This study presents the diet and exercise strategies of a world-class body-builder during an 8-week precompetition period. Weighed food records were kept daily, and body fat, resting metabolic rate (RMR), VO2max, blood lipids, and liver enzymes were measured. Two hrs of aerobic exercise and 3 hrs of weight training were done daily 6 days/week. Mean energy intake was 4,952 kcal/day (54 kcal/kg) and included 1,278 kcal/day from medium-chain triglycerides (MCT). Diet without MCT provided 76% of…

There was a reduction in absolute fat free mass, despite the use of AAS, and the combination of excessive volumes of training with inadequate protein consumption was responsible for this outcome.

Reductions in plasma volume, muscle glycogen content and the buffer capacity of the blood explain decreased performance after rapid bodyweight reduction; during gradual bodyweight loss, slow glycogen resynthesis after training, loss of muscle protein and stress fractures (caused by endocrinological disorders) may affect performance.

Evidence is insufficient to conclude that a higher RT volume is better suited to spare lean mass duringCR, although data seem to favor higher volumes in female athletes during CR, and the data appear to suggest that increasing RT volume during CR over time might be more effective in ameliorating CR-induced atrophy.
