Don't believe everything u read

I read watching TV burns more calories than sleeping, so I was going to stay up and watch porn all night to cut up. Just as likely to succeed as what u read I'd say

watching porn would have definatly worked though android :lol: depending on how many reps you went for. lol.

Read recently that its best to delay breakfast for a couple of hours while the body is still burning up those pesky stored carbs/fats. Personally I'm starving as soon as I wake up and eat straight away. Any thought's? cheers

while your in a sympathetic state, you will keep burning fat. there is no need to keep your muscles hungry for that long if you are training for the purpose of building muscle. fasted cardio would be the best option, you can burn alot more fat in a short amount of time.

First feed of the day is midday for me, and that's after training. No problems with it, hit PBs on bench squat and dead this week, and body recomposition is progressing nicely. Sometimes the "broscience" is actually cunningly disguised as "accepted dogma".

A plant is still going to grow if you only water it once every couple of days.

But a hydroponic plant without question grows faster and with more vigor as it has nutrients flowing over it's roots 24/7.

Must be doing something right tho to be happy with your gains, but imagine a bigger stronger you if you didn't fast in the morning

well said Android. progress is progress but speeding that progress up is even better.

A plant grows when the lights are on.

We grow when we are sleeping.

Quite often when we are using hydroponics as a source of nutrition for a plant it would also be getting the added benefit of being under light 18 hours a day instead of your normal say 14 hours outside. So it is getting 4 hours longer a day to grow.

If we were able to (ie ditch the jobs & things like that that keep us up) sleep for 12 hours a day instead of the normal 8 hours a day we aim to get. Would we grow alot better to?

Would like to hear from anyone that has actually done this?

I don't think you can really use simple analogies of plants growing to demonstrate proofs of complex human physiology...just sayin.

There's a fair bit of science coming out supporting this IF bizness.

http://www.leangains.com is an interesting read :)

I was just waiting for someone to take that analogy to heart. Plants aren't trying to lose fat so perhaps it wasn't related to the original point. You also got me if you were thinking plants don't have muscles too...but the constant feeding for growth seemed like to good analogy at the time.

Am hoping www.leangains.com isn't your science article when you say ...There's a fair bit of science coming out supporting this IF bizness and then follow that with the URL to one guys blog. He's lost a lot of fat to look cut in the photo so he's doing something right...do you think he does cardio? limits his food intake? or just IF? I mean if you can lose fat by IF then surely you can get ripped without cardio etc. Whatever else he does though I can't take it away from him, it's working.

Fasting your protein hasn't been high on the research list for the last 100 years or so for bodybuilding, even if a "science article" appeared recently just give it some time in actual research studies before backing it as something that works though. Free Abstracts on the net are worthless.

And despite my doubt in IF I'll respect anyone that finds it works for them but you can't preserve hard-earned muscle by fasting for 12-14 hours...or can you...I do know how it can be done...just don't workout that hard in the gym so your body doesn't need much protein for repair, it's a valid way to lose fat then.

Ignore this reply entirely if you aren't a bodybuilder in the sense that you try and gain and retain muscle size.

IF obviously works for bodyshapers

The guy on there (Berkan) has blog posts relating to the latest research on metabolism etc. I wasn't going for the "look at him, it must work" argument haha. Each to their own anyway, by the size of you Android you have found what works for you, and so have IF people.

If your goals are to put on size them eat good calories, plenty of protein, fats and carbs and lift smart and heavy. Also have a decent restortation program and all will be sweet. It would be good to put up a journal for the forum to critique as well
