Next challenge, I Trained Like A Golden Era BBer For A Week! But please, intensity has to be on point.

[@tyberius5615]

He can't, he's just natty

[@immaduck9232]

Seriously. They were intense. 20+ sets per body part (for Arnold) and supersets... training each group 3 days a week before a contest. I'd like to see this guy try...... and not complain. They believed in those high volume routines, and went as hard as they could to meet 5 sets per exercise 3-5 exercises per bp. The Golden era guys were lean and mean. Booyah.

I think you looked better after than before. yeah, you looked more full before, but the after is a better look all around. More athletic look. You really are one of the best channels. One of the few I watch every upload from. Thanks for the conent, it's always interesting, fun and informative

[@clementohadi8682]

I have your answer man : HONEY AND FRUITS FOR THE CARBS. That’s pretty much like how Paul Saladino or Kneesoverthetoesguy eat !!! High in proteins and fat and get as much carbs as u want from fruits and honey so u’ll have tons of energy. I have been eating that way and damn it changed my life. I have so much more energy and mental clarity, no crash after eating like when I eat rice (I continue eating thai rice about once or twice a week though because I enjoy it; its my cheat meal lol), I sleep so much better and need less sleep, libido through the roof, recovery from the gym (i do 3x full body per week) and sprinting (every other day) is excellent, i put on some size and muscles. The golden era diet can really work and be sustained on the long term (steak, cheese, butter, eggs etc are delicious) but just add as much fruit and honey u want !!!!!!!!

[@JZirn]

This is almost quite literally the diet I’ve been doing since January. Best decision I’ve ever made. Minimal to no food noise! Hydration and electrolytes are key.

[@alcbaz]

Lucas please can you try 30 days of face yoga / exercises that apparently give you a face lift

[@PredatorSoulfly]

I already am on a similar diet. Eggs, bacon, cherry tomatoes, blueberries, cottage cheese, steak, salmon, just a few slices of bread. It's way better than chicken and rice.

[@AmphibianDev]

Bro, this diet is exactly what is the most healthy stuff on earth, after months of research. Like I always say, the only goal you need to aim at is health, and everything follows.

[@dr.truthteller9768]

There was a difference between the before and after. You did look slightly bigger after and the stomach was flatter. Continue for 12 weeks with the fats and then 4 weeks of slowly removing an egg yolk and the chicken skin and going from 90/10 to 97/3...carb loading once a week.

[@Demonx07]

So, in January I started a low carb (almost keto) type of diet and started lifting and boxing, and went from 280 (high fat low muscle) to 190(low fat moderate muscle) by August, so I definitely think the Golden Era had something right with diet and exercise

[@taylormcclenny1416]

The “glucose pump” you’re referring to is caused by the increased “intracellular mass” that accompanies glucose intake. A good portion of that glucose is sent directly into tissue cells, along with accompanying resources like water, proteins, fats, and electrolytes. The glucose and its derivatives are used to immediately ensure processes producing ATP are fully supplied; additional glucose is chained together using fats to create glycogen and stored close by. All of this cellular activity also requires lots of water and electrolytes (and energy). Electrolytes are very small, as they are ions; meaning their major function is donating “charge”. But these guys change the charge of the cells and their components. The charge of the cell determines its predisposition to exchange nutrients with its surroundings. So when you ingest lots of carbs, you’re sending a signal that bountiful resources are available to the cells. They soak them right up.

[@ArcadianDan]

I’d like to see how it goes for you after 30 days. Seems like you may have a more dramatic results in a slightly longer duration. Like what Chui Hin-chun used to do. He started introducing veggies now. So maybe his current diet is more suitable for your intake needs. I think that would make an interesting video for you. Love the content!

[@unbelievebale777]

You should invest in a scale that measures your body fat and muscle mass instead of just your weight! They are pretty affordable nowadays and easy to use!

[@MrTrip666]

I second this. There not 100% percent accurate, but still very good if you're consistent with them throughout your journey. That or he should add a monthly caliper test for his body fat

[@adminintellidm6806]

This is actually is my diet of the last 4 years.. I'm still putting on muscle easily, and body fat keeps dropping.... anyone who says you can't build muscle without carbs or muscle looks flat without carbs haven't done the diet long enough When you become fat adapted (after 4 to 6 months of nearly no carbs), your body automatically manages your blood glucose levels to a stable level, and its enough for your muscles to soak up that glucose floating in your blood, giving your muscles the full look again but without carbs I've went from 22% bf to 16% bf in the last 12 months, while maintaining a stable weight, gained maybe 5lbs in that time... so all my body fat weight dropped and replaced with muscle in a recomp.

[@adminintellidm6806]

but you gotta focus ...

[@becks33]

This sounds amazing. What does your diet look like in a day meal by meal

[@reformedstoic1581]

Did you ever try Durienriders low fat high carb diet? Might make an interesting video.

