10:07 Macro factor guy appears

One mistake I’d add is that fasted workouts don’t actually cause more bodyfat/weight loss. While it may cause a bit more fat than glycogen to be used as the energy source for the workout, you’re not actually burning more or less calories as a result, nor are you burning off any additional body fat. I’d actually argue that you’ll probably have less energy going into the workout when fasted, which can lead to a less intense & therefore less productive training session than if you properly fueled your workout beforehand. Edit: To clarify, I’m not saying you need a full meal shortly before working out. Even just eating a banana, granola bar, or a similar small healthy snack with some carbs does the job just fine 20-30 minutes before a workout. 💪

I was skeptical at first because it was a large decrease of volume however it showed me that i had too much junk volume in my last self-made routine. Helped me max out at 275 on the bench. I was stuck at 160. Now im gonna test a squat max next week so i can update the spread sheet so it gives me more accurate numbers for working weight. What your doing it amazing. Thank you.

I don't if it's worth the effort looking into, but it would be cool to know if health conditions such as celiacs, lactose intolerance, and or IBD affects absorption of protein. Current medical books says that's celiacs severity can manifest in adolescent age and even potentially inhibit growth.

Nice video as usual Jeff. One thing I was wondering was if there are any similar studies to the Sundgot-Borgen paper that had an extra experimental group for training intensity or volume. It would be interesting to see if high muscle stimulus/large calorie surplus would have any changes in fat mass gained compared to the low muscle stimulus/large calorie surplus groups.

Gains in strength and weight were immediate. Changes in body composition is hard to answer. Perception of body image is strange. I remember a point in my early 20s when I was truly impressed with my physique. So that's probably 5 years in and after losing a decent amount of fat. I would say muscle gains are slow and subtle perceptually especially if you're putting on fat. Then 8 weeks of losing fat can yield dramatic visual results

So happy to see that it isn’t mandatory to meet your daily protein goal. I always thought if I wasn’t reaching my daily protein goal I was building almost no muscle as if I didn’t have enough. I guess it makes sense since protein is a building block and not a fuel source.

Hey Jeff!! Quick question… in regards to training, is it more preferable to do strength (6-10 reps) or endurance (12+ reps)? I’ve read that fasting is very bad when it comes to muscle loss, so unless you’re for strength, it seems you’ll lose that. Would love your opinion/explanation for what the best training is as I’m currently on a calorie deficit and on the MF app

@Edge9897

Жыл бұрын

I got you homie! Im not Jeff but I've similarly read a lot of studies and I work out a lot. Think of weight lifting as this, in general: 2-5~ reps - strength training (density of muscle tissue) 8-12~ reps - hypertrophy training (increase in muscle mass) 14+ reps - endurance training (tolerance to time under tension) So what method you choose depends on a lot of factors, but mainly assess what you're looking to do. In general, I've found that training strength with sets of 3-5 reps on compound lifts like bench, deadlift, squat, barbell row, OHP, etc is very efficient at building strength across many muscle groups. I've also found training around 10 reps for the same compound lifts is an efficient way to increase muscle mass across several muscle groups. I never do more than 15 reps as I find it wasteful. I don't want to fatigue out when I'm repping out the 20 lb dumbells. So the GZCLP program is great for this, you open with strength training on a heavy compound lift, then move to a hypertrophic compound lift. Then, you hit the high rep range for isolation exercises (bicep curls, skullcrushers, calf raises, leg curls, etc) to round out the pyramid. Cheers!

What's your opinion on cutting weight fast with fasting? I find it really easy to fast up to 48 hours and getting a big caloric deficit. Then eating a few days and doing the same thing again. That leads to big weight loss but is it bad for muscle preservation? I've read about increase in HGH while fasting which would help with the muscle loss.

Biggest mistakes I made early was definitely being overly focused on protein and supplements (including test boosters, fat burners, etc. 😖) but I learned within the first year to ween off of that. Now I only do creatine and maybe a multivitamin, only use protein shakes when I really need it which isn't often. Another thing I'll add is thinking you need to eat a certain way, but really as long as calories + protein are good and you're not extreme with your choices you'll be fine.

Loved the bit about eating below .7g/lb and how you can still build muscle, just not as fast. I've experienced this personally and appreciated the call-out for not being able to afford 1g/lb.

Youre so good at being a producer, director, and actor. These skits are amazing and hilarious

What's your stance on caloric fluctuations to hit a weekly goal instead of just a daily target? Is there any research to suggest it being better or worse? Good video as always

Also interested and just listened to a good mind pump podcast where they talk about this to some degree, saying it is better to ensure the surplus is daily and not saved for a weekend splurge, but I want Jeff's wisdom to back this up haha

@@connormaynard2748 this is great cheers, kind of what I do naturally as I have an untracked day once per week and just be sure to hit my slight surplus other days... I did used to have 2 days that were under maintenance not by design, and notices more fat gain, I think I was underfeeding but not sure

What I've learnt in the last 6 months atleast for me is that cardio allows me to gain the benefits of a calorie surplus without actually being in a surplus. I eat 3500 calories a day, which more than allows for all the nutritional requirments to build muscle, usually the excess would go on as fat. But now I also run 20km/week, so that excess gets burnt off allowing me to stay at a fairly stable BF % (around 13-14%). Since doing this my gains have remained more or less the same as they did when I would "bulk" (I never aggresively bulked mind you, I get very lethargic at higher body fat %s) and as a bonus I am also exponetionally fitter, closing in on a sub 20min 5k. Cardio has been the answer for me to balance out my need for additonal calories without wanting to gain body fat.

