In order to improve strength, do you think that it’s better to start the cycle easy (like 5x5 in which you star with 80 % of your best) and doing big weight gaps (10 kg more each session) or to start with your limit weigth and doing very little improvements (1kg more each session)?.
Regression Keto Diet:Isn’t more simple and less overcomplicated to follow a diet an doing a high carb day every 7-8 days at first, and then more frequently (every 5-6 days)?Excuse me Big Coach.

Pal60,
In the discussion part of the article CT explains the logic behind the diet. I hope this helps (note the last part where he talks about the metabolic switch)…
"1. More high fat days in the beginning to switch the metabolism to utilizing fat for fuel (establishing ketosis). A lot of people have a hard time with low-carbs dieting because their initial fat intake is not high enough (or their protein intake is too high, which leads to neoglucogenesis which makes it very hard to switch to a fat-first metabolism).
-
When the body is fat-adapted, fat intake can be lowered while still using it as a primary fuel source as long as carbs are not increased. At this point, more protein days are added which will prevent muscle loss (very little muscle loss will occur during the first week of a diet).
-
Then we gradually add higher carb days to prevent a fat-gain rebound
Furthermore, it has been shown that the metabolic switch that occurs when a diet changes drastically is one of the main reasons for the initial fat loss during a diet."

Don’t answer to Pal60 … he is a guy who used to spam me a few years back and actually sold some programs that I gave him for free. He comes back from time to time, changing his screen name but his writting style is easy to spot. He either use very bad english or cut and paste questions from others trying to pass them as his own.

Mr. Thib,
What are your favorite books on exercise science? My apologies if this has been asked.

Im not Thib but if you really want a good book about weight training read Zatsiorsky, “Science and Practice of Strength Training”.
When using the regressive Keto Diet how is the post workout shake figured in?
I saw that you recommend
.3 grams/lb body weight for protein
.2 for glutamine
.1 for glycine
I am having a hard time adding this to my already low protein intake of 180 grams for type 1 days. Also trying to stay at my calorie level and keeping the fat around 70%.
Thanks,
Beau
Hey coach, quick question:
A while ago, in the New Thib Zone, you suggested some exercises for a guy to increase his log press in strongman comp. Of special interest to me was the trunk stabilization program. Would anything be changed for someone looking to perform a caber toss in the highland games? I know the movement is essentially different, but would a program still be based on trunk stability of this sort?
Coach,
When trying your Regression Keto Diet after a bulk, would it be wise to spend a couple of weeks decreasing my energy intake and than starting the diet? Or can I jump into the diet straight from my current bulking energy intake?
Thanks,
Nick
Coach,
What is your stance on children/young teens and lifting? This isone area I’m completely in the dark on, all I know is when I was growing up I was told not to lift until I was in high school or it would affec my growth/bone development. Also, I plan on searching google scholar for some relevant articles, but are there are any standout ones that come to mind?
Hey CT,
Thanks for your quick response. Just had couple of other questions.
-
When I did the beast program (1-3) I was eating a diet similar to the one you prescribed for crewpierce. However, I was wondering if I could do more of a targeted carb approach and get good results on the program as long as I am eating enough nutrients?
-
I was thinking of adding some IBUR to the beast program the 2nd time around ( I want to focus more on keeping bf levels down than adding more weight)and was wondering if I were eating more of a targeted carb approach would IBUR be ok to preform?
thanks for your time, always appreciated.

Thib,
Is taking your temperature first thing in the morning using an oral thermometer a good way to get a feel for where your metabolism is at currently?
I’ve heard that since normal body temperature would be around 97-98 degrees, a one degree drop from there would indicate about a 15% drop in resting metabolic rate.

For phases 1 and 2 it might work; phase 3 will be a bit trickier. Remember, the goal of this program is maximum growth. While a targeted carbs approach is a good way to eat for fat loss and moderate gains while keeping lean, it is not optimal for maximizing growth.

If your goal is to get lean, the Beast program is not the best approach. And no, performing high intensity energy systems work with this program is not s good idea.
HI COACH
Recently you emphasize on mechanical drop set .It should wok because you said so .Now I really split my hair to find a way to use this system for my chest. Help!
hye Thib, im not sure how you run your client system or if you have openings but if I was to play hockey in canada next year what are the chances that you would have a slot to train me as a hockey plater or is that not how it works?
Coach …I think that the statement �??if you not go to failure in every set of strength training you can’t gain strength, because you can develop strength only in the last 1-2 reps of muscular failure�?? is a general recommendation about strength training that could be used at the beginning of the strength training.
In the case of advanced athletes, the refusal method could be used only in bodybuilding programs of in the part of the strength programs that finalised to the muscle muss gains.
