Let me know how I can help fellas!
 
Well thank you my friend for jumping in! My thoughts are that carbs and proteins should be combined post workout for sure, but the amounts and types of carbs used need to be adjusted to be in line with your overall goal at the time.
 
Thoughts on intermittent fasting vs smaller frequent meals? Or both of those vs. my technique of "eat when I'm hungry."

Good debate topic. :D

I believe that most of us have done very well eating 5-7 solid meals per day, starting with breakfast and then eating again every 2-3 hours after. Many an incredible physique, both natural and enhanced, have been built using this basic and time-tested methodology. Hell, I built well over 100 lbs of drug free muscle doing it like this and compete at 210-220 lbs at 3.5-4% body fat...again, drug free.

Now, do I feel there are some interesting variations on this theme that can be useful at times? Yes, ideas like carb back-loading and skipping meal 1 to catabolize fat can have some value and should be experimented with. Playing with nutrients at specific times to manipulate the hormonal cascade show some interesting effects in some and certainly have a physiologic basis.

But, just like the debate between steady state cardio vs HIIT, I have done it both ways and have gotten ripped both ways. I have been shredded on low fats, higher carbs and higher fats, lower carbs. Everything "works" if done consistently well and given enough time.

Each of us must find out what slight variations on the theme work best for us, just to make things a little bit easier and more efficient - but in the end, it is always blood, sweat and tears that gets the job done!
 
Amen brother! Thanks for taking the time to reply.
 
Training in high rep ranges. 15/20/25... Higher volume & chasing the pump and burn.

What are you thoughts on DOMs?

What are you thoughts/feedback on that stated above?

When approaching muscle hypertrophy we MUST understand that their are multiple pathways that lead to its fruition. No single rep range or training method is optimal, but rather a well-thought-out combination of protocols is necessary. Yes, chase the pump/burn some days and others lift heavy and others move the weight quickly and still others slow it down. VARIATION! Have you heard of my POWER/REP RANGE/SHOCK AND FIBER DAMAGE/FIBER SATURATION TRAINING PROGRAMS?

While DOMS is not 100% necessary in order to see new growth I DO believe it should be experienced to some degree to tell us we have damaged muscle fibers that will need to be repaired.

I'd be interested in this. I enjoy it from a powerlifting perspective but am not sure if it has merits for the sole purpose of aesthetics

Excellent tool for powerlifters and athletes. For bodybuilders something that can be thrown in now and again just to mess with your CNS a bit and make training interesting. Personally I have never used them in my OWN training.
 
This thread is GOLD and will only get better!

Keep it up COACH!

To piggy back this question, what are your thoughts on using EAA's + Carbs post workout then eating a whole food meal with protein and carbs 30 minutes later?

I REALLY like the PRRS DVD ;-)

If you don't have it ya'll should get it. It TRULY is a great DVD and the system is 2nd to none!
 
Eric, could you lay out a good stack/run with PNI's D-test and Paragon?
 
Will be getting to all questions this weekend. Have been away on business! Thank you for your patience.

I think this is a good practice, but alternatively you could also do whey hydrolysates/carb immediately post workout and then a meal 30-45 min later. Either will do just fine, although I do like the health/immune boosting qualities of whey biofractions.

As was mentioned, no need to run D-Test and Paragon together. D-Test can make an excellent adjunct to any other test booster out there that does not contain D-aspartic acid, while Paragon is a standalone that likely is the most powerful booster currently on the market. For most, 3 caps (1 w meals 1, 3, 5) per day for 4-6 week cycles will work wonders. That said, for guys over 200 lbs, perhaps 4 caps is a better dose.

Thanks Eric!!
 
Awesome! in the next week or 2 I"m actually going to do a 6-8 week run of D-Test then afterward I'll take a few weeks off and move to paragon. Very excited about where these products will take my training and physique!
