nutnut Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 This thread is to much , how about paying a dietitian to build you a eating plan. Get a personal trainer once a week to help you check your goals. You are micro managing tomuch it will burn you out. Given it's what I do for a living I tend to agree here. That being said you need to look for someone whom works with the athletic population as most dietitians in clinical practice have no clue how to properly write diets for anyone with increased protein requirements nor do many keep up with the research. Choose wisely and avoid anyone pushing typical dietary myths such as 6 meals a day or extremes in any direction. When it comes to diet one approach does not fit all. As for mass and strength, there is correlation though correlation does not equal causation as we all know. Myofibrillar hypertrophy causes strength gains and with myofibrillar hypertrophy comes atleast slight sarcoplasmic hypertrophy (can't have one without the other) so although size does not absolutely determine strength there is a reason that world record holders in the big 3 are not small men and a reason we have weight classes. CNS adaptation only gets you so far and with progression of heavier and heavier weight comes muscular adaptation in the form of growth. That however does not mean all big people are strong or that all smaller people are not strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotAGrip Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 I honestly enjoy being obsessive with my diet as nutrition is just as much a hobby as grip training is. I weighed myself last night and I have put on 6lbs, so I am pretty damn pleased. I think I will stick to what I am doing for a while and report back soon on this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifesnotfair Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Can you do a 1 arm pull-up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotAGrip Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Can you do a 1 arm pull-up? Yeah, been doing them for quite a while now. Adapted my pull up bar and am now working on a one-handed pull up on a 2" rotating bar... that's a lot tougher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
