I will attack this. he looks super explosive.
I hope that muscularly I will gain in aesthetics too.
i start monday
hello I had not seen that you advise me the 2A.
I had bought the 1b but I just bought the 2a to do so because the volume is strong.
is there a lot of footwork its gonna kill me even more?
i have a friend who has program 1a and 3 if ever.
I want to attack tomorrow but I don’t know which one to do.Thank you
Mate,
Don’t take this the wrong way but you really need to improve your english writing skills. Sometimes it is difficult for me to help you because I’m having trouble interpreting your messages.
If you don’t know how to write, just use an online translating platform where you can type out your messages in french and the words will come out better. This will make it easier for users of this forum to help you and you will gain more respect as well.
Concerning training, stop paralysing yourself by trying to be perfect in every single detail of your training regimen and just train! Neurotyping is cool to give you a more custum made head start based on your neurological profile but it is not set in stone that you can only train according to your profile to get results. Even CT remains humble by admitting that he is often reevaluating and modifying elements of his systems, based on his own experiences with clients and himself, to keep improving.
Pick either the 1B or 2A program, use the modifications I listed for you in the previous messages and evaluate how you respond. Stop worrying, eat healthy (and enough), train hard but smart and sleep like a baby. Develop a habit and remain consistent. Results will come your way.
If you pick the 1B program, you can either use less volume per session or decrease the total training frequency (for example if CT has programmed 6 sessions per week, make it 4 and see how you respond).
If you pick the 2A program, it is the same principle because 2A’s alternate between high frequency and high volume. Just do less volume OR less frequency on the high frequency phases and less volume AND same frequency on the high volume phases. TRY, FAIL, ADAPT, GROW.
Constantly worrying about nailing every single detail of nutrition, training and sleep might do more damage to your progress in training than training itself. Remember, worrying also increases cortisol and systemic inflammation. Be kinder to yourself, have patience and if you want fast answers, seek ways to learn and educate yourself on the topics that interest you. Or hire a decent coach to do the work for you.

Thank you very much for the answer.and I already use Google translate…for this message I’ll try another one sorry I speak very bad English .
I will stop trying to be perfect I am so extreme in everything I do…I will do 2A then.
When it gets better I’ll do the 1a that’s the one I like very much.
Thank you again.
It’s alright man, I completely get it. When you are passionate about something, you want to excel at it and improve as much as possible to gain succes.
If used sparingly perfectionism can actually be a great ally in achieving succes. However, it more often than not puts a lot of unwanted pressure on you and it can be overwhelmingly irritating and eventually debilitating overtime if you start applying it to everything in life.
As a type 3 I must admit I have been a perfectionist myself for a long time up until the point that I wanted to have control over everything. This is so physically and mentally draining. You have to just let go sometimes, let spontaneity rule and accept that you can’t always be at 100% on everything you do. 80% gets you great results as well and once you have mastered something you will get closer to that 100%. I still catch myself being too perfectionistic from time to time but once I realize it, I put things back in perspective. This takes away so much pressure and makes you enjoy training and life again.
Always try to enjoy what you’re doing. What’s the point of getting great results if you don’t like the process? You probably won’t even get the results if you don’t enjoy the process (at least not long term results).
Thank you very much.
I will do one of the programs without taking it into my head to say 1b or whatever.
I will probably do 2a although I really like 1a.
Thank you for your kindness and patience.
explique moi en francais ton point de vue je vais tenter de te répondre avec mon expérience
Merci . Alors je te résume.
Je suis 1b en premier et 1a en second.
Je subis une fatigue intense depuis longtemps.
J’ai arrêté tout sport pendant 6 mois.
Désormais je veux reprendre la musculation.
Je suis compétiteur en MMA.
J’hésitais beaucoup à choisir un programme tous sont super .
Mais j’ai peur de trop en faire je me limite pas.
qu’est ce qui fais que tu as eu une fatigue intense ? prennais du des super supplements ? cetait quoi ta routine ?
Je m’entraînais deux fois par jour en MMA .mais j’étais en low carbs ,plus une période jeune intermittent et warriore diet.
