If you scroll up a little bit you'll see i already answered you. CCR asked if my lifts had improved and that was my answer to him.


Yeah i'm not loading up on fatty foods and stuff i'm just taking bigger servings of my normal food and eating more often.

Make sure you don't neglect your legs. A lot of men do this by only working out their upper body and eating more. Eventually, they develop good muscles on top and their legs are not changed, resulting in a very funny looking body. Just my opinion . . .

A 40/40/20 split is widely recommended for building muscle, why do you say that's too much protein?

You could maybe bump up the protein to 25 but you really don't need much more than that, your body just isn't going to use it.

Yeah i already read that but i don't understand it. What lifts were 20kgs that are now 35 - 40kg? Is it the total amount combined that you're lifting for all of the exercises?

How could you possibly know that? People can use nutrients differently, more or less than the average.

Just like different people people respond better to different workouts.

Even so, breaking down a diet to percentages of the macro-nutrients is a pain in the A$$ most people will never really hit it spot on.

Eat one gram of protein for each pound of bodyweight and twenty times that number in daily calories. It is simple and easy to keep track of.

The only variables to keep track of are protein, calories, and the quality of the fats and carbohydrates. Like carbs from twinkies are bad, carbs from oatmeals are good.

Yeah i'm working the legs just as hard as the upper body with plenty of squats and deadlifts (and leg presses and stuff when i get to go to the gym) and seeing some good progress.

As in when i started doing weights i was using 20kg on all my exercises and now i'm using 40kg for all my exercises generally apart from i add more for leg press and take a bit off for curls.

Because it's basic nutrition.

Deffinately

You bet

It sure is


There's no such thing as a bad carb.
