What happens if you do a bodybuilding workout without a bodybuilding diet?

What is a "bodybuilding diet". A bodybuilders diet can range from as many as 8,000Cal/day if not mroe to as little as a 1000.

 

You see all of those guys who go to the gym all the time, but their bodies never change.
That's what happens.

A completely untrained person; however, would see some gains in the beginning.

 

You Die

Protein is very important as it is the main ingredient in building muscle. It completely depends on what type of gains you are looking for. If you lift weight with extreme intensity 3-5 days a week, and have a low caloric diet you won't gain any mass at all.

Pretty simple formula..

More calories, More protein = Mass

Less calories, less protein =weight loss

Diet is 90% of training. I cannot tell you how often I see people going to the gym for months, and seeing almost no gains because of what they eat. I gained almost 150 pounds on my bench press in a lil over a year from eating high protein foods..

Decide what you want to do...Do you want to get stronger? (eat more) or do you want to lose fat? (eat clean)

 

Isn't this a boxing forum?

Anyway, Chris is exactly right.

 

Bodyweight is entirely down to diet. If you eat at a calorie surplus and lift weights you'll build muscle. Eat at a deficit and you'll burn fat and maybe lose some muscle as well.

You just need to figure out your maintenance with all your training and build your diet around that rough figure.

 

Backup calories? What?

You need to work out how many calories you burn on normal days and how many you burn on training days. Add 500 cals to gain mass, take away 500 to lose mass or consume that amount to maintain.

I've seen very few people overtrain. 99% of the people who think they are overtrained because they have no energy or whatever are just undereating.

 

Diet has nothing to do with overtraining. Overtraining would be something like bench press 4 times a week, or squats 4 times a week something like that.
