Look up sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar hhpertrophy. Decide which one you want a pick a program to achieve those goals. You can’t have evrything (not at once anyway). I like 5/3/1 myself but it fits perfectly with my goals.

Its just annoying holding it in all day. If i let up and relax for a second people will see my huge gut and I’ve had young girls in the mall laughing at it lol. I swear the rest of my body is really lean, legs are long and muscular now, arms arent huge but definately hardly any fat, shoulders too. I just got a huge bulge in the gut lol. I’m going to commit to this diet for like 10 weeks because I was eating similar to this before with a few cheat meals every week or so, and would probably overdo the calories with all of the pre workout and post workout carb/protein drinks, and probably too many carbs and no cardio, so I’m going to take like 35 g of protein and 30 g of carb pre and post workout to cut back and eat more salad instead of yams.

Lol yeah I think I eat a great diet. I dont eat dairy at all, just some cottage cheese, drink almond milk and water mix for my protein shakes, no sandwitches or bread or nothing like that. I got a boring diet, but gotta lose this gut mayne.

Seriously? you can choose between myofibrillar or sarcoplasmic hypertrophy?
so you really th
Ok, so after the first week of my new diet, I’m down from 228.2 to 224.4 a loss of 3.8 pounds, but my scale is saying lean body mass is down about 2 pounds also. Do you think I should believe the bodyfat percentage information or just pay attention to the weight part. I’m sticking to rippetoes, eating about 2300 calories on off days and 2650 on lifting days maintanence is around 2900-3400 calories, also doing jump rope cardio on off days just starting off on that so I"m doing 5 minutes and adding time as I get better. Really dont want to lose much muscle or strength do you think my calories are at a good level to do this. I’m getting about 300 g of protein,100 g of carbs on lifting days and about 160g on lifting days and about 80 g of fat

4lbs is too much for one week, even if its the first week so I’d up the cals slightly
Does anyone else agree with this? I dont really feel too hungry on this diet, I’m doing it perfect no junk, all good foods. I really want to go from 224 now down to about 195 with no visibile fat before the summer and maintain the muscle
