@niecey85 Definitely not. They should really want to compete. Not just do it to "see how they look" or "see if they can do it". I think they need to have a good relationship with food and no eating disorders. They need to have a lot of time to do cardio/train and get their steps in. They...

@niecey85 Travel with my wife Take my dogs for a walk Craft beer + food Surfing

@niecey85 I came from a more scientist side then fell in love with the sport.

@honglee333 Yes, especially in a beginner. See: https://sci-fit.net/bulking-deficit-gaining/ - it's a little old now, but the concept isn't much different. I don't think it's worth your time if you are trained and above the intermediate level. The chances of spinning your wheels are too high.

@samamph There isn’t really much evidence for “there is a delayed growth effect and muscle recovery actually occurs/adaptive systems are no longer burdened with acute demands” ... muscle is very plastic and MPS fluctuates every 48-72 hours so from a systemic fatigue deloads could help, but even...

@great_depression I think we're still in the characterizing phase of the gut microbiome. My wife works in the microbiome field and there is just so little known it's incredible. We barely have any intervention studies that would be relevant to BBers.

@trumpeter2 Yes, Huel world work. Meal replacements have been used for a very long time in a lot of different settings (e.g., military, etc). The macros/micros seem decent. You CAN go full IIFYM.. but is it optimal? Probably not. That's why in our recommendation for BBers we say "during prep...

@sfk33 Any underlying stressors?

@mcolley10 I think having a gofundme is a great idea. Iirc Dr. Galpin did that to raise funds for his microscope (200k ish). I'm going to try it at some point in the future. I don't think one study can provide all the answers, but this one is going to provide a lot https://motrpac.org

@niecey85 Volume. Training in a way to optimize volume and not worry as much about increasing strength.

@niecey85 I think it's useful for those that have never struggled with over or undereating. It is probably better suited for people who have already tracked for a long time.

@niecey85 I'm really looking forward to more overfeeding research. I think there is so little being done with training that we direly need more. I'm on a team doing one study now and hope to do more in the future. I also think deloading needs a lot more research, which is something I'd like to...

@niecey85 I think I can give some good insight into this one because I've been on the job circuit this year in academia. There is usually an expectation to publish. In our field, it's normal to have to publish between 2-5 studies to be promoted to tenure. People go up for tenure promotion 5-7...

@niecey85 Some of my clients are interested and want everything explained. Others just want directions and trust me. I think both of our clients know we try to educate, so I tend to get those people more often.

@kata93 Not yet but we’re working on it! Should be available in the next couple months

@mcolley10 I echo everything @robertven mentioned. I also think people are now prepared/expecting longer preps, so I try not to do anything less than ~16 weeks for most people.

@matt5 Not dumb at all! You are correct that TDEE varies. Therefore, w give a range so it isn’t one specific number. The difference is one of efficiency, especially long term. The more accurate your data is the better it can support your goals. Thank you for your support. We value all...

Hey Everyone, LogSmarter™ is back and better than ever. What started from Reddit has moved on to grow into something special all thanks to you. What is LogSmarter™, you say? It’s nutrition tracking software that helps you determine your maintenance calories, and then gives you guidance on...

@niecey85 I don't think it's necessary for a full prep, or necessary for everyone. I. think it makes life a lot easier. I'd compare it to having a wikiguide for a video game. It could save you a ton of time and help you enjoy it more. That said, not everyone has the money to spare so I understand.

@niecey85 Yes, I did during my last two preps. I used Coach Alberts from 3dmj from 2016-2019. Even if you know exactly what to do during a prep it can be difficult not to make wild changes because you don't see improvements. I am self-coached now during my (2-3 year?) offseason.
