does getbig pretty much agree that the "eat big to get big" principle is a joke?

[anabolichalo]

even on roids you shouldnt eat too much unless you want to be a fat girl?

just train hard, shoot roids and get a lot of protein in

?

Any Principle Johnny Falcone writes, I follow and implement.

Wouldn't agree on "Eat Big to Get Big" though.

Look at Go4It.

[The Revelation]

everybody eats way to many cals.

your body will more effciently use the cals you give them if you eat considerably less, rather than considerably more.

thats why you dont see many impressive physiques walking around off season- everyones been drinking the kooliad supplement companies have been selling for decades regarding the amounts of cals you need to grow lean tissue, and protein requirements.

eh... protein has kcals as well.

you take in 500g protein/day, that's 2000kcals right there.

and how much is 'too much'?

every body is different. even your own body won't always respond the same each time.

and.... well.... wait..... eat big to get big is a joke??? do you seriously have any idea what kind of FOOD INTAKE is required to "get big"  what is considered "big" on a small frame, 250 requires me to stuff my fucking face till i'm sick ALLLLL day long..... have you ever seen a "big guy" 270-310 ever WITHOUT a bowl of food? fuck no...

this is complete bullshit.

if you believe you can eat like a normal person and be "big"... that all you gotta do is workout and shoot roids, then have fun being no more than 10-15lbs heavier than the average guy in the supermarket, because that's all you'll ever be.

Your body fat rate should be your guideline, keep it 8-10%

You do need to eat big, but some guys do over do it and eat shitty food, then they wonder why they're so fat.

more food doesnt equal better gains in terms of lean tissue accumulation.

[cephissus]

this is an age old debate, and there doesn't seem to be any wide agreement

on the one hand you have guys like zack khan saying he only eats 4500 calories a day in full off-season, inhuman 300+ lbs mode

on the other you have go 4 it, who eats 4500 calories for breakfast while being 150 lbs after taking a dunk in the aft pool

True. But I believe this guy is going for records so he actually has an excuse. He carries a lot of mass under that fat.

Here is a year ago when he was leaner. Sorry for the homo.

yes but whats your point, this is not answering any questions for bodybuilders


we all know eating a lot makes you fat and strong


but the question is what is the merit of doing so for bodybuilders


i think there isnt any

Well the obvious answer is it depends on the person and their metabolism. Some people do need to eat big to get big.

But you're talking about how to bulk. Lean bulk vs moderate bulk vs going ham like lee priest in the off season.

Yes getting fat in bodybuilding is stupid. But of course you have to bump up your calories if you want to put on mass.

[local hero]

no one has ever been an advanced weight without eating advanced cals, end of discussion....