[@rintheotaku1261]

@pigmie I actually want to see the golden era diet going for a month to see result because most time the first week of the journey your body have to clean out what you don't need or need much of and readjust to the new routine, give it a month run and I'm sure it would show some amazing result brother, can't wait to see you do it if you decide to do it because I might do it if the result seems interesting😁

[@Vajid-pq6vq]

Pigmi puts himself through experiments to discover what works best for his viewers hats off you bro ❤

[@tyyung177]

Been doing this diet for 2 years. Literally the best diet. Low carb high fat with raw dairy and fermented veggies. Little fruit or sourdough and honey and raw milk for carb loads to counter metabolic plateau

[@odinsonthered9226]

Mike mentzer had the best golden era diet. His training method is outdated and was a bit crazy but his diet was great

[@keagan5379]

This diet (but with less meals) helped me go from obese to skinny very quickly and it was amazing. Once i wanted to start packing on muscle though, I really had to increase the carbs significantly.

[@CharlesTRose]

you survived eating better than your normal diet for a week

[@CrackedZac]

My muscles actually feel more full and pumped when I’m consistently eating high protein than they do off of high carbs. It’s weird, high carb meals only really make me feel pumped and full when I’ve been previously depleted and am carbing back up. But high protein meals just consistently make me feel full

[@RPRsChannel]

*_As the video goes on, you eat more and more veggies. Try the opposite._* *_I never knew that they ate so many tomatoes?_* *_Have you made a video on practicing your vacuum? Like the old school bodybuilders could do._*

[@NikoEverwinter-nz1rx]

Everyone on carnivore gets carb cravings and fatigue at the beginning. If you wanna do the low carb or carnivore diet you are gonna have to stick to it for at least 2-3 months before you get fatadapted. Takes time for the body to switch over to fat from carbs.

[@Iz0pen]

If you were previously eating low fat

[@Iz0pen]

If you were previously eating low fat you may have difficulty producing enough bile for a while also

If pigmie hearts my comment I will do 10,000 push-ups But you got to focus!

[@Naturally-Fragrant]

When I was on my heaviest and most intense training (quite a few years ago now), I would have a mostly fruit day one day a week; because eating so much meat and eating five times a day really made me feel like I had to give my gut a rest occasionally. I'd have cereal and milk and a banana for breakfast, and tea and cake in the afternoon, but everything else was as much fruit as I wanted. Whole load of calories, but nothing stodgy that needs to sit there being digested for hours. Also, if you try a fruit fast for a few days, you will totally clean out everything that's been clinging to every corner of your intestines for years.

[@Nobarkus]

[@blastyblast1010]

You may or may not have completely depleted your glycogen stores depending on your cardio levels, if any. You can store 5+ pounds of glycogen.

[@surreshk]

As a vegetarian, I eat 2 pounds of cottage cheese everyday. I'd say bump up the carbs to 150g and keep it maintenance calories. And 1 high carb day a week.

[@pieterwesterink50]

I think the lack of carbs just makes your body hold less water in your waist and muscles

[@Datdawg231]

I remember mike mentzer preaching carbs for muscle. His theory was that carbs hydrated the muscle, and the example he used was something “It’s called a carboHYDRATE, its hydrates your muscle.” 😂

Definitely gotta drink a lot of water on this diet. I imagine it's pretty salty and ofc the lower water retention.

I watched 80% of video so maybe its at the end but you didn't mention most important part how did you feel lifting strength wise? Say you normally bench 225lbs for 10-12 reps could you do 15 on this diet? Were you adding weight to all your lifts or doing 2-5 more reps?

You have to adapt to a low carb diet b4 your body starts to be more efficient at making it's own glycogen from fat and protein. It's called gluconeogenisis

hha nice, i did kinda this diet to heal my gut. the gaps diet you can look it up. The reason you had lose stools is because your microbiome is shifting, it will be better after some time. The recommendations these days for eating grains and the shift it brought to the fitness industry, in my opinion, was not in favor of our health... if you feel like experimenting on the diet, i would do it for a month and combine it with int. fasting, i believe you wil feel a lot bether

[@rykerblade_snb]

I think you just need to do it longer than a week so you can see how it truly affects you

[@adminintellidm6806]

the carbs you are craving is just a phase ... the more you go in the meat and eggs direction, the lower those cravings will get Your body will withdrawal from carbs like a drug... push through it and when you get to the other side of it, your cravings for sugar drop to minimal levels. But every now and then you'll get a craving, and i just go with keto ice cream (allulose/monk fruit sweetened) ... as long as you get to 80% to satisfying the craving, you're golden

[@adminintellidm6806]

well you put weight on but you definitely didn't look fat ergo you must have built muscle. You didn't look a ton more muscular either but it was only a week, loosing all that water weight makes you look smaller at first so maybe that accounts for not really seeing it... give it more than a week next time...
