my iPad skills but I thought your dentist amazing trained super duper reading comprehension would take care of that

You should I was wrong how? I posted no finite numbers so again you are actually supporting my argument.
[/quote]

You don’t actually have an argument! You have a meaningless statement followed by two assumptions with no evidence to back them up. You’ll make a great doctor with that kind of attitude. You don’t even realise you don’t need finite numbers, just a frame of reference.

If you think that protein synthesis occurs at the same rate all the time, you better go read up those textbooks again.

Ideal situation:

New trainer under the age of 25 with above average genetics who does no gain fat easily. For someone like that with a goal of being really big, those insulin responses to food intake will aid more muscle growth. It is only recently that many people seem to act as if insulin spikes should be avoided. They should if you are trying to lose body fat and retain muscle. That is not ideal for gaining the most muscle possible.

You may want to start another thread. I have a feeling this one will be screwed by the same nonsense that has been happening.[/quote]

Good call.[/quote]

Well, I tried creating a new thread but it seems to be in limbo somewhere. If that thread ever gets created, I’ll copy things over.

Unfortunately I don’t represent the ideal situation there with the “under 25 and above average genetics”.

What sort of dietary approach would you suggest for someone who has the genetics of a distance runner and an appetite that self-regulates to 135lbs @ 5’10?[/quote]

It sounds like you are one of those people that will have a hard time putting on weight. Do you find that you can eat whatever you want and you can still see your abs? If you are one of those people, how you should start depends on your lifting experience. If you are a total noob, just make sure you have protein covered for you weight, and eat a little bit more than your current intake, say an extra 300cal. Once you have a solid foundation in Squats, Deads, Military press, Bench, Dips and rows (as in your technique is solid) then its time to push it.

You need to buy a body fat monitor, Train your ass off, and just keep bumping calories till the scale starts to move. If its all fat, back off calories and up the training. Once you know wha your gaining level is, then you have something to work with. I have a feeling you will find the number you need to gain is going to be more than you are used to eating.

Dairy IMO is best for peri-post workout. Yoghurt is actually a great one, just add 500g low fat natural yoghurt to your post workout shake and drink it up. That will spike insulin to a massive exent.

The best foods to maintain glycogen are healthy carb sources. Oats IMO are the best. For some reason oats don’t seem to bloat you or make you gain as much fat. And I am personally of the opinion that you should have a high to moderate carb meal at night, it helps you sleep and night time is when the protein switches kick into overdrive, you don’t want to be dehydrated or carb depleted at that time, and you want insulin shuttling nutrients to the cells that need them.[/quote]

I actually lol’d IRL at the broscience in this post. Holy shit. ahhaha

Ok then. Please articulate what you think is “bro-science” and we’ll see if what you say holds any water.

If you really knew me, you would be pissed off. You are just a casual hater. I am not in my 40’s so LOL at “middle aged”. Also at “out of shape”…because I have damn sure heard the exact opposite lately from most people.

Everything about dairy
your thoughts nutrient timing mattering
oats not making you gain as much fat as other carbs (I could eat poptarts and ice cream and so long as macros are the same it wouldn’t have any effect on body comp)
please define what “protein kicking into overdrive” at night even means

Also you don’t carb deplete/lose muscle glycogen if you don’t have carbs for a few hours.

I can also take my shirt off without a pump and ideal lighting and camera tricks and get complimented on my build. I could care less about being massive and so out of shape I couldn’t do a single bodyweight lunge. I’d be so embarrassed and ashamed of myself I’d probably crawl into a bucket of haggen daas and hibernate for the summer.[/quote]

Hey don’t tell the world about my summer training methods.

So many butthurt fat people on here. Honestly if you can bench 400lbs and squat 500lbs you can lose some weight, its not that hard. Spend 3 months cutting and stop being a fatass- be done with it. Its so much easier to lose a lb of fat than gain a lb of muscle anyway after you’ve been training for a while and makes a bigger difference in how you look.

Been there, was 20lbs overweight and people thought I was getting a lot stronger. Looked like shirt with my shirt off though. Don’t be a marzouk.

No you really didn’t. You added variables and complexity. Which I didn’t. Agree there are variables that affect it again hence why I didn’t use finite statements and made broad ones…your arguments really suck btw. Really not even fun any more [/quote]

But…your “broad statements” make the statement incorrect or implies that you can not change how fast muscle is synthesized.

I just showed you that you can to some degree through very known methods.

Care to explain why you still don’t seem to understand this?..med school guy?.

I love how you through that in at the end every time

My broad statements don’t imply anything. That’s just what you assume they mean. If you are arguing against them you are saying nattys have no limit in protein syntheiss? Constant manipulation of those variables you stated which you missed some, will allow infinite protein synthesis?

If you compare the glycemic index of dairy, with its insulin index, you will find that it is indeed insulinogenic. Its insulin index is double its glycemic index and is, I think, the only food where the difference is that high. There is a shitload of information out there on this.

You can argue with me about nutrient timing till we are both blue in the face, but many people sleep better after carbs. Carbs raise feel good neurotransmitter levels which is why people sleep better.

For reference: High-glycemic-index carbohydrate meals shorten sleep onset - PubMed

My thoughts on oats are my personal opinion. But as a disclaimer, if you think that the food you eat consists soley of the macros and nothing else biologically active, then you are sorely mistaken.

The reason you sleep at night is because your body has evolved to protect the sensitive mechanism of DNA replication from UV light, hence the vast majority of cell differentiation and protein synthesis occur at night. Bro.

If you train at night then you may well be carb depleted before you go to bed. I did not state what you wrote anywhere, but I can see how you could that read into what I wrote.

MG, I replied to your earlier post in the other thread, here’s a direct link to my response:

What kind of training do Sumo wrestlers do regards promoting muscle mass? I dont think they lift weights do they? Just pushing against each other I would imagine. Does this mean that extremely obese people like the kind you see on American tv shows who can barely stand or get out of bed have by dint of eating so much carry more muscle than BBs?
