[usedtabe]

Probably much less than the loads you intake.

He's fucking insane. 585 for 15 reps in under 15 minutes.

[grunchk1n]

[N7]

But can Used fit in any of his old dresses???? Pics.

[usedtabe]

I love BioLayne. Dude is legit beast and smart as shit.

[usedtabe]

He also researched fasting recently and came away with results that stated protein-sparing fasts are good but not completely fasting. That's what Chaos and Pain had been recommending with his predator diet for a while as well. So a month ago I switched from full fasts to only drinking protein shakes until I lifted, then eating and getting my carbs immediately afterwards. The results have been much better to date.

[nmcmahan52]

i anticipate the day i can pull 500 just once, let alone 585 15 times

[usedtabe]

Not really, it's still LeanGains but instead of full fasting I just do protein shakes until I lift. After I lift I eat like I would breaking a fast in LG. Rest days are still the same with little carbs(50-70g) and high fats/proteins. I've lowered calories across the board though as I feel the LG calculator was really overestimating what I needed. I agree with 3700 for a lift day, but not 2700 on a rest day.


Basically Layne's research proved that I should have listened to Chaos and Pain a long time ago about dieting as well as lifting. But I do appreciate LG for making me start counting calories and macro-nutrients.

[nmcmahan52]

there's no way i could last all day fasting then training, my usual time to go lift is around 530-6p looking at the leangains guide though i could do the 2 meal before training plan probably with no issues

[usedtabe]

I've done the 19-23 hour fast to lift later in the evening before. Got tired of it so I started lifting on my lunch break instead. A lot easier.

[nmcmahan52]

the issue i'm having with my diet is actually eating enough, my maintenance calories are around 3100 with the exercise 3 times a week, around 2400 to give me a deficit for about a lb/wk weight loss

if i eat 2000 net a day after exercise it's really surprising, and i drink protein shakes like they're going out of style

[nmcmahan52]

had a total fuckarounditis day yesterday, the wife was going through circuit training on machines and it was an off day, i think i might have convinced her to do barbell training with me though, i did manage to do two back to back widowmakers though so it wasn't a total waste i guess
