Weight Training Thread

[PrekisCrossBarlow!]

I mean, scientifically, so are you - Yobo's right that carbs are carbs and your body goes through them in more or less the same rate. It matters more if you overdo it on carbs - they should be about half of your total caloric intake (on average people and lifters, not some pro athletes that follow macro and micronutrients).

Your body does work through things slightly slower - about ~20%- when you sleep - but it still matters more if you intake a normal amount, rather than when you intake that amount.

Naturally it's better for you if you intake gradually as too much of one things at once is always not a great idea, whichever nutrient you'd pick. Any one you pick and overdo close to sleep (1-2 hours or less) will make you feel bloated/heavy and will impact your sleep and will make you feel like crap in the morning obviously.

That's a whole hot topic in itself for certain diets like OMAD, warrior diet, etc. as some people suggest and recommend it but it's not for everyone.

Sources for my claims above: / https://www.getrecall.ai/summary/th...to-lose-fat-and-build-muscle-at-the-same-time / sleep is as per https://www.pnas.org/doi/pdf/10.1073/pnas.1216951110 / many more papers written on the subject really.

In reality, most of it will be down to you and how you feel - I'm personally okay to consume carbs at night and feel fine both during sleep and in the morning, but I have friends that don't, and that's where YMMV basically. Organisms are vastly different and how you feel is largely down to you after all.

Sorry chum, citing an unhinged YouTuber and an article about lack of sleep/obesity are not ‘sources’. I don’t think you or Yobo can give me a single credible reason to take either of you seriously. Getting a bit tedious now.

Lads, I'm morbidly obese and eat only kebab meat for the protein. Was told I'd lose weight and gain lean muscle mass

Do I need to cut out the chips and lift as well?

Aslong as you eat it in the morning you will be fine mate as we have learnt in this thread

Would love to learn properly about nutrition. I follow a few online coaches on instagram who specialise in that stuff. I might try and work with one. Can't seem to sort it out on my own.

I like lifting but got bad joints. Picked up some kind of hip impingement doing back squats. Switched to leg press and now seem to have done something with my knee

Would like to do more cardio too, but a bit tentative at the moment due to said joint issues, and I prefer weights and simply often don't have time for both. Averaged over 10k steps per day last year though at least

I’m in the middle of a three day fast and pushing through that weakness to stop atrophy stealing any of my hard won brawn.

Caught a glimpse of my belly in the mirror yesterday and was shook. The Dad bod has consumed me. Swear to God I’d uppercut any of your heads clean off on one wrong glance.

Might be worth seeing a physio about your joints. If you've got osteoarthritis they'll more than likely encourage weights/cardio. If it's something else weights as part of the recovery might well be involved as well.

Yeah did a lot of physio on the hip. It's much better now. Hopefully the knee thing is more minor and will settle soon. Might try and do some more PT but hard to find someone who really knows what they're doing, especially when it comes to injuries

I do a 24 hour fast a few times a month, and I get proper hangry. God knows how you manage a 72 hour one!

Edit: Just seen who I was replying to and haven't go a clue if you're serious. DAMN YOU!

Mate, I can barely do a 12-hour fast, fair play.

Still get HESS HESS'd though if you look at us the wrong way.

I’m serious man! I do 16/8 or so weekdays but every now and then I’ll do a longer one for the autophagy, but mostly ego.

We’re all about the hesses G.

Like anything fasting gets dead easy the more you practice it.
