Q & A: Can you combine intermittent fasting with a normal training program?

3 Comments

This week I received an email from Matt.
He writes…

“Hi Clint,
I’ve got a question and your advice would be very much appreciated:
I have been following a three day a week RPT programme for the last 8 months. I’m keen to try something new.
I took your advice in April and followed Martin Berkhan’s programme and saw excellent fat loss and strength gains. I now want to try something new for a few months & Rusty’s Visual Impact programme has always intrigued me.
However, Martin seems to have a massive problem with doing weights AND HIIT on the same day, saying it is counter productive, f*ckarounditis etc.
Now, you say you’ve combined fasting with parts of Rusty’s programme.
How do you do this exactly and have you seen any negative effects?
Thanks for your help buddy.
Matt”

It’s been a long time between drinks hasn’t it?

I haven’t written on here for a long, long time.
Laziness, awesomeness and a myriad of equally lame excuses have prevented me from finding something to talk about.

Pixel Demon

My Design business "Pixel Demon" has just been launched.

I’ve also started my own creative/design business called Pixel Demon which took a lot of spare time to setup.

Other than that…

Four things have happened to me since the start of December last year – and I thought it time to write about how they have affected my muscle retention, fat loss and training in general.

Then I’d thought I’d post my current training schedule so you can rip it apart and tell me how much better your one is than mine. Read the rest of this entry »

Starvation mode – Your body will starve and you’ll lose all your muscle.

Starvation mode?

I feel like I harp to much on this subject, but when I get annoyed, I tend to rant.
The inspiration for this post has come from yet another load of bullsh*t to hit the airwaves today. I promise this is the LAST time i’ll bring it up. Let’s put it to rest once and for all.

I can handle a point of view, an opinion and reams of drivel in small doses, but when the comments section of any given post supports the aforementioned meaningless drivel, you realise that “wow, there are still people out there believing this crap!”
It f*cking irks me to the point of frustration. Read the rest of this entry »

Training in the morning in a fasted state is GREAT for elevated energy levels

So it’s been a bit quite lately

I haven’t posted anything in around a month.
Why is that you ask?
Well, you probably don’t ask at all and are quite happy to read more influential guff such as Brown Cardigan – but hey, I’ll tell you anyway.

I’m prepping for my wedding and I’m also working with Rusty Moore on hopefully something BIG enough to write home about. Read the rest of this entry »

Eating every 2-3 hours to avoid muscle loss and preventing your metabolism from slowing down

14 Comments

Ok, so I haven’t written a post for a while.
There’s been a distinct lack of gimmick-busting, blunt, condescending blather since my absence.

Gym douche-bags globally, have had the chance to ‘shine’ in my absence whilst others training with shakes-weights have forgotten exactly WHY they’re considered borderline retarded.

Don’t worry – I’m back in full force, ready to unleash a tirade of semi-interesting drivel upon those that give one eighth of a sh*t.

So today’s posty is solely focused on the title (funnily enough) and as to why the entire notion that eating every 2-3 hours to avoid muscle loss and to prevent your metabolism from slowing down is a complete load of bull and every sh*t it’s ever done. Read the rest of this entry »
