      To quote Proffesor Ben Bikman "you can not store fat if insulin is low" if you understand that, then there is absolutely no reason to count calories.
      You can eat all the fat and protein you want and not put on one single gram of fat.

    Damn, what a great video Thomas! Thank you so much for always compressing all that knowledge these great nuggets!
    Here are my taweaways:
    1) Don't overstress with daily calories but be keep a track of daily intakes to evaluate weekly balance;
    2) Hypertrophy checklist: intense workouts; ensure enough protein and calories; prefer nutrient dense foods; then fill the rest with either mostly carbs or fat;
    3) Training volume below MRV (maximum recoverable volume) but still above minimum threshold to trigger protein synthesis.
    4) Train fasted on your strongest muscles and train fed on your lacking muscles, to have the best benefits of both.
    5) Add 5-10 g of collagen to your post workout shake whey for enhanced protein synthesis;
    6) Increase creatine intake up to 10-15 g/day
    7) Invest more time on the sauna and less on the treadmill, especially at the end of the workout
    8) No food 3h before bed for improved sleep and maximum recovery;
    9) Move more during the day with random activities (fidgeting);
    10) Once every 10-14 days, do a protein fast where you eat lean protein with leafy vegetables to get close to 0 carbs and fat for fat burning while ensuring protein for protein synthesis

    I have been tracking my heart at sleep for a while now and comparing it to the last time I ate. If my last meal is 3.5-4 hrs before bed, my heart rate will be in the upper 50s low 60s. However if I eat between 2-3 hrs before bed, my heart rate will be in 70s for the first couple of hours of sleep. This also correlates to the amount of deep sleep and light sleep I get per night. Definitely a big believer in timing your meals and sleep.

    No Offense Bro! but Nutrient Quality Trumps all!! It is a major thing that accounts for why some muscular looking individuals who otherwise appear fit and healthy end up struggling with poor blood markers and poor cardiometabolic health as assessed by their bllood markers, whether it be Apo B, blood pressure, HBA1C, Liver Enzymes, etc., These people focus too much on protein intake , and crazy bouts of resistant training at the expense of everything else. Some say, I can pull this off with flexible dieting so that proves micro nutrient quality is not important. It’s all about macros whereever you get them from. Micro nutrient quality based on foods consumed becomes especially important when your risk of age related physical and mental decline increases due to the aging process itself. I would sooner prioritize cardiometabolic health if I could not hit that sweet spot(i.e., balance between both) than end up looking like jacked up gym bro just to impress people if at the expense of seriously sc^ewing myself cardiometabolic wise.

These guys understand the importance of carbs rest and recovery, and they don't talk up keto and cardio,and 36 hour fasts over the basics.the basics worked 50 years ago and they work now

    I have an 8 week old baby and three other kids. Two are older but the older of the young ones is two. My sleep is not great but not horrible. Should i be training daily or focus more on my diet with protein, and train when i can. I've been weight lifting as i can, completely random depending on how clingy my baby is that day. I do similar workouts when i do workout though.

    • @Axiomatic75
      @Axiomatic75 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      But you'll always be lean. 5lbs a year for 4-5 years equals a lot of muscle. It took me 6-7 years to go from around 110-115 lbs to 149lbs (I'm only 5'6) but I'm always under 10% body fat without even trying to be lean. I think being a bit of an ectomorph is a blessing actually (if you work out)
