Ask James: Intermittent Fasting, Whole Body vs. Split Routines, Small vs. Large Muscle Group Recovery, & Meal Frequency and Muscle Building
This edition of "Ask James" is a great one! In this edition, I give detailed, evidence-based answers to the following questions (with references to research):
- What is the compensatory effect of fasting on subsequent calorie intake (i.e., if you do intermittent or alternate day fasting, will you end up eating more on your normal days)?
- Should beginners only do full body routines? Is it worthwhile for beginners to do isolation movements, or should they just do compound movements?
- The bro lore says that smaller muscle groups recover faster than larger ones, and therefore you can train them more frequently. Is this true?
- Is more frequent eating better for building muscle? If so, is it enough to be noticeable?
