Muscle Chem, Advanced Supplements IGF Trial Run

A few people have asked why I don’t do IIFYM dieting. Afterall, I am new to dieting and it’s everywhere you turn, some sexy woman is eating a cupcake being like IIFYM! So why aren’t I on the IIFYM bus ?

IIFYM rests on the premise that all calories are fairly equal and that you can obtain pretty standardized muscle building / fat burning potential by eating within your Macros (proteins, carbs, fats). Thus, if you are at a 270 calorie deficit it’s perfectly okay to indulge in that Hostess Twinkie, you did, afterall, stay within the macros for the day and thus aren’t in any danger of gaining weight or harming your muscle building potential—FALSE !

To understand the drawback of IIFYM you have to understand how macros really affect you, in essence a calorie is not a calorie.
Eating 270 calories of a Twinkie is not going to yield the same muscle building or fat loss power as 270 calories from chicken, spinach, and a sweet potato. Period. In essence the concept of calories in/calories out is flawed.

Furthermore we have to look at what comprises the macros, 270 calories from different sources can drastically impact your physiological response. 270 calories from high glycemic carbs are different then low glycemic, 270 calories of fat is different than non-fats as well. To optimize your weight goals you have to take into consideration how the contents of what you are eating is going to impact you, and when to take advantage of that. A High glycemic carb post workout is a hell of a lot better for muscle building then a low glycemic, but that same high glycemic carb throughout the day can add pounds to the waistline.

That being said take a look at your IIFYM dieting and see how the foods you are eating are impacting your goals… or just look at the progress you’ve made and ask yourself… could I have done it better?

Enjoy the cupcake… and share my fucking page

Nice explaination, and I could not agree more. I'll be honest I did not even know what that stood for, I had only seen it over at BB.com etc. Sounds absolutely terrible, Yeah I got my calories today from ice cream, a big mac, and 4 donuts, well there is my 2200 calories on a big cut, and all of what 40 grams of protein, 120 grams of fat and probably the rest carbs. Sounds like it will work just as good as my normal healthy fats, low glycemic carbs, and clean whole protein sources. I'm glad I read this because now I know what it means and that it would be a terrible idea in my opinion.

Going to share your page as well brotha.

Looking beast, abs are coming in nicely.

As long as you focus solely on what you are good at, your results will always be inferior to what you could achieve by practicing what you're bad at.
Isolate your weaknesses, fix them, build new muscle, and grow bitch
Things for me to improve and focus on in February: Weighted hypers, Floor Press, Front Squats

Whats yours?

Trying to bring my rear delta up this year, along with my Glutes , Love me a bubble butt! the bigger the better Bitches lmao
 

Not a bad day.
Speed work 6 sets of 3 reps
Followed by 1 set of heavy bench for reps, been increasing this by 10lbs per week. Goal is 405 for 10 before my next meet.

Did some incline DB work and DB Floor Presses after but my nagging bicep became quite irritated. So I did a 15 minute massage after and called it quits.
 
Back from Chicago, had a fancy trip with the girlfriend. Unfortunately my diet and whatnot was very much lacking during that trip and I can definitely feel and see a difference. Very happy to be back home and back on the meal plan.

I really can't stress to people enough how much proper diet, solid supplements, and good rest play a huge role in training.

Today was a GOOD day, but it was hard fought for it--and it should not have been. I moved my bench for ten up 15lbs and it was a bit of a struggle. The ultimate goal this training cycle (4-5 more weeks) is to have a 405lbs bench for 10 reps after doing my speed work.

Attached is the video from today's lifts


Hit that Pump Juice Extreme today pretty hard, it kept me going through this session!

Then I got that IGF in me, let's go recovery :)
