How to train while gaining/lose weight, why lean bulking sets you up for failure, and how I gain/lose without counting calories or macros Posted: 15 Jun 2020 04:58 AM PDT Howdy folks, I wanted to share some thoughts on nutrition and get some conversation started. Over the past 11 months, I gained 15lbs of bodyweight in pursuit of a 250lb keg press for a strongman competition that eventually got canceled and then a axle strict press PR of 266lbs. After that was done, I gradually cut away bodyfat, until I ended up at about the same bodyfat as the previous year but 4lbs heavier. From the photos, the emphasis on pressing seemed to pay off in terms of shoulder and trap growth. I did all of the above without ever counting calories or macros, and wanted to share how I go about eating and training to support that. What I'm about to share below comes from a blogpost I wrote, which may make it seem a bit disjointed, but in respect for the "no self-promotion" rules I'm omitting the link to my blog. GAINING WEIGHT I always endeavor to phase in small changes to get results, whether it's training or nutrition, gaining or losing weight. So when it comes to gaining, since I'm not counting calories or macros, rather than try to eat more at eat meal, I simply try to eat more MEALS. You can call them snacks if that makes it easier, but either way, the point is to eat food more often than when you're maintaining weight. Typically the first place I add a meal is between breakfast and lunch. From there, just keep finding places between meals to add food. Since you're keeping your 3 meals the same, this makes measuring effectiveness super simple. If you're not gaining weight, add another meal. Eventually, this DOES get unsustainable, as you can only add so many meals until you're just eating all the time, so when that happens, it's again not a question of eating more OF the food you have at meals (increasing portion sizes), but, instead, adding MORE food TO the meals. The most immediate place to do this is the pre and post training meals. I'll give an example with my post training meal. My day to day post workout shake is already somewhat elaborate, but that's because it gives me things to TAKE AWAY when fat loss comes (will discuss later). But let's take it for what it is: 1 cup of milk, 2 scoops of protein, 1 scoop of PB fit and some whipped cream. Now that I want to add weight, instead of putting that in a shaker, I put it in a bowl and I mix it with 1 cup of breakfast cereal. I'll eat that until I stop gaining weight with it, at which point I'll now throw in 1 cup of oatmeal. Eat that until I don't gain weight with it, and now I add honey. Etc etc. For the pre-workout meal, you can do the exact same thing. Add some honey toast on top of your cereal and milk, or go super dirty and go for Pop-tarts. For your meals that you're already eating, you can start adding to them too as the need arises. And again: you don't have to mess with portion sizes at all: just add different foods. I am a big fan of different meat protein sources in a meal, having a meal of steak and ribs, beef and chicken, pork and turkey, etc etc. Additionally, this could be a time to introduce some less strict protein/fat sources. Add cheese or sour cream, add half an avocado, mix some PB fit onto the food, etc etc. Once again, stupidly simple: we're not changing portion sizes, we're adding more food period. TRAINING FOR GAINING WEIGHT The big thing to keep in mind with how I eat is that eating is ALWAYS there to support training: not the other way around. This means, I don't chase scale weight and I don't aim to always gain weight each week: I train VERY hard when I want to gain weight, and then I eat the way I described above in order to recover from that training. This allows for muscular growth, rather than the infamous "dreamer bulk", where all that was gained is fat. If you're not training hard enough to grow and you're eating like you are, you simply get fat. So how do we ensure we're training hard enough? When you gain weight, you have to make your body fit the program, whereas when you lose weight you make the program fit your body. That means that, when we lose weight, we use autoregulation (will discuss specifically in that section), but for weight gain I like programs with fixed percentages, sets and reps. Specifically programs that have all of that and are TOUGH. The one I always advocate is Jon Andersen's Deep Water program, which I have written of extensively in the past, and that I still maintain to this day as the most effective program I've ever run. I've also seen it transform other lifters, so I know it's not a fluke. The percentage, sets and reps are all fixed on the program, and it's a total ball buster. The ONLY way you will get through it is if you eat big enough to recover from the workouts, and when you do that, you gain muscle. Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 Building the Monolith is another fantastic example. There are very few AMRAP sets in the program, everything else is fixed, and if you work at the top end of all the assistance work, it's a brutal program where, once again, you must eat to recover. Super Squats is yet another fine example of a program where YOU have to change yourself in order to survive the program. I've never run Smolov, but from the people I've heard that actually made it all the way through, eating like it was a job was critical to the success of that. The point here is: don't wing it, and don't run a program that allows you to slack off. PHUL, PHAT, PPL, etc, are all super popular and yet I see a bunch of kids failing to gain muscle on them, and it's most likely because there's too much room to slack off on them if you're so inclined. Those will be effective choices to come down from weight gain and maintain, but when you want to gain muscle, you need something where there's a definite number that MUST be reached and the only way to do it is by eating big enough to recover and get there. It's also worth appreciating that the 4 programs I mentioned (DW, BtM, SS and Smolov) all BUILD to something at the end and have fixed lengths, vs something to be run indefinitely. Having that sort of vector will guide weight gain well. IF, for some reason, you're simply not going to do that, then the approach with diet ALSO works with training: add stuff. Take your root/base program and add in another day of activity (ideally conditioning, but lifting can also work). Once you can recover from that, start adding in the "snacks" by getting some exercises BETWEEN your exercises. This is a great time to bring in super/giant sets if you're not already doing them, as it allows you to add in more work without adding in a whole bunch of time. Going with the whole "snacks" thing, I tend to keep these movements on the smaller side, going for assistance work rather than adding in heavy compound work. And you can keep adding on