There is a website for the book called bodyrecomposition.com, this question has been asked and answered several times including a literature review I believe.

Haskan, My girl has upper back pain that causes tension, headaches, and nausea. On a whim we attacked the scalenes because of her previous repetitive stress from being wattress. She thought the pain was due to some scar tissue under rhomboids (according to former PT). I have worked that area...

Go over to bodyrecomposition.com and do search for SD, RBE, or decondition.

It sure sounds like the scalenes but it could possiblly be a trigger point in the rhomboids. I suggest you buy The Trigger Point Workbook.

Lyle does indeed really like HST as the optimal approach to hypertrophy. (I think) Lyle believes that training lighter loads can lead to detraining strength qualities. So in order to maintain strength it must be periodized at least once month, hence his advice to train conjugate style. He...

What time do you workout? Lonnie Lowery does a great job of assimilating research, and although he is published in T-mag does not actively support Biotest products. Plus he generally makes a clear distinction between empirical and anectdotal unlike Berardi. A few years ago he wrote an article...

I switch day 1 to Monday so my carb-up begins on Friday evening through all day Saturday. I work a pretty stable 8 - 5 pm, 5-day week, no children. A little grilling and grocery shopping on Sunday for food prep. I spend less time eating (1 - 2 meals at work versus a normal 3) consuming 1,400...

Body Recomposition UD2.0 is a new and improved version of Body Opus. Specifically designed for the at or below set point dieter, designed to take fat-to-lbm ratio where your body normally won't allow to go without serious muscle catabolism.

I know you asked this question at body recomp, I haven't reviewed responses. Lyle has generically suggested work to max a repetition or range of repetitions, and then restart with 80% of max weight. You can do that for just the power workouts or tensions too. Obviously you can't deload during a...

Would you be more motivated if you gained strength cycle-to-cycle? If that's the case moving to conjugate or undulated periodization program might be fun for at least a 4-6 week period. I have learned alot about my body (physically and emotionally - motivation) by periodically changing...

I would suggest using three concurrent methods to track progress: 1) Buy scale - Measure, every so often in the same condition. I measure upon waking, after using the bathroom. 2) Buy Calipers, they are $10 and proficiency is easily obtained at measuring problem areas like suprailiac or abs in...

I got burned out starting with 60% max for 30 total reps/workout (3XWeek) per bodypart. I applied the model keeping volume constant. If and when I do this again I am going to create a simple linear function in which 60% RM is 30 total reps all the way up to 95% is 15 reps (or might be little...

Own the book, like the book. If you don't own the book but are interested, Mike Robertson article series over T-nation covers the same ground, and offers several pre-training prep motions. Movement prep is great. AIS is good, but prefer to P-N-F. Stomach vacuuming does not increase...

How do you rate your physical goals (1 most important - 10 least) Hypertrophy Strength Power Speed and acceleration Coordination and balance I took you more for the performance to be the number one goal with a phyisque that followed. In rereading our earlier posts, I wish to forward you to a...

Core Performance is a good prescription for what you're looking for. It has nice colorful images and a few exercises and combinations that have added spice to my HST. Every modality within the program is aimed at the athlete in all of us with the focus on speed/balance/injury prevention. What...

Bryan, ETA on vanilla driver?

Will that amazon deal still be available when vanilla is out?

EBITDA has no value to me. There is value in this company, brand alone. The distribution network and purchase power efficiencies may make it solid bid. Wouldn't pay more than 3-4 x EBITDA (back of envelope) due to the commoditization of the product line, due diligence is very important. A...

There is a little more to it than carb cycling, it more of strategic carb cycling in conjunction with calorie cycling with workout program designed to maximize the fat loss to muscle maintenance or in the case of bulk, minimize fat gain. If the diet is used with HST the value of plan will not be...
