TMT Q and A.......

Mini Truck · Sep 1, 2017

Good question??????????????????

I honestly don't think it matters because the strongest guy in the
gym usually isn't the best bodybuilder.

As long as it's heavy for you, that's all that matters.

For example, if you were doing 4 x 25 of DB side laterals with 30
second rests, I'm guessing the weight would be half, or maybe
even less than if you were doing sets of 12 reps with 1 minute rests.

Or deadlifts? 8 x 15 with 45 second rests?

Or Banded Smith Inclines Rest Paused?

Heavy is important but it is relative to the rep scheme and type
of resistance used.

Time under tension produces muscle growth without loading the connective tissue.

But at different phases, you may be challenged with some 5 rep sets.
But no singles, the risk outweighs the reward.

This is a little off the direction your going hear but I ask psych his opinion and figured since we'll be working together before long I'd ask you guys to where should a guy who's after what I'm after be weight wise with his lifts to be normal or just above normal as far as deads ,squats, ect.? I've learned alot about how to lift but I've just never really payed attention to how much people where lifting.

we utilize keto a lot in our preps.....but not exclusively.

and use fasting to MAINTAIN certain conditons
with certain clients....for certains reasons.

Scotty230 · Sep 5, 2017

Yea I have been messing around with fasting and keto a little and seems to work

Mini Truck · Sep 5, 2017

Scotty,

Are you using the Keto Urine Tests strips to determine what stage
of keto you're in?

No I am guessing i should if u are asking about it

Mini Truck · Sep 5, 2017

It's the only true way you'll know if you're in keto.
It can take days of super low carbs to get into true keto.

Once you're in keto, and testing, try to avoid being in dark
purple. Your body can eat muscle so be careful and refeed
as needed.

Hiya Tenny and Mini Truck my question how long do you think it takes to reach your genetic potential on moderate doses? After then do you think you maintain your muscle on trt ? when doing trt would raising dosage only then be for helping you get leaner with no additional size increase?

no way to answer that accurately....

all depends on your genetic potential

that being said, YES, a certain amount of muscle can be maintained
on trt doses....and YES raising trt doses can "VOLUMIZE" the muscle
you are maintaining.....(this all depends on age)....the older you get
the less potential is there for further growth....but will it be a
permanent muscle gain...???....again depends on your genetic potential.

We hope everyone is having a productive offseason!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep your weight gain to 20-25 over your contest weight if you're a competitor.

If you're not a competitor, make sure you can see your abs, not ripped,
but visible.

Keep grindin'

Mini truck...if you had a guy who's chest and quads were his best parts, and his usual split over the years is push/legs/pull 4-5x per week, how would you set up a split to bring up arms and back?

custom creation · Oct 17, 2017

How's it going guys? I'm currently behind the times a little. I retired from bb and competitive power lifting in 2006. I'm considering getting myself back to a level where I could maybe do a show or two in a masters division.I'll be 46 yrs old soon and I'm struggling with my diet a little bit.
What would you both say is key and should be incorporated into any cutting diet? What foods, how often, how much, etc!
Thanks

When you say abs - does 1 ab count
One good thing I found with me being older now is my skin is so thin. Only problem with this is - when you hold fast - it looks like cellulite on the waist

Kidding aside- well wasn't kidding.
I can get a pump while working out but I can't and don't hold water in my muscles. All my water is held every were else but in the muscle. I have never figured out why ?