and on to giant sets. I was running a 4 movement giant set on my press days of some sort of press, bodyweight dips, DB lateral raises and face pulls. A lotta small movements will add up. If you do this right, it's never going to be a question of "am I gaining too much fat", but "am I not eating enough to recover from my training." That's a GOOD position to be in. AN ARGUMENT AGAINST LEAN BULKING Fat loss remains the easiest goal to achieve. For proof of concept, think about how many people brag about losing absurd amounts of weight and contrast that with the amount of people that can brag about building large amounts of muscle. The fact remains that fat is far easier to lose than muscle is to gain. I'll discuss the easy way to lose fat when I discuss fat loss in general, but once we embrace this idea, it demonstrates why the goal of lean bulking is pretty goofy. Endeavoring to remain lean at ALL times is purely some Instagram famous silliness with trainees thinking they need to be photoshoot ready at all times. The truth is, so long as you don't let yourself get wildly out of control with fat growth (which, if you use the above, you will not be able to do), getting to "lean enough for the summer" shape takes weeks rather than months. But beyond that, lean bulking fails because it INHIBITS the trainee from being able to pursue training related goals and, in turn, substantial physical improvement. As I wrote above: nutrition supports training, not the other way around. So when trainees try to take on the approach of lean bulking by only having a small caloric surplus, they grant themselves the ability to only train slightly above their normal ability, if at all. Substantial physical growth comes about as a result of substantial training phases, and without the recovery fuel necessary to pursue these phases, the growth simply isn't going to happen. It means that attempts to lean bulk are attempts at mediocrity, POSSIBLY adding some insignificant amount of muscle by training exactly as hard as one had before and adding a handful of calories on top of it. But you're also going to most likely add a small amount of fat too with that surplus, especially with such lack of training intensity: you're just experiencing such small growth on BOTH ends that you're not observing any real change in either direction. Instead, when one trains hard enough to require a significant surplus to recover, one gets significant results in muscular growth, and can quickly trim away any excess fat before pursuing more growth. Because, in truth, fat loss phases are like a vacation from weight gain phases, for fat loss is FAR easier. I'll explain in that section. LOSING WEIGHT I have upset a LOT of people with the sentiment I'm about to share, but it's the honest truth: fat loss is easy. The reason being is that fat loss is about INactivity. To GAIN weight, we had to keep doing. We had to cook all the meals, EAT all the meals, typically clean up after the meals, do a LOT of training, etc etc. It's a very busy time. For fat loss, what we do is…nothing. It's true: when you do nothing, you lose fat. The real word for that is "starve", but the point remains. To lose fat, all we have to do is NOT eat. What if you get hungry? That's fine: be hungry. Much like with weight gain, it's about phasing things. You don't want to just suddenly cut out EVERYTHING you were doing when you were gaining weight, because what the hell are you going to do when weight loss stalls? Instead, start bringing out the things that you brought in. I do tend to cut the carbs out of the pre/post training meals first, just because they're a quick kill and now I've greatly reduced carbs. After that, you can either eliminate extra meals or the extra food at your meals, but either way it remains the same: phase things out AS NEEDED. If you're losing weight, keep doing what you're doing until it doesn't work, and then try to take away something else. I keep protein high through the process, and will cut fats before I cut protein. Look at leaner protein sources as needed and cut out the stuff that has extra junk associated with it. It's simply a game of patience at this point. The weight comes off as long as you're consistent. It IS worth noting that, for the first couple of weeks, you're actually going to look worse than you were when you started. When you're at the peak of your weight gain, your muscles are full of glycogen and water and look very full. When you start cutting that stuff away, your muscles are going to fall flat yet you won't have lost enough actual weight to see any impact on your midsection of muscular definition, so you're now just a smaller chubby dude, which is a bad look. HOWEVER, if you stay the course, that sorts itself out. Just quit looking at yourself in the mirror so much. TRAINING WHILE LOSING WEIGHT As I wrote in the section on weight gain, with fat loss, we have to make the training match US. It's no secret that food is anabolic and a source of energy, and that when we have a lot of it we can accomplish great things. HOWEVER, we can STILL do great things in a caloric deficit: we just have to be ready to adapt to the days when our energy is low. That means that programs that employ some manner of auto-regulation are key here, while those that employ fixed sets and reps based off percentages aren't going to be idea. 5/3/1 does a fantastic job of accounting for this, either by using anchor programs that allow for AMRAP sets (so it's up to you on that particular day to determine how hard you push) OR programs wherein you can select your training max at the start based off how you are performing. Brian Alsruhe's "Darkhorse Program" has the trainee work up to a max for THAT DAY and then uses that max to determine percentage work. Westside Barbell for Skinny Bastards, despite the name, is about working up to maxes for the day on both the max effort and repetition effort day. The advanced program in Deep Water is perfectly suited for this. There are other programs out there like that as well: seek them out and use them intelligently. The point is, whereas with weight gain we were training to build ourselves up, here we train to express all that strength we build. And as before with weight gain training, things get taken out during weight loss training. We have less calories, so we have less recovery, so we can't do as much. Conditioning workouts can get reduced in terms of intensity, volume, or frequency. Assistance exercises can be trimmed away. Extra training days can vanish, etc. Wait until you need to reduce training before you do: ride it out for as long as you can, but don't hold on longer than you should, as that's going to cause you to burnout. Thankfully, fat loss is a quick process, and once you are where you want to be you can either ride that out or immediately transition back to gaining weight again. submitted by /u/MythicalStrength [link] [comments]

