How do you take a physique athlete from a productive Building Phase all the way to stage condition while preserving as much muscle, training performance and recovery as possible?And does the traditional approach of continually cutting calories, adding cardio and pushing harder as the show gets closer actually make sense?In Part 3 and the final installment of my Intermittent Modified Fasting series, I'm joined once again by Lyle McDonald to take the IMF framework into one of its most advanced applications: contest preparation.We start by discussing something that often gets overlooked before the diet even begins: how to transition intelligently from gaining into fat loss.Rather than treating Building and Fat Loss Phases like an on/off switch, Lyle explains his Pre-Diet or Transition Phase and why temporarily moving toward maintenance, adjusting resistance-training volume and gradually introducing cardio may better prepare an athlete for a longer dieting phase.From there, we get deep into contest prep and discuss how IMF allows us to think differently about where we place the calorie deficit across the week.Instead of simply eating less every day, IMF allows RFL days, maintenance days, training, cardio and carbohydrate availability to be strategically organized around the athlete's needs.Because the goal of contest prep isn't simply to lose weight.It's to arrive stage lean while preserving as much muscle and performance as possible.IN THIS EPISODE:HOW TO TRANSITION FROM A LEAN BUILDING PHASE INTO FAT LOSSLYLE'S PRE-DIET / TRANSITION PHASEWHY JUMPING DIRECTLY FROM A SURPLUS INTO AN AGGRESSIVE DEFICIT MAY NOT BE IDEALWHEN & HOW TO INTRODUCE CARDIOWHY RESISTANCE TRAINING DURING CONTEST PREP SHOULD PRIMARILY BE USED TO PRESERVE MUSCLEHOW LYLE WOULD STRUCTURE A NATURAL BODYBUILDING CONTEST PREP USING IMFHOW TO MANIPULATE RFL DAYS & MAINTENANCE DAYS AS A COMPETITOR GETS LEANERWHY GETTING AHEAD EARLY IN PREP CAN CREATE MORE OPTIONS LATERHOW TO PLACE MORE CALORIES & CARBOHYDRATES AROUND YOUR MOST IMPORTANT TRAINING SESSIONSWHY REFEEDS & MAINTENANCE DAYS BECOME MORE USEFUL DEEPER INTO PREPUSING REFEEDS AS PRACTICE RUNS FOR PEAK WEEKHOW TO DETERMINE WHEN YOU ACTUALLY LOOK YOUR BEST AFTER A CARB LOADWHY PEAK WEEK SHOULD BE PRACTICED RATHER THAN IMPROVISEDTHE PROBLEMS WITH EXTREME WATER DEPLETION & OUTDATED PEAK-WEEK PRACTICESWHY EVERY REFEED, MAINTENANCE DAY & DIET BREAK NEEDS TO EARN ITS PLACE DURING CONTEST PREPThe bigger theme running through this entire series is nutritional periodization.Fat loss still requires an energy deficit. IMF doesn't change that.What it potentially changes is where we place that deficit, allowing us to push harder when the physiological cost is lower while providing more energy when training performance, recovery and muscle retention matter most.For physique athletes and coaches interested in the finer details of getting stage lean without blindly relying on more restriction, more cardio and more fatigue, this is an episode you won't want to miss.WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ME:Follow Brandon on IG:https://www.instagram.com/brandondacruz_/For Info on Brandon's Coaching Services:https://form.jotform.com/bdacruzfitness/coachinginquiryEmail:Bdacruzfitness@gmail.comLYLE'S NEWEST BOOKS: https://store.bodyrecomposition.comSAVE 20% BY USING CODE: larrywon

