The AMOUNT of food is more important than Training
« on: January 29, 2007, 06:38:41 AM »
something i have noticed now that im really pounding the calories. ive actually cut back on weightlifting and upped the cardio because i tend to get sluggish feeling and sleepy after eating 7-8000 calories a day and cardio with all the sweat wakes me up and makes me feel better.

but my point is with all these calories im not doing the crazy high volume sets although high volume sets are not bad at all because they ensure you are breaking down the muscle and stimulating a maximum growth potential. but the thing is i dont do near as many sets but my strength has gone way up i can actually do about 8 sets of 315 never done anything like that in my life and incline curl 75 pound dumbells for easy reps.

its like you have to eat sooooooooooooo much junk food to fully saturate the muscle , for it to grow if its not fully saturated you wont gain strength as quickly. for me i pay attention to the scale i forefeed myself to make sure i gain 2 pounds everday , its probably 90 percent water weight but water makes up a muscle different fluids n such. i would probably gain even better if i did more training but tons of food makes me sluggish as hell and so after a bout of cardio i feel like 100 bucks!

here's what I'll tell you, take it or leave it.  When I was younger I was getting ready for a competition and got really sick and dropped a ton of weight.  Once I was ok to start training again I did the exact thing you're doing-force feeding myself but I was shooting for a pound a day not 2.  I was eating tons of rice and eggs, along with a ton of junk food just tons.  I wish I never did that cause it f'd up my metabolism and made it that much harder to cut up.

take it or leave it.

there is whole new thread about not needing cardio, some respected experts have chimed in with their thoughts
and here is this fucker..upping the food, lifting less and doing more cardio.

the human body is a great instrument with it's adaptive abilities..


I can eat minimal and still gain

you have the potential to do extremely well with a lot more size and thickness packed onto that huge frame of yours, if you got onstage with  a lot of mass at your height you'd look incredible.

 Samuelsson doesn't eat 8500 calories and neither does anyone else, guys wayyyyyy overestimate how much they eat.

yeah it sounds like an exaggeration, still the info comes straight off his page. but normally they're 5500-6000 tops. so that means dw would pretty much double that
maybe he can take up sumo wrestling when he's done

he's obviously exaggerating, he probably eats more like 4000-4500 which is still a lot.

i highly doubt that, what most guys think is 4000 is more like 2800-3000 in reality.

Magnus Samuelsson claims he eats at least 8000 calories a day to maintain his weight. He works pretty hard all day as a farmer, add training to that. I've seen another strongman eat. The guy would literally just forcefeed himself pasta after workouts. He would fill a big plate up with pasta, eat it all, and then have at least one more the same size. And at least half a gallon of milk would be downed during this.

Going to buffets with this fcuker was a sight to be seen.

I believe Magnus could be eating 8000 calories, definitely.


Good luck with your bulk.

Would be interesting to see you try strongman, that's where I think you got real potential.

problem is though that even that big plate of pasta is around 700 calories so that's really not that much food.
