Need info about The Anabolic Diet and/or The Anabolic Solution for BB

[AgainstAllOdds]

Have any of you read either The Anabolic Diet or Anabolic Solution for Bodybuilders? Both are by Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale.

I've heard a lot of great things about both books, I need details about what he recommends for gaining mass.

Does it cover training at all?

I have anabolic solution for powerlifters and I would recommend it. It does not cover a lot about training, but does throw in a general routine for each different phase of the diet. The mass phase of the diet is similar to the others, just more calories and maybe a longer carb up. It covers some of the science behind the diet and explains how and why it works.

From what I understand the basics of the diet are the same with a few differences in the phases. He covers contest prep in the book and I imagine that would be different.

I suspect it's different from the bodybuilding version though. My goals are strictly mass and not powerlifting.

How many calories does it say to consume for mass? Does it give any other details regarding diet?

 

[overhead]

Mass phase starts between 20-25 cals per pound adjusted until you gain about 2 pounds a week. There are a ton of other details about the diet, finding the right carb level, fat intake, reasons why it works, troubleshooting etc. I think the book was worth the money.

For mass phase I think it is 1.5 to 2.0 per pound, but I do not have the book in front of me right now. I had to order mine online, I could not find it in any store.

How much protein do you take in?

I want to get the Anabolic Solution for Bodybuilding but can only find it online.

How much detail does it go into regarding the diet?

After searching google, i've found people saying it's just a ketogenic diet with more calories but I thought it was more complex.

Someone has to have read it?
