im kinda tired.. the sequence and construction of this reply kinda sucks so sorry for that.
well .. first of all... everything said here is not relevant at all. because everyone has different biochemistry and metabolisms. if you want to get more muscle mass , just eat more proteine and work out.. it's the easiest thing ever - quitte superficial... but if you want to be more specific you need to handle everything .
Skillz just presented a superficial workout plan that works if you don't have a workout plan - or if you don't do any sports.. or if you have incorrect workout schedules.
Getting into a debate is kinda stupid because first of all all the things you guys are saying is just surface level stuff. If you really look deep you get into science, biochemistry , enzymation, hydroxylation etc. you are getting into more difficult territory.
if you are fat and unhealthy working out is not the healtiest thing. you need to reduce any stress before committing to more stress ( working out). This can be done by having a raw food diet mostly veggie and cutting away most carbs - 2 to 4 raw eggs daily for the cholines,crude proteine and rare amino acids like cystine. second by proving micronutrients like niacin or niacimide you can lower LDL and increase HDL... 500 mg daily for 6 months is enough ( if you don't have any vasculair disorders ). niacimide also increases glycogen secretion (the liver ), this is relevant for people who are overweight in any way because they can cut carbs untill they achieved the right results. niacin and niacimide are not the same... niacin has more function but has different side effects and additional benefits.
you don't have to wait 6 months before working out... just do little amounts of it daily, 10 pushups daily etc. gradually over time you increase your daily exercise a bit.
the time range from when you stop working out to - 30 mins after the workout is the time that you get a secretion of hormones, including growth hormones ( repair and grow etc ). IF you eat any high carb stuff after or at the end of exercise you only will spike your insuline which is a growth hormone antagonist. Carbs are not that bad.. you don't increase muscle cells.. you increase glycogen storage in muscle cells along with a small ATP increase... you need enough carbs to restore glycogen levels into individual cells. That's why vitamin B3 is important for overweight people because it increases muscle cell metabolism and increases glycogen secreted by the liver without needing a Carb dominant diet.
if you skip the diet part you will get real physical problems and disorders over a prolonged periods of time... i've seen it happen numerous times with athletes or just normal people. You can eat ALOT of shit if you work out enough but all this crap reduces anti-oxidants and increases free radicals.
if you use too much unhealthy foods your glutathione is saturated with different chemicals and free radicals. It's not just eating and proteine... like i said anti- oxidants are very very important and always overlooked by people. The more crap you ingest the more saturated your transport enzymes become - you get poor nutrition uptake etc.
actually im a trainer.. i also got my degree etc.. all those terms aren''t even important because individual biological make up is way more important than any method.
aside from all of that...
i've tested different diets.. the raw veggie diet sky rocketed my endurance and stamina to extreme levels, it's ridicilous. Heavy diets with alot of fats and proteines were the worst even tho they were more efficient regarding developing and gaining muscle mass. Just balance it , take the best of both worlds.
muscles mass is developed out of vitamins in correlation with amino acids ( like all hormones and other bodily tissues ), it's all enzymation and hydroxylations. Carbs are important but not them most important - your body can easily perform every biochemcial task with low carb intake... it only becomes a problem if you have intense anaerobic workouts without enough time for your body to regenerate. If you do low carbs you should avoid working out daily.... best results are achieved by 2 or 3 anaerobic exercises every week ( 2 is sufficient ).

and I agree, eating meat all day with a couple nuts here or a small salad there sucks a big giant donkey dick
massive proteine intake sucks.. most proteines get converted into byproducts which are harmfull for the body. you can either take megadosages of micronutrients and force your body to create more biochemicals or you can stop wasting that much proteine and money. Prolonged excess proteine is harmfull for your organs ( kidneys) and gut flora.
Acid balance is also important.. people with acidic bodies lack magnesium and lack the ability to recouperate from intense exercise. if you are acidic some enzymes become in-active thus there will be a imbalance in the biochemical make-up. By taking certain amount of supplements ( sodium bicarbonate) AND eating lots of greens like kale or other cruciferious vegetables you get a more alkaline body which is WAY more efficient in enzymations. oxygen uptake and transport ( in blood /hemoglobin) is also way more efficient in people with alkaline bodies. im not talking about having PH 10 ... im more pointing the the right alkaline level that is between 7.0 to 8.0 PH.
All junk foods are total crap.. they totally fuckup Acid–base homeostasis.. here is a quicky from wikipedia...
Quote:
Acid–base homeostasis is the part of human homeostasis concerning the proper balance between acids and bases, also called body pH. The body is very sensitive to its pH level, so strong mechanisms exist to maintain it. Outside the acceptable range of pH, proteins are denatured and digested, enzymes lose their ability to function, and death may occur.
Sources of proteine is also important.. most proteine shakes designed and marketed for body building ( or just supplementation ) are in most cases byproducts of diary and highly inefficient and potentialy detrimental to your gut flora - because they have been denaturalized and extremely hard to digest. Every protein that has been denaturalized ; heated, contaminated or isolated with other chemicals lose most of their bioavailability.
if you want to get high quality protein you need to get a very high quality brand which is probably highly expensive. most brands are low quality and often contain alot of low quality casein which is responsible for alot of health problems. Having massive amounts of proteine without the proper amount of vitamins and proper acid-base levels leads to the imbalances and impaired biosynthesis of certain chemicals.
it's not that hard to cure people from psychological disorders... it's just a matter of therapy and playing with their biochemistry - trying to create homeostasis in the human body ( baloancing hormones and preventing oxidation of steriod hormones ). same for developing heal and muscle mass intelligently, it's playing with biochemistry...
for example.. if you take high dosages of niacin or any other B3 vitamin , like 1500 mg on a day you will slow down tryptophan to niacin conversion. 60 mg tryptophan is needed in order to biosynthesize 1 mg of niacin. if you don't get enough anti-oxidant to prevent oxidation of (micro)nutrients your body will convert all those precious amino acids to vitamins and other crucial primary components instead of using those amino acids for muscle growth/repair. IF you miss one aquadate vitamin and if you increase another you get imbalances which can lead to all kinds of problems.
this is all very real.. it's called biochemistry.. im not a official doctor but i actually get people off anti-depressants by increasing their niacin + niacimide intake, their tryptophan intake ( 1 or 2 gram a day , depending on individual biochemistry ) and high levels of vitamin C ( to prevent quick oxidation on hormones and steroid hormones ) and also reducing serotonin antagonists.... i lower their intakes over time to get them adjusted to the changes in serotonin without the side effects of addictive anti-depressants.
this is just a example... i play with my own biochemistry alot adjusting vitamin levels or other nutrients - trying to change/ temporarily modify my gene expression....any chemical can be adjusted as long there is a uptake.
IF you decide to take vitamin supplements you really need to watch out because most formulas contains cheap oxides and carbonates which are low in bio-availability. Vitamin C always have low bio-availability ( unless you buy C-ester ) it's like 20 %.....
my point is that low or medium quality supplements are crap in most cases.. most proteine shakes are crap and most vitamin supplements are crap - they are not bio-available enough and not efficient ( unless you alter them chemically ). Junk foods and processed food are crap.. you think some people can stand all that crap but meanwhile their acid-base homeostasis is thown of balance.. they can look ripped and healthy but deep inside they are very unhealthy. Raw unprocessed foods have maximum absorption and uptake in comparison with processed foods - that's on reason why raw foods diets are so efficient.
