Thibs…so the Multi-Vitamin out the window? I’d rather save the $50 bucks a month and use for workout nutrition anyway, already taking a serving of Superfood a day. [/quote]
You spend $50 a month on a multivitamin?
Yeah…Usana’s the brand, rated one of the highest in absorbsion/quality. But not many at Biotest even use them based on conflicting studies. I do want to know the ratio of Zinc in the morning and Mag in the evening to use.

Tallest guy wins I guess… Since Camalerri and Gionta are Assistants at under 5’8’‘, you need Gill’s 6’7’’ frame to even it out.
What was your viral infection? Was it Coxsackie B? What did they recommend to get the titers down?

I have no idea. To be honest they didn’t diagnose it. I got sick a few days after getting back from Aruba. After a week I had problems breathing. Within 10 days I couldn’t sleep because I felt like I was drowning and I was retaining a ton of water. After 14 days my wife had to drive me to the hospital as I couldn’t breathe at all.
They put me on lasix, a broad spectrum antibiotic or something and some other medicine that I never cared to ask about. Then I had a ton of tests done on me. They kept me there for a week.
Turns out I suffered congestive heart failure from a cardiomyopathia (from what I can remember, I’m not a MD). The docs couldn’t find with certainty the source of the problem. They did more tests and three different cardiologists studied the case. They couldn’t make a clear diagnostic as to what it was. They theorized that it was either from a birth defect (the eco was showing something that could be interpreted as a cardiac malformation) or a viral infection.
I was on medication to prevent heart failure for a year. Went back for follow-up testing 2 months ago and there were no signs of birth defect, so this is why I am assuming that it was a viral infection.
That is some scary shit right there, I’m glad you’re OK.
While it’s scary to think a virus can do that, it’s good news that your heart problem was not from a birth defect. Obviously, you can kill a virus - but a birth defect is something you’re stuck with for life.
I know you’ve previously given some credit to Curcumin for helping your heart. I wonder if it doesn’t have some anti-viral properties in addition to helping the immune system. Some other foods/herbs are known to have anti-viral properties, like garlic for one.
CT,
I don’t know if this has been asked before, but what is the macronutrient and calorie profile per serving of Anaconda and MAG-10?
Since I currently use Surge Workout Fuel, I was looking for something I could either add or substitute to get a somewhat similar effect. But I guess that’s a lofty goal without knowing someone on the inside.
Also, do you think it would be alright to mix 5g of Creatine Monohydrate with my 2 scoops of Surge Workout Fuel 10-20 minutes before training?

I’m not about to reveal the composition of a product not yet being sold… some companies might try to steal the formula.

Who knows. I don’t think this would have anything to do about it since I started taking Curcumin a few months after the incident. It does, however stop and can even reverse cardiac hypertrophy (athlete’s heart) which is a cause of many heart problems.

Thib, what is your reasoning for using zinc and magnesium? Thanks.
it’s what is found in ZMA products, great stuff. Curious as to why he doesn’t just take that
Zinc is best taken in the morning and magnesium, at night. That’s why ZMA pills aren’t great.
Correct[/quote]
doesnt the magnesium, zinc and b6 complement the absorption of each other?
im pertty sure the ratio of magnesium to zinc is 22:1
so whats the use of separating them? isnt that why ZMA’s were produced for the exact ratio?
Thibs,
when you work-out your back-bi’s, do you stretch your chest-tri’s between sets?
(…and vice versa…?)

Not anymore. If I were to attempt a max lift, maybe. Sometimes I will at the very beginning of a session, but not on a set-to-set basis like I’ve done in the past.
Ha. I’ve been on a 3 day split PULL/PUSH/LEGS, but with 2 sessions a day. Sometimes I have a “rest” or “power clean and push press” day in between.
I’ve been making my 2 daily sessions almost identical. I like using your ramping techniques, ballistic techniques, etc. . .
How might I benefit from changing my sessions a little bit. Yesterday I did dips and bench:
warm-up:
2 sets of 6 pushups
1 set 5 dips
1 set 5 explosive dips
workout:
ramped bench to 145x5
ramped dips to 70 lbsx4
benched 135: 3 sets, 6 reps on first set, then dropped off a bit
dipped 70: 3x4
cooled down with 2 sets of 6 push-ups
Should I focus on dips in the am and bench in the pm or something like that?
How might I want to change my set/rep parameters?
I’m gonna start experimenting, but I want to know what you think first.
One more ?. I weigh 155-160. Doesn’t my dip look very strong compared to my bench. I can do 100 lbs full ROM. My bench is a little bit weaker now than it was 6 weeks ago, because I haven’t been doing it at all, but even so, my record is only 185. . . i care more about other lifts than bench, but it would be nice to hit 225
thanks in advance

I understand. What about answering that last question about the creatine and SWF? ^^^

Isn’t cardiac hypertrophy from cardio a good thing, compared to cardiac hypertrophy from high blodd pressure? I learned in one of my classes that exercise causes the heart to grow outwards, meaning the left ventricle stays the same size, but the muscle on the outside grows outwards, so it can produce more forceful contractions and eject more blood per beat. Compare that to hypertrophy caused from high blood pressure. The muscles on the inside of the L.V grow inwards, making the L.V smaller and unable to hold as much blood.

Correct. But I have a history of HBP from both sides of my familly and do suffer from HBP myself.
