most bodybuilding diets are set up for maximum growth while adding zero fat
but there is something to be said for a diet which is set up for maximum growth without worrying about fat gains
id like to see some articles differentiating the two, arnold
Sorry, there is no such thing as "Maximum Growth" while adding zero body fat.
Yes, you can train and eat right and gain lean muscle tissue, but in terms of "Maximum Growth" this isn't possible, even with AAS.
I'll give you this info about these outlines.
In the beginners section, when it comes to the diet itself, it is designed with these purposes first and foremost.
1. learning how to eat properly
2. learning how to utilize nutrients to their full benefit
3. learning proper meal planning.
4. learning what works best for you, because there is no diet on earth that is perfect for every person
Yes, this diet does focus on gaining muscle mass, but it's primary focus is learning how to do it the correct way, learning how to do it without putting on more body fat then needed. A lot of people don't realize how detrimental the excess fat is to their bodybuilding goals in the long run.
There is also a section for the hard gainer but it is strongly emphasized that many who think they are hard gainers are not; they are simply doing things incorrectly and when they start eating like a hard gainer they end up making things worse then they should be.
It pretty much covers the whole spectrum very thoroughly. A lot of guys would be far better off if they took a step back and began on a beginners diet like this...because most do not have a good handle on the 4 things I mentioned above.
The beginners training section as well, many would be far better suited to step back to this level of training.
So many people jump into higher levels of training and diet before they are ready, way before they have mastered the basics. And it's a shame because the basics are more important then anything else. People lack patience, which is the name of the game if you're going to do it right. And when I say a lot of people I am talking about "MOST" people. I'd bet my life on it that less then 25% of people do things correctly and move at the proper speed when it comes to taking their training and diet into more advanced levels...maybe even less then 10% of people.
As a trainer myself, I'd say well over half my business comes from people who have been working out and trying to eat right for at least a year or longer...I'm talking about both bodybuilders and regular Joe's. And the other half who don't come, they're the ones with too much pride, most of them anyway. So they continue to do things the wrong way, making very slow progress, slower then it should be if any is made at all. They gain less muscle then they have to, they gain more fat then they should, they do everything wrong simply out of pride.
