Title: Hypothetical Question for Block, Trop, Disgusted, Derek A., gh15...
Post by: columbusdude82 on April 21, 2008, 07:44:13 AM
This is a serious thread, so all you comedians please take your jokes to the 4 dozen or so other Brewer threads.

HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING, suppose Trey Brewer came to you (Blockhead, Troponin, Derek Anthony, Disgusted, Alex A, or anyone else who does contest prep) today, and asked you to take over the rest of the prep for the Junior Nats and USA's.

What would you advise him to do? In terms of cardio, nutrition, and training, what would your advice be?

Serious academic thread here, so again no comedy please.

Put a padlock on the fridge, move to some where remote with a gym nearby and no fast food, take his care keys, and set out his near zero carb rations for the day, and record him on film doing 2 hrs of cardio a day.

In order to know what advice to give him, you need to FIRST know what got him to this point.  That's where you start.  Until you know that, there's no point in even guessing what advice to give him.

My advice would be to use the extra weight to his advantage.  Skip the USA and get shredded for the Nationals.  Of course, he could be like Lee Priest and may not need to diet for long to be shredded.

A poor placing at the USA can cause him to lose momentum.

Serious academic thread here, so again no comedy please.

 Without comedy if 'LunchBox/LunchTrey' asked me to help dial him in for JrNats? I would have him do exactly this...

  Cardio: I would have him on the treadmill at an incline in the 4.0-6.0 range w/ speed in the 3.0-3.5 range for 70 full minutes every morning(6:00am) up until Wednesday before the show. I'd advise him to keep his HR in the 118-124 range the entire time. Him having no real job I'd also have him perform another 45-60 minutes of the same type of cardio in the evening(8:00pm) as I would assume having no job allows you to train in the early afternoon or late morning.

 Training: I wouldn't care as he can train himself. I'd just encourage him to keep his rest between sets no longer than 1 minute for anything upperbody and no more than 2 minutes for LEGS.

 Diet:  I would have him eating a higher fats, consistent protein and low carb diet. Based on the pictures I've seen I'd tell him to have 5 SOLID meals a day and 1 LIQUID meal(post-workout) only. I'd want him to shrink his stomach down a little bit. Or a lotta bit. I would probably tell him NO MORE than 350-375g of protein daily, 80-90g of fats daily and his trace carbs from veggies etc would probably be in the 50g range. ZERO sugar. ZERO animal fat so I'd have him be mindful of his red meat. As it got closer to the show I would have him cycle his fats. 4 days very low fats, 2 days moderate fats and 1 day NO fats. I'd also bring down his protein a little getting as low(for him) as 300g/day only. He'd hurt as his stomach is used to 9-10 meals and 10,000 calories but this is an extreme case here. Then as it got closer I would maybe have him have only 1 or 2 days of fats with his meals and the rest of the week a lean protein source and green veggies only. Maybe once every 10 days I'd have him eat a couple hundred grams of carbs in the form of yams or something. That would eventually be taken away, though.

 Gear: No androgens. Anabolics only. Mild. Never breaking over 1g/week.  More isn't better. I may even extend his life a little bit. Primo/winstrol/tren type of cocktail. I'd make him bring his gh down to 4-6iu's a day instead of 8-10iu's. I'd dump the T3 and DNP and see what plain ECA/clen 2 week ON and 2 week OFF does for him taking up to 140mcg of clen daily and ECA 2-3x's a day. Maybe.

 That's in a nutshell off the top of my head. I don't know. I'd have to really sit and think about it and interview him and get an idea of what he is used to, open to and objects to. I would want him to justify why he eats 800-1000g of protein a day and give me definitive answers besides.."I dunno, thats what my trainer says to do..."

 Good question.

Post by: OTHstrong on April 21, 2008, 04:16:15 PM
Being serious CD82; At this point he can't afford to stagger his carbs or even go low carbs so he must go no carbs Take ECA and clen at the same time, cardio 2x a day, doesn't matter when because he is on no carbs. Side effects, inproper brain functions, mood swings and insomniea. Taking a dump will feel like a pop can coming out because he needs to be at 600 grams of protein a day minimum to support all that muscle without carbs. Plus the usual contest prep goodies :)

So if he doesn't eat 600g proten he is just going to wither away?

