Go through Thib’s old thread, he states it numerous times. That’s what search is for. Basically, most of the population is at least somewhat lactose intolerant, ergo dairy=food allergy=fat gain. I know I’ve cut out pretty much all dairy, very occasionally I’ll have some cottage cheese, but that’s it and it’s made a huge difference in how I feel and how I look.

CT,
While looking at the description of an NKO product, it said, “Neptune Krill Oil contains three important phospholipid: phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylethanolamine. These phospholipids contain a high proportion of EPA and DHA, and resemble human brain phospholipids. Two Neptune Krill softgels contain 300 mg omega 3 fatty acids, 90 mg EPA, 150 mg DHA, 400 mg phospholipids, 73 mg choline, 1.5 mg astaxanthin, and 100 IU Vit A.” The bottle says to take 2 softgels for 30 days and 1 softgel on days thereafter.
If rotating in NKO for a time in place of something dosed like Flameout, how would you alter the dosing? i.e. If normally taking between 4 and 8 Flameout per day, what dosage of NKO would be appropriate?

I do not recommend krill oil. As coach Poliquin told me, the demand in krill oil compared to the availability of quality raw material is too high. As a result the almost totality of krill oil on the market is of poor quality.

Coach,
What brands of whey isolate do you recommend?
Thanks[/quote]
There are only 3 companies I trust 100% and will vouch for…
Biotest
Poliquin
A Canadian company called XPN
Among those 3 only XPN has a pure isolate product. But I have recently moved away from isolate and moved into concentrate because the concentrate actually has several microfraction that have immune-boosting properties and isolate doesn’t have them.

Sorry to double post. Would Alpha Male be something to try if a person is VERY psychologically stressed out? I’m 22 so I know that test boosters may not be something I should take but I was interested in what you have to say about it. Thanks a lot.[/quote]
No, something like Power Drive would be a better choice. Phopsphatidylserine would be a must too IMHO.

No, it simply means that you are performing your back work properly.

ct,
where would grits fall in your choices of carbs?
Are they better than oats?
About equal[/quote]
really? i always thought grits were more like a white starch, not as good as oatmeal.
where would cream of wheat fall into your list as far as a quality carb?

With this in mind, what are your current recommendations for low carb pre- and peri-workout nutrition, same as in “Supplementation for Newbies” or “Refined Physique Transformation” or has it changed drastically from those? i saw your earlier post that said .3g/lb whey, .2g/lb glutamine and .1g/lb glycine for post-workout so i got that covered.
coach, you said before (in regards to hypertrophy) that it is not only important to recruit HTMU’s, but also fatigue them. is it possible to do so with total body workouts (like 3-4 sets per muscle group)? should intensive methods be used if you’re training a muscle group with low volume but high frequency?
hi CT i have a somewhat complex question. im a bit confused on your diet recomendations. For some trying to lean up you reccomend a low carb or keto diet set at about 1.5g p, 0.5g f and around 30 g daily. My question is once someone is relativy lean 8-10 % and want to add some muscle what do you recommend on your targeted carb diet? would you just add carbs on top of this or would you lower fat intake and add carbs? or do you reccomend your 40p, 40c, 20f diet for some one trying to maintain lean mass and slowly gain>?
Thibs…
I am finishing up my 5 days OFF from the Beast Building series and looking forward to the 2-3 weeks of low-volume training. I just finished reading your “Pump Down the Volume” article that you referenced in one of the T-Cell Alpha posts. I’m assuming this would be a good example to model my low-volume training after?? Also…, I probably missed it in the article somewhere, What are the reps ranges we’re shooting for? (3,5,8,12) ? I will be doing each body part once per week for 4-8 sets per part, but unsure of the weight to use for the desired reps.
Thanks for your time…

CT wrote about this in his previous thread. he recommends 40 40 20 to people who are carb tolerant if i remember correctly. and i think he said earlier to GRADUALLY move into a muscle building diet because your body is probably not used to being that lean, so slowly upping the nutrients until you gain at a reasonable rate will prevent massive fat gain. don’t know about the carbs thing.

my concern was when adding carbs, lets say a post workout shake to start, do i remove some fats from the diet. obviously i wont have fats with my post workout shake but as a total macro breakdown. im currently doing the keto type approach taking in 315-322g p, 100-103g f and under 35 g c. so when i add cabrs back to the diet lets say in the form of a post workout shake wich has about 55g carbs should i subtract some fats from a meal or just leave them in until a certain point?
CT,
Do you think Janda sit-ups(either using a dedicated unit like Tsatsouline’s Ab “Pavelizer” since my current gym has one or a partner-assisted version) are a useful ab exercise?
And do you have any tips on how to ensure maximal abdominal effort in hanging leg raises while minimizing hip flexor contribution? I’ve also been wondering if the goal of these is to flex the hips as far as possible under control while using the abs solely to preserve spinal stability or if the goal is to actually posteriorly tilt the pelvis and flex the spine like a reverse crunch?
Coach, I have cranked up my conditioning work and have noticed that whether pushing (low handle prowler) pulling (sled), long sprints, etc my VMOs are the ones that seem to ‘suffer’ the most or at least star burning like a motha’ before ANY other muscle. They often tighten up and/or twitch during the day. I do vast soft tissue work and also take epsom salt baths a couple times per week. In addition, I take my zincs and magnesiums aspartate/citrate (AM and PM) religiously.
Are they weak, or are they overpowering the lateralis or what could be happening here?
I’m training for the 300-yard shuttle, which is our conditioning ‘test’.
Thanks a lot.

It’s actually a good news and not to be unexpected.
-
The VMO is the muscle that should be involved the most in the last decree of knee extension
-
It is a small muscle, as such metabolites can accumulate much more easily which creates that burning sensation.

It would be better if I “searched” first, then asked a question…instead of the opposite. I found my answer in the article discussion forum. Thanks for the info!!
****Just in case someone else was wondering too…This is the post from that discussion.
The ‘starting point’ that I recommend is the 6-8 reps range intensity zone for compound movements and 8-10 reps range intensity zone for isolation work.
That is the ‘starting point’ as I mentioned. The first step of a set is basically a regular set to failure, THEN you add post-failure techniques.
So for example if you decide to perform a regular + rest/pause + hold set you do:
6-8 reps to failure; rest 10-12 seconds; perform more reps again to failure; then hold the weight at the mid-range point for as long as you can.
Coach thib when is the next physique clinic i want to work w/ you
