So does anyone have experience with getting extremely sick after having lifted regularly for over a year? I went to Cancun and came back with a really bad GI virus.

I've been sick for about two months now and I'm down almost 15 pounds. I'm wondering how much of that has been muscle mass? Because I only feel slightly thinner, but not very much. Am I going to lose all of my gains from the past year :( just from not being able to work out or eat enough for 7 or 8 weeks or will I be able to rebound pretty quick? I'm planning to start heading back to the gym in the next week or two.

You'll rebound up to a point. Try to keep your calories and protein up if you can, and expect accelerated progress when you get back to it. Five steps forward, two steps back.

Hey just wanted to make a public apology here. I sent a pm as well man.
Sorry Rooster. I over reacted to your comments. I had other stuff going in this morning and was actually pissed that the genuine effort I had put into that post was laughed at.
I took the low road. Which normally isn't me.
I usually don't retaliate.

I don't enjoy my knowledge or qualifications being challenged so easily and took offense to it. Just like you didn't like me inferring that your opinion didn't matter because you had just bought your first protein powder.

I didn't make my points from some condescending mantle. I was just trying to help with something I felt I knew enough about to assist with.
And If I had come in here and bashed one way of eating and then preached my own feelings on the subject I could understand the laughing gifs and being told my words were BS. I would have deserved it even.


You ask if my athletes would have similar results with different eating schedules. Maybe. Maybe not. No way to know. No way to control that study. But the athletes had success, so it's reasonable to think that their diet assisted them more than it hindered them. And they are far enough into their careers now and still having success that's it unlikely that they would change now. And they have continued to get better as time goes on so its part of that if it ain't broke don't fix it thing.


I'm going to read and get into the whole IF principles so I understand them better. I'm not one to shy away from new knowledge.

It's alright man. I wasn't being fully serious in the first half of my reply, just labouring the point and taking issue with the ad hominem nature of your reply and found going through post histories a bit petty.

I agree with your put a lot of effort into the post and then get cut down straight away point. Was going to say the same thing as well. That would blow.

Why oh why does my gym not have any racks like the ones in Alien's videos. Not that the racks in my gym are a hassle or anything, but you have to set up your own safety bars as well as the rack bars to rest the bar on.

So if I'm carb backloading and I train primarily around noon, when do I eat my carbs? Immediately after working out or after 6pm?

Anyone else have acid reflux and work out in the morning? What do you eat pre-workout? I've been drinking a whey protein shake and eating a banana but the reflux is killing me during my workout.

I think the simple answer is to workout without eating anything, but I'm really not sure I can do that.

Bananas give me heart burn all the time. I'd skip that for now and add some blueberries.

As mentioned drink lots of water and try to eat big as close to going to sleep as you can so it will hold you over as long as possible the next day. That being said, every 3 or 4 days I usually have something around 1 or 2. It's always some type of meat.

GAF is right, the cookie dough Quest bars might be the best taste:nutrition calue I've ever eaten. They're just amazing. I need to buy more boxes.

I'm doing the 12-8 time because I think it best matches up with my work schedule. I normally see clients from 9-6, so skipping breakfast, eating after my first client (at 12) then eating a snack mid day, dinner around 6:30. Hit the gym come home and be done for the night. I figured I'd give this a try. Plus eating a big lunch and dinner will be fun :). My fiancé has been saying I look slimmer multiple times these past couple days (she even said she didn't recognize me at the gym from a distance). Hopefully this will help me keep getting smaller while getting stronger.

And Petrie, I told you man, just like I originally told you about quest bars.

Moral? Always listen to me :-D

Nice court, I've always wanted to play on a floor that has the NBA line just to see how accurate I am from that range.
Click to expand...

it's harder than you'd think lol. unless you've got a shot with good form or a lot of upper body strength, it's difficult to shoot that far/accurately. I had to change my form up a lot and actually jump on my jump shot lol.

but then when I'd move in to the high school line, that shot is like a free throw compared to the nba line.

Aw shit Petrie.

yep. $15 a box with coupon. even cheaper if I had a Gold Card, but sadly I do not. Sucks. lol

SeanR1221 said:
Oops no, I'll probably have a scoop of whey and creatine/beta/citrulline mixed in OJ post workout.

I think you'll want something more substantial after your workout. IF will be tough given your schedule, because of how late your workouts are in your day.

How about skipping lunch Sean? Is that doable? Then you can get a sizable meal post workout and it will also serve the purpose of holding you over the next day.

Your body adjust after while. Remember, you're meals should be bigger than if you're eating 3 squares.

It would be pretty tough for me to adjust to that but I could potentially eat from 3-10 or so.

I have deep range, never knew exactly where the 3 line was though, I can take flat footed HS/College threes. I really want to see how accurate I am from there, the HS line is cake and more of an arm shot.
