Thanks for the answer.
There are no other options as I’m training alone?
Really like the program, but isometrics are making it impossible for me to complete all the phases.

Thib, what your opinon on hemp protein
CT, can you help me evaluate 3 options for workout nutrition (still gaining mass…but cleanly).
If working out right first thing I normally have just whey, then BCAAs during and Surge (1/3 serving) after.
Sometimes if I am hungry when I wake up this isn’t enough energy.
There are 3 solutions:
Eat more before bed so I’m not hungry. (perhaps more like 300 cal rather than 175-200)
Drink Surge during rather than after.
Eat some fruit with my whey
What would be best for lean gains? I have read enough that unfortunately I have trouble evaluating things…I can find reasons for or against all…
Thib,
When you first get a new client, what would a general outline of all the various things you document and test for before designing the initial training program look like? Also, would there be a different battery of tests for each of the following sub-groups: athletes, competitive bodybuilders, and “weekend warrior” types?
I fully understand if your professional commitments prevent you from discussing this type of stuff online but would be greatly appreciative of any information that you feel you would be able to share regarding thorough and proper pre-screening and pre-testing procedures.

It obviously depends on the client and the package he takes…

Most hemp protein products actually have a fairly low protein content (30-50% of the serving size is protein compared to 75-100% for various whey products), a lot of it is fiber and fat (albeit decently good fatty acids).
Personally I don’t see the benefit to it. I always prefer to have a product with the smallest variety of ingredients possible to be able to properly fit it in my diet. Furthermore, whey (and casein) has passed the test of time, why change it?
hey Tibs.
How much coconut oil do u put into your eggs?..or would you (if you dont)
It says 1 tbsp but my eggs were like floating in it, I now use 1/2 table spoon. How much do you use when you cook?
How do you feel about sardines?

CT recently posted this list:

(You can safely assume that green veggies is 1st)
Decreasing rest intervals(120seconds to 90) without changing load and volume is an excellent and viable method of overload/progress,it has also (apparently) hormonal benefits for hipertrophy?I normally use rep range to determine rest intervals 12-15 reps = 45s, 8-10 reps = 90s, 5-8 reps = 120s, and so on. 4-8 min for max singles.
Is there any chance to get help, guys?

Around 1/2 a tablespoon is fine.

Not my personal favorite, mostly because of taste. And it’s often packed in less than optimal oil.
Hy coach, here’s a short summary of my problem, Reading the article on “Reality show mass circuit…”, do you think I can start the season with this circuit (and if you think so, how long do I use it) or do you think is better if I start with a traditional (for example 5x5) strenght routine to “adapt” my body before moving to the circuit?
Hi CT, I have some questions regarding your Monday With Thibs series. Can you explain the rationale behind the regressive ketogenic diet? And comparing it to the regular ketogenic diet, which is better if one wants to spend 10 to 12 weeks to cut?
I am not going to pass judgement here as I understand that different people have different goals. To specifically answer your question I would implement the following: You will basically have 3 types of days
1.) 70%fat 30% protein carbs(trace)
2.) 50%fat 50%protein
3.) 40%protein 30%carbs 30%fat (iso-diet)
week 1
your days would go type:
1,1,1,2,2,2,3
week 2
1,1,1,2,2,3,3
week 3
1,1,2,2,2,3,3
week 4
1,1,2,2,3,3,3
This is based on Thib’s regressive ketogenic diet and should work well, hope that helps.
hello my first post here
i hope it hasnt been answered before
i am going to start HSS-100 program
i am interested in what tempo is recommended to use?
thank you in advance
Thibs, do other types of vinegars such as balsamic vinegar have some of the same health benefits as apple cider vinegar, besides lowering the glycemic index?
What do you think of boneless skinless chicken thighs? Boneless skinless breast are obviously a better choice. Thighs have about 3g fat per ounce compare to the breast at 1g per ounce. As long as the fat is being counted in the diet, would thighs be an alright choice?
Thanks
Thibs,
I have a question about your recommendation of ACV and cinnamon. You said not to add the acv to the shake was that just because of taste or does it lower the effectiveness?
Right now I add protien powder, BioBasics (vitamins, minerals and fiber), milled flax seed, and milk. Can I just add an ounce of ACV and teaspoon of cinnamon to that?
Thib,
In addition to finding a certified USA weightlifting coach, are there any resources(dvd’s, books, articles, manuals, etc.) that you’d feel comfortable in recommending for both learning the Olympic lifts(and their variations) as well as learning more about how to properly design programs for Olympic lifting?
I realize no resource can ever replace top coaching, but I was still curious about what other learning tools might be out there.

CT may be too modest to say this, but his Black Book of Training Secrets has an excellent 12-week program that takes you through various drills and exercises to get you doing the full lifts. As for DVDs, I’ve heard that Jim Schmitz has a good one but I don’t own it. Available from Ironmind.
