You’re talking about ice hockey right, a sport in which brawls between players, sloppily beating the shit out of others’ faces, is not only accepted but expected? No way dude.
Pro Soccer takes that cake, though I must say playing it recreationally can get FUCKING rough (says more about my circle of friends than anything, fuckers)
You know whats funny?
I follow CT’s pre-peri-post ideas… I take the “right” supps…and follow the “right” training guidelines…
Recently I went to Officer candidate school… No supps…no pre-workout protien drink… Random training early morning…
5-10 mile runs every day…
No heavy lifting.
1000’s of pushups and flutter kicks…
You know what?
I lost fat.
I got stronger.
Go figure.

CT,
Suppose you could only train once per day, how would you modify your current regimen?[/quote]
I couldn’t modify it and keep it the same. I would have to change the system completely.

You lost fat when running 5-10 miles a day…shocker. How do you know you got stronger?

Yet, you can’t even put 2 and 2 together.
OCS, must be hurting for candidates these days.

Do not repeat your previous routine(s).
Coach -
If you were only training once per day (obviously with different routine, one that fall sinto the usual 60-75 minute duration), would the nutritional aspect recommended follow this (from one of your other posts):
“Right now I am using 2 Finibars 45 minutes prior to training, 3 scoops of Anaconda and 3 scoops of MAG-10 protein prior and during the workout (3 scoops of each total). With Alpha-GPC 90 minutes prior.”
Also, are you still incorporating the low protein day on the off day of your 3 days on - 1 day off cycle?
Thanks again for helping everyone obtain better bodies through research / education - following your research is like graduate school for gym rats (ramping, explosive turns / force on the reps and autoregulation have elevated my training to an entirely new level)! The best part is I actually look forward to the tests (daily training sessions) …
Does your wife give you a lift off on the bench?
Hi CT,
Are you planning to run this training setup for a particular period of time and then switch to another program?
Or, have you determined that this is the best program design for putting on lean mass and plan to stay with it for an extended period of time?
Do you still implement low protein days for your athletes and yourself?
In fact there is nothing I love more than read, talk and learn about training= you forgot something CT your wife…i hope!!! hahahah

No program is best forever. I believe that max force training… max turnaround force, accelerating as much as possible, ramping and autoregulation will ALWAYS be the foundation of my training. But the training parameters will change as needed.
Have you rarely done any Oly lifting-specfic stuff recently ?
Taurine, used in doses of 3-6g per day is used with much success in Japan for BP. Once you get your numbers under control, you can back off to the minimal dosage needed. The nice thing is that it addresses both hyper and hypotension. It is called a “normotensive” therapy. My mom has used with success.

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.
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.
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.
Coach, I was recently diagnosed with HBP also. How are you treating yours? Not sure if medication is the right choice or if there are alternatives. Thx [/quote]
CT, how many mg of zinc are you taking? I read somewhere that taking over 100 mg of zinc is bad.

It’s ‘bad’ if you are copper-deficient and only if done for a long time. I actually load up with 150-200mg a day for 2 weeks and gradually lower my intake to 75mg a day.
Did I read MAG-10? Are you still using that?
I bought that so many bottles of those pro hormones years ago. Did they not discontinue it?
OOP’S… found my answer under the “Lets be honest” thread. I was not aware of the protein MAG-10, did not see it in the store…I still don’t. I just remember the original MAG-10, great stuff. Sorry.
Coach,
Can this training split be used for twice a day training instead of 3 training sessions a day? I have access to my school’s gym in the morning and access to another gym at night. So, essentially, will the results still be effective if I use the correct ramping/autoregulation protocols but remove one of the lifts that you do? If not, what changes or additions will I have to make?
Also, how effective is this style of training for a fatloss diet? Should any changes be made for it to be applicable in a low-carb/low calorie state (given that the correct para-workout nutrition is being used)?
Thank you for your time!