how do you make your workout feel like a more natural part of your routine? Posted: 15 Jun 2020 11:15 PM PDT I struggle with discipline, I can keep up with a solid routine (that's working out some muscle group every day) for about a month or two before I start to lose my focus and eventually stop in favour of other day to day activities, I have the desire to build muscle and work on my cardio, but I don't know if it's just lack of motivation or not having a specific goal in mind, but I just can't seem to hold it any longer than that submitted by /u/meeseekstodie137 [link] [comments]

Are there any health drawbacks to being under 15% bodyfat as a teenager Posted: 16 Jun 2020 03:29 AM PDT I'm 15 years old, going through puberty, am in the noobie gainz period. I'm around 17-18% bodyfat (visible top 2 abs) and I've found that my genetic setpoint is around 18% bodyfat. Is it going to in any way stunt my growth or do anything harmful if I diet down a little bit and try to get a 6 pack? submitted by /u/skrata123 [link] [comments]

Nose breathing in sports. Posted: 16 Jun 2020 02:42 AM PDT I have been told I should try to breathe in through my nose and out through my mouth when I am out of breath. I have been given various reasons for this such as "mouth breathing dries your mouth" and "panting triggers your fight or flight response". Is there any truth to this and should I continue trying to breathe in through my nose and out through my mouth? I find it a struggle to get enough oxygen when I am really gassed. submitted by /u/CharlieJuliettSierra [link] [comments]

Esports player, needs exercises for grip/finger strengthening (tendons) Posted: 16 Jun 2020 03:15 AM PDT Hello guys! I'm in a big struggle. On the last 3-4 months, back on early March, when my country went into quarantine, I was playing on PC heavily. I was playing 12-16 hours a day, almost non-stop. This lead to a injury that started on my middle finger, a mild tingling that evolved to a big pain and then inflammation on the top of my forearm, specifically on my finger flexor tendons. On the last month and a half I've been going to physiotherapy and I'm almost 100% again. The problem is, my doctor told me to go to the gym once I finish with PT and aim for exercises for strengthening the areas I use for playing on PC. Problem is, no gym on quarantine... What I want to know is what exercises should I do to make my fingers/grip stronger so I don't have problems playing again. I won't it start them right way because I'm still treating it, but once I'm done I want to aim for strengthening of this area so I don't have the problem again in the future, this was by far the worst months I've lived through and I don't want it ever again. submitted by /u/viniciusvmt1998 [link] [comments]

1st day of pretty heavy deadlifts after a 3 months break. Groin feels a little heavy/stiff. No pain though Posted: 16 Jun 2020 02:53 AM PDT I guess it's just because I haven't lifted anything over 40-50kg during the break, and I did my sets with 150-160 (pretty close to my standard before). Perfect form. Though after my sets, I felt my groin slightly stiff/heavy. Dunno how to describe it exactly. But I feel no pain at all. Only the wierd sensation. Should I be worried? submitted by /u/T4KeNuS3RnAmE [link] [comments]

