[@DrSwole]

Always love to have Eric on to remind me of what I've learned from his books.

[@DrSwole]

He’s awesome

[@michelbeaudet2605]

Appreciate Dr Helms distinguishing the vegan diet from the vegetarian diet. It is significant

[@DrSwole]

It certainly is

[@mauricecooper9763]

I'm enjoying these! Some VERY useful information on our own health which will help us!💪

[@DrSwole]

Thanks my friend!

[@fereshkan]

Perhaps a follow up to this with a discussion on how long you should maintain for *muscle memory* purposes. Or maybe worded better as how much of the fresh muscle mass would you maintain if you started cutting right after a bulk vs how much you maintain after spending 4-8weeks at maintenance before cutting.

[@DrSwole]

Good questions!

[@JoshBenware]

I wish Eric had a youtube channel. I don't have IG. Thanks for doing this podcast! Loved listening while prep cooking!

[@waynejones1996]

He and Omar Isulf( not sure that is spelled right) do a podcast on KZbin called iron culture that has a few newer episodes not sure how often they put out content though.

[@JoshBenware]

[@vistian]

Thank you for all of these. Fantastic information!

Great episode really enjoyed the conversation

[@DrSwole]

Thanks my man

[@luciouslokko7385]

Would you recommend gaining a 1lb a month after one year of lifting because your technically still a beginner?

[@jessicacarolan6905]

Does the 0.5 - 1.5% weight gain per month apply to women too??

[@aaryan3461]

Probably half that

[@harrison2730]

What do you consider a beginner and when do you transition into a intermediate?

[@DrSwole]

Beginners are those who have been training for about 1-2 years seriously

[@varun8231]

Hey guys- I'm planning to switch to a 5 day Push Legs Pull this week, cause of time issues and recovery I'll be hitting the same workout the 4 th day, instead of the 3rd in a normal push pull program. How does that sound? 1. M C 2. T L 3. W 4. T B 5. F C 6. S L 7. S 1. M B 2. T C 3. W L 4. T 5. F B 6. S C 7. S 1. M L 2. T B 3. W C 4. T 5. F L 6. S B 7. S 1. M C 2. T L 3. W B 4. T 5. F C 6. S L 7.

If it is PPL why would you use C (chest), B (back), L (Legs)?? If you are asking for help at least make it understandable lol

[@Eric-xg9pi]

Can you do an episode with Ron Partlow?

[@DrSwole]

Been thinking about it! He's down

[@DrSwole]

What would you want us to chat about?

[@Eric-xg9pi]

@@DrSwole bodybuilding training, nutrition and mindset would be interesting. It would be interesting to know the differences between natural and enhanced training. What the differences between a good and Great bodybuilder are. Would also be interesting to know why he started lifting and the Biggest mistakes he made back when he started.

[@DrSwole]

Yep! We'll be going over fat loss after bulking

[@Ask-Ali]

@@DrSwole did this ever get posted? Maybe I missed it

[@ctcpcp]

Protein per my height would be 2.6g per kilogram. Thats way way to much. How is that possible?

[@ts-rf7er]

The dummy proof number is 1 g for lb of bodyweight The upper bound is 1 g per cm of height So a 200 lb 5'8" individual should aim for at most 173 g protein because 5'8" is 173 cm Studies show no meaningful benefit beyond 0.82 g protein per lb of weight but that's not a round number

[@thomasruckstuhl9980]

Great to listen to intelligent people on this subject without the typical boys jokes!

[@DrSwole]

Glad it was appreciated!

[@Marx1963]

I’m 5’11 192lbs - 12% bf I eat 260 -320 grams of protein . I just enjoy eating protein over carbs and fat and feel good. Fat is 40-60 grams ,carbs under< 120 -why eat more carbs if not essential .

[@jonzengotita7056]

More carbs = more energy to train = better performance = more gains. If protein intake is maximal (around 0.8-1g per lb) and there's enough fat to feel good hormonally, it's a good idea to fill your remaining calories with carbs. But adherence is more important than optimization, so stick with what works best for you.

Both of u need to train your necks. From shoulders up both look like you don’t train at all.
