i picked up the box of Raiders of the Lost Ark the other day for the first time in a decade and when i saw the cover picture with Indy extending his arm holding the whip i laughed out loud and thought 'haha monster triceps', as a kid i was under the impression that Indy was a pretty tough strong man but now all could do was laugh at the 13 inch arm they were emphasizing as if he were strong.

at least 100kg plus, if you count 10 reps or more.

a real getbigger wouldn't even start dipping without 200kg hanging from his erect penis.

LOL

Same with the old James Bond movies, i always thought James Bond was an elite athlete, now looking at Connery, Moore and the others except Craig you can just laugh about how unfit they look.

That's my goal.... :)

There you see how bad it looks, well not for the girls that is.

Well Debussey hat berechnet, dass ich bei 65kg etwa 9% KF haette, deswegen sage ich das.

spot on, that's why you should compare yourself to yourself and also you shouldn't laugh about the fact that most people think Brad Pitt and David Beckham are huge muscular guys.

If you're not competing, 99% of the population will say you're very muscular when you look like this:



Craig is on the sauce as well.

Of course I need more muscle but alles is step by step. One thing at a time. First get lean.

No, waste of time. Build muscle and lose fat by building muscle.

because for you every little tit is on the sauce, you probably look half as good as craig and need him on the sauce as an excuse for your shitty looks.

You won't lose fat by building muscle, the effect of a recompositioned body with more muscle but the same weight is insignificant as far as BMR goes.

It's a much better way to build muscle and do some cardio on the side to burn fat than to diet all the muscle away and then bulk it on again with some good fat gains.

I have never understood this claim:

Fat loss=hypocaloric diet
Muscle gain=hypercaloric diet

They are completely antithetical metabolic processes; muscle gain requires more than you burn and fat loss less.

Makes no sense to claim you can do both.

Your ability to burn fat while gaining muscle is independent of cardio. Generally, opinions vary on recomposition vs. bulk-cut cycles as far as speed of avarage progress goes.

Das Problem ist dass die meisten Leute von BB-Foren (einschließlich du anscheinend) so übersättigt sind mit Bildern von völlig künstlichen, bis unter die Schädeldecke vollgespritzen Körpern dass sie jeglichen Realitätsbezug verloren haben. Für dich sind die Top 6 vom Olympia-LineUp normale Menschen und jeder Andere ne Tiny Tit.

Rationell betrachtet könntest du dich mal im Schwimmbad umsehen wieviele Leute in Daniel Craigs Alter (40+) so einen Körper haben. ;)

Wenn du wüsstest wer aller stofft..... :)

Two topics mixed up. I think DK's original point was that generally it is an advantage to have a higher LBM for fat loss, regardless of how you get there. This effect is however insignificant as long as the total body weight is equal in the end.

The other topic is recompositioning diets. It is very well possible to recomp on maintenance intake or even gain muscle on a very slow cut. Most experts however believe bulk-cut cycles to be faster.

You can build muscle on a cut and you also can lose fat in a bulk.

For the first, cardio would be a problem i would say, for the second cardio is a good help.
