no carbs after 7 is an older rule. not going to go into all the ins and outs or the pros and cons to it now as I dont have the time.

plenty of professionals follow the rule (maybe not power lifters) and I am talking fighters, wrestlers, actors prior to shoots, etc.

No carbs after 7pm? Gain muscle? Fcking lol. You really think your body knows what time you're eating???

Screw fasting... I love food.

Just train more

My opinion exactly, nothing wrong with eating after 7pm if you are trying to build muscle. Especially if you only just finished at the gym, you definently need to get food into you.

This information is for those overweight and are carb sensitive.

They should not eat processed carbs before bed

Those trying to gain muscle should be eating every 3 hours at least

Ant Tom, for the fatties, the body might not know what time it is (it does), but it does know if you need fuel for energy, and if it doesnt, it just stores the carbs for when it does............as fat.

So while some of the information posted is accurate, typicaly, not all of it is

As you mentioned though, this applies mostly for endomorphs trying to lose weight.

If you're a gym going guy trying to gain size, you're cheating yourself if you try to limit your carb intake to earlier on in the day.

Personally I don't get back from the gym until around 9.30-10pm on most days, so late at night is one of the most important times for my nutrition.

Can't beat a big glass of milk before bed.

So I take it you train people at your gym with powerlifting techniques to help them lose weight?

If so, that changes it up from the norm quite a bit as all everyone else does is high rep ranges and circuit type work.

Great question.

Here is what I do when I get new clients tell me they want to exercise to lose weight.

I get Max and the fattest client in the gym, Dave or Spiros etc

I explain they both train exactly the same, now do you think its the exercise or what they stick in their mouth?

Exercise burns around 500 calories an hour BUT if you walk or jog, once you stop your metabolic rate drops back to normal pretty much straight away, if youve been doing HEAVY resistance work it can stay elevated for hours, thus burning more calories

While all exercise is catabolic, heavy resistance training can promote an anabolic experience if provided with food straight after training, walking and jogging cant because you havent put enough load on your muscles.

Thats why squats are more effective than 10 isolation exercises done in the same workout, but the dumbest comment belongs to those that do exercises to "shape" a muscle. Idiots. You cant change your muscle insertions.

You listen to clowns saying preacher curls hits the lower bicep while concentration curls builds the peak. f**k I laugh when I hear that.

Someone please post up a pic of Arnold doing a double bicep. His right bicep is peaky while his left is long, I guess he trained each arm differently lol

I could go on for hours

For those interested I now write articles for Ironedge, read them here if you like

I'm also doing similar. Dropping about 7kg over 3 or 4 months to drop in to the lower division to have direct competition as there are about 3 others with similar lifts and age and height etc.

Have you found your sessions difficult at all with the changes in your diet/drop of weight? Lifting around the same or less?

I'm doing compound lifts right now with a slight diet alteration to cut bodyfat (yes I want to get a bit more ripped for summer) <-- lol-worthy but true

It isn't lol worthy, do what makes you happy. I'll cut in a month or so for about 4 weeks, dgaf what people think tbh.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
