Did you actually do any kind of rehab work in your time off the gym to help fix what issues you may have?

Yes,

I avoided all exercise and ate lots of cakes

In all seriousness I did not do much, I tried a bit of core work, my physio reccomended that I try and sit up straighter at my desk (virtually iompossible to maintain though as soon as I start concentrating on something my form falls back to normal)

All the physio reccomended was some core work, he did show me some alternate exercises to what I am doing but I cannot honestly remember what they were

Dude - if you can't remember what they were, I suspect other people on here may be inclined to believe you weren't doing them.

Also, fixing my posture was one of the best things I ever did (sitting at desk, walking around, etc.) and gave me a much better awareness of where everything was/is during a lift.

You want to fix this, right?

This might sound like a douchebag post, but...

Why not take what you're eating and add more?

Hedge · 4 Jun 2013 at 14:54

Nah that's a fine post but I'm not actually happy with what I'm eating anyway. I read a supposed diet thatthe rock was oin for that pain and gain. It looks pretty straightforward but I ain't too keen on cod which he seemed to have eaten a lot of.

I'll just do some googling myself I just thought some of the big guys on here might follow something.

To be fair, MoNkeE's suggestion does sound epic for dreamer bulking.

I suspect it's just as much to do with their training and time in the gym,

Hedge · 4 Jun 2013 at 14:55

Sorry for some words merging etc I'm posting quick from my phone.

Hedge · 4 Jun 2013 at 15:01

I calculated I need 2850 calories to maintain weight so I'm assuming adding 400 calories per day would give me a base to gain from then. I'm 6ft3 and around 100kg.

LiE · 4 Jun 2013 at 15:22

Add more fats which is easy. Some nuts, 2 avocado and 3 table spoons oil is like 1.3k cals.

A diet wasn't all he was on.

Oh make no mistake I wasn't, I did tell him what I was doing and he said they were ok and offered me some alternative ones, I was in pain for a few days afterwards so did nothing, then just continued doing what I was doing.

I'll be perfectly honest though I haven;t done huge amounts of rehab as it all leads to more pain, I have just avoided doing pretty much anything most of the time and my back does seem to be improving a little, then earlier I carried 2 boxes of printer paper up the stairs and it has started to ache a little again so guess it's still pretty far from ok

LiE · 4 Jun 2013 at 15:27

Isn't Hedge on dat der?

MoNkeE · 4 Jun 2013 at 15:35

No you're thinking of Wedge.

LiE · 4 Jun 2013 at 15:36

Wedge, Hedge, they all sound the same...

We need a roiders roll call

I'm a big believer in just getting the food in, especially when I'm trying to furiously add mass. It's pretty simple given the parameters of CBL, but the same meals and snacks could be added to any diet.

Just eat brah, it doesn't need to be complicated

Unless you like structure and strict macro counting, in which case there are a few guys on here that follow a similar approach.

Eating to gain is the easiest thing in the world, I can't see how anyone struggles. Cost is probably the toughest part for some people I guess.

Erich Kriegler · 4 Jun 2013 at 17:19

Anyone do skipping for HIIT? What sort of intervals do you use?

O lawd. I missed this brilliance.

What exactly do you mean by fully natural? Are you on protein shakes?

I mean not on roids and no.

mrthingyx said:
I didn't see it. And - to be blunt - I can't believe what has been written,

Nate: Do you want to understand precisely what is happening to you? Or do you want to keep posting a dizzying array of stuff that doesn't really make any sense at all?

I know how it works, it's the only supplement worth taking.

Leave him alone, he can see things clearer now, he can work problems out quicker. It's like he is on a higher plane than you, another level. You're not on creatine, you wouldn't understand.

It's true http://www.predatornutrition.com/en/content/can-creatine-make-you-smarter/.

Ultra_Extreme said:
Oh god its another vegan.

Vegans cant gain, period. Gains come from things that bleed and scream and suffer.

No gains ever came from a plant, fact.

Are you serious?...

Has to be a troll. No one can be that stupid by accident.