Why did I feel sick after today's run? Posted: 15 Jun 2020 11:46 PM PDT I've been running for about 3 months with a couch to 5k app and it has been going well until now, even redid 2 weeks a couple of times just to make sure I was doing alright. I'm near the end of the schedule now, 2 weeks ago I did 3 x 20 minutes, last week was 3 x 22 minutes and now I just did my second of 3 x 25 minute runs and the last couple minutes or so were really hard. The app says sprint for the last 1 minute if you can manage it, for all the 20 and 22 minute runs I could do it but I couldn't today. Then I get home and I just felt sick until I managed to get a cold shower on my body, why? I didn't even feel ill or fatigued after my first run doing 3 sessions of 10 x 90 seconds. I'd have imagined starting running for the first time would have made me feel awful but it didn't. I usually wake up at 5:30 and run then, it's the first thing I do so it's not like running on an empty stomach causes it. Some days I've had to run in the evening because of work and honestly I thought I would have felt sick after those runs because I would have only eaten dinner about 90 minutes or so beforehand. Is my body fatigued in a way I can't feel? I can feel progress as the first time I did a 20 minute run my legs felt like logs but now they feel fine. Should I take a week off or something? Thanks. submitted by /u/iohoj [link] [comments]

Trainer has me confused Posted: 15 Jun 2020 09:13 PM PDT Hey guys first time poster here (16m). I bought a program from overtime athletes and it's a lot of lower rep ranges (4x6 5x5 etc). I have been working out and planned to fo this program starting this week. Anyways I showed it to a trainer at the gym( You get one free session with the trainer) And he told me not to do it without going through a hypertrophy phase(what i've been doing before this) or a muscular endurance phase(what?). He also told me that I needed to fix my butt wink when squatting and my atp. Now I don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated. submitted by /u/Orangewiht [link] [comments]

I'm making a diet/workout plan for my girlfriend and would like some feedback on it. Posted: 15 Jun 2020 10:09 PM PDT Hi everyone, I'm making a fitness plan for my girlfriend and I want to make sure that I'm doing it justice. She's 21, 5'4", and about 155 pounds. She has been really wanting to lose weight for some time now so I sat down with her this evening and decided we would make a specific plan. The deal is that she can make whatever goal she wants, but that she should be realistic, and I will hold her to that goal. If after a week she wants to modify the goal, that is fine, but after that point we are sticking to it. We are sticking strictly to a caloric intake goal as far as nutrition for now, since I want to make sure she stays motivated. I don't want to get too hardcore unless that's what she decides she wants. Her goal is to lose 30 pounds in 183 days. So here's the plan: Five 30 minute jogs per week and 1750 calories per day. If she's ever just not in the mood for a jog, she can get one exception per week. She wants to aim for 1500 calories per day with 1750 being the upper limit. Currently she eats around 1800-2000 calories per day and has a pretty sedentary job. The plan is that I will pick her up from work each day, but that'll come with me bringing her workout clothes and us going on a jog before we go home. Really the goal is just to elevate her heart rate, so if she gets tired we will just keep walking at a brisk pace. Is there anything else we should be taking into account? I've always been a pretty active person, but I don't have much actual knowledge on fitness. Anything you would personally add or change? Just looking for input from some fitness-minded people. Thanks so much! submitted by /u/PM-Me-And-Ill-Sing4U [link] [comments]

What's the difficulty levels on a row machine and on a stationary bike that can simulate the difficulty of waves and biking against wind? Posted: 13 Jun 2020 04:40 AM PDT 10 days ago I joined a gym for the first time. It was awesome running on the treadmill, then I used the stationary bike but my tailbone was hurting like a bitch. Yesterday I used the row machine. The row machine had 15 difficulty levels. I did 2 km in 30 minutes at levels 7 or 8 which was 500 strokes, it was my first time so I know it's nothing great. Would maximum level be the realistic difficulty or keep it at level 10? I know past certain level, they add extra levels on these machines for people who want to go extra hard 100% This row machine was silence and didn't need electricity. It didn't have the difficulty levels on the wheel side going up and down from 1 to 10 like Concept 2 models, it was a control button under the handles from 1 to 15. It may sound like a stupid question, since some machines can have different levels, but I'd like to get a better approximation. edit: thanks for the answers. I will keep it at 5 then and focus on technique. I also workout with 3 hours of sleep to go at hours when gym is empty, so I don't workout with a lot of energy submitted by /u/hostile-exoplanet [link] [comments]