Well, the excuse I would use would be the truth. Whether it was the trainers fault or his own. Nothing wrong with just saying that I screwed up and have learned a lession. I have always recommened staying fairly lean in the offseason.

I disagree. Completely.

 He wouldn't need much more than 300-350g of protein a day to hold that muscle and I'm being generous. On gear, which keeps you in a constant positive nitrogen balance, he could get away with less than 300g.

 Think. Plenty of quality growing physiques in Club Fed. They probably get less than 100g of protein a day.

he doesnt need 600 grams of protein, perse, but he does need calories to support his muscle mass...   where des he get those calories? well, not carbs...i GUESS, you could go with fats for SOME of those, but you still gotta have most of it as protein


muscle takes calories, whether it be fats or carbs, to sustain itself, with a lack of calories, he wont hold much muscle...   the gear will help reatin muscle...but its not fool proof

but its in place of carbs..its protei to be used as energy instead of muscle protien.

i dont think he meant he will utlize 600 grams of protien in the form of amino acids..i think he meant hell utilize it as glucose via conversion


AND


youve got to consider that if he has a minimum , lets say, 200 grams of carbs a day hes got get...then he needs 400 grams of protein, if hes using no carbs, cuz protein converts to glucose at a rate of 2=1 in the body

and then on top of that, hell ned to consume his actuall protein needs

I doubt it. He should be eating 300-350g of protein and 12-20g of fats per meal for 6 meals maybe 7. TOPS. He needs to shrink his stomach down and hurt a little bit.

 I eat 2 times a day now. Maybe 3 if I am lucky and I am just as strong and maybe stronger on some lifts and the only 'supplements" I use is creatine/dextrose combo post-workout. I haven't had a protein shake in months. I would guesstimate my protein intake is about 200g or less a day. Probably 150g. People keep asking me what I'm "on".

 Conclusion? Put the magazines down. You don't need that much protein. You won't breakdown muscle that easily and neither will LunchTrey. Unless he diecides to starve himself and run a 10K marathon 3x's a week he aint losing muscle.

If he eats "sufficient" protein it doesn't matter much what the rest of the calories come from IMO. I don't really think you get more ripped by going zero carb and substituting carb calories with fat calories.

How much he eats depends a lot on what drugs he's on and how much cardio he does. What you suggest might be a little light if he's on heavy thyroids, etc.

I agree with you that meal frequency isn't that important. However, calories do matter. I doubt your meals are as small as when you were eating more meals. You are making up for the calories somehow.

If protein is the same between the diets, fat and carb distribution matters little as far as fat loss. How do you think Alex Azarian gets so ripped by eating oatmeal and brown sugar? You don't have to zero carb to get absolutely diced.

SIMPLY PUT.  How simpller can this get. Candidizzle just gave the only info you need on contest prep in a single sentence. Follow this formula, you don't need any expert advice, this is the diet that will take you to contest. This is how I get shredded and may others. What would fatfather i mean squadfather know he has never been below 20%.
 The protein I mentioned (600) is not for tissue repair only, it also serves to raise the matabolism. Remember we are talking about a 300 pounder.

SIMPLY PUT.  How simpller can this get. Candidizzle just gave the only info you need on contest prep in a single sentence. Follow this formula, you don't need any expert advice, this is the diet that will take you to contest. This is how I get shredded and may others. What would fatfather i mean squadfather know he has never been below 20%.

Dude hes like 5'9.  What do you honestly think hes going to be when hes on stage?  240-250 tops.

I like Candi, and at least what he says has some semblance of knowledge.  You are just dumb.

This is a serious thread, so all you comedians please take your jokes to the 4 dozen or so other Brewer threads.

HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING, suppose Trey Brewer came to you (Blockhead, Troponin, Derek Anthony, Disgusted, Alex A, or anyone else who does contest prep) today, and asked you to take over the rest of the prep for the Junior Nats and USA's.

