Yep. Besides Lyle, you'll find Alan Aragon and Martin Berkhan worth a look too.

@skipps:
check articels and books on bodyrecomposition.com. Also look into the forums.
Probably best source regarding nutrition info.

“The fat guy can go on a diet.” Any recommendations or articles on how to do this?

I’ve done the eat-lots-lift-heavy and gained 45 pounds but would like to shed some fat before continuing bulking…

Jon Dorian,

It means focusing on large compound exercises, and doing low reps (like 5), and incrementally increasing the weight (at least, for a beginner). Get “Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training” by Mark Rippetoe and Lon Kilgore, it is probably the best book on the subject for a beginner.

Nice site. It has taken me a while to trudge through seethes of what you call bro-science, but your methods seem like the most effective paradigm for building muscle. My gains have been massive since I dropped the split crap.

Another prime example is Dave Tate… I believe he went on a diet recently and looks absolutely SHREDDED.

Im a beginner and saw this article posted o n bb and I think this is way easier to follow than the strict slplit and the eating habits. I dont think I can make my self eat only certain foods. Im a little underweight for my age. But what I dont understand is the strength training. Does that mean I should lift more weight and more reps? Sorry for the retard question.

If you wrote about diet that would be great. You can already see some guys changing opinion, even if just a few of them..

i came across your articles through bb.com (i’ll remain anonymous). i am on a 5 day split, high volume, trying to eat clean (as you described, your typical horseshit following gym culture whore haha)

…but the more time i spend rotting away on bb.com the more i’ve come to the conclusion that what people (and i) have been doing is not best. i have seen good (i think) results from my 5 day splits, i have gained 25 lbs of lean muscle in the past 6 months. but i’ve spent a lot of time in the gym, and i have worked my muscles to the edge and tested my CNS.

i’ve always been willing to try new things, and i’m gonna completely throw away my split routine, and focus on compound, core, strength building exercises. after all, it is common sense that with more strength, comes more muscle mass.

thanks for waking me up, i took the time to read all your articles and benefited from it
