Hey coach,

I am just curious, how does your current strength and power level compare to when you were an olympic lifter?[/quote]

Upper body is a bit stronger, squat is lower, deadlift is about the same, snatch is lower a bit, I’m not currently doing cleans.

In “most” of you own diet plans!You tend to get your carbs from low gi fruits and Surge!

Are these fruits ok even when someone is trying to lean out!

And why do you choose to eat fruit"simple sugar"over other complex carbs?

  1. Carbs intake should depends on one’s degree of leaness. The leaner you are, the more carbs you can eat

  2. Things are more complex than just saying simple and complex carbs. Fruits are superior to most complex carbs because they provide more minerals, vitamins and phytonutrients. They also have a lower caloric density, meaning that it takes a much bigger portion to have as many calories as with complex carbs like bread, pasta, oatmeal, rice, etc.

In your THib SYstem you recomend, when training strength-speed, to do as many reps as possible until speed slows down with about 50% of your max.

I tried this today and got nearly 20 reps or so, depending on the exercise.

If i’m going until speed slows down (like watebury suggests) does it not matter how many reps I get, so long as i’m usig the correct percentage of max.

Thanks

hey coach i decided to take leucine after u endorsed it but when i take it with meals the powder is unpleasant to eat it with and when i put it in water it doenst dissolve at all
so i just put the scoop of leucine in my mouth and down it with a cup of water

i was wondering if that will give me the same benefits

and i was also wondering how you yourself take leucine

thanks coach

CT,

I noticed that the courts up in Canada the other day granted obese people the right to two seats on an airplane for the price of one, which might just be the saddest damn thing I’ve heard in a while. I’d ask for your thoughts but I doubt there’d be any surprises.

I did have a question regarding cold(er) weather and caloric intake given that the body tends to churn a few more cals to keep the fire stoked when it’s colder (I think) and I was wondering if it would advisable to compensate for that effect and if so by how much?

Thanks coach.

CT,

I know u recommend somewhere in the ball park of 1.5g’s of protein per lbs but for someone getting there diet in order, trying to kinda lean out at bit and gain some mass (basically fat-skinny fat person) is 1g per lbs still acceptable for decent gains?

so would the sugar"fructose"from the carbs not hinder leaning out?
If was in there allowance of carbs?

It depends on activity levels, metabolic rate, protein turnover rate and the rest of your diet.

Generally I’d say that yes, it’s possible, but it’s not ideal.

I mentioned a zillion times that fructose, despite it’s name, is not the ‘‘dominant’’ sugar in a lot of fruits.

Furthermore, it is high-fructose corn syrup that is bad, not fructose itself.

Finally the amount of carbs in a piece of fruit is low. So it’s easier to stay without your allocated carbs level without feeling like you’re starving.