What would you advise him to do? In terms of cardio, nutrition, and training, what would your advice be?

Serious academic thread here, so again no comedy please.


Hi Columbus..........Next time, write "this is a comic thread"....You will get the serious responses you were trying to get!!!! :-X   All kidding aside... ;)

Do you know anything about bodybuilding? Have you've been ultra shredded before? Have you won your category and an overall? If so post a pic of your ultra shredded physique. If you will not show respect to someone who knows how to get shredded without knowing how yourself how then obviously you aren't even in my category. I don't want to pick a fight with you, but as a bodybuilder I can educate a few people here and if you don't agree then say I don't agree, don't call me dumb because if we chose to compare physique you will lose, my word.

respectfully,




 Training: I wouldn't care as he can train himself. I'd just encourage him to keep his rest between sets no longer than 1 minute for anything upperbody and no more than 2 minutes for LEGS. i would say that his training should be exactly ho it has been the whole time. whatever is going to keep muscle at its highest level. no short rest set bull that will ave him losing muscle size.

 Diet:  I would have him eating a higher fats, consistent protein and low carb diet. Based on the pictures I've seen I'd tell him to have 5 SOLID meals a day and 1 LIQUID meal(post-workout) only. I would say he needs to eat every 90 minutes. more meals= more thermic effect of feeding= more fat burning. also, faster bmr.  (90 minutes is set because that is the shortest intervals possible without effecting digestion of previous meal)

 Gear: No androgens. Anabolics only. Mild. Never breaking over 1g/week.  More isn't better. I may even extend his life a little bit. Primo/winstrol/tren type of cocktail. I'd make him bring his gh down to 4-6iu's a day instead of 8-10iu's. I'd dump the T3 and DNP and see what plain ECA/clen 2 week ON and 2 week OFF does for him taking up to 140mcg of clen daily and ECA 2-3x's a day. Maybe.    testosterone at whatever doseage h has been using, tren at 1/3 doseage of testosterone, anadrol at whatever doseage he has used in the past, arimidex at 3 mg ed, t3 at 200 mcg ed, clen at at whatever he has used in the past, ephedrine at whatever he has used in the past , gh at whatever he has used in the past
 

 Good question.

Meal frequency and energy balance.

Bellisle F, McDevitt R, Prentice AM.
INSERM U341, Hotel Dieu de Paris, France.
Several epidemiological studies have observed an inverse relationship between people's habitual frequency of eating and body weight, leading to the suggestion that a 'nibbling' meal pattern may help in the avoidance of obesity. A review of all pertinent studies shows that, although many fail to find any significant relationship, the relationship is consistently inverse in those that do observe a relationship. However, this finding is highly vulnerable to the probable confounding effects of post hoc changes in dietary patterns as a consequence of weight gain and to dietary under-reporting which undoubtedly invalidates some of the studies. We conclude that the epidemiological evidence is at best very weak, and almost certainly represents an artefact. A detailed review of the possible mechanistic explanations for a metabolic advantage of nibbling meal patterns failed to reveal significant benefits in respect of energy expenditure. Although some short-term studies suggest that the thermic effect of feeding is higher when an isoenergetic test load is divided into multiple small meals, other studies refute this, and most are neutral. More importantly, studies using whole-body calorimetry and doubly-labelled water to assess total 24 h energy expenditure find no difference between nibbling and gorging. Finally, with the exception of a single study, there is no evidence that weight loss on hypoenergetic regimens is altered by meal frequency. We conclude that any effects of meal pattern on the regulation of body weight are likely to be mediated through effects on the food intake side of the energy balance equation.

I think people just need to simplify their approach and not sweat the small details. If they feel splitting up feedings over 4 meals instead of 8 fits their schedule and preferences better then go with that. People, even many great pro bodybuilders, have gotten shredded without going on a ridiculous 10 meal plan. Didn't Serge Nubret say he ate once a day only? That may not be optimal but shows that his metabolism didn't crash.
