5000 cal a day seems excessive. Im around the same size as the young man, though much older, and I need a baseline 2300 cal a day plus whatever I burn during training, which in powelifitng I understand to be around 300 to 500 cals per session, afterburn included. So my bulking intake is around 3k cals per day and my recovery is fine, considering Im an intermediate, middle aged, natural lifter doing 3 barbell sessions plus 2 or 3 gpp sessions per week Maybe the kid is enhanced and training lifts twice a day everyday, but even then, 4k should be enough. How did they arrive at the 5k solution?
I walk upwards of 10 miles a day and lift weights, i have no trouble gaining weight whatsoever. Rip just gaslights and lies to people about the weight gaining thing.
@@3ncore706 thats around 3 hours of walking, at my weight that costs around 500 cal per hour, so you must be eating around 4k mark at least, lucky you lol
He is obviously exagerating to make a point.. if you aim for 5000kcal then you damn sure are not undereating, so failing to him 5000kcal .ade you hit 3000kcal or 4000kcal or so.. more than maintenance anyway
I remember when I saw a picture of Ronnie Coleman when he was at his best seated at the dinner table across his wife and smiling at the meal he was about to eat... Dieting meal I suppose, a little meat, vegetables... They purposely keep us in dark about amounts and quality of what we should eat to grow.
I wish I was able to afford that much food. The only time you’ll get away with it is when you’re a teenager. Eating 5000 calories in mid 30’s/early 40’s is setting yourself up for a one way ticket straight to the boneyard.
That isn't true. I'm eating 5000+ calories a day. I'm working out using starting strength. I'm also, nearly, 37. I'm still losing weight at 6'1" at 210 lbs...
Stats 6'1" 209.3 lb Nearly 37 years old Starting Strength NLP 5000+ calories a day I went from carnivore to animal based and added raw milk and raw honey. On carnivore, I lost 67 lbs from 272 lbs in 101 days I started animal based two weeks ago. I had an initial water gain of four pounds in a couple of days. I'm still, slowly, losing weight at 5000+ calories a day...
@@SogardBritannia I did and it screwed up everything. I'm back up to 241 lbs because I added carbs. Carbs are the devil. I've given it a legit try and carbs aren't meant for normal human consumption...
More bad advice from the Bloat Lord. People over estimate how much muscle they put on. Most of the gain is blubber. No one said you need to be 6% body fat, but you definitely can be in the sub 20% year round. Stop normalizing fat guts.
I love Rip but it's simply a fact that he is awful at interrupting and talking over his guests. I always look forward to Starting Strength Radio on Fridee but to be honest if I see he's got a guest on my heart sinks because I know I'm just going to hear Rip talk the person's ear off. @@kobemop
@@Outagetme23 That's cute and everything but I'm a cruiserweight boxer on the side and I have to make weight so you're probably right but I couldn't care less about being 255lb at 5'11. I'm strong and muscular enough for my goals.
@@SK-2ill Yeah 200lb at 6' is quite healthy as a muscular athlete. Pretty much my size (I'm an inch shorter than you are). I got up to 262lb before just eating everything and I got very strong but my cardiovascular fitness wasn't great and my blood pressure, although not alarming was slightly elevated. I could deadlift 250kg for 3 sets of 3, squat 210kg for 3 sets of 5. I was decently strong without any kind of structured program but at what cost?
Allegedly you are a boxer not a football player. So why be on this forum that doesn’t apply to you. Nobody gives a flying fuck about your weight. The boy plays a different sport and is obviously trying to play college ball
