Q&A #1 part 1

[UpalKashey]

i dont eat b4 the gym i go too early to eat.

butshould i still consume something

[LiftingForLife]

@UpalKashey No. Your overall diet is what really matters.

[UpalKashey]

@LiftingForLife thanks much Ian. your channel is getting better and better at first i was meh. now its getting me through work LOL!.

keep putting out those long vids

[MrStefostefo]

@LiftingForLife Ian, is it true that arms get bigger if you train them indirectly? What I mean by indirectly, is by doing only compound movements (cable rows, pullups, chinups, closegrip lateral pulldowns and so on) and without doing any isolation exercises like biceps curls.

I'm playing rugby now, games are usually around 1pm on Sundays. Should I treat the game as I would a workout and eat my preworkout meal of usually 50c/100-150c/15-20f before I head out, around 10am? Also what about the night before? At this point I don't really care about if I'm going over my daily macros. My biggest concern is performance, and not feeling like shit during the game. What would you suggest for peri-game-day nutrition? Thank you Ian.

[mariobrochill]

Jr barthel made 19 accounts to dislike this.

[LiftingForLife]

@mariobrochill Nah he has plenty of dumb fanboys that do that for him.

[LiftingForLife]

@ntfitness Okay.

[LiftingForLife]

@ntfitness umad bro?

[loves2spooj6969]

@ntfitness i may have given off the wrong idea, i totally believe the science you explain behind fat loss and muscle building etc. i just believe that in order to be a "healthy" (aside from fat loss) that you cant be eating pop tarts and things like that haha. but still, much respect and keep up the good work.

[LiftingForLife]

@loves2spooj6969 Why do you believe a person cannot eat PopTarts and still be healthy?

[loves2spooj6969]

@LiftingForLife to be honest, after seeing things like the diet of indigenous tribes and also seeing how cancer, heart disease, etc. is not an issue in those cultures, i have grown a phobia for manufactured foods. i know you may not be fond of "primal" eating but i see it as a believable way to avoid disease.

[LiftingForLife]

@loves2spooj6969 Have you noticed that the average life expectancy for such tribes is several decades less than that of the developed world? Cancer, heart disease etc is not a problem for such people because they usually die of easily treated injuries and infections.

[loves2spooj6969]

@LiftingForLife however, the expectancy of cancer in wildlife and indigenous humans has proven to be far lower than that of humans living in populated areas(eating chemically modified food) and domestic animals. but btw back to my first question, whats your opinion on intermittent fasting? some say it'll increase GH levels.

[bleach4life101]

Strong hair to shirt ratio

[LiftingForLife]

@bleach4life101 lolwut

[Tagerted9]

what are some dietary fiber ?

[LiftingForLife]

@Tagerted9 Can you clarify your question?

[Tagerted9]

@LiftingForLife

um i really dont know how yo to word it but i was told on another video of yours by someone random to stop bloating i need to eat dietary fiber but i really dont know what that is

[19mojo89]

theres an under lying comedy value behind the way u pitch things, love it lol. great info, keep it coming, ppl need to here this stuff. no one tells us. untill now

[LiftingForLife]

@19mojo89 I'm glad some people catch on to the humor. lol

[AngelFitnessTV]

Im juss gna like the page for fun now

[FacelessProjects]

I love you man. Thanks for answering my question so thoroughly about fat. You're so knowledgeable man, thank God there are people like you making the effort to educate people like me.

[MissionSk8r]

Great stuff, more videos like this! Love to finally here the reasoning behind stuff, rather then regurgitated bro science jargon spit out by everyone. I think as you continue to improve your physique you will greatly increase your followers, as most correlate aesthetics with knowledge, which obviously holds no correlation.

[loves2spooj6969]

while i disagree with a lot of the stuff you say i totally respect how you base what you preach on logic and scientific fact. However i think that you should be a little more open minded but still skeptical about what you hear in regards to nutrition. btw what do you think about intermittent fasting(punctuated eating)? thanks

[TheIncognitum]

37:40 good point but i disagree

[mcdaniel1509]

Lol haters came and took your site, don't worry those fatties don't have a clue about nutrition so nobody will listen to them. And Ian you should use Comodo Internet Security, with Comodo nobody can do that to you, check main site of Comodo, good stuff for free you got there. All the best.

[graminc]

Informative vid as usual. *spoiler alert* watched the vid and Ian does NOT get naked anywhere in it.  Just sayin'.

[Liddy990]

5 dislikes already.

umad?

[LiftingForLife]

@Liddy990 Nah. I try to ignore the opinions of idiots.

[Liddy990]

@LiftingForLife Someone somewhere's mad.

[LiftingForLife]

@Liddy990 LOL nope. "OMFG idiots on YouTube don't like me brb slitting wrists" how about no...

[Liddy990]

@LiftingForLife Wasn''t a hit at you, I'm a fan. Just saying what you do clearly got someone unhappy.....

/justsayin

[LiftingForLife]

@Liddy990 Ah I read your second comment as saying "someone's mad" as if you were referring to me. My bad.

[Liddy990]

@LiftingForLife No sir, all good.

[Thejizzmaster94]

@Liddy990 lol i just liked his vid you mad faggot?

[Liddy990]

@Thejizzmaster94 I'm mad brah.

[Thejizzmaster94]

@Liddy990 of course you are now go get a haircut you faggot

[futb0lista7777777]

What are your thoughts on doing low intensity cardio on an empty stomach.

[LiftingForLife]

@futb0lista7777777 Nothing special. You can do cardio whenever you want. What matters is that you get the it done.

[eddamonsta]

@LiftingForLife very good explanation bro! one question,if im bulking on 3500-4000 cals right? can i jump in to a cut right away.like the next can i consume 2500 cals???what do ya reccomend?thanks bro!

[LiftingForLife]

@eddamonsta I'm not a fan of rapidly cutting calorie intake because it tends to have an excessively negative effect on thyroid function. Strength can also take a hit if you suddenly pull a lot of food out of your diet.

[burningcrimsonfury]
