Part I
There is no such thing as an "essential carbohydrate".
If a product uses a variation on the name of a real steroid, it is shite -- If it
combines the name of two steroids.......
For maximum hypertrophy, always emphasize the eccentric portion of a
movement.
Creatine is not stable in an aqeous solution.
Squats are not bad for the knees. Ass-to-grass squats are not bad for the
knees.
Eating less than 10% of your calories from fat is not a goal.
Muscle size and knowledge are not necessarily correlated -- Knowledge and
"Certified Personal Trainer" status almost never are.
Machines are not safer than free weights.
If you want to gain muscle -- overeat. If you want to lose fat -- diet. One
cannot overeat and diet at the same time.
Part II
Practice progressive overload (along with adequate rest to allow recovery
and supercompensation) in all facets of training -- not just muscular. This
includes the nervous system (HIT), vascular system ("pump" training), and
the glycogen system (depletion workouts).
Always employ a liquid post workout meal. On a diet, this would consist of
about 50g dextrose, 40g whey, and 5g of creatine. On a mass phase,
100-150g dextrose, 50g table sugar, 10g creatine, and 40-50g whey. 2-5g
glutamine peptides are optional with both. Follow this with a regular meal
30-45 minutes later.
"Cheat days" are for gluttons. Purposeful overfeeding is another matter
entirely.
Calories: Diet = 10-12 per pound. Maintenence = 14-16. Mass = 18-20
Protein = 1g/lb LBM at maintenence - increases by an equal percentage for
each percentage caloric intake varies from maintenence.
Change is the key to continuous improvement -- Cycle everything - reps,
sets, tempo, rest period, exercises, exercise order, grip size, grip position,
supplements, drugs, calories.
Eating on steroids - increase protein by 1g/lb/g of androgen. Increase
calories by 10/lb/gram - with a ratio of about 50/30/20 carb/protein/fat.
Always use an explosive concentric phase during a movement.
Most routines leave the muscular system underworked -- "Overtraining" is
almost always neural or endocrine in nature - it is almost impossible to fully
tax the muscle without first overrtraining the other two. The quickest way to
overtrain: CNS = HIT style training. Endocrine system = long workouts (1+
hours). Muscular system = eccentrics.
To ensure a pool of available amino acids and an anabolic hormonal milieu,
train on as much food as can comfortably be tolerated.
A bagel is not a meal. The addition of cream cheese to the bagel does not
alter this fact.
Fat is NOT beautiful and should NOT be accepted.
Acute changes in leptin expression are a result of glucose metabolism.
Thus, carbohydrates are the foundation of a proper refeed or mass phase.
Train slow, become slow.
There is nothing about 6:00 P.M. that makes carbohydrates consumed
after that time point magically alter the laws of thermodynamics.
One cannot elongate one's muscles, despite what the followers of Mr.
Pilate might say to the contrary.
There is a good reason why legitimate scientific studies utilize a control
and perform statistical analysis on data obtained in the study. Namely,
data obtained and conclusions drawn in lieu of these methods are shite.
