Oh, didn't know the MSM was hitting up the forums - gender equality?

casein protein mixed with water (partially frozen) + a good amount of blueberries and/or cherries.

Shrug. I said earlier I view it as a compromise of sorts between 2 camps. The 100% fasted workout vs the fed-state camp. 12-16oz of liquid pre-workout isn't much.

That said, I usually don't...

He has some protocols where people eat 1 or 2 meals pre-workout, but the PWO is still the largest meal.

I surf 3x/week and 1 gym day (Pullups, Dips, Squat, DL, Bench) for the most part. Rest...

Pre-workout meal
Depends on your workout timing and such, I'll go as far as...

If you can eat over 100g of carbs in strictly vegetables (not including pseudo veggies, ala corn/tomatoes)......

.......gross.

Stay away from take-out chinese - too much soybean oil and MSG.

Any fast-food burger place is decent(remove buns for yourself). KFC has that double-down grilled chicken + bacon + cheese, which...

To the OP regarding your friend:

Fuck him.

Agree, but the comparison isn't apt, should be hypergamy vs polygamy, or social/physical dominance vs physical attractiveness. Not social/phys dominance vs polygamy. Different things.

Think he answered that:

"The point is insulin isn't all the matters when it comes to fat loss, calories are. "

So true...the smarter men realize that what women say that want != what they really want

Assuming you listen to them anyway ;).

Hm. I believe my situation is somewhat near your's, except I like to eat a lot at night now (as opposed to morning for you).

Anyway, I had a problem controlling hunger, similar to what you...

Was he going at you 100%?

Or was he not enraged at his friend, and sparring for fun...as opposed to wanting to beat the crap out of his competitor (as per boxing or MMA or what have you)?

Not...

Yeah, decades of giving fathers the shaft in the family courts will do that.

Don't fret though, our mainstream media provides plenty of great masculine role models for our young boys, now who...

The pull-out method is highly effective as well: "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coitus_interruptus"

Perhaps not 100% favorable but...hey, its effective and been in use for much longer than any other form...

Its tough, perhaps impossible, to convince vegetarians (or normal people) about the role cholesterol/saturated fat has in our bodies. You're going up against decades of conventional wisdom and, dare...

Is there any purpose to this other than testing how steely your stomach is?

Coconut oil. Butter tastes TOO good so I seriously can eat a stick of it a night.

Oh, and one more thing: 80/20 rule. :)

Btw - because you are debating this with a PhD and are being judged by a nutritionist/Med student -

Addressing his points:

1) Dietary/saturated fat & cholesterol
Here's a good article that has many references:

Also, I'd like to...

Al - Are all of your sessions bodyweight? (First time looking at your blog, so forgive my unfamiliarity) Rather, did you do bodyweight exercises primarily to get where you are?

I've been teetering...

Hm - this isn't a gender (testicular?) thing at all. Most people have a hard time being force-fed an ideology that differs from their current, no matter the topic.

Few thoughts on the matter:

Mind if I Primal Leap in for a quick set of Clean & Jerks? And I'll need you to spot my Muscle-Up form if you don't mind.
