Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Why do you beleive 5 days a week to the be optimum number of days to workout?
|
I believe in training 1 - 2 body parts per workout so this works out at 5 days.

In your example back routine deadlifts aren't included, any reason why?
|
I don't recommend anything to anyone that I don't do myself, that way I can keep integrity. Having said that, deadlifts are great. I don't deny that I don't place a lot of emphasis on my back.

Why you only feel that 8-12 reps is a suitable rep range?
|
I don't feel it's the
only suitable rep range. It is the best however for hypertrophy. It also allows good form and a fuller range of motion. I go into
8 - 12 reps for building muscle more here.

How did you reach the conclusion than High Protein, Low Carb, High Fat should be followed for 5 1/2 days before embarking on a 36 hour refeed?
|
BIG question.
Read this article or look up some work by Mauro Di Pasquale (Anabolic Solution for bodybuilders), Lyle McDonald (Ultimate Diet 2.0), Dan Duchaine (Underground bodyopus) and others that sing the praises of this dietary approach.

You don't seem to eat alot on your low carb days, 5 eggs, and 2 chicken wraps between 6.30am and 4.30pm
|
No, in that post you're quoting I had the following between those hours
6.30am Breakfast -
Scrambled Eggs (3, 4 or 5 depending on hunger) - made with cream not milk. I have this with a decaff coffee with cream, sweetened with splenda.
10/11am -
Low-carb wrap filled with chicken, cheese & mayo
& a ‘Go-Lower’ bar. 1pm/2pm -
Low-carb wrap with tuna & cheese &
Peperami bar. 4.30pm -
Celeriac fries or any combination of cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage
with steak or pork (2 fillets). I like this with
melted butter on top or ranch dressing.
Butter, cheese, mayo, double cream - there are a LOT of calories in those. 100 grams of the mayo I use is around 720 calories
Again, thanks for the welcome everyone.
