Hey Raynor,

I was wondering if some people are just naturally resiliant to gaining fat.  I see many individuals in the gym who workout and in order to gain muscle you MUST eat above your maintence, correct? How do these individuals maintain their lean bodys while still gaining weight?  I know many of them and they do little to no cardio.  Is it a genetic factor as well?

No...basically you want to do this:

Day 1-6 (no carbs)
Day 7- carb up
Day 8-13 (no carbs)
Day 14 - carb up

and so forth.

No you should not immediately carb up if in deep ketosis before the 7th day. Just keep trucking along until the 7th day each week for optimal fat losses.

Hey there. You are welcome.

For the protein shakes - stick to the GRS-5, that seems to be a superior product. You would not neeed the CNP Pro Peptide.

For pure strength you want to stick to a 5-day split that focuses on ONE major muscle group per day. That is the single most effective way.

To work on pullups you want to simply perform them frequently. Do 5 sets of maximum reps 3 days a week. Strive to increase your max reps by 1-2 each week. You can also use lat pulldowns to help build pullup strength

Abs Workout Routine


As far as cardio/core you really want to be swimming. Swimming is the only real "complete" workout that builds core rapidly and also burns a ton of calories.

hmm okay thanks...

I actually think I'm going to have to switch to a cut soon, because I plan on getting a tummy tuck this january from my 100+ pound weight loss last year. Could you link me to a pretty good cutting diet and workout plan?

Thanks. I'm at 215 right now..I think I'd like to get to about 200 before my surgery
