Thibs,
What are you thoughts regarding the bodybuilding elbow flared out bench press, is the shoulder risk exaggerated?
Would it be okay to incorporate 2 of the 3 HSS 100 back workouts while working other muscle groups with a higher %rm but less volume. I’m thinking of splitting it up something like this
Day one: Squat/Dl (going heavy on one of them and some dynamic work for the other)
Day two: OFF
Day three: Benching (5x5 or 3x3)/ Incline flies (3x10)and lat width HSS100
Day four: HIIT sprint session
Day five: OFF
Day six: Lat thickness HSS100 and maybe some small muscle groups calves, triceps, etc.

Also speaking of the Metabolic pairings mentioned, are these the same as lactate inducing sessions in the sense that they are more like interval work and not real strength workouts so we should still perform 2-3 heavy strength sessions during the week in addition to these metabolic pairings 2x a week (I’m guessing 2x a week of these pairings would be good)?
Yes, however, contrary to circuits, metabolic pairings can be done at the end of a regular strength session.[/quote]
Interesting, thanks. Obviously intensity with bodyweight exercises would be pretty set because you know the weight you’ll be using but for any weighted exercises our goal is still more to get blood/lactate buildup rather than getting near failure or increasing strength each workout right?
Coach, what do you think is the best way of monitoring bodyfat during a maximal growth phase? I don’t have access to a biosignature practioner, I was thinking of buying skin calipers but Coach Poliquin recommended calipers that are £700 which is a little beyond my budget. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Coach,
Just purchased your Get Jacked program and would like to start right away. However, I have taken about 3 weeks off since last training. Would you advise I can start with week 1 or should I work into it?
DURING WORKOUT
20g of casein hydrolysate
*Note that Anaconda has several other ingredients that enhance its efficacy
POST-WORKOUT OPTION 1 (IF IN A MAXIMUM MASS PHASE)
Surge Recovery 2 scoops
POST-WORKOUT OPTION 2 (IN IN A LOW-CARBS FAT LOSS PHASE)
20g of casein hydrolysate
5g leucine
0.1g og glycine per pound

Thib,
In order to avoid interference with or a negative impact upon the overall efficacy of a para-training nutrition protocol like the one you posted above, how should the last solid meal prior to training be timed and are there any specific guidelines for that meal’s composition?
And as far as post training goes, what time, roughly speaking, do you find it optimal
to ingest the first solid meal after the above protocol? Is there a specific desired meal composition with this, or is that mostly dependent upon the current training phase and goals?
Hi CT. I have been changing my workout nutrition to include more carbs and I am not sure how much surge is too much and if I shoudl be using solid food.
I train about 1 hr after waking. usually about 15 min after I get up I have whey ( I thicken with xanthan) and I could either have nothing, fruit, or Surge.
How many g of carbs should someone about 115lbs consume (I’m still thin and realatively lean) pre-during, and post? How many g. of protein. And from what sources?
I have always gained fat when having Surge during so I’m scared of it, but I’ve been trying it for a week and it does give me energy. However it also makes me crash unless I eat a whole 2 scoops (double my old serving) AND more whey after my workout AND food 1 hr later…is that too much?
My workouts are a split now too - so often I’ll be eating this and only be training like my arms!!! Will I put on fat too fast if having all those fast carbs? Would I be better off low carb and high fat or having solid food carbs?
Also, I read your post about FAST protein PWO. Is putting xanthan gum in whey a BAD idea? How much does it slow down absorbtion?
Do you count cals from veggies - even if you subract off the fiber usual veggies have 20-30 cals (2g. protein, 2g. sugar, .5g. fat) If you eat 10 a day that is like 200 cals…
Or are they really so much work to digest that they are nothing?
hey ct,
im still deployed overseas just bout that time to get back home however ive been cutting since i got here i was 180 now im at 158-160 at 12-10%…not to sure how accurate that is due to we only have those hand grip things u enter ur weight in and height and it tells u.
my question is im looking to bulk up now, but how long should a decent bulking cycle be vs a cutting cycle? and im also at a sticking point on my bench im workin on 225 and it basically seems like its a day by day thing sometimes i get it sometimes not but it seems like it puts a lot of pressure on my front delts and it almost feels like my shoulders gonna pop?
any suggestions would be helpful thanks in advance
Can you recommend any herbs , vitamins , etc. that will help me cope with my Hyperthyroidism ? ? I have lost 20 lbs in the past month doing nothing ! The disease is progressively getting worse =(
I’m following your guideline of 0.3 grams of protein PWO, with glutamine and glycine with great success. I can order Casein Hydrolyzed, in this case, what amount is necessary for following your guideline? Can I use it pre and dur too? And last, can I mix it with glutamine, creatine and glycine? Or these aminos can interfere with its absorption.
Thanks in advance.
If you can have access to casein hydrolysate (most of you will very soon when Anaconda will be out) the best protocol to follow would be:
When adding cinnamon and apple cider vinegar to my diet as a cheaper insulin protocol, you mentioned taking the cinnamon prior to each meal and the vinegar with each meal. Now, this may eb a stupid, over analytical question, but would having them both at the same time(say as a tea, because the cinnamon mixes better in hot water) be okay, either before or aftet?

My only recommendation in such a severe case would be to go see an endocrinologist. The thyroid is too complex to mess with.

The last solid meal prior to the workout should be around 90 minutes prior to taking WORKOUT FUEL and it should be an easy-to-digest meal (e.g egg whites omelett with a small amount of fruits). Afterwards, the ideal situation would be to get a second shake 90 minutes after the first one. The shake would be similar in composition to the original post-workout shake (lower in carbs if you are trying to lose fat).
Pull the rope toward your abdomen while keeping the elbows straight down.
Complete the concentric portion of the movement by executing a scapular depression, which is basically the opposite action of a shrug (bringing the shoulders down instead of up). "
In step three you mentioned to “complete the concentric portion of the movement by executing a scapular depression,” but aren’t we suppose to keep the scapula depressed and squeezed together throughout the whole range of motion?

It’s fine[/quote]
I’ve never heard of that before, is it effective enough usually to actually notice a significant difference?
Also I just found the amino acid profiles to the protein I use and it says there’s 8.8g of leucine per 100g of protein and 13.3g of glutamic acid (is that the same as glutamine because thats not listed). since I take about 50g PWO would that cover your recommendation of 5g of leucine PWO?

Hey Coach, I just recently started the HSS 100 program and I was just wondering what you would recommend doing for arms. I read that doing the HSS 100 routine for both biceps and triceps would be too much so I really need some insight since my arms are the main body that is lagging. Sorry for such a broad question.
Would a workout drink consisting of 50g BCAA be enough to maximize the uptake of 30g of creatine? In other words, could I substitute glucose transporters like dextrose with bcaa during a loading phase of creatine? I’m on Dr. Di Pasquale’s anabolic diet so I’m looking for low carb alternatives. maybe leucine instead of bcaa?
Also, what is your opinion of ribose? There’s been some conflicting info going around about it.
thanks a million