How much do you actually need to eat above maintenance to maximize muscle growth?And once you're eating enough to support hypertrophy, does pushing calories even higher build more muscle, or simply make you gain body fat faster?In Part 2 of my Intermittent Modified Fasting series, I'm joined once again by Lyle McDonald to move beyond using IMF strictly as a fat-loss strategy and explore how some of these concepts can be applied across different phases of physique development.We start with one of the most debated topics in evidence-based bodybuilding right now: how large of a calorie surplus is actually necessary to maximize muscle growth?Lyle and I break down the research comparing different surplus sizes, realistic rates of muscle gain across different levels of training advancement, the estimated energetic cost of synthesizing new muscle tissue and why simply eating more doesn't allow you to force-feed muscle growth.From there, we take the IMF framework in a direction I found particularly interesting:Could strategically placed Rapid Fat Loss days be incorporated into a Lean Building Phase to help control fat gain without compromising hypertrophy?We discuss using a 6:1 approach where the majority of the week supports muscle growth while one strategically placed RFL day helps reduce the cumulative weekly surplus, how this compares with simply running periodic mini-cuts, and which individuals might actually benefit from this strategy.Finally, we shift back into fat loss and revisit diet breaks. For years, diet breaks were promoted as a way to “reset” metabolism and reverse the physiological adaptations to dieting. But as more research has accumulated, that explanation has become increasingly difficult to defend.That doesn't mean diet breaks are useless. Instead, their biggest benefits may come from improving hunger management, training performance, psychological fatigue, adherence and giving someone an opportunity to actually practice eating at maintenance.IN THIS EPISODE:HOW LARGE OF A CALORIE SURPLUS IS ACTUALLY NECESSARY FOR MUSCLE GROWTH?WHY YOU CANNOT FORCE-FEED MUSCLE GROWTHHOW MUCH MUSCLE CAN BEGINNER, INTERMEDIATE & ADVANCED TRAINEES REALISTICALLY GAIN?WHAT THE RESEARCH SHOWS ABOUT SMALL VS. LARGE CALORIE SURPLUSESWHY FASTER WEIGHT GAIN OFTEN MEANS MORE FAT GAIN, NOT MORE MUSCLEHOW TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOUR CALORIE SURPLUS IS ACTUALLY PRODUCTIVELEAN BUILDING & MINIMIZING UNNECESSARY FAT GAINUSING RAPID FAT LOSS DAYS DURING A LEAN-BUILDING PHASETHE POTENTIAL 6:1 APPROACH: SIX BUILDING DAYS + ONE RFL DAYRFL DAYS VS. PERIODIC MINI-CUTSBODY RECOMPOSITION & WHO IS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE ITDIET BREAKS: PHYSIOLOGICAL VS. PSYCHOLOGICAL BENEFITSHOW DIET BREAKS MAY IMPROVE HUNGER, TRAINING PERFORMANCE & ADHERENCEWHY PRACTICING MAINTENANCE MAY BE ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED BENEFITS OF A DIET BREAKThe major theme running through this episode is that more is not automatically better.More calories don't necessarily mean more muscle. More restriction doesn't necessarily mean a better diet. And more complexity doesn't necessarily mean a better strategy.The goal is understanding which nutritional tool fits the individual, their physiology, their psychology and the phase they're currently in.If your goal is to build more muscle while minimizing unnecessary fat gain, or to better understand how to periodize periods of surplus, maintenance and energy restriction across a long-term physique transformation, this episode is for you.WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ME:Follow Brandon on IG:https://www.instagram.com/brandondacruz_/For Info on Brandon's Coaching Services:https://form.jotform.com/bdacruzfitness/coachinginquiryEmail:Bdacruzfitness@gmail.comLYLE'S NEWEST BOOKS: https://store.bodyrecomposition.comSAVE 20% BY USING CODE: larrywon