Je suis resté pendant un an et demi deux ans comme sa a était draconien en diet
En faisant deux entraînements par jour.
Et petit a petit j’étais fatigue je dormais de plus en plus mal.et je suis devenu l’ombre de moi même.
J’ai pas l’impression d’être moi. Je suis quelqu’un normalement de courageux téméraire .au MMA je suis normalement agressif la j’ai l’impression d’être une peluche timide .
J’ai pris pendant ma pause de 6 mois bcp de stimulant. Tyrosine. Phénylalanine. Maca acetyl l carnitine…merci de ton aide
J’ai les programmes d’entraînement de tous les neurotyping pas la diète la j’ai que 1b
Presentement ta routine d’entrainement ressemble a quoi ? 3 training semaine thats it ? Tu manges équilibré ? Quels suppléments tu prends ?
En tant normal
Je fais lundi midi MMA
Lundi soir jjb
Mardi midi MMA sparring et conditioning
Mardi soir MMA
Mercredi MMA et muscu
Mercredi soir repos ou sparring sol
Jeudi midi lutte
Jeudi soir jjb
Vendredi sparring et conditioning le midi
Soir MMA
Samedi muscu
Actuellement en reprise
Mma mercredi et vendredi
Muscu 4 training
Complément actuel eaa intra et magnésium glycine uniquement . J’ai pris bcp de compléments sans aucune aide donc je diminue
Je mange équilibré et désormais j’ai rajouté des glucides de façon intense pour me retaper une santé… niveau compléments jamais un seul m’a aidé je trouve que c’est pas si efficace
J’ai débuter le programme 2a aujourd’hui
je trouve que tu en fais beaucoup encore, meme si les entrainements de MMA, Sparring etc ne sont pas comme l’entrainement en salle, ils sont quand meme hyper demandant
Actuellement jz Fais que mercredi MMA 1h et vendredi MMA 1h me temps d’aller mieux mon coach me laisse jusqu’à septembre récupéré
type 3 and stimulus addict here 
50+ years old try to do carb rich diet (cortisol level lowering ) but gaining fat more than muscle .? also like low rep heavy weights(secondary 1 B), but my CNS handle well recovery . What you think about HIT /HD type workouts but not to failure , more like 30/10/30 Dr.Darden method ?
thank you
Do you keep track of your calories and/or macros? Try sticking to a small caloric surplus (300 kcals tops) and use strategies to increase insulin sensitivity (regular movement, improved sleep quality, posing practices, drinking lots of cinnamon tea etc.) Keep track of your weekly average weight gain and make adjustments if necessary. It you are gaining to fast, consider doing a 2-4 week minicut after a 6-12 week cycle of bulking.
Well it’s unusual for a type 3 to have 1B as a secondary type (1A is more convenient) but CT does mention that there are type 3’s with high acetylcholine. High intensity and High density training work pretty well for a type 3 in my experience. Because these protocols produce lots of lactic acid and muscle fiber fatigue, they tend to feel like they have accomplished something from their training. This is probably so because 3’s have type 2B tendencies in the sense that they love feeling the burning sensation of their muscles working. This increases and confirms their perception of having had a good workout.
However if you have 1B traits and maybe (although very unlikely) have the ACTN RR gene, you probably won’t like lactic acid producing methods at all. Try it out and draw conclusions from your experiences.
Type 3’s can do anything, the key lies in controlling cortisol levels by making sure that they are FEELING well prepared for the task at hand. Not knowing what to expect from training or how to perform optimally increases their anxiety.
If you do not perceive very heavy loads as a potential threat and you actually thrive off of them, then I guess you are good to go on low rep work with slightly higher volume. But most type 3’s tend to do way better in the 6-15 rep range. They can occasionally (for example during a peaking phase) lift in the 3-5 rep range as long as the total workvolume is kept low.
I also have the urge to lift heavy from time to time because of my dominant 1A side, but I know that I can’t expose myself to lots of neurological work. Shorts bursts are fine, but not more than 1 exercise and no longer than 3 weeks. Otherwise it starts to affect my mood and sleep quality. Weirdly enough I also tend to feel fatter during an intensification phase in a lower rep range.
