Haha i'll do it for science then!! But yeah the thought of smelling piss capsules is a turn off for sure. Just figured i'd try.. what the hell?!

In other news. Larry Wheels.. Been watchin him train with Thor for his first strongman event , i'm super excited for him! Can't be easy to do what he does, come from where he came from, and then completely do a 180 and train for Strongman.. I hope he slays at the comp. Been watchin my man Brian Shaw ramp up his training too!

Anyone have an idea on macros for muscle maintenance / gain while cutting fat? I’m doing minimal cardio these days. I get in 7-8000 steps per day and lift 4 days a week. 201 lbs, 5’10”, turn 54 super bowl weekend. Keto works for me for weight loss but not for muscle building. Thanks in advance. god bless

Set calories below whatever your BMR is. Win.

How many g protein/day you doing on keto?

Remeber that 30% of protein calories are consumed in processing so while they calculate 5 lcal/g proteins its truly only 3.5kcal/g. This is why they say to keto at x grams where x = 80% of your bodyweight in pounds. At a target weight of 185 to 190 that would be about 150g protein (18oz chicken breast) with about 1200kcal to spare. Fats ring in at 9kcal/gram and carbs 5kcal/gram, but youll want to focus on minimizing carbs aside from the innate carbs in your vegetables. I like to do a lot of zucchini and brocolli. Last night i did tacos with almond flour + egg +unsweetened almond milk whipped up to a batter and fried to make crepe-like tortillas.

maybe give intermittent fasting a go while in keto. minimizing insulin should lower your metabolic target weight and if you are in keto, then you shouldn't see significant losses to lean body mass. You are potentially missing out on some of the anabolic effects of insulin, but you still realize them around your meal(s), which should occur following lifts anyway. Also, intermittent fasting stimulates autophagy, which offers the added bonus of cleaning up unnecessary/harmful tissues like plaques. Google all this stuff, could be complete bullshit, but all seems plausible.

Jives with my extremely supernatural wisdom score. You are a genius.

I do this already, but thanks for the info! For whatever reason, I gain super slow while in ketosis. I added some carbs back to my diet the past 6 months, and, before going nuts on pecan pie and Mac n cheese post thanksgiving, I wasn’t really putting on fat but was bulking up BIGLY. I’m just worried about losing the sick GAINZ made across my pectoral girdle. Also, WTB biceps. I can bench 325 now but I can’t curl shit

Not at all. And I doubt I ever will because I don't take anabolic steroids. So unless I really leaned out, which isn't going to happen, I won't ever look like that. I like my very natural look when I'm not pumped up.

He does a lot of good stuff and is a genuinely nice dude, so he gets cut some slack for looking like a freak. But it's hard to do what he does and not.
