Well carbohydrates should have a higher ratio compared to protein post-workout so hes right. Dextrose is a simple sugar, and essentially glucose which is what all sugar eventually breaks down to so in theory everything he says is correct.
Now the effectiveness of it DURING a workout is debatable, but the idea behind his logic is solid.
Also, it appears as though ill be going to grad school in the fall for exercise science. Pretty excited about it.

Just read an article by my favorite author/entrepreneur. He added 30+ lbs of muscle in 30 days no steroids.
Method? Bench, Deadlift, Squat.
and a bunch of scientific @$++.

Gatorad3 & Laced up I peeped the progress pics and you dudes is getting there. Nice work.
Gatorad3 I just peeped the MGN link and it's pretty comparable to Optimum Nutritions 100% Natural whey...I might get couple...thanks
I gotta get some questions answered, help me out..
So I'm doing a cycle between muscle building and strength training...right now i'm still in the muscle building phase for another month and a half and while i'm trying to gain muscle I really want to be able to reduce the 3-4 lbs of midsection fat especially on the lower abs and love handles...so...
- Should I do more cardio ( which I heard can be detrimental to muscle building) or should I reduce my carbs (which helps facilitate muscle building) for my carbs I eat bananas, organic potatoes, organic pasta, honey nut cherrios, white rice, beans & rice, garbanzo (chic peas) which are what I eat mostly everyday....Which one should I modify?
- what can help me get that cut near the hips that helps give you that bottom V look. I really want that and is overall fat reduction the only way?
appreciated.

maaaaaaan. I've been following this guy for two years now and seriously look up to him completely. I know that if there is a scientific method to achieve this that isn't widely understood then he'd be the guy to test it out. Furthermore I'd be the one to believe him. He doesn't get into much detail at all and after reading the comment section I'm still unsure. He makes great points and advice but.... you are absolutely right ahah.
Actually, as the story goes, he wrote the blog post "two years ago" but didn't post until his book was released and he was in media attention. That's pretty fishy in itself

---I should also mention. The blog post does have some relevancy to his book. He goes into major detail about "parkinsons law".
I bet he is using this idea of workingout 20% of the regular amount and getting 80% results. It's sort of promoting the book and maybe his flaw was in assuming none of his readers knew a thing about muscle. His "crazy phenomenon" could be used a media attnetion and leverage to the whole lifestyle design outline in the book.
that said, still the best book i've ever read.

what school Durden?
Bloomsburg University. Its a PA state school. Still waiting to hear back from Penn State, but I dont know if I would even go there if I got accepted.
^W000000t. I was thinking about changing my major to exercise biology...I really don't want to deal with O-chem though....=\
Ive never taken it, but I hear that O-Chem is wicked difficult. Ive never heard someone say anything close to otherwise.
Woah, First off, THANK YOU for replying to everything I asked Durden.
B.I was told to have a protein shake when I wake up with breakfast andone post workout with dinner. So I was planning on splitting it. Ireally don't know much about Nutrition and such so I just figured itwas always a positive.
C. I didn't see yourpost until now and copped a whole bunch of stuff today because myconnect had a goooood discount this week. I got:
- Isopure No Carb 100% Whey Protein
- NO-Xplode
- Vitamin World Daytime/Nighttime Daily Cleanse
- Elite Training Packs: Comes with Multivitamins + Omega 3, 6, 9 Fish Oil
Is it safe to take all this?
D.The whole concept I guess. Like a piece of bread or 6 slices of TurkeyEtc. Could you possibly tell me how many calories I consumed today?
Morning: 2 whole eggs, 2 egg whites, banana
Snack: Apple, String Cheese
Lunch: Turkey Sandwich: 2 wheat bread slices, 6 turkey slices, 1 pickle
Dinner: Salad with beef strips. 1 Chicken Breast. NonFat Ranch with both
I will be eating like that everyday but will be adding the Protein Shakes.
WORKOUT:
So the fullbody is Monday and it is everything in that youtube link posted. And then,
Tuesday: Chest
Wednesday: Bi's, Tri's
Thursday: Shoulders
Friday: Back
Satuday: Legs
Sunday: Rest
Thereis no motivation behind it but this is all I know. I guess I taughtthis workout to myself. I like going by the book and would love if Ifound a good cutting workout routine on bodybuilding.com but it is toohard to find. That is why I loved P90X. Everything was told to me stepby step on what to do. I've also never jump roped before so still needto get the rhythm. I didn't know I COULD drop the running. There is somuch stuff I am ill informed about.Yet still manage to get results.
Thanksagain Durden and don't worry I will not give up this time. Beenactually going consistent for a while but just mess up on diet (mostimportant part) but this time I'm not bs'in.
iLLest!
Youd be better off finding a source of real food to eat in the morning instead of that shake. A PB sandwhich, some peanuts, cereal... something thats actually food but is similar nutrition-wise. If the post-workout shake is WITH dinner youre better off just not taking the shake. If theres an open-time frame in between the workout and dinner its alright, but if youre eating dinner shortly after exercising dont bother taking the shake.
Theres nothing "wrong" with taking the Training Pack and protein. Youve obviously seen the effects of the NO-Xplode so youre aware of what it does. Just be careful what time you take it or else itll keep you jittery and up for awhile.
Those meals come to ROUGHLY 1500 calories. Without knowing the size/amount of each item its just under 1500 kcals. With the protein shakes and adjusted for sizes of food, the actual amount of calories can be anywhere from 1800-2200. (Rough estimate in my head)
Its alright to not be totally informed about everything. Its best to figure things out on your own. Take advice from mutiple sources (preferably from "credible" sources). Compare what different people say and figure out why theyre saying it. Take all the knowledge in that you can and figure out what makes the most sense to you.

Not too unbelievable. If you look at results from beginner strength programs like Rippetoe's Starting Strength or Bill Starr's 5x5, you'll see similar(maybe not as drastic in as short a time, but crazy nonetheless) results. It's not uncommon for an untrained individual to make giant "newbie gains" while on a well constructed program. I've heard of 30-50 lb gains from SS + GOMAD in 2-6 months. Crazy results that most wouldn't believe are possible without steroids. But those people tend to be very underweight to begin with. The before pictures of Tim Ferris make him seem very untrained, meaning that he could gain relatively easy. Maybe he had muscle memory? Who knows. He's a great author, but he doesn't tend to tell the whole truth when talks about certain things.Originally Posted by DCAllAmerican

He did write a great book though. I saw that post a few weeks ago after I finished his book. Interesting concepts. I saw his link to that study. It seemed very fishy though. He is right when he says that many people underestimate rest, especially when they begin. Don't just jump from absolutely no training into training 5-6 times a week. A great way to burn out quick.

So I just found some before pics from December - January i think:
Like I said, I was around 190+ during that time.
And here was the new pics I posted:
When you look at your before pics and then your after pics and you see all the progress and you think about all the blood, sweat and tears you've put in and it's just so motivating and satisfying
