oh yeah, also someone told me that you can realistically only put on about 9 or 10 lbs of actual muscle in a full year of hard training. is this true?

Train them like any other muscle.  But you must vary the training.
There are some specific refinements to training them..make sure you train them seated and standing. 
Make sure you vary the training on them.

No. 

It varies based on many different factors.  I have seen others do more.  I have done much more.  But you would be hard pressed to reach your genetic potential any time soon and so go for it and simply ignore these numbers.    Whatever you set your sights on...you can attain.  (within some reason)

cool, thanks dan so far in 3 weeks ive gained a pound and a half and im making sure to use all your good advise. so far i look a lot thicker just from that pound and a half and my abs are still ripped. ive been varying it by hitting a 3 day cycle heavy w/ 6 reps for all compound moves and about 8 reps for isolation moves and then a day off followed by a 3 day cycle of 12 reps for everything with a slight twist have it be drop sets , squeeze sets, faster or slower tempo then before, supersets etc. it seems to be working quite well. i have it all recorded in a notebook so i never have to wonder what worked and what i did the week before. this makes bulking alot more fun for me. thanks again for all your awesome advise!!

ok, nevermind i just looked it up and the sucrose is 8.27 the glucose is only 2.76 and the fructose is only .03 hardly in the recommendations you gave. other then grapes and a banana and other things i would have to use a blender for is there any cheap powders out the that are like gatorade but with a better equation to them??

ps- so far now after 8 weeks im up 4 lbs and my bodyfat has actually gone from 4.5 down to 3.97%. that puts me at 159.5. this is really working!!

For the most part, though not "ideal", you can still use it. 

Sucrose is very readily digested in the stomach into its component sugars, glucose and fructose.

Effectively, for our discussion, catabolism is the loss of muscle tissue.

Yeh, I know what catabolism is... Its the destructive phase of metabolism.  Yet, the guy from the podcast said there were specific foods thats increased the rate of catabolism and I was wondering what these were.  Processed foods?  Sugars?

Great, just wanted to be sure we were on the same page.

Yes, you have the right idea. 
Dan often discusses things in terms of being anti-anabolic.
Highly processed foods would certainly be an example.

In my notes on the recording, I note a few important points:
High saturated fat intake, lack of hydration, meal timing, proper nutrient balance, high fructose intake, modulating the diet...


Dan discusses his top anti-anabolic list elsewhere.:
Over cooking food
Eating too fast
Missing Meals
Over Eating
Not drinking enough water
Not getting ENOUGH protein
Not getting ENOUGH calories
Drinking Alcohol
Too much caffeine
Taking Saw Palmetto when you are not at risk of BPH
Training TOO LITTLE! (1x per bodypart per week does not take advantage of more frequent hormonal "work - recovery" cycles)
Doing low intensity cardio
Never lifting Heavy

Hmm, eating too fast... Thats interesting because I tend to eat fast since I have to mow down food during passing times at school ( 6 minutes ), so this may be causing an anabolic effect?  Also, maybe I overeat since 5000 calories a lot, but its the only amount I can eat now to gain any lbs on the scale.  Im up to 192 now, at a lower BF % than when I first hit 200 6-8 months ago so thats good I suppose.

Don't be too worried.  The goal is to get as close to perfect as we can.  Nobody is perfect, we try to do our best. 

The essentials are more important than the refinements. 
The refinements give you small improvements if you have the essentials in place.

The more anit-anabolic things you avoid, the better.  I have to eat meals in passing times between classes as well. 

Just put your mind in a calm, pleasant place while throwing down that MRP as you jog accross campus. Smile

im bulking right now, at went from 133-134 lbs to 144 lbs in a bit over a month, i know ive gained lean mass as bicep got slightly bigger, and lifts are more, but ive gained some fat, as abs are not as defined. My bodyfat is 13-16, i dont konw how to use my calipers :P but yea i want to lose fat for summer.... i know that thats bad as im not heavy enough to cut... but ive gotten so much fat on my face this bulk....

my diet is like this
8:45shake in morning (fruit, whey, flax oil)
12:45lunch (3 whole grain bread with can of tuna)
4:15 chicken breast or meat 4-5 oz (enough to match 35 grams of protein) with oatmeal, peanut butter, vegetable
6:15 preworkout - oatmeal, peanut butter, deli meat, some cheese
7:45post workout - shake (1.5 scoops whey, half a banana, icecream)
8:45-9(35 grams of protein from meat,sweet potato, peanut butter, vegetable
before bed - cottage cheese, glass of skimmed milk

ratios are about 33/33/33 eating 2500-2600 calories gaining fine

do you suggest for losing fat for summer to do more cardio, and go at maintenance calories or to cut

Well, that diet is not exactly the "optimal" diet for bulking so in a small way you set yourself up for a challenge.

Lets look at those meals...instead of stressing about cardio and all the rest at first.

Start by simply cleaning up the diet.
 
8:45shake in morning (fruit, whey, flax oil)
Start with a whole food protein!  Better would be to drop the fruit and have a veggie
Scrambled eggs with mushroom, onion, garlic, spinach and some oven roasted potato.
12:45lunch (3 whole grain bread with can of tuna)
Replace bread with rice, quinoa, or other whole food..add a vegetable!
4:15 chicken breast or meat 4-5 oz (enough to match 35 grams of protein) with oatmeal, peanut butter, vegetable
OK
6:15 preworkout - oatmeal, peanut butter, deli meat, some cheese
Not great pre workout unless it is over 45 minutes, In which case get some veggies in there.
7:45post workout - shake (1.5 scoops whey, half a banana, icecream)
No ice cream. Drop the banana.
8:45-9(35 grams of protein from meat,sweet potato, peanut butter, vegetable
ok
before bed - cottage cheese, glass of skimmed milk
A complete whole food meal here (chicken, baked potato, broccoli) not within 90 minutes of bed.
 
