Background

When I Started: Aug 1992
HOW I STARTED:

I putzed around as a kid, maxing out the shitty plastic and cement set my dad bought, then forgot about it until I moved. Fell in with some musclehead nuts, saw Billy "Thunder" Smith in an ad on a beach in some muscle mag and was hooked. Eventually, I sort of fell into personal training and did that for 2 - 3 years pretty heavy, then got out of college and went off to become a rock star. I am debating getting back into personal training once again now...

WHY I LOVE IT:

I don't feel right without some kind of training. I like to throw iron around.

My Workout Program View My Full Workout Program

My Workout Program

I have a few standard workout programs and cycles. I won't post a full breakdown of the exercises/weights/diets I use because 1) they are constantly shifting and 2) if I get back into personal training, some of this will be part of what my clients will be paying for. So, generally...

The cycles I have are: Casual Cutting, Full Shred, Mass Pack, Standard. CASUAL CUTTING is new. It consists of thermos/cardio 3X a week/carbs 100-200g daily/DCT*. FULL SHRED is thermos/cardio 5-6X a week/carbs <100g daily/DCT*. MASS PACK is Lifting every other day/no cardio/creatine/total calories ~3K/protein 300g. STANDARD is thermos on weekends for pre-workout energy/cardio 1-2X a week/protein 200g.

*DCT is a system I started using back in the early 90's. It means "Declining Carb Theory" and basically stated to front-load your carbs at the beginning of the day so that by 6:00 pm (or later -- end time was adjustable), your carb intake was at or approaching zero.

The workout programs are: AT, Pre-Exhaust, Drones, Drops, Drop Supersets, Cascades, Sprints. AT uses a combination of exercises I don't use regularly. I don't run this more than a week or two consecutively as it is also somewhat of a low weight test run for many of them. PRE-EXHAUST is when I will take a "finishing" exercise, warm-up with it, then work it to "pre-exhaust" the muscle group, then go immediately into more mass-building exercises. DRONES is like PRE-EXHAUST, except there is a set of the drone (wear-down) exercise in between the working sets. This one I also don't like to use very often as it usually involves long recovery times. DROPS are also known as "Down-Pyramids", which means at or near 1 rep max, then drop the weight and up the reps with no rest. I typically use this for my working sets. DROP SUPERSETS is more of a cutting exercise, as it combines one exercise with another off-setting exercise. This one is very tiring, so I tend to only use it for FULL SHRED. CASCADES or U-Down Pyramids are what I use for my warm-up sets. I usually take the first exercise of a muscle group and use this, then switch over to DROPS for the rest of the program. ALL of the programs use strict form. SPRINTS is a cardio program that I started using in the early 90's. It is designed to establish a baseline, then "sprint" or otherwise strongly accelerate the pace, then "fall back" down to the baseline. I designed it then, as it worked much better than maintaining one specific pace for the duration of the workout. A variation of this idea is currently known as "HIIT".

My Motivation Program

Every time I step in to the gym or my garage or whatever, I try to outdo whatever I did last time, if it's one more rep or higher weight or harder punches to the bag or faster times on the Air Dyne, I just want it to be better. I am in perpetual competition with myself and not generally a satisfied person.

The Hit List

These are companies that I have spent extensive time both researching and testing their products on my most valuable resource -- myself. I have encountered zero problems or anything that would give me pause and recommend any of them without reservation. These are in no order of preference; if a company appears on this list, they are solid. Of course, if they don't appear on this list...they may need further investigation...I will try to keep this updated as time permits. Athletic Edge Nutrition -- For a while, I was using their entire line religiously. The products are well-designed and very e...

I will continue to update the ones I have, but I have no new plans to write new ones. The reason for this is that bodybuilding.com, despite proclaiming that they want user feedback, does not support their own ideal. Sure, they're spending a bunch of money defending themselves and the persons sued in court vs. S103/Syntrax, however, part of me believes this is done so that bodybuilding.com itself does not face a bunch of lawsuits or one gigantic class-action suit over that same privacy of information. It is a baseless suit and could have been handled much more effectively had bodybuilding.com s...

I've pulled all of the current supplements out of my list. The reason for this is that bodybuilding/exercising has become such a secondary activity that I'm going off of almost everything. I'm not out of love with it or anything, other than a grave disappointment with this year in that department overall, but I'm far too busy to spend the time worrying about maintaining the list, etc. and sometimes even to work out at all. I don't know how long this will last, but it will be at least into or maybe through October.I will still maintain reviews on the stuff I do use that's new. There is other st...
