I've been tracking macros ever since I started lifting 2 years ago. I've made good progress but I'm starting to wonder if tracking macros really makes that big of a difference over just counting calories.

Is it just placebo? Other than protein, macro ratios seem to be pretty arbitrary most of the time.

if you eat high fat and high carbs you gain fat rapidly. either choose high carbs, or no carbs and high fat if you want to cut fat off your ass.

why do you think firemen need to be able to lift heavy stuff? they don't just need to pick up people, but heavy shit like wooden support beams of houses that are on fire and in their way of getting to people

Is lifting a flaming bar in full gear that different from lifting a regular bar in full gear? I don't see what purpose it serves if he's not in a reduced oxygen atmosphere to simulate being surrounded by fire.

As long as you eat enough things will fall into place. If you're worried about gaining strength no, there's no point in counting macros. If you're trying to get super shredded though you should probably count them yeah.

gear has oxygen tank on it so reduced oxygen zone is no issue for them
the heat and general fear of the thing you are picking up being on fire can be a concern so they try to train you to deal with it

honestly though, those plates are on fire because it's cool. that's the only reason they did that really. they could put them on fire easily, it's safe to do so, and looks cool. so why not?

>>41909850
Because it looks cool.

>>41909850
it's probably a fundraising thing

>>41909715
probably just a cool demonstration for some community event

>women can be firefighters

No they can't.

You can't eat high fat and high carbs if you're also hitting your protein goal unless you're eating way to much.

Go back to /pol/. Feminists suck but do you really need to bitch about them every chance you get?

Holy shit, I didn't look at the plates until now. Damn, this is legitimately impressive.
