I have no idea. Ask Dave.
Coach, I cannot afford the ANACONDA protocol, but I do have Surge Recovery, some Grow! Whey, and am considering buying some Surge Workout Fuel also. Using these supplements, is there a way to create a pre-workout insulin surge that comes anywhere near what the ANACONDA protocol produces?
Thanks.

check the old periworkout thread in cts forum…using FINiBARs, Surge Recovery and Surge Workout Fuel you can make a protocol

CT,
Im in a gym with only DB, no BB. When using the perfect rep idea, are these excersizes good?
DB bent over row
Smith machine military press
smith machine close grip press for triceps.

All of those are fine, yeah but you’ll never get the same definition without bb’s in my experience. Why isn’t there any in your gym? If you ask the manager he’ll probably look into it

What are your thoughts on research suggesting a high serum level of vitamin D causes degeneration of the supraspinatus?
Also, do you have to force yourself to read literature of this type? I find it very boring no matter how much I love the field, they use excessively complicated wording simply to confuse the readers and other researchers (some researchers told us they do this!) and I would much rather read a training book than literature. I can however appreciate the relevance and importance some of it has to strength coaching.
Thanks.

Oh yeah, reading literature… especially about supplements, nutrients and nutrition can be pretty boring and harduous. And oftentimes it is not directly applicable to real life anyway. I love reading studies about muscle action, adaptation and stuff like that as I’m better at making links and thus finding ways to use the info in real life.
As for the vitamin D study. I would have to look it over. I have not read that one.

Is this the study you’re thinking of: http://www.jbjs.org.uk/cgi/content/abstract/91-B/12/1587
Here is a quote from that study: In general, a lower serum level of vitamin D was related to higher fatty degeneration in the muscles of the cuff.

Are these researchers actual professionals (PhD?) or are they still students? Because that’s very unprofessional for a researcher to do. A professional emphasizes clarity in writing.
I first posted this on the perfect rep forum, but after reading more posts of this forum I felt that my questions are much better suited for this one, please don’t take my 2nd posting here as impatience, I just thought more people would benefit from your answers here. Thank You Mr. Thibadeau.
Hello Mr. Thibaudeau, first off I want to say that your work is nothing short of amazing and everything you wrote about the perfect rep and auto regulation has drawn me in. I have some questions though, earlier in the forum you wrote an overview of your current training split, its this post right here:
- Actually, right now I’m training this way:
DAY 1.
Exercise 1. Lower body power exercise
Exercise 2. Lower body deadlift-dominant
Exercise 3a. Upper body horizontal pull
Exercise 3b. Upper body horizontal push
DAY 2.
Exercise 1. Lower body power exercise
Exercise 2. Lower body squat-dominant
Exercise 3a. Upper body vertical pull
Exercise 3b. Upper body vertical push
DAY 3.
Repeat day 1 with different exercises
DAY 4.
Repeat day 2 with different exercises
DAY 5.
Beach work
Here are my questions; I know you are a busy man so if you have time I would be very thankful for any answers.
1.) Would it be ok to have a break between repeating those 2 Total Body days, for instance having day 3 off and than repeating the two days on day 4
2.) After Day 5 do you instantly repeat this kind of cycle, or take an off day?
3.) Could you give 1 Example week with this kind of split with specific exercises?
4.) In your Training Log you seem to mostly do 1 Exercise instead of the Mix of Exercises you explained above, is this because of the time of year now, because you are busy or a change in plan?
Thank you for taking the time.
Looking forward to reading more on your training!

Sure. You can have off days whenever you want. However I do not have them on specific days myself, but rather if I really feel off, sick or busy.

Either is fine… see my answer to your previous question
-
I don’t like to do that. It always end up that everybody takes this as gospell and copy and paste it as being ‘Thib’s ideal program’ whereas it’s merely an example.
-
Normally I actually spread the exercises throughout the day. For example one movement pattern in the morning, one movement pattern in the afternoon, one movement partner in the evening. But because of the holydays my plan got screwed.
PLUS I’m trying to get back to the olympic lifts and realized that I had to work more on my technique. So I switched to a ‘re-learning the OL’ plan for a while.
Thank you so much for answering all my questions so quickly. To your answer on my 3rd question I can very much understand that, and since everyone is different the exercises and everything with it will look, of course very unique to the individual. Thanks again.

Actual PhDs, they have plenty of literature out there. They said it was especially obvious when there’s two researchers with opposing views on the same subject completing studies basically to disprove the others theory. Really makes me want to listen to 140 lb lecturers tell me no-one ever needs more than 160 grams of protein and no-one should ever take protein shakes.
Hey Thib,
When doing stiff leg dead lifts…do you let the plates actually touch the ground while doing them…or do you stop just short so they are in a hanging position…thanks

OK - so then by supplementing with necessary amounts Vit D3 you actually protect muscles of cuff.

That’s the way I read the abstract. JK seemed to have phrased it backwards in his original post.
Coach, Ive seen several times in the forums an example for how to schedule nutrition based on a early(3hr after wakeup) or 2x a day schedule. Unfortunetly im stuck working out late afternoon (6pm) after waking at 5am. Currently my diet looks like this…
5:30am- 2 scoops Grow! Whey
5:50am- bowl of oatmeal
1 banana
9:00am-6 whole hardboiled eggs
1 apple
11:00am- 3 servings broccoli
8oz chicken breast
handful almonds
3:00pm- 2 scoops Metabolic Drive
6:00pm- workout w/ ANACONDA protocol
8:30pm- 10oz lean red meat
more broccoli
green salad
10:00pm- 2 scoops Metabolic Drive
i also take Flameout w/ each protein shake
Ive been trying to incorporate perfect rep/autoregulation in each of my workouts.
Im currently 6’ 4’', 235 about 14% bodyfat been training for 5 years… how would you differ my nutrient intake based on the late workout. I seem to maintaining alright but i dont really seem to be gaining any muscle mass or losing bodyfat in fact i may be slowly putting on bad weight with this current schedule but i feel like my calorie intake is still low for my size.
Also how would you work the perfect rep technique/ auto reg with only one workout late in the day. Would you still only do 3-4 exercises or would you bring it up to 6 and have a longer workout since your only working out once a day to maximize gains… obviously dependent on how that day goes add or subrtact from the number of exercises.
Thanks Coach, looking forward to your response i feel stuck at the moment.
coach in leg press exercise which version is more dificult to perform and why?(the horizontal the vertical or the 45 degrees version?)
