SBC on Chaos and Pain

[sbc5966]

The following is an interview that was done with Jamie Lewis on his blog "chaos and pain". Some of you may get something out of it, some may not. The guy is a riot either way.

I don't think an alternative viewpoint (or the same viewpoint, explained in a different way) on training and nutrition is bad for anyone.

Excellent article/interview.
How the hell does he eat 7 cups of kids cereal post workout? I would love to do that but it would make me a complete lard ass (or maybe I just need to train harder).

His post w/o meal:
1 scoop whey
7 cups of kids cereal
1 cup almond milk
(170g) pasta
(112g) pasta sauce

I worked up to that over the course of a year. Bumping my carbs 10g per week. I have a thread on it somewhere.

Cool article, SBC! And good results too, especially coming back from those injuries!

You mentioned taking in enough protein to maintain a positive nitrogen balance.
Do you have a formula you used to calculate this somehow based on LBS of lean mass? How did you figure that out?

I ask because I've always felt I can get by (nitrogen balance, building or holding muscle) on way less than what's recommended. Especially with AAS.

I just go by 1g per lb.

And yes, you are right. People on AAS need less protein for the same result. It's a "feed efficiency" concept that most of the bodybuilding community does not understand. It often gets misinterpreted.

If anything, naturals need more, but even then... 1.2 g/lb would be the max (to maximize anabolism). Keeping muscle while dieting? That is a little different. But not much.

Guys think that since people on AAS utilize their protein more efficiently that more protein would get you more muscle. It's just not the case. Yes, you get more bang for your buck when it comes to protein utilization, but you don't get any more results from more protein. So, you can consume less protein for better results and replace that extra with carbohydrate.
