I’ve known about it for a long time as Tim Patterson kept me informed while it was being developped. This is one of the rare supplement that truely has me really excited. Now I just got to find a way to get it into Canada.

Is there a way to make your abs thicker or that is mostly genetic? Are there ab exercises that can actually develop your abs or should a person seeking he golden six-pack (assuming that bf levels are low) tick only to squats and DLs?
Weighted ab work. Abs made of muscle tissue that is similar to other muscle groups. If you want to make your biceps bigger you have to lift weights, not do endless sets of a curling motion without using any weight!

By the way, what do u mean when you say that some people need to dehydrate to see abs. I cant grasp this concept can you explain? (seems unhealthy too)
I was just saying that some peoples have abs that are so thin that unless they have absolutely no fat on their stomach they wont see their abs. And that some might even blur the little abs that they have if they are retaining water.
I DO NOT recommend dehydrating yourself just to see your abs, this was more in reference to competitive bodybuilders.
Thank you very clarifying…
Are there any superior exercises? Have you written an article on this issue?

Hey Coach CT,
For a glycogen depletion workout (such as outlined in your Get Shredded in 6 days article), can a leg extension & RDL superset replace all the squat/lunge variations and still remain effective?
I ask this because I’m having patella femoral and meniscus problems in my left leg leaving me unable to squat, lunge or do step-ups without pain.
Thanks!
Thib,
Is there any general rule of thumb for helping a person find the “sweet spot” where he’s leaving an exercise selection in his program long enough to maximize strength and hypertrophy gains as much as possible while avoiding leaving it in for too long and possibly accumulating overuse injuries and limiting overall motor unit pool recruitment?
It seems like you could just say leave it in as long as you’re not stagnating, but that seems more conducive to strength and not necessarily prevention of repetitive stress injuries and maximizing overall hypertrophy.
CT,
Of pronated pull-ups semi-supinated pull-ups, and chin-ups,; would chin-ups be the best of the 3 for lat growth due to the biceps and forearms taking longer to fatigue in this version, as well as the emphasis on humeral extension, or would one of the other 2 choices be superior since the biceps would be much less involved?
Or would it ultimately come down to the strength ratio of an individual’s arm flexors? I realize all choices should be used to maximize MU recruitment, but I was just curious if one choice would stress the lats more so than the others.
And do you feel that that using various grip types and grip widths can shift the stress to different portions of the lats as well as the other musculature involved?
Regards,
Declan
Coach, I’ve always noticed that I can’t really flex my left bicep. When I try I only end up contracting my forearm but the right bicep flexes easily. I was thinking I may have some type of neural problem which may be why my arms overall are relatively underdeveloped.
I used your program from quick tips training bi’s 3/wk in order to hopefully correct it. My question is frequency the way to correct it or is there something else I should be doing because although it seems a little better, most of the growth I got on the program was definitely in my forearms although my bi’s are alot stronger.
If you’ve got any other suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Hey coach CT,
Regarding the carbs before bed subject: What would be an ideal carb food to intake before bed? What would be some of your personal choices? I was thinking possibly whole milk and almonds, or maybe metabolic complete if on the go.
Thanks in advance
Coach,
whats your opinion on mayonnaise? I often hear about how bad it is but the majority of the fats are healthy (only 1.5/10 are saturated). Is it the soybean oil thats bad, and if so whats wrong with soybean oil?
Thank you for your time

Coach, does the tibialis muscle have potential for big growth or not?
Thib, sent you an e-mail to your hotmail. Not sure if you still go by the same addy, but if you do I am sure you got it.
Hi coach!!
And thanks for your ALA comment… I did some studying and have my facts straight now.
About twice a day training… you recommend training the same muscle groups both AM and PM. Could the same approach be used with weight training and HIIT type ESW??
Maybe… AM: HIIT swimming, PM: chest/back or AM: legs, PM: HIIT running.

Yes, that is not a bad idea. BUT be careful when selecting the type of training you do first in your day. HIIT is not like low-intensity cardio: it WILL have a negative impact on your strength performance.
So if your priority is to put on muscle mass, do the strength workout first. If it is losing fat, do HIIT first. And these days would be very hard on your body so don’t do them more than once or twice a week, unless you drastically reduce the amount of strength work.
When you split your strength work into two workouts, you normally divide your normal volume into two sessions, you do not perform two sessions at your normal volume. In the case of HIIT + strength, then HIIT takes the place of a second strength session so the first strength session should be lower in volume then if you had only one workout on that day.
