thanks guys! Just a question Rob is there an optimal time during the day to have certain meals to maximize muscle growth? i know about pre/post nutrition but what about fats and carbs throughout the day? :?:

okay so today I will be performing some yoga and ab work! I also weighed myself again and I'm up 9 pounds almost back to normal :p hopefully I'll hit my 179 in the next few days :)

I can't wait for my next workout to bench 215 for hopefully 4-6 reps and my goal my goal at the end of the blueprint to push a good 5-8 reps for 3 sets... Do you guys think its possible?! and also my if my chest is sore from my last workout do you advice that I should take an extra day to rest?

Yes, it's possible and yes - take an extra rest day.

With respect to diet/timing, more and more I'm inclined to eat a leucine rich meal at least every 4 hours. More info on that forthcoming. But yes, pre/during/post workout is MOST important!

Always will be..

Thanks a lot I'm currently taking extra leucine after my workouts but I'm thinking of taking some before bed with a casein protein shake to help protein synthesis during sleep? is this a good idea?!?

GREAT feedback and let me tell you... when people that close to you notice yes, things are happening!

On the leucine dosing, it's the leucine pulse timing that's really critical. At least one leucine rich "pulse" meal every 4 hours during the day. I will expand much further on this later but for now, observe those guidelines.

Hope that helps..

Any serving on animal protein such as chicken, turkey or steak. In a pinch, you could always sprinkle some leucine powder on top of your potato's etc.

Or the capsules. Different ways to work it in. The key seems to be in managing carbs to a 40% level in the diet, avoiding monosaccharides and making up the 20% difference usually seen with leucine rich protein meals.

You'll be hearing more about this.. alot more about it.

So i had a pretty good workout today I hit bench at 215 for 4 reps (last one I needed spot) and in dead lift i was supposed to hit between 4-6 reps but i ended up hitting 7 with 245 which is my new PR :) YAYYY oh and it was shoulder day so they also got a pretty awsome pump

p.s: my bench Wasn't best today because my shoulder was bugging me a little! next workout I want to go for a new PR =) Saturday here I come!! I'MM PUMPPPEDDD

Edit: Hey Rob I was reading the diet section! and you have a lot of great information! for example what are somme of the best foods to eat you mention spinach,olive oil? are their any others you highly recommend?!? If so I would love to incorporate them into my diet

First, congrats on the new PR. Second, invest in some Cissus - ideally a 5-10% extract but no higher. It seems the lower % extracts work better for anti-inflammatory/wound healing purposes.

Also, please tell the world on nolinksplease.com of your BP gains :) I need all the help I can get over there convincing people "Pink Magic" isn't the real answer to all of their problems :(

Second, glad you enjoyed the diet section of the book. If I could make one recommendation to you it would be this:

QUIONA

See this post for why: Quiona - Your new best friend & has 5 Ecdys to boot!!
