20lb of fat = 5lb of muscle (My theory)

[chewyxrage]

well apparently M phelps takes in 12 000 cal a day but hardly clean, then again he does upwards of 5 hours cardio / training ed lol

That seems unrealistic. Granted, I'm no Olympian, but if you're training 5 hours per day, you're spending the rest of your day eating then, I suppose. I've played active sports in tournaments at a highly competitive level for over 8 hours/day and I've never even come close to that.

I could be opening myself to tons of flames here, but wtf? Does not seem realistic. I could have no clue, though. I do know that Phelps made that comment on camera somewhat "offhandedly"....Its not like his trainer was saying "Here is what I have Phelps eating each day"

As for the OP, don't do it dude. You'll probably have a heart attack or require surgery because you can't take a shit. Hilarious trollercoasting, tho, and you got people talking

I've heard several people say similar. Manny Paccio for one estimated 10,000 a day during training. But he a 10 mile run in AM, Weight training mid day, and sparing and conditioning at night. Nothing but eat and sleep in between.
Also watched a small documentary or bio I guess on that Asian who used to win all the hot dog eating contests. Guy was pretty swol benching in the 400s for reps. When training for contests on workout days he would also train his eating abilities by eating like 4000+ cals in one sitting at a sushi buffet. Same thing for Olympic weightlifters who train several sessions a day. These techniques and practices are done by people who have nothing else but training and have years experience. The average person doesn't have the time in the day for proper eating, training, and rest to do this right.

and yes phelps easily consumes 10 000 cals a day even with all the training Michael Phelps Diet

This is one of the most ridiculous claims I've ever heard. Go ahead and eat 10,000 cals a day and believe you got 10 lbs of muscle out of that tub of lard you will be carrying around in that meat jacket you'll be wearing. That is about the farthest thing from reality it could be. I don't know why people keep believing that the more you eat, the more muscle you will gain. There is a certain amount of cals above maintenance you should be and a certain macro ration you should keep depending on personal differences, but anything more will just be fat.....plain and simple.

That looks like the writer set that shit up for a photo shoot. Sorry, I'm skeptical. Show me a video of him eating 12,000 cals/day while training for 5 hours and I'll shutup.

Ridiculous theory.

Whats the stimulus for the muscle gain?

What happens to your cardiovascular system during this Ib/day increase?

What about salt intake, blood pressure, blood lipids?

6 meals at 1666 Kcals each for thirty days - impossible unless its all shakes and super high fat food. Even then I doubt it.

Why post this?
