I'm not sure personaly that deconditionning is a good idea for someone on steroids. If you are above your genetic potential you're likely to lose muscle if you don't train at all. And if your level of hormones has not fully returned to normal.. ouch.. As a steroid user your primary objective...

Ok I think I see what you mean - more or less. Thanks.

Lyle usually says that what matters is the input/output from bodyfat. That's part of the reason why we do the depletion first in the UD2, so that glycogen is out of the way and we can concentrate on losing fat. Let's say you do a low carb with some cardio, not HIIT necessarily. Let's say you...

Man you wouldn't believe how much time I spend to try to understand that..

Mmmh.. just to make sure I understand the process properly.. During your cardio you burn glycogen, after your cardio when you eat carbs you recover your glycogen, and while this happens you burn fat. Is that right? Now what happens if you do a low carb or no carb? You don't recover your...

It's not because you were drinking a lot that you didn't lose a lot of water! You can drink as much as you want while doing a low carb you will still be flat like a pancake. Losing 8lbs the first week of a low carb is not impossible. Personally I lose about 5 lb after a few days of keto. So if...

It is definitely possible to lose more than 2lbs OF FAT per week. But by doing so you increase your chances of losing muscle. So even if it's possible to lose 3lbs of fat/week, it's rather pointless for us BBers. That's if you are natural, otherwise of course you can loose faster without much...

I get the full effect within a few hours after a workout sometimes. I have to say that I take carbs during my workouts, so it probably accelerate the process. Usually I keep the supercompensation for about 36h.

Could you elaborate a bit on that? Is subcutaneous fat the same as reserve fat? Is it the fat right under the skin or what? thanks. :D

Before your workout, you should take complex carbs - about 1h before. Plus some whey right before. You can also get an energy drink during your workout, it will give you more energy, increase glycogen synthesis and help reduce cortisol. You can also put some protein in it. Right after, take...

Or one more excuse because we LOOOVE oatmeal!!

58%? that's a lot.. So it seems to be true.

This question is also related to something that we often hear, which is that the body cannot build muscle before it has recovered its glycogen - case of a carb-up for instance -, because, I guess, a lot of the calories - carbs for the biggest part -, go into the muscles and are not used in fact...

The guy told me that protein after training WITH carbs accelerated carb repletion. So from what he said they are converted to glycogen anyways. About what you said, think about it.. after your workout you are significantly carb depleted. It is impossible that you replete your glycogen with just...

Someone who is pretty knowledgeable on training (Phd) told me that the protein taken after training is converted to glycogen to restore glycogen store (neoglucogenesis). Is there any truth to this? If it is how can we still get some amino acid for muscle growth after training? Anyone has any idea?

Looks like the Delta 1250 diet, which is a version of the ABCDE. http://www.t-nation.com/readTopic.do?id=460662

Check that.. http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/abstract/74/1/96 You have a big insulin spike with milk.

Well, usually you avoid hig gi carbs, don't you? It's the same for the milk. Milk has a very high insulinemic index. I talked to a trainer the other day who even told me it was a good post-workout choice because of that. I have found that it's also good for carbups. Except for that, I prefer...

From my experience, this is true. A one day refeed is not enough. Try a full 3 day refill. Full carb-up the first day and slightly above maintenance the 2nd and 3rd day. I don't really understand why some people say that when fat loss has stopped you have to increase the cardio or reduce the...

It depends on the person. Those with a higher fat setpoint have to begin to use a cyclical diet sooner. Me for example..
