What is your opinion of Men's health magazine fitness plans and diet plans?
Just wanted to know what you think if the Men's health fitness and diet plans and whether they work or not or should i be using some other plan ( Like one from Tiger Fitness).
Starting the process of being becoming part of the expos team?
How do you start the process of mentoring and becoming a part of the exos team? You said there is no test or certification. So where would I go to start?
Whats your educated take on the new supplement myo inositol trispyrophosphate?
Would you conclude its safe for human consumption in the long term, and at what weekly dosage? There seems to be zilch on human studies.
Thanks
This is used mainly in horses and safety in humans is not proven at the moment
Calf training for the natural athlete
I am sick of having tooth picks for calves and have tried many different methods. What is the best way for a natural athlete to build their calves?
Like anything else, 1-2x a week for 4-8 sets. Reps can vary like any other muscle group. Calves are VERY genetic!
Here is a good program: https://content.tigerfitness.com/big-calves-workout/
Why is a product like Shakeology so expensive and is it comparative to Macrolutions?
I just got Macrolutions and like it a lot? Can you compare the two?
It is an MLM company and they have layer of people to pay--it is also a crap product in my opinion! We don't play people like MLM.
No comparison, read the ingredients. Macrolution destroys that garbage
Strength Training
In regards to gaining strength and progressive overload. Would you say it is just as important to track progress in accessory movements (such as chest flys) it is for compound movements (such as bench press)?
I honestly would focus on tracking on the big open chain movements and just go INTENSE on the sissy ones!
Fiber and Fat Loss
Hi Marc!
What are your thoughts on fiber supps especially in relation to fat loss?
Thanks!
Vanessa R
I recommend getting 30g-50g a day. If you need a supplement to hit that, take it!
What are the side effects of too much fiber intake?
Currently, I am getting roughly 80 grams of fiber per day. Does this cause fat storage or anything that will hinder optimal gains?
It would be extremely uncomfortable. Just aim for 50g fiber per day or around that
Anterior Pelvic Tilt
Hey Marc,
After seeing an article mentioning it, I feel like I have a slight case of Anterior Pelvic Tilt. It doesn't seem to be causing any lower back issues or anything but I feel that it is pushing my lower stomach out more and causing me to appear to have a worse composition than I really do. Any tips on how to correct it? I have began sleeping on my sides and back rather than my stomach because I did read where that is a main cause. However, unlike most websites etc., I consider you a very credible source and would love your feedback.
Thanks,
John
I would work on core strength and pillar prep. See this:
Also work on planks, GOBLET squats and other functional closed chain movements
