Dream… this is fucking awesome shit. I love finding people around my age thinking outside-the-box even when it really isnt so “outside-the-box”. Everyone is always so scared shitless that they can’t question the bs information out there and do their own research and use their own “instincts” (not common sense but natural instincts). Just props to you Anthony. If you ever come to Dallas let me know.

The case for fasted training is strong, but the argument is not as on-sided as you make it out to be. Martin Beckham’s (Leangains) recent posts on peri-workout nutrition have been eye-openers, but even he says, “Remember, it is still not known if the net effect of fasted state training will lead to more favorable results in the long run.”

On stage? They are dehydrated out the wazoo, period. Most have crap diets too.

thanks for commenting, it’s the best way to show some love! =)

I figured the meat/eggs approach would be the way to go, I am curious as to how those bodybuilders get such freaky levels of definition, its one thing to have low body fat but these guys have real freaky striations. Is this from the dehydration/ diuretics? fat burning supp’s? I am completely lost when trying to wrap my mind around how a guy can be at 5’9 275lbs and I can see low back striations and rib cage separation. Please shed some light on this if you could

Thanks Alot- love this blog!!

I would consider increasing my frequency to a strict once a week WOW*, rather than a 7-15 day recovery period to help preserve muscle while eating less. My diet would consist of only meat and eggs, and nothing else (it’s pretty close right now as it is, but not 100%). The meat would be mostly grass fed lamb and other red meats, and maybe some medium boiled eggs.

*My workouts are almost always full body, and would definitely be in this case.

Hey dream

I was wondering how you’re approach to exercise and nutrition would change if you were preparing for a bodybuilding show. assuming it was a natural competition meaning you would be tested for banned substances. Would you start doing a “standard” 3-5 day split or stick to 1-2 full body sessions a week. Any change to your diet?

Thanks

I have a bunch sitting around, and think it’s fine as long as I eat it with a bunch of fat. I don’t have a lot, maybe one or two shakes a week at this point. They taste pretty good too =)

LOL

Hmm, could be wrong on that one then eh? I’m pretty sure about the intentional injury to a major joint though – I’ve severely dislocated my kneecap and the extent to which it hurts is indescribable – even in comparison to HIT training, or Hybrid machine negative training. The knee is so prone to pain it’s not even funny! =O

Hilarious that you mention that it isn’t as bad as childbirth. I’ve been training my mom whenever I’m at home (bless her, she’s been going to the gym on her own too!) and when I last went in with her, she was unsure how much weight to put on her leg press because she had changed from doing the one where you stack weight on yourself to the one with numbered plates.

She ended up doing the leg press for over 3 minutes, at a slow 5×5 cadence. She told me afterward that it was worse than childbirth.
