How many reps per set do you usually do? Why?
I like the 5-8 rep range. I do mostly compound movements and the lower reps hit the white, fast-twitch muscle fibers the best. This leads to the ultimate in muscle growth.
- Updated Jul 24, 2008 3:35am

How long do you rest between sets on average? Why?
About 2-3 minutes. The name of the game is Progressive Overload. I want to make sure I am at full recovery so I can use as much weight as possible.
- Updated Jul 24, 2008 3:35am

What celebrity body would you most like to have? Why?
I don't like many celebrity bodies. They usually aren't muscular enough. I liked Arnold's body, of course. But Twins Arnold...not governor Arnold.

hi there! you mention on your diet & supplementation blog that when tracking intake, "Do not count the fats in your protein as your added fats, and do not count any protein in your carbs toward the total." I'm eating 30g fat, 100g protein and 130g carb and I have been including all sources in calculating my totals. is my approach incorrect? thanks!

Outstanding size & shape! Personally, I think folks in your line of work are some of the most under appreciated job-wise. What other occupation helps people improve their health, feel better, look better and expand their opportunities for physical activities all at the same time?
