£31.6m Depay hires chef after piling on pounds

Who've they got?

Forget it, makes no difference.

Page 28. "The sports nutrition literature suggests that an increase in body mass of 0.25-0.5 kg·week-1 should be a realistic goal if the added weight is mainly gain in LBM (ACSM 2009 b; Slater 2010; Houston 1999)"

Easy to find when you know what you are looking for

Now find me something that says an elite athlete can't expect to gain 275g of lean muscle mass per week over a four month period.

 

The mighty Norwich.

Delia's gonna av them

 

A real relegation 6 pointer.

That's the views of guys who have actually been training in the gym for years, and they have scientific evidence to back it up.

From a well recognised source bodybuilding.com the most popular bodybuilding and muscle building website in the world. I'm not even sure where your article is from, never heard of it.

Just incase you don't know 5kg translates to about 11 pounds. So you think a trained athlete can gain 11 pounds of pure muscle in just 4 months?

Unless your on something illegal, it is next to impossible and any experienced natural weightlifter/bodybuilder would agree with me

 

Watching the World's Strongest Man has long been a Christmas / New Year tradition in the Stan household.

 

But depay was carrying fat in the 1st place, he has burnt that off and converted it to muscle.
You need to remember UK training his much harder than Dutch training.

But at the end of the day, Depay needs to sort himself out and get back into the team.

The Viking! RIP

 

First of all you can't turn muscle into fat, they are complete different things.

And secondly you need to put on weight to gain muscle, which will result in fat gains. So you can't lose fat and gain muscle at the same time, unless you are a beginner in the gym. But for anyone who's been training 6 months or more it's impossible lose fat and gain muscle at the same time.

This is why all bodybuilders go through bulking and cutting phases. They bulk up to add muscle which will result in fat gains, they then go through a cutting phase to cut the fat and just maintain the muscle they have, though they won't gain any new muscle on a cut

 

Quite right, I should have explained it better

 

I like strongman too, it is impressive the amount of weight they can move.

There is no drugs testing in it though, which means to be successful in it you dont only have to be a genetic monster, you also have to pump your body full of roids. Which is not great for your overall health

 

Highly doubt you know more than me considering I'm a competitive bodybuilder and own a bodybuilding gym. But go on..

 

I'm looking forward to next weeks thread titled Depay Sacks Chef after Pilling on Pounds.

 

Agree with the majority of this post but someone like Depay (who is hardly developed with muscle - in bodybuilding terms as you are using for your posts) could easily pile on a few kg in 4-6months with minimal fat gain. Considering the shock of different training methods and a solid diet. Agreed a small amount with be fat gain but very minimal judging from his appearance. He is athletic not muscular so this sort of gain is plausible.

 

My article was from the Norwegian School of Sports Science. But I'm sure a blog written by one guy based on nothing but his own experience and some ancedcotes is much more reliable than controlled, peer reviewed academic research

Ultimately your argument still falls down on the fact that you are talking about bodybuilders and footballers are not bodybuilders. Footballers don't wake up in the morning and go "how ripped can I make myself look today", they go "how can I improve my ability to run, jump, kick, head and generally play football better.

I'm sure there's a limit to how much water saturated poser muscles you can grow in a month, but the limit is much higher when you include the full skeletal muscle system and all the smooth muscles of the cardio vascular system. Particularly for individuals experiencing a significant step up in the level and pace of the game they are playing.

Your own article points out that sprinting can increase muscle growth, but how many body builders do you think can sprint more than 100 yards without their heart exploding?

 

Capes innit?
