Not questionsing your answer here, but just for clarity sake, Is that protein number the grams per pound of BODYWEIGHT, or of LBM you recommend starting at?
Just seems low if it is for bodyweight and not LBM. 200 lbs bodybuilder at ~10% bf would then be taking in 250g protein. Just seems low, but then again, maybe i've been taking in too much "bro science" from reading the boards all the time... lol
Thanks,

Hey John, first off thanks to your Meadows Rows and leg training tips I was able to make significant improvements for my last competition compared to the year before.
I noticed that you mentioned supplementing with EAA, but what about BCAA's? Is there one you prefer over the other? I've only ever used BCAA's for cardio/intraworkout during my prep.
Thanks!"But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded"

Hi John,
I'm two weeks post-op today from my emergency stomach surgery (we exchanged a few emails on this). I've been reading as much as I can about your experience. This was the scariest thing I have gone through medically and your story has been comforting.
You told me that you went too heavy too fast. If you had to do it all over or were in my situation, how would you start training again once the doctor gave the all clear? I plan on working with you once I'm given the OK, but I'm trying to prepare myself mentally for what is ahead.
The doctor warned me about hernias, so this is really concerning. He said that normal people would be able to start training again at around six weeks, but said it would probably be eight weeks for me. I'm sure I can do something at six weeks or sooner, even if it is pink dumbbells.Save 5% off your entire order at TrueProtein.com by using discount code LYP800; 10% if you order 16 lbs or more!

Hi JM
been searching for some advice on how to get my hamstrings better on stage. my hamstrings and quads are like two bodyparts from 2 different people. There is a reasonable amount of balance, but the detail difference from front to back is staggering. I do all the usual suspects for them in many different combos. tried to get my numbers higher, rep scheme changes, pre exhaust, partials etc.
I have recently been thinking they are not big enough to have the needed density to really see the development, but I also see plenty of other good bodybuilders with less development have stellar detailed hams.
I have been researching the idea of ART and graston technique to bring out more details and see if there is a firing deficiency, or see if it can induce hyperplasia, just unsure if people really see tangible results form it.
thanks for talking shop here.
I tried to get down to London for the LTT seminar last month, but my school's budget didn't allow this time around. next time for sure
thanks

John, I'm uncertain if you're still checking this, but I'll give it a shot anyways.
During most freeweight curl movements, my forearms seem to take over during the execution of the lift. I suspect this is due to my relatively long arms.
Are there any movements you prefer that seem to take the forearms out of the curling? I'm using HS preacher curls right now that seem to work the best, but I'm looking for other exercises I could rotate in.
Thank you.Comment

And why do you particularly prefer evening training? Is it kind of along the lines with what dh Keifer says about carb back loading, being less sensitive to insulin in the evening and using the training to re sensitize ony muscle cells, then getting the majority of your carbs in then? And I guess lower carb and more fat/protein earlier equals to steadier energy and mental focus, and less bloat during the day?
I have always just trained earlier because I feel full by mid day to night after several meals and like training on only a meal or two. Then again I have never tried lower carb first half of the day for an extended period of time.Comment
