Abs
I've dieted down to about 6% body fat, according to the Jackson and Pollack 3 point caliper system, but my abs just don't seem to show as well as I would like them to.
I workout my abs about 3 times a week. Am I working them out too much or not enough? What's the best way to get those sweet looking six pack abs?
2 things
1) You don't have much muscle in your abs, you need to build it with Goblet Squats, Deadlifts, etc.
2) You are not 6%, looks more like 8-9%
You need to build muscle and lose more fat. I would reverse diet, LIFT HARD and gain 2lb a month using www.massdiet.com. Once around 12% or so bodyfat, cut down. This should look a lot more crisp than what you have now. For a good diet see www.dropfactorbook.com
I take CLASH before every training session. And since there is Teacrine in it, habituation or desensitizing to it is not an issue!
Pyramid sets to gain strength or just do a 5x5 programme instead
pyramid sets for strength?
If you want strength, get on a strength program. Here is a good one: https://content.tigerfitness.com/shaw-6-week-strength-program/
During Peak Week of a bodybuilding show. Do you carb load more at the beginning of the week to give yourself time to fix yourself if it goes bad ? Or do you carb load at the end of the week ?
Bodybuilding Contest Prep- Peak Week.
I personally like Carb loading Friday and Depleting Tues-Thursday. The backload, if done right, is the best option
what to do if your weight loss slows down even after just two weeks??

Sodium: Why is it important
I have heard mixed things about the importance of manipulating sodium for a cut but I do not see a whole lot of consistency. How does sodium intake effect cutting and/or bulking? Or is it mainly just a factor for health, not necessarily weight? At what point should one start paying attention to their sodium intake?
Do you believe in peri-workout nutrition?
Do you believe in the idea of peri-workout nutrition? Or as a whole do you believe meal timing can play a role in muscle growth and fat loss and if so how much of a role does it play?
HECK YES! I popularized BCAA intraworkout! I believe it helps, but nothing is the holy grail. It is just another tool in your muscle building toolbox. Here is my intake:
Pre: MTS WHEY and Carb 10 (1 scoop each)
During: 2 scoops Machine Fuel
Post: MTS WHEY and Carb 10 (1 scoop each)