Only dude I’d consider downloading/subscribing to an app because he recommends it. Jeff is quality. 👊🏻

I found coffee just makes me more pumped up from the music I'm listening to and because the music is pumping me up and can run harder and faster

Hey Jeffie boy ! Nice to see you again. Should we calculate our protein intake based on body mass or lean mass ? Does it make a difference?

@xHuntedStormx

Жыл бұрын

1.6-2.2g/kg of total body mass. much easier than measuring lean muscle mass and then calculating protein intake from that, if that's what you mean?

Im glad you've mentioned about the protein intake. I've had numerous arguments with people in recent years about how much protein you need to consume. In my opinion, the majority of people don't need any more than 0.8g per lb of lean body mass. Anything from 0.5-0.8 will suffice the majority of people. I've seen people saying you need between 1.5 and 2g per lb of bodyweight and that's just ridiculous. Half of that is literally being excreted .

The amount of protein a natural can synthesise is extremely small. If your on gear like Jeff that’s not important because you are in a state of protein synthesis the ENTIRE time you are on the cycle. Remember, steroid users need LESS protein than naturals not more.

My first 3-4 months of lifting, I gained 30 ish lbs. At the end of it my body fat was still around 15%, and it still looked pretty lean. I wouldn't do it again now as a more experienced lifter, but i think the large surplus helped squeeze every ounce out of the newbie gains

You really should track your kcal intake. I always thought as a skinny one I could eat everything I want without getting fat. I tracked calories intake and added about +500 kcal a day. In 1 month I gained 4 kg's of fat/muscles, it actually scared me how fast I got a fat belly I could grab with my hands. I got slightly bigger chest and arms but kind of lost my lean abs 😢😅@@gkountilas

Ive used macro factor for the past several months; my favorite app to track. Thanks for the awesome video Jeff, always love the researched videos you send out!

Jeff - I would love to see you revisit supplements if there has been additional recent research on the leading candidate supplements that interest you. Personally, I think Im a creating non-responder, but I get a significant pump with L-Citrulline. Anecdotally, I think it has promise. Thanks for another great, well-researched, informative video.

Great content. Cheers from Finland💪🏻

I wanna say thanks for the videos. I started going to the gym consistently the end of December 2022, didn't see any results until I started focusing on my calorie and protein intake. I started at 135lb and 6ft, I still only weigh 146 now but it's progress and I'm getting the foundation.

Hi, I really enjoyed macro factor for the 2 months I used it. My problem was that 1. it didn’t really have any meals in the database itself and 2. I couldn’t adjust my goal over 0.3 kg per week, since the app limited it. Would love to see some changes here

@TheJesster257

What do you mean "it didn't really have any meals in the database itself"? The database is pretty great, and you can add custom items to your heart's content! Also, do you mean 0.3 kg gain per week? You can currently adjust the gain to 0.75 lbs/week which is 0.34 kg/week. I'm not sure why you would want to gain faster than that, but if you do, you can set up a custom nutrition plan and just eat more than the coached plan would suggest.

@@TheJesster257 Well i Would like to gain faster than that, because a - studys have shown that up to 0.5 kg per week can be beneficial. Im pretty sure Jeff has also mentioned it in a few of his videos and b - the reccomended calories for gaining 0.3 kg per week were wayyyy too low for me. i ended up loosing after 2 weeks on this schedule. And yes, i was tracking every las calorie down to the gramm, so please dont tell me i tracked wrong. The database had 0 meals saved. At least here in germany. So i ended up connecting it with my fitness pal, which has the meals i scanned saved and ended up tracking this was. Suboptimal to say the least

my last bulk was at around a 300 daily surplus and it worked pretty well. I was wondering if going to 500-600 would have worked better, but it sounds like maybe not :(

@carlopartyman462

Жыл бұрын

if ur maintenace is 3000, then 300 is a 10% increase, and 600 cal is a 20% increase. So, 600 cal would work but it would just be a more aggresive bulk than 10% which may result in more fat gain but also more muscle gain than a 10% caloric increase.

I tried going from 100-200 calories surplus to 500-600 for three months and in 500-600calories I gained slightly more muscle but a lot more fat then before just like the study shows and I guarantee you its not worth it.

Nah man you can still do it, and have fun with food just make sure you know how to cut and always love yourself in the bulk state and your cut state. You might gain more fat but the overall strength gains will go up. When you cut go into a -500 deficit. Bulking is very subjective as far as a surplus is concerned. Have fun with food man. And most importantly KILL THOSE LIFTS IN THE GYM

How much is wasted if you have a deficit? I have been lifting like crazy but I have a weird situation where I KNOW I'm not eating enough. I'm getting super shredded(and good muscle growth) but I wonder how much lean muscle growth I'm wasting. Thanks! Edit: The video pretty much answered what I already knew. I really am gonna have to add back in regimented nutrition. I find that to get the proper intake, I need to be disciplined and eat significantly more than I normally would. But that is what it takes!

I am in the exact same boat as you based off what you described. For a magnitude of reasons, I wasn't lifting from August 2022-January 2023, so I nearly reset. Although I've been lifting for the past 4-5 years, the beginner gains have pmuch come back, since I was on such a long break. I know I'm definitely not eating optimally, but I'm still growing muscle/fat thru what I am eating. But yes, all it comes down to is just eating more. Oftentimes we try to find different solutions, rather than just doing exactly what makes sense. Keep up your grind bro, we all on a mission to improve.

@6thsense464

It depends on what you want to achieve. If you want to be shredded than keep doing what you do now because it is not worth to put on fat and cut again after.
