Am I overreaching?
hey Marc I'm 20 years old and I have been weightlifting consistently for about 3 years.. Im small framed and lean. I'm 5"5 and 115 pounds. My body fat is about 7 percent. Most people say I'm under that but I don't believe so. Anyway I usually train for weeks at a time without taking any days off and within the last month or two I feel like I have been constantly tired.. even though I sleep great and get plenty of it. My workouts have suffered a bit recently too with not haveing a lot of energy. I have been having trouble concentrating and have lost interest in somethings.. and My lifts have been pretty much staying the same even though I'm eating at or above maintance. Thank you for your time!
Yessir, overREACHING! Go to 4 days for a while and recover, at least 4-5 weeks. See this: https://content.tigerfitness.com/dorian-yates-training-frequency/
Low Body Fat Bumps
At a low body fat level I see a couple round bumps (~1 cm diameter) that you often see on competitors when on stage. I see various opinions on what they are (lipomas, odd veins, muscle deformities). What are they?
Hindsight of Pre-Workout??
Does taking pre-workout have any negative effects on your body? If so, is it worth taking it? And if not, then what is proper dosage/cycle to keep the intense pre-workout pump in the gym with out double or even triple scooping your pre-workout.
CLASH preworkout has some many benefits and if healthy, little to no negatives. See more about it here! http://www.tigerfitness.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=mtsclash
Too Much Protein Supplements????
Hello Marc,
For breakfast I have oatmeal with a scoop of mts red velvet whey. For lunch/ my second meal i have mts epic gains with a scoop of vanilla protein powder and frozen blueberries. A snack in the afternoon is a quest bar with some other things. After I have dinner, my last major meal consists of another protein bar with a kind bar and some additional healthy fats from natural peanut butter. I was wondering if you think I am eating too many protein supplements and could be making my diet not very "clean." I appreciate your input and thanks.
No Sir. Whey has the highest biological value--it is simply FOOD! Enjoy! Although I would cut down on the bars...I just think they are crap
Can I become a fitness personality or build a brand in the fitness industry with a body disadvantage (sunken chest) ?
Hi Mark!
My name is Bence and a I'm a 22 years old guy from Hungary. I born with a body disorder, which is sunken chest (Pectus Excavatum), altough its not a serious case, but my question is, is it possible to become a fitness personality or build a brand in the fitness industry with this kind of disadvantage?
Best regards from Hungary.
I would personally get a real job, sunken chest or not, and have fitness as a hobby
If I had to choose, they both are effective, but pills by a little bit since the powder was made to conform to Australian laws
I hate fasted training. I would at least have some Ritual AM pre and Machine Fuel during. Here is an article hitting next week
Morning Ritual
#morningritual
What if we told you we had the prescription for your best day ever, everyday? This is exactly what to do every single day for a mind and body biohacking-boost that will last all day long! We need to accomplish these objectives:
- Tap into two energy sources, glucose and ketones for a double-action surge of mental and physical power. The brain is 60% fat but its preferred fuel source is glucose. We do not need to deprive ourselves of carbs to obtain ketones (the energy source your body turns to when deprived of carbohydrates) with the breakthrough formula in Ritual-AM featuring the revolutionary goBHB™.
- Obtain healthy fat from MCT’s and the new Clean Cream™ to help your body burn more fat and have copious amounts of energy for the boardroom and the weight room!
- Quickly replenish amino acid pools depleted from a night of sleep with high-quality, grass fed whey protein isolate.
- Make the protein you eat for the rest of the day more powerful, 2x more powerful to be exact, with the help of the breakthrough Velositol™.
- Reward yourself with a great tasting coffee drink that is better than what you’d get from the Barista at your favorite coffee shop. Healthy habits have been proven to set you up for your best day ever, everyday!
- Get MOVING! Blood flow will enhance everything and you will be at your peak throughout the day.
So how do we do this? Here is the #morningritual that is your surefire way to dominate both mentally and physically.
Step 1: Drink Ambrosia Ritual-AM as soon as you wake up. Just like your morning coffee, this biohacking breakthrough fulfills all the things you need as mentioned above
- goBHB™ for Ketone production
- MCT and Clean Cream™ for healthy fats
- Grass-fed Whey Protein Isolate
- Velositol™ to double the power of your protein
- PERFECT, Barista-quality taste
Step 2: Move! We recommend 15-20 minutes of movement after drinking your Ritual-AM shake. Here are some options:
- 15-20 minutes Pillar Prep. This involves foam rolling and some light stretching. See examples here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCl0Yzibap4
- 15-20 minutes of light cardio activity like a walk or bike ride. If you are currently doing cardio, this is a good time to do it for whatever time is allotted. If you do over 15-20 minutes of cardio, don’t worry about muscle-wasting, Ritual-AM will prevent that and might even enhance fat burn over fasted cardio.
- If you’re a morning trainer, this is a good time to train as well with just Ritual-AM in your system if you’re used to training on an empty stomach. If you intake carbs before training, simply add them to your Ritual-AM shake (like MTS Nutrition Carb 10™) or have a banana with it.
- 10 sets of Goblet Squats or any kind of squat. See my article here on squats everyday: https://content.tigerfitness.com/squat-every-day-rehab-health/
Step 3: Eat a higher fat meal to help you further feed your brain and body. I have the perfect meal outlined here: https://content.tigerfitness.com/biohacking-breakfast-high-fat/. If your macro needs are not hip to this kind of higher fat meal, just eat your normal breakfast. Ritual-AM has you covered on your morning needs for fat and well….everything!
There you have it, the perfect #morningritual for your best body, mind and LIFE ever! Hash tag #morningritual on social media and let us know how you like this high-society biohacking ritual!
Buying MTS on Amazon
Hi Marc,
Ruckus is my favorite preworkout product EVER but I ran out. I came to TigerFitness.com to repurchase but it was sold out and remained sold out for a while. In desperation I turned to Amazon, typed it in and low and behold a merchant was selling it.
When I received and opened the container, the internal seal was different than other MTS products I've opened. The internal seal was just the plain white paper seal while other MTS products i've opened had a foil seal with "sealed for your protection" on it. Just wondering if MTS has ever used the plain white internal paper seal on Ruckus or should I return this and file a claim that they are selling bogus products.
Thanks!
Debbie
Hey Debbie,
The inner seal can vary based on stock lids used. I wouldn't be concerned.
Bulk or cut
What's your best advice for someone kind of in the middle in terms of skinny fat and lean. By that I mean I have visible abs at sometimes of the day and at sometimes I appear slightly chubby.
If under 8% bodyfat use www.massdiet.com
If 12-15% use www.dropfactorbook.com
Do steroids force TRT at a later age?!
Is the continuous use of steroid cycles a guarantee that I will need TRT at a later age? Do you think this contributes to most older bodybuilders on TRT or do all aging males essentially benefit from TRT?
