Firstly, let me say I'm confused. This program seems to work well ( I've had decent results with it before.....18 lbs in 10 weeks), but it's diffucult to follow. For one, a good amount of your daily caloric intake is consumed in your pre and post work out meals (which, by the way consist of mainly simple carbs) it's really hard for me to eat these huge meals especially because they're all clean (he advocates no fat) even spreading the rest of the calories over three more meals I feel on the verge of combustion. Do some of you have good results with your calories spread out more evenly throughout the day? Something else is he really pushes for 5 days a week and it seems like some of you have better results with 3 days. Anyone else used this program? What were your results?

Since you have the book can you tell me more about the diet/ workout stuff that is in it?

Take the best, leave the rest!

I have not read his book, but I have read his looooooooong web site. It seems to me he has developed his program based on his experience, which is fine. But everyone's different. My advice is take what works for you, tweek it and make it your own, and chuck the rest!

I would argue a few points with him: I am a firm believer (for me anyway) of eating 5-6 meals a day, every 3 hours approx. I try to spread cals as evenly as I can throughout the day. I also know that natural test levels directly correlate to the amount of fat in your diet. I know he is real anti-supplement - - I hate all the hype in the supp industry, but there are some really usefull supps available. My .02

Sure, it's all relativley basic. He emphasizes a 5 day a week work out plan focusing on major exercises (squats, deads, curls) and a couple of others, just simple and effective. He specifies grips and other tidbits on form. talks a lot about diet and how to, depending which category you fit into (fat, skinny, skinny fat, etc.). The diet is all clean calories with an emphasis on simple carbs around your workout (what I'm having trouble with). Obviously there is a lot more detail (the book is 100 pages) but thats it in a nutshell.

Comp. mus., Don't get me wrong he says to eat the 5 or 6 a day, its just that te work out meals comprise 60 % of cals.

...just that te work out meals comprise 60 % of cals.

Yeah... no need for that. Your post work out meal (liquid or solid) need only be 50-100g simple carbs and 30-50g protein, depending on your weight/overall cals. BTW most choose liquid for this meal because it is digested faster. Your pre work out meal should just be a balanced meal - some carbs for energy, some protein and some fat.

I'm sure the author would argue, "If it's working then what's the problem!?" But if you aren't happy, then there is a problem! Like I said take what works for you, tweek it and make it your own, and chuck the rest!

I hope somebody more familiar with his material will post on this thread.... anybody - - ? - - -
