The ANACONDA™ Protocol
by TMUSCLE Research Group
11/25/09
The following is not only true, but it's probably going to be some of the most exciting muscle-building information you've ever read.

I am not an advanced lifter - can I still use Anaconda to great effect to boost my muscle gain?

can we have a subforum, kinda like the velocity diet, with before Anaconda and after Anaconda. Since, you know, results should speak for themselves?

All right so it's here. I for one am looking forward to giving this protocol a try. I'll be sure to post my results as I go through this. I work at a gym so multiple workouts shouldn't be an issue. I'm in a rather deconditioned state currently so I'd be curious to see how quickly this get's me back into a more heavily muscled state.
That said I'll be sure to start when I get back from a short paternity leave (2 weeks)as my wife will likely be scheduled for an induced delivery of our twins tomorrow!
Good luck to any and all attempting this protocol as well! Please keep the rest of us abreast.
M.

Interesting about having to add in the "intense liquid flavoring".
From the previous literature, I was thinking Biotest solved the problem of removing the bitterness from the CHY via additional processing with special enzymes to breakdown the "prolines" or something like that. Perhaps its not just the bitterness they were worried about....maybe it just plain tastes like ass on its own! LOL.
As much as I have complained about the seemingly complex regimen of the program (both the training AND the peri-nutrional protocol), I must hand it to you guys (Thibs and Tim). I think this could be really something. Too bad I just do not have the time to optimally use the product and program.
However, there has GOT to be a "lesser" protocol that the normal trainer/bodybuilder/powerlifter (meaning NOT elite; CAN'T train 3 or 4 times a day; has a job; has kids; etc...but trainers who still want to kick ass when they can train) can use that still is of benefit. I would love to know what that minimum protocol might look like.

Look to the upper right corner of the ANACONDA Protocol page.

Just text'd one of my athletes and told him it's out.
His response, "Is it still premature ejaculation if I've been waiting 6 months?"

Did you read the article? The following is taken directly from it.
So, if you're a beginner, casual lifter, or totally happy with where you are and can easily maintain that level, ANACONDA is overkill for you; you don't need it.
On the other hand, if you're a serious lifter who's training to gain muscle as fast as possible, or if you're an advanced lifter who's already attained a super-high level of muscle mass or strength, ANACONDA is a must.

So if I'm looking at this right the $345 package allows four sessions a week for four weeks, correct?
Also, when might we get a nutrition article explaining how best to eat while using this protocol? If I buy it, I'll for sure be whooping my ass 6 days a week with weights.
Cheers on making the Anaconda and MAG-10 cheaper than you originally planned. That's sweet.

Ah crap...took the plunge.
Purchased everything except the Alpha-GPC...already have plenty of that.
Will you folks ever consider selling the liquid flavoring by itself in the future? I'm thinking about wimps like me who might need additional flavoring to chug it down. The flavoring that comes with Anaconda and/or MAG-10 (can't believe you guys used this name...somehow it just does NOT seem right) might not contain enough.

I'd LOVE to order this, but I'd think that after trying it I'd wanna use it all the time. . . . . and unfortunately this is out of my league for a month's worth of supps. I'll be interested to see the results, good luck guys.

Maybe you guys should stickie that passage....on every page of this website.

The average serious trainee "only" trains once per day 4 to 5 times per week, and this protocol is every bit for them as those who train more often.
You certainly don't need to train as frequently as Christian to benefit from the ANACONDA Protocol. His schedule was presented to show an extreme case of how well the protocol works.

I just have a question regarding the protocol,
The protocol instructs to use 3 scoops of Anaconda for a workout, but two bottles of Anaconda would last you around 16-17 workouts. So with the increased training frequency, it wouldn't last me too long. And due to my budget i am not able to afford upwards of 2 bottles. Would there be sufficient gains in a shorter period of time, or should i take a lower dose over a longer period of time to get the best effects?
Thanks.

Sweet. My fat loss plan includes putting as much mass on my legs as possible, to increase resting metabolism. I'll be curious to see how this works for others.

I'd like to think that after 16 years of training that I fall into the 'advanced' category, so with that said,... when I was out in Colorado, and Tim and Christian had us taking all of the supplements in the protocol (the Alpha GPC, FINiBARs, Anaconda, and MAG-10), while I was initially not used to ingesting so much before, or even drinking so much while training, I will say that after the 1st day, I don't think I ever felt so raring to go after a series of such brutal training sessions.
ACTRain and I would usually grab lunch and dinner together, and the topic of conversation was always how we couldn't believe how much of a beating we'd taken, and yet we were both all fired up to see what was in store for us either the next day, or at our 2nd daily training session. I had never in my life been able to handle 2 sessions a day! I'm not in my 20's anymore (37 next May), so recovery is a big thing for me if I want to continue to progress. The fact that I'm still watching my weights go up, and that I'm looking so much thicker at 2 bills than I ever have has certainly sold me. I know I've said it before, but I can't wait to see how the protocol plays into my next contest prep starting in Jan 2010.
If you're just getting started training though, hopefully you'll realize that you don't need such high end (and expensive) stuff yet. The longer you train, the slower, and smaller your gains will become. I think that's going to be the real selling point of the Anaconda Protocol, the extra little kick in the ass for those experienced lifters who always put 110% into their training and nutrition.

I just read through it again, I'm not seeing it. Please call me an idiot if this was answered in the article.
Q - If you're training twice per day, do you do the entire protocol twice?

Excessive? I was not used to drinking this much water in a day but I can say that I adjusted pretty quickly, especially since this is now one of my biggest sources of fluids for the day.
2,000ml is about half a gallon. Most people have been advised in bodybuilding to get down at least a gallon of water a day.
