I guess he really wanted to smell what the Rock was cooking
>anecdotal, likely unreliable account of what happened
I don't think he consistently ate 5300 calories
CICO is gay bullshit for fags.
Why do CICO fags automatically assume all or most weight gained goes to your muscles?
Muscles don't need calories, they need protein.
If muscles need calories to grow, why can't they get them from body fat reserves?

Doubt he actually at 5300 calories. It just proves that he sucks at math
>>36414546
he should've tried lifting...
Most obvious roid monkey I ever met was surrounded by people begging him for fitness/diet advice.
He told them, "the ONLY thing that matters is how many calories you consume."
He had people thinking the reason they weren't as big as him was because they didn't permabulk. ("How come we weigh the same but I'm fat and you're lean and muscular?")
Oh by the way, his diet consisted of 99% chicken breast and vegetables, he consumed 300+g protein/day and he cut using PSMF.
You know, while telling people calories matter.
>>36414643
He was in a caloric surplus. You know how I know that? He gained a pound in a month. In fact that is the only real way to know you are in a caloric surplus or deficit, not tracking your shit on MFP or whatever and some inaccurate online BMR estimator. Your body processes different types of calories in different ways. It's what your body does with the calories that matters, not how many you consume.
>>36414679
The pound was probably water weight
>>36414546
B-but you don't understand, 500 calories of french fries will have the same effect on my body as 500 calories of steak and eggs :^)
>>36414679
yep, I agree with you. What's your point?
>>36414728
>implying french fries have similar macros to steak and eggs
>>36414679
Doesn't mean he was in a huge caloric surplus only because he was eating 5300 calories, don't you remember michael phelps and his 12000 calories?

He documented all his meals and workouts. He also worked out six days a week, doing an hour of cardio and over an hour of lifting. He gained a bit of muscle and lost a bit of fat while eating a moderate caloric surplus of a diet high in protein and low in carbs. I don't really see why anyone's having trouble believing this.

>>36414785
My point is that this doesn't make sense to most people because the guy didn't put on 10 lbs or whatever of fat and maybe 2 of muscle like he "should" have and that the reason he could eat so much and not look like shit afterwards was because of the nutrient composition of his diet. While people who eat like 2300 calories of pizza a day are either fat or skinny fat.
>>36414818
Are you implying he burned 2000+ calories via exercise alone? Phelps is an Olympic level athlete who is probably on drugs (I'm not sure whether swimmers juice or not but if it's like any other top level sport I should assume yes) who spent the majority of his waking hours exercising. While the redditor exercised quite a lot, it wasn't near Micheal Phelps level
>>36414624
>he doesn't want to leave humanity behind
>>36414852
>it wasn't near Micheal Phelps level
He also wasn't eating as much as michael phelps.
How did he only gain one pound while eating 5k calories?
>>36414850
He ate like 563 g of carbs a day. I would hardly call it low carb
>>36414546
dude looks like he has fetal alcohol syndrome
>>36414546
Calories in/calories out only works in theory. Obviously if you eat better food you will make more gains.
>>36414874
cardio, that's why he still looks like shit
>>36414655
So you're telling me he counted calories and got cut as fuck eating at a massive deficit? Tell me more!
>>36414965
This. If you take out the hour of cardio his surplus would have been enormous and he would have gained a lot more fat
>>36414546
So basically what you're telling me is energy is not conserved and everything we know about the universe is wrong.
Glad some pseudo-scientist on some blog was here to tell me that.
>>36415518
An hour of elliptical does not burn that many calories
>>36415554
An hour on an elliptical burns maybe what, 700 calories? Certainly not that much.
>>36415554
Depends on his cadence. If he sets a high pace and maintains it for the hour he will use more energy than an hour of training
>>36414546
if he did it again and cut the cardio he'd grow so much more
doesnt help hes following the routine of an obvious roider
>>36414546
Why is he standing so confidently in the second picture? Does he really think he looks any different? Pathetic.
>>36414852
>nutrient composition
Are you actually implying that I can eat a shit ton of "clean" foods and it wouldn't matter??
>>36414546
How can someone eat that many clean calories but gain, so, so little muscle mass.
>>36414800

