be very catabolic , when coupled with eating in a very stringent low calorie low carb or zero carb cycle for great lengths , but the diet and cardio is necessary to unlock all that stored fat to be used as energy . Especially at the end of your prep , I repeat this EATS YOUR MUSCLE TISSUE . Yes friends , contrary to labels , fat burners are extremely catabolic when coupled with the above myriad of extreme prep tactics . Essentially you ’ re going to be doing everything to your body that is not promotive of muscle preservation . Besides whatever a person may choose , to put into their body to increase anabolism and to stave off massive and ever ramping catabolic tissue Loss . Not good people , certainly things have their place if , so chosen . But responsibility with that is paramount . Justification of more and more compounds to mitigate catastrophic catabolism unleashed by the above scenario . This is a toxic mentality , it literally says you have to take more and more of something that can do potential , and long-term harm to your body to protect your body , from that which you did to harm it the first place , by letting yourself get so out of shape . It ’ s like drinking poison knowingly , because you think you have an endless supply of antidote at hand . This is absolutely bananas .
“ Dirty bulk ”, “ Eat Clen , Tren Dirty ” a couple popular slogans I observed on T-shirts and of course the Internet in the last few years . Literally promoting this kind of behaviour and mentality , to the most susceptible , our young people . Those with little to no experience , that are coming into this experience , seeing high calories and drugs . As some formula that ’ s relevant . Anyway , this is to say the least , very disturbing . Now before I get too deep in the weeds on that topic , I ’ ll come back and say , to those people who think it ’ s thing you need to do . Example , you may have started dieting last time at 230 LBS , competed at 190-195 lbs . So , it makes sense to you to get up to 265lbs or 270lbs . You think , or worse you are advised to do so . Because gotta GET HUGE right ? How do I get huge ? I eat everything I possibly can and take a lot of things that make my body grow , no matter what the side effects or short / long term consequences are . We all know this mentality , more and more means its better . Wrong ! Although , there ’ s a simple logic to it I understand , if one is good more is better . This is flawed monstrously . Irresponsible , ill planned zero effective strategy . Yup it ’ s pretty easy to Roll down the very steep hill . Which otherwise you would have to dig in hard , focus , dedicate and climb up . Mostly that reason is “ I want to eat crap , pay no attention to my diet I ’ ll worry about it when I prep , cause GOTTA BE HUGE ”. Could be other things but this is just most prominent in my experience . Ah , the easy way … people think the easy way , so you may feel like you suffer less now , but you will certainly and guaranteed suffer later on and much worse . It ’ s like when you ’ re on your way to hell but you ’ re rolling the red carpet out for yourself and nobody is checking you . Looking down at your feet at the 1-yard line , instead of the long game . Yes , unfortunately , “ the easy way ” is often chosen . Doesn ’ t matter if it ’ s a pop tart or if it ’ s brown rice it ’ s just a carb , right ? If it ’ s deli meat or grass-fed bison it ’ s just a macro it ’ s all protein , right ? Oh fat , this product disguised as food has fat calories in it . Oh , it ’ s only 9 calories per gram . That ’ s a macro right doesn ’ t matter if it ’ s fat in this food product from oxidized seed , oil , packaged garbage , or if it ’ s DHA and EPA from deep sea Atlantic Krill oil , and that ’ s if people look even that deep into it . However wrong totally , completely antithetical to how those different examples of macronutrients would affect the body .
Yes , ladies I know , I know that I have been covering the male body builder as much of the premise for my examples . I ’ ve not forgotten about you . Well , here ’ s specs for y ’ all , For all you amazing female machines out there . You may have already connected the dots , yup the exact same scenario applies . But the amount of off-season muscle gain necessary , is substantially less for all of you . Comparably , it is not uncommon for the 40 + pound scenario to take place with the men equally the women .