On this week's episode of the CHASING CLARITY HEALTH & FITNESS PODCAST, I'm joined once again by Lyle McDonald, one of the most influential voices in evidence-based nutrition and physique science.In this episode, we revisit and expand upon one of the most effective, misunderstood and highly structured approaches to accelerated fat loss: The Rapid Fat Loss Diet (RFL).Lyle breaks down his updated RFL framework, covering everything from the original strict version to his new progressive and flexible models designed to help individuals achieve rapid fat loss without sacrificing muscle, metabolic health or long-term adherence.HERE'S WHAT WE COVER:INTRO – RAPID FAT LOSS REVISITED WITH LYLE MCDONALDRECAP OF WHAT STRICT RFL ISTHE RELAXED RFLWHAT TO ADD & WHO THE RELAXED RFL IS FORTHE PROGRESSIVE RFL – STRUCTURE MEETS FLEXIBILITYTHE FREE MEAL – BUILDING PSYCHOLOGICAL FLEXIBILITYTHE MAINTENANCE DAY – STRATEGIC REFEEDS FOR CONTROL & LONGEVITYADF & ICR – THE FINAL STEP OF THE PROGRESSIVE RFLWHERE TO CONNECT WITH ME:Follow Brandon on IG: https://www.instagram.com/brandondacruz_/For Info on Brandon's Coaching Services: https://form.jotform.com/bdacruzfitness/coachinginquiryEmail: Bdacruzfitness@gmail.comBrandon's Website: https://www.brandondacruzfit.com

If you've ever rejected a man because his name annoyed you… this episode is for you.   Hilary sits down with award-winning interior designer and unapologetic former love-skeptic Meryl Stern, who admits she once dismissed perfectly good men for crimes like “bad vibes” and “unfortunate first names.” (Her words.) But beneath all that discernment? A woman hiding behind a beautifully curated emotional wall.   Inside Ready for Love, Meryl didn't just “work on herself” — she resigned from decades-old childhood roles, stopped earning love by overgiving, and rewired her identity from martyring do-it-all to woman who actually receives. Now, she runs a luxury design firm with her daughter, just completed a 12,000 sq ft project featured in Architectural Digest, and treats dating the same way she treats client selection: You don't pick me. I pick YOU.   She's single, self-possessed, and fully uninterested in settling, which, around here, counts as a success story. Episode Highlights: When “I'm just independent” is actually code for I don't trust myself to choose well Why nitpicking men is just fear in fancy clothes The homework assignment that broke her identity wide open How healing self-worth bleeds into business, leadership, and money Dating rule #1: You don't get picked—you pick   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Meet award-winning designer & RFL alum Meryl 02:00 The moment she realized her “independence” was actually a wall 05:40 How journaling cracked her open 08:10 The resignation letter that rewired her self-image 12:30 Building a business with her daughter (without killing each other) 16:45 Her three-year AD-featured dream project 18:50 Current relationship status? Selectively single 20:30 The real measure of success: Would the old you tolerate this?   ✨ I'm Hilary Silver, LCSW, former psychotherapist turned master coach and founder of Ready for Love. I help high-achieving women show up in love as confidently as they do in their careers.

As the countdown for the Rugby League Ashes series begins, the new 'Rugby Reloaded' is the first of two episodes taking a deep dive into the cultural history of the Ashes to ask what it can tell us about Anglo-Australian relations over the past century. There was a time that it was seen as a contest between two 'British' nations fighting for rugby supremacy, and when the sheer ferocity of matches reflected the underlying tensions between the 'Mother Country' and the upstart Dominion. Even in the 1950s, Australian rugby league officials were telling RFL officials that they were just a British as them!

In the case of Parham v. Combs (Case No. 3:24-cv-07191-RFL), the plaintiffs—Ashley Parham, Jane Doe, and John Doe—filed an opposition to Defendant Drew Desbordes' motion for sanctions under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11. The plaintiffs argue that their claims are grounded in factual evidence and legal precedent, asserting that Desbordes' motion is an attempt to intimidate and silence them rather than a legitimate challenge to the lawsuit's validity. They maintain that their allegations are made in good faith and are supported by substantial evidence, thereby rendering the motion for sanctions unwarranted.Furthermore, the plaintiffs contend that Desbordes' motion misrepresents the nature of their claims and overlooks the seriousness of the alleged misconduct. They emphasize that the motion lacks merit and should be denied to uphold the integrity of the judicial process and protect the rights of individuals seeking redress for alleged wrongdoings.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.cand.437874.41.0.pdf
