An old trainer trick: When you get a new client/athlete, ask him what he's been doing in the gym as far as exercises, sets, reps, and splits go. Then, do the opposite with him. Chances are the change will reignite his progress.
"You have to get bigger because you can’t flex bone." If you can feel bone in your upper arms, shoulders, upper legs and lats, then yes, you need to gain some fast mass!
• The obesity rate of the Amish is 4%. The obesity rate of the rest
of the US population is 26%.
The Amish typically eat a higher fat diet (bacon, eggs, butter) although
they're obviously not driving their buggies though the Burger King
drive-through often. So what's the main reason for this discrepancy? The
answer is NEAT: Non-exercise activity thermogenesis.
In other words, the Amish simply move around a lot more. The average
adult Amish male takes about 18,000 steps per day. The typical American
male takes 7000 or fewer (and women take only around 5000.)
"Our cells are little factories which rely on proteins as machinery
(not to mention all the signaling peptides in the endocrine and
paracrine systems). increasing protein intake increases whole body
protein turnover, including organ tissue which processes these
nutrients. so limiting protein to minimal need, limits the replacement
of the cellular apparatus which performs the work.
Oddly enough, like real machinery, cellular machinery wears out.
reactive oxidative species and all. so this would be rate of aging
increasing. which means you are dying faster. obviously the system as a
whole will be less productive and unable to replace or repair machinery
at optimal levels.
So in summary, eat less protein, die faster..."