>>36414579
Under fucking rated. Kek'd breh
>>36414850
Was he not exercising at all prior to this diet?
>>36414604
you can actually
I lifted for around 4 months as a skelly doing a retarded brosplit without eating at a surplus and I built a lot of muscle (from no pullups to 6 / from 5 chinups to 14)
that came from somewhere, pls don't tell me I gained muscle from proteins and lost fat at the same time because that's retarded
after this shit I noticed that my thighs were really, really lean, there was no fat at all, and that's pretty much the first spot bodies store fat.
so I drew the conclusion that the fat from my thighs fueled the muscle growth in the torso
Where the fuck are his arms?
His chest?
He looks like a skelly that has been bulking for a couple of months, if that. He only incline benches 150 at 6'3 210lbs, and I bench 180lb after doing SS for 3 months on a slight surplus of +300 calories starting from 110lbs.
And apparently his maintenance calories are 5300? I understand he is 6'3 and 210lbs, but I doubt doing a lifting routine and an hour of cardio every now and then would make your TDEE that much.
this is bullshit. everyone gains muscle from lifting weights. it literally has to happen
>>36414546
>following meme programs
>posting 30 day progress pics which could go right to left or vice versa and no one would know
Why is everyone so fucking scared of putting in work?
>>36416159
if this was posted by a powerlift fag the order would be reversed and still considered progress
That doesn't even make sense. I put his stats into scooby's TDEE calculator and it says with 5-6 hours of strenuous exercise a week his TDEE should be 3500
>>36414557

$1200 spent on food. $300 per week haha. That guy can't count or measure properly though. 5300 calories is hard to eat, especially of that stuff claimed.

Yeah, if you set it as 7-21hrs it's still under 4000. It's total bullshit, just like most things on reddit, but of course it's upboated like hell and anyone who doubts him is banned. I can't actually believe people use that site unironically. And the layout is absolute trash

Yeah, that makes sense. I was cutting with something similar last year and even eating at my usual maintenance left me feeling like shit.

Enjoy that mercury poisoning. The EPA considers anything above 0.1 mcg per kg per day to be unsafe. He is eating 1.74 mcg per kg per day. That's right, he is consuming 17 times the recommended amount of a notoriously toxic substance. This is why you don't follow meme diets.

kill yourself
all this proves is the effectiveness of a body recomposition.
the rock is just laughing his ass off at the exposure he's getting out of this cuck using his bulking diet and putting 500% effort into something that doesn't return even half the effort.
This guy looks like he had no prior history of even minor physical activity. That's 37 years of no exercise followed by one month of a meme regiment that the Rock was forced to bullshit for a magazine article. Then when the guy actually started the diet, Rock basically tweeted out "lel don't really try it faget, you know i'm really on a shit-ton of insulin + a small fortune of designer PEDS + my perfectly legal and prescribed testosterone replacement treatments" And yet mr bean here actually wasted all that time and $$ for nogains.

Yes, that would be called "calories out"
>>36415660
Facepalm.

>>36414604
>If muscles need calories to grow, why can't they get them from body fat reserves?
caloric surplus is the single biggest signaller for muscle growth in the entire body.
without the caloric surplus trying to build muscle is pretty much redundant, not entirely redundant, but mostly -- especially for a natty.
you can't have a caloric surplus and also be pulling most of your calories from fat, as you can probably infer, as fat doesn't cough up calories without a caloric deficit to stimulate it.

I agree. He may be 37 but im 32 and I guarantee you you can look better than that in a month. The diet was bullshit and why the fuck did he get up at 5am?? Fucking sleep fool. And hour and a half lifting and 40 mins cardio five days a week will produce better results. You don't have to eat 5000 call. 2500 to 3000 with plenty of protein and your done. This guy is an idiot and bragging about it on reddit where they lap it up is the ultimate in web 2.0 fitness community circlejerk
