Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[Julius Skrrvin]

My experience has been opposite, even with heavy manual labor involved.

I usually don't eat til 4-5pm when following a leangains type IF-window and my energy levels have been higher and more consistent throughout the day versus standard dieting. There's an increase in catecholamine release the longer you go into a fast which gives you a mini-ephedrine effect. This is where the testimonials of feeling more "focused" stem from and also why exercising closer to the end of the 16hrs is ideal.

IIFYM is about macros. Leangains is really just about the 16/8 fast:eat window with a focus on post-workout nutrition. Everything else is up in the air and requires to person to do some homework, although he does give LOOSE guidelines for eating. Both can be combined.


Random:
I don't know how long IIFYM been around, but I've been eating like that since I started calorie counting. I just didn't call it "IIFYM," but "eat a free meal and worry about damage control later"

.....IIFYM has a better ring to it

Exactly, when i'm on my fast i feel sharp as a fukking knife. There's a lot of research coming out now about the neuroprotective aspect of fasting as well, very interesting stuff.

I've been wanting to give eat stop eat a try but I just love leangains too much at this point. I can't believe how well it works, even if you can't workout as frequently as you would like.

and fukk 6 little meals a day bullshyt, fukk that shyt so hard

for leangains is it required to keep the same time u eat and fast everyday or is fine as long as u do the 8/16 split and have ur biggest meal after workout? my hours for work can go from anywhere from 7-4pm or 12-10pm, so when my work schedule changes daily i have to eat/workout at different times.

or is it just better to keep it between 1-9pm?

be careful my dude might wanna switch it up depending on the pain, I had a shoulder injury put me out from upper body for like 4 months.

Today I did a full upper body I didn't plan it to be like that but I ended up doin bicep curls, pushups, pull-ups, dips, incline bench barbell, rows, sit ups, and even a few heavy deadlifts. Usually I do a 3 days split that is back/bi chest/tri legs/shoulders but sometimes I just switch it up and new a bunch of random shyt.
