Hello
I was wondering if any of you guys are serious into bodybuilding or athlethics. Im into lifting weights and looking great with some good amount of muscle like Brad Pitt in Troja or like an model or fitness model.
So my main goal is to build some muscle and loose fat.
Would be really cool if others on this forum following RP`s diet advice managed to do the same and could share their experiences with it.
In terms of my questions are these.
1. What have you found as an optimal workout frequency for building muscle? there is so much disussions out there in the fitness industry some claiming overtraining are easy to achieve some say its impossible. Some say low volume/frequency and high intensity are key to building muscle like say working out 3 times a week just hitting 1 muscle one time a week, then there are som saying you have to hit it 2-3 times a week etc.
What have been your guyses experience? based on building muscle, health, thyroid and everything.
2. In terms of nutrition there is alot of stuff there as well. Esp in regards to protein. I know RP says one never needs more then 150g a day, then there are some saying for lean people that workout and want to loose bodyfat you need as much as 3.1g/lean body mass in kg. Then there are some that say you only need 80-120grams.
What has been your experience with all this?
Maybe i forgot something more but fire away with what you have learned along the way and also provide pictures if you can
