Great podcast Lawrence, but surely to increase hypertrophy you got to lift heavy.Genetics are a factor but an excuse for many. Look at before pictures of Mr Universe Tom Platz legs, then see what they were like after squatting heavy for a few years.Best Regards!
Good work on the great recent content. Especially enjoyed this podcast sharing your own thoughts!
You have consistently recommended Tim Ferris’ slow carb diet. You say you don’t track calories or macros nor does Tim recommend it. How do you pick/recommend how much to eat? I believe Tim says eat as much as you want of the allowed foods. This may work for people that generally undereat but not sure how that would work for a guy like me who typically overeats.
Do you try to hit a certain protein goal? The book said at least 30 grams for breakfast and 20 grams for the other meals which would be 3 more from what I gathered, so minimum would be 90 grams. This seems low for a larger guy like me (6′ 209)
How do you know when to adjust what you are eating?
I know you have also experimented with intermittent fasting and I have been skipping breakfast for over a year now. Do you think the slow carb diet works better with the 30 in 30 rule?
