all i have to say to achilles is this: there is no sixth metacarpal. unless you have a sixth finger lol.
dibella: youre still in insecure dickface lol. i cant believe youre so defensive to someone on the internet.
OP: dont let this turn you off of this site. theres still a lot of great info on here and some actually helpful people. some of the assholes are helpful too. just depends on if they actually have something helpful to say or theyre just insecure. and you can almost always avoid stuff like this if you first ask yourself if eating more or sleeping more might solve youre problems. dont even bother asking if that will solve your problems because 90% of the advice on here is of the “squats and milk” variety. not that that isnt great advice, its just very basic and general.[/quote]
I just figured he meant one of the middle ones. I wasn’t going to call him out on that too. And everyone in the argument was being defensive to some extent.

Doctor said I never would be able to touch a weight again. Your doctor probably said you’ll be good as new in 4 weeks. You’re such a badass! Sorry members of T-Nation if the truth hurts. Real sorry. I hoped nobody would be butthurt for asking OP to provide a video, but I guessed wrong.
I’ll be like achilles now. All nice and informative.
OP: Start increasing calorie intake progressively. Increase the weight and decrease rep ranges. Don’t do cardio like sprinting just yet if you plan on bulking up. 1.5 x BW for protein and approx. 3.5-4.5k calories a day if you can manage intake like that on your budget (It’s expensive to eat well and frequently). Increase rest periods. Stay out of the target heart range in between lifts if you can. Train harder than you have the day before. Enjoy your gains. [/quote]

oh lawd
but isnt sprinting proven to not affect muscle gains like regular cardio in terms of muscle loss?
i mean, just look at all sprinters out there 
inb4 shitstorm
I don’t think anyone is disputing the value of sprints. What you said is generally true. What we are saying is that you need to do a lot less sprinting and a lot more lifting and eating. I went from 160 to 205 doing cardio about once a week for 20 minutes and for 5 minutes before each session as a warmup. It kept the fat in check (I went from 10% to 14% BF but gained 45 lbs) without really taking much away from my gains. I did the cardio on an “off” day, giving my CNS time to recover from the heavy lifting day prior. I usually do interval training when I do it too (alternating between running, rowing, elliptical-ing, stair stepping, etc). Sometimes I would do 7 minutes on 3 different machines just for variety. It’s enough to tire you without requiring a tremendous amount of CNS commitment. Hope that makes sense.
