Your exact diet, very specific about food choices and quantities, how you measure and prepare your food. That would be most interesting.
Thanks for asking!

Chalk me up as interested.
Also, I’d just like to read about what you do and not tailor it towards any specific group.
For sure…the original was fantastic.
I’d also like to see your diet during each phase (ie meals, timing, ratios, foods, etc) and maybe even details on your supps too.
That would be icing on the cake. ![]()
Tell us what significantly improved your lifts.
Wow! Good feedback, y’all. You guys make me smile on the inside (despite the cursing you might hear).
I’m actually on my way out of town - heading down to watch MSU vs.Notre Dame live in South Bend and then Im riding my Yamaha down to Maryland (Assiteaque Island) for my last hurrah of the summer.
After this, I’ll put my nose to the grindstone - pop out the C of a T-man article and then get around to my less important writing project - writing up that dissertation (it’s due Nov 10th).
All of your suggestions were excellent (well, not all, but I thought I’d humor you). Quickly though, I’d like to reiterate that the first program as well as this upcoming one is designed for me BUT I’ve had much success with similar ideas in the programs of my clients. The idea that I’m somehow “super genetics boy” is false.
My genetics are programmed to allow me to be a bit leaner than most (if I do eat crappy, though, make no mistake, Im a fatty acid) but muscle mass is hard to come by in these parts. I’ve worked really hard for a consistent 11 years of training to get to where I am today - always training with partners who push me, always striving for more strength, more mass, more power.
I think alot of people around here spend too much effort worrying about gaining more information yet they don’t have great physiques. That’s 'cause too little effort is spent really exploring the boundaries of their own potential. For example, many of my clients increase their strength by 10% or more in just a workout or two with me. Interestingly, I dont think is a physiological adaptation. It’s simply the fact that I teach them where their true limits are. Often, they have an idea of what’s “too heavy” and simply talk themselves out of reaching their potential. Rather, I put more weight on the bar than they think they can handle and make them do it lest their teeth get smashed. They usually do it (sorry about the dental bills, Jimmy).
Anyway, remember, these programs I lay out are designed with a bit of flexibility. If the volume is a bit too high, just scale it back by a bit each week until you find the optimal amount of you. Don’t just scrap the program because it feels too hard from the start. Furthermore, the worst mistake most people make is going all out during the first week of a new program. During that first week, effort should be curtailed and with each week, effort should be increased until about the 3rd week in when you’re striving for maximum efforts. Then, after a few weeks at this intensity, it’s time to scale back. Programs, like diets, must be regularly altered based on your progress and recovery. That’s why our clients do so well. It’s not a magical program or diet - it’s the ability to constantly re-evaluate and adapt.
Well, that’s enough from me tonite. Thanks again for the feedback, peeps.

Awesome AWESOME quote, JB! And definitely something that most people here should think about more often.