A better source of fat would be ideal. 
Whole unroasted nuts (almonds, walnuts...) instead of roasted peanuts. 
Is that peanut butter 100% peanuts or is there ANYTHING else in it. 
If so, at least change it to a pure ground nut butter.

Consider a switch to fish oil from flax oil.

After you clean up the diet you should see the pudge go down!!
 
Next, look at the losing fat thread for some ideas on gradual changes to keep the pace of fat loss going.
Add alterations slowly to milk each one...don't try to do everything at once.
They body does not play that way!
 
There is a link to a page with caliper instructions on it as well so you can use the calipers to help you track changes and stay on top!

Thanx a lot for takin ur time and helping me with this...

another thing is training, the only part i feel a little sore the day after are chest and sometimes legs....

the morning i used to eat eggs, although over here every grocery store ive been to - liquid egg whites are 500 ml for $3-4,

i thought before bed we need casien protein or something which will build muscle over night...

and also i noticed good gains having ice cream postworkout, read about it in book called RAW MUSCLE, if you suggest dropping the banana and ice cream post workout what do i eat..... just whey?!, and i forgot to add that i have the whey with soy milk

what should i add to preworkout

Whey with the soy is fine...but check that the soy has LOW sugar.  Some are made with LOTS of sugar.

Pre and post workout are discussed in the losing fat thread. 
Yes, the whey 30 minutes pre-workout is fine if you at 60-90 minutes ago.

Let us both get on the same page.

You said:
quote:

Bread and ice cream are not great but ok for bulking, but you did not ask about bulking.  You asked about losing fat for summer.

This answer is about getting lean. 
You will still gain muscle. 

Post workout, if you want to gain muscle but get leaner, simply drop the fast insulin boosters for a while.

When you like the body you get, slowly add in the banana.  The ice cream is for over the top insulin response. 
Yes, that makes you gain weight faster...some of which is muscle some is likely to be fat. 
Also you will retain more water, which you described.

Since you are NOT tracking your caliper measures week to week, you have no idea what is happening. 
Read my gaining mass post.  Pay attention to the part about keeping the momentum of gains.
Tracking and making adjustment is essential.

quote:

another thing is training, the only part i feel a little sore the day after are chest and sometimes legs....

Post exercise soreness means NOTHING in relation to growth! 
It is not an idicator of the quality and response to your workout.
Go it?  Good.  It just indicates your level of fitness in relation to removal of waste byproducts that build up.

quote:

i thought before bed we need casien protein or something which will build muscle over night...

You need lots of things.  Casien is not a nutrient balanced offering.  The veggies help keep your body alkaline and thus pro-anabolic, they also provide many of the precursors needed to actually have the growth you want.  The carbs feed your body and brain and help spare protein, the fats nourish the body and provide hormone precursers so you CAN build.  The protein is the stuff of building blocks and neurotransmitters and many other things.

You need more than casein.  It is a simplistic and flawed theory.  It functions, but not efficiently.  I won't go into it now.

Hey dan i have a few questions
1. why did u suggest taking the banana out? just to get lean? because i thought u reccomended to always having something like a banana PWO

2. Why do u suggest things like potatoes for the last meal? wouldnt starchy carbs (especially of white potatoes) be bad so close to when ur going to sleep?

3. I read that u said one should be gaining .5lb-2lb. of muscle while losing .3-.5lb. of fat a week. do u really think most can achieve this? ive always been under the impression that its nearly impossible to do both

4. why do u suggest doing no cardio while bulking? i would think on days ur not working out it would help to keep fat down.

those are my main questions, but lastly...ive been trying to clean bulk and i want to keep fat to a minimum.  this is my diet, is there anything u would change to make it optimal for gaining LBM while keeping fat down and maybe even losing some? thanks

When we are talking about purely LOSING FAT...fruit is not an ideal food.

quote:

2. Why do u suggest things like potatoes for the last meal? wouldnt starchy carbs (especially of white potatoes) be bad so close to when ur going to sleep?

No.  A balanced meal of WHOLE foods digests slowly and provides nutrients to the body over hours.  You need carbs for the brain and for various processes.  If you don't eat them, then you produce hormones that convert proteins into them.  Not ideal.

quote:

3. I read that u said one should be gaining .5lb-2lb. of muscle while losing .3-.5lb. of fat a week. do u really think most can achieve this? ive always been under the impression that its nearly impossible to do both

Yes.  I have seen it (100s of people doing it at once), done it myself, trained others and monitored them doing it...
If you are at a lower BF% then the fat loss number that is feasable gets to be lower and lower.

4. why do u suggest doing no cardio while bulking? i would think on days ur not working out it would help to keep fat down.

If you strive for maximal gains, then you want certain hormonal patterns.  Cardio encourages certain hormones....not optimal for maximum muscle gains.  It also means you have to eat more to support the added caloric expenditure.

You can still gain muscle with cardio.  No problem.  Some people gain better with some cardio.

...ive been trying to clean bulk and i want to keep fat to a minimum. 

You know that by favoring a hormonal state that breaks down protein instead of one that builds muscle is not optimal so no need to go on about the ratio...

Oatmeal is not a great PWO carb.  Too much fiber for 30 minutes out. 
Where is your post workout? Get protein w/in 30 minutes!
Try to stick with whole food sources and drop as much of the powder protein as you can.
Replace fruits with veggies anywhere and everywhere in meals that you can.
Have a fibrous veggie (not including peas, corn, tomato, carrot) with every meal.
Replace bread with a real food. (rice, quinoa, amaranth, sweet potato, peas, corn, tomato,...)
Have a carb as above with every meal.

The goal is to control your hormones.
