Chris Shugart: Closing up this Lab. If we missed any of your questions, please post them in today's new Coaching Lab. Thanks!

Tim Henriques: @pulse - I gotcha, thanks for the clarification

Chris Shugart: @Corst: Quick culinary item to check out: raw coconut vinegar. Excellent.

Chris Shugart: Don't miss this one.

Chris Shugart: Sneak preview: Monday's Live Coaching -- The 13 Lessons of Bodybuilding: The Pump, Arms Days, Training Frequency and More! By Christian Thibaudeau

Tim Henriques: @pulse40 - who are you talking to and how would you be able to determine if a person is genetically gifted or not, particularly after the fact?

Christian Thibaudeau: @ GmG... actually it is a fallacy that you have to stick to 3 or less reps in the olympic lifts. This is a myth that comes from the training of high level competitive lifters, and not even from all systems.If you are using the olympic lifts to help build muscle mass, strength and power you can definetly use sets up to 5 reps. Heck, even competitive lifters from some systems (Russian for example) use periods of higher reps on the olympic lifts.

Chris Shugart: Easy is correct. I haven't heard of any issues either.

Chris Shugart: @BiP: Certainly.

Chris Shugart: @bridges: That should be fine. Just take 4 caps on your Pulse Fast day, preferably in the evening.

Chris Shugart: @bridges1: Lonnie is correct. Best to save Pulse Fasts for when you're on once per day Indigo dosing.

Chris Shugart: @hawkins: Had that in my Sunday morning coffee today. To me, it's much better tasting that straight stevia.

Chris Shugart: @iDrDan: That's close to our Pulse Fast protocol, so sure. John Meadows did it recently too with bookended solid meals while giving an all-day seminar. He loved it.

Tim Henriques: @olifter cont - Having said all of that, I would guess you are not familiar with our program or curriculum if you would call the grads "non educated". Just like college some students have learned more at the end of the program than others, but you can learn a hell of a lot about a subject with 500 hours of formal instruction from good instructors, our tests are by no means easy, and the class is not a rubber stamp before you get your diploma.

Tim Henriques: @olifter - I am not bashing my product. I don't consider grads of our program, certainly not all of them, to be "experts" in the sense I am using here. They are the fitness professionals I was referring to in the last paragraph. Just like college grads aren't experts when they graduate, but hopefully they have enough education to be prepared for their career.

Tim Henriques: @tyciol - the picture was a demo. I didn't write that article and I have never performed that exercise, you obviously have a beef with it. CT mentions if you do a lot of weight to put a weight on your feet. A hanging leg raise doesn't work the hams at all, the reverse squat with your feet anchored to the floor would work the hams a lot. They would also pull on the hip flexors at the origin whereas the leg raises pulls on them at the insertion. I have faith in CT, if you don't so be it

Tim Henriques: @Jumanji - I generally agree with what you wrote and as I mentioned specificity rules, being strong doesn't automatically mean one is a great athlete for sure. I wouldn't compare a 165er 405 deadlift to a 280 700+ DL though even on a cycle. I also hear your point about having a list of athletes but that doesn't necessarily mean that much either. Thanks for the post

Chris Shugart: @Big: I have a technique for that with my unsweetened rice cereal: add almond milk to bowl first. Cereal floats and gets less soggy. You just dunk each bite.

Cold Macaroni: but again, I'm an English teacher and international man of mystery.... not CT

Cold Macaroni: I guess you do whatever you have to do to get yourself primed for the first wave. I just looked over the numbers I have in for my 3/2/1 waves, and there really aren't any instances where I feel like I couldn't get started after maybe one warm-up set to "boot-up" the pattern (this is after HFSW).

Cold Macaroni: @hawkins. I'm not CT... but I find that after my HFSW I'm pretty well prepared for just about any of my "main" movements I would use 3/2/1 with. I might take a couple sets to work up closer to my first set if it's for squats or deadlifts or if I want to make sure I have the movement pattern "booted up." The nature of the sets CT laid out have us starting at a very doable weight, so it should probably require minimal sets prior to starting 3/2/1.

iDrDan: what up Mitch? I'm awake and ready to go for the day.

hawkins14: @CT what sort of work do you do before to get you ready for the 3/2/1 waves, would a few warm up sets ramping up to first weight suffice or is it better to be as fresh as possible therefor an alternative to do the same job. Thanks

MytchBucanan: anyone awake?

Piyneimad: Pump? Arm days? Can't wait for the spill !

corstijeir: bed time! got to get up and get to it tomorrow bright and early!

corstijeir: my latest thing is green peppercorns

corstijeir: i shall do just taht

corstijeir: interesting

corstijeir: I'll be here!

pulse40: Tim, I am talking hypertrophy or low body fat levels. First of all I can tell by seeing their workout intensity first hand and it doesn't take an expert to notice if the person in on the juice. If you don't have the genetics and are clean and you body is jacked then I want to hear what you have to say as far as training and diet

PB Andy: that's messed up
