Words from Brother Nasim on Manny

[Athrun340]

you sound like a liar athrun. if you're 5'8 165, you wouldn't need to lose weight. 4000 calories and above is beyond needed for bulking at that size. but again, you wouldn't be losing weight if you were 5'8 165.

umm im trying to cut down my bodyfat percentage?

[Heru]

Manny is doing what a lot of fighters can't really do, which is, fight at his natural weight.

90% of fighters, maybe more, fight at a weight where they have to eat less and dehydrate to make their fighting weight. Pacquiao did that before, but has now found out that he can remain among the elite at his natural weight.

Fight night weight is usually a boxer's natural weight. Not many fighters can be competitive there.

Michael Phelps consumes 12000 calories and still has a hard time maintaining weight. 8000 is about right. Boxing is not the same as bodybuilding.

This is also what I'm thinking and I was about to post it. Same brain wave length?

Yeah bodybuilding is far more different than boxing.

Where are Nasim's words?

[Vasyl’s dad]

what are you talking about. you have no idea or clue.

You might want to lay low awhile before talking about anyone else as being clueless.

[Vasyl’s dad]

you seem to be compensating by throwing insults. and no, 3000 calories for someone manny's size is around the optimum intake. obviously it might differ for an athlete.

You need to be warned about what you're dealing with.
