I started training with IFBB pro Mike Francois today!!!

He said I should be taking 15 grams of glutamine before my workout, and 15 grams post workout. What brand of glutamine will give me that high of a dose with one serving? Anyone know?

By the way, it was the most intense workou of my life!!! We did back today, and as everyone knows, Mike Francois is known for his huge back. I can barely walk or lift my arms to type. It's taken me 5 minutes to write this short thread!!!

Hell of a guy. Can't wait to train with him again next week!
 
glutamine generally is best bought in powder form, they do make pills but youd need to take about 20 to get even a 10mg dose.... Buy the powder, any brand will do... take a look over at www.kilosports.com - L-glutamine.

YUM
 
Surgical,

Have you "hired" his services? How much does he charge? I am just curious.

I remember reading an article in Musclemage not too long ago. He is around 190 pounds these days as he can't use steroids anymore for health reasons. How is he today? Cool guy?
 
He's really cool, very down to earth. He charges $40.00 for a personal session and $30.00 for a group session. I'm training with another guy, so I get the group rate. Our back and calf workout was extremely intense and lasted about 45 minutes. He Talked to me in depth about my diet and supplementation. No way he's 190 though. He's atleast 220.
 
I have a feeling that Mike F. was probably one of the most down to earth pros. It's too bad that his career got cut short because his potential was huge.
 
surgical i don't think u get it.....500grams of glutmamine is 500 grams of glutmamine....they can put 5000mg per serving or they can put 1000mg per serving..as long as its just pure glutamine..serving size is just suggested...u make your own serving..so u say u have prolab..great its good stuff...so if 1 teaspoon is 4500mg of glutamine and u need 15000mg (15grams) then take 1 teaspoon roughly times that by 3 and what do u know? its 15 grams! U don't need a company to come out with a product with a 15gram spoon just so u can have "15 grams" per serving do u?
 
I'd get the glutamine from kilosports.com 39.95 for a kilo of glutamine PEPTIDES rather than just l-glutamine, which is inferior.
 
GameBreaker...

Please forgive my retartedness. I was thinking there was 10,000mg in a gram, not 1,000. That's why I was wondering if I could get it more concentrated. Your response made me realize that I was an idiot and I can't do math. Being out of college really makes me think that I need to go back!!!

Thanks to everyone for your responses. Kilosport sounds like a good deal.
 
Hey Surgical I train at your gym too. Yeah mike is the most down to earth guy you could ever meet, and I think anyone else that went through what he did would have thrown in the towell a long time ago on training. Well good luck on the training, you're in for some ass kickin' workouts
 
This was our back routine:

T-bar rows with barbell and 25 pound plates-
-we would alternate left hand on top, then right hand on top.
each position we did for 6 reps. we changed grips 6 times, so
it was a total of about 36 reps per set, stripping the weight
after changing the grip 2 times.

machine shrugs (Mike says to train traps with back)- 3 sets of 12 reps, as heavy as you can go.

isolateral pulldown (reverse grip)- first 2 sets were 12 reps, the last set was done isolaterally (12 reps on right, 12reps on left, then 12 reps together with left and right).

hyperextensions- 15 reps with 25 pounds plate for 3 sets.

machine rows- 3 sets of 12 reps.

standing calf raises- 3 sets of 15 reps (the whole stack). immediately after each set sit on your heels and do another 30 reps of calf raises very quickly, great burn!!!

Mike asked if he could work in for a "little set". He did 500lbs. for 2 sets at 100 reps each!!!. His calves are freakin' huge!
 
I've read several places that free amino acids will not be taken up by the body as good as peptides. The body needs to break down the peptides itself to make any use of the amino acids...
 
To be able to train with mike for $30.. whoaaaaaaaaa!!!!

Sounds like a steal to me. Just having him in the gym he should charge everyone a free protein drink! Then he should have all the girl gym members line up and he should repay rhe favour with his own protein.


Hope ya had fun!

Wardaddy,

The affordable price of his training sessions show you just what kind of a person he is. He's not in it for the money, he wants to help people improve themselves physically. He trains gymnasts, track athletes, football players in the off season, etc. He has a diverse knowledge of sports and physical fitness in addition to his knowledge of bodybuilding.

Just a side note, he says that most pro bodybuilders that he knows only train 4 days a week when bulking. It's important to get that extra day of rest. And he says no cardio in the off season. Most people are afraid to put on the extra fat, but to put on the extra muscle you have to put on some fat. You can always shed the fat when it's time to diet. (Those are his words, not mine)
 
You're not kidding it's a steal! I thought he would charge atleast $75 a session. I just wish I had the time to train with him more than 1 day a week. He has a really cool website. It has a lot of training and diet information.

Exactly my thoughts. I'd pay him $30 a session to just talk about the sauce, not training..... I already know how to lift a weight.

I doubt he'd discuss that with someone he does not know for a while.
 
I would never approach him with a question about AAS. I would certainly tell him about my use if he approached me about it, but I don't think it would appropriate to ask him those questions.
