    Meal prepping and bodybuilding

    @dawn16 I don't think there's like a tutorial out there, you just learn about nutrition and apply it. The easiest way you can start with it is focusing on the simple 3 part dishes: meat with a side of veggies and a side of carbs. So using the meat as an example, instead of making a lot of a...

    Meal prepping and bodybuilding

    @joshua11212 It doesn't really have to be a binary decision. Something you can work with is instead of thinking of making full meals, focus on making different parts that can later be combined into different meals.

    Weekly Question Thread - Week of 10/1/2018

    @lyn112 Try PHAT, I think it's a good next step from nSuns for hypertrophy, and it has a lot of variation and volume. Btw the only way to get the "best" routine is to get it tailored to you, so either learn about sport science, make your own routine and eventually modify it to get there by...

    @anglican1972 Yeah, the dieticians and phd's in nutrition are always saying have as little variation as possible, don't use a lot of different food sources and groups, certainly don't rotate what you eat. I'm just a contrarian, don't listen to me.

    @ybounasre Sounds like the muscle loss is just in your head and it's preventing you to be consistent with each strategy (cutting, massing).

    @brendan3248 https://bayesianbodybuilding.com/the-cardio-comedown/ Scroll down to "the cost of cardio". My advice to you is make peace with the fact that you're going to lose some muscle mass and strength, but also don't worry too much because as long as you're not in a caloric deficit, you're...

    @claysmomma This is bodybuilding, who cares about grip strength? Use straps or straight up quit deadlifts.

    @psyche69 This is the standard recommendation for training during a cut: same as regular hipertrophy, or slightly less volume. This is not a controversial topic, it's basic stuff. The main reasons behind it are a) you can't recover as well during a cut, so that's the best you can accomplish...

    @sirpyriel Keep it. And weigh yourself multiple times per week in the same conditions and calculate weekly averages, then compare those averages to measure progress. What you don't want to do is weigh yourself like once per week and compare those numbers, because of daily weight fluctuations...

    @psyche69 Specialization cycles are not meant to be done during a deficit.

    Time and time again the guys adding the most LBM/density are the ones focused on moving big loads (regardless of rep range)

    @fender75 The main point isn't recovery, but rather how long the post-workout muscle growth process lasts (MPS spike). Research shows that it lasts 48-72 hrs on average, and if you split it into training levels, it shows it lasts 72+ hrs for beginners, 48-72 hrs for intermediates, and ~24 hrs...

    @inthemaze For not going to the gym for 6 months, you need a beginner routine, even if you look like Arnold. For 22% bf you need to cut. Being untrained and having trained before puts you in the best position to do both at the same time (build muscle, lose fat). Chose one of these programs...

    @fender75 So you're saying that because one guy does what really is a lower take on medium volume, and one does low volume, that that represents what's best? PPL 1x, even if it is "PPL", is a bro split. When we say "bro-split" we're talking about that scheme as well as the one body part per day...

    @dawn16 That one is also 5 days full body, in my opinion a little better than the Nippard one, and it's free. Check it out. Here's a mirror in case it's down.
