Episode 35: High reps have a purpose

The holidays were upon us at last. Spirits were high all around. A monster of a blizzard had dumped a foot and a half of the light, fluffy stuff on my town on December 20th, ensuring that all-important White Christmas Big Crosby sang about. As for the Blue Christmas in the Elvis song, we even had that covered with the release of the blockbuster film Avatar, with blue aliens in 3-D.

Timing Is Everything
Does it matter when I take my nutrition supplements?
Yes, the “when” of taking supplements is just as important as the “why.” By timing your supplements to coincide with your workout schedule, you’ll maximize your performance, energy levels, muscular growth, and more. Here’s a closer look at when to take certain supplements.

Fat Burners from Fat
By Cliff Sheats

Healthy Fats
From years of helping people get lean, I have found that in addition to cleaning up their diet and working out consistently, the fastest results come when people are using certain supplements in specific dosages. You know that lipotropics like Parrillo Advanced Lipotropic Formula™ can help you utilize stored fat for energy, but did you also know that certain fat supplements have a

Iron Vic Speaks
Protein and stagnation…Fake Food Frauds… Ham-challenged

Pizza!
Hey Vic,
I could use some help. I have been reading about the Parrillo approach to protein consumption and think that maybe I should dramatically increase my protein intake in order to add lean muscle mass. In a nutshell, I have been at pretty much the same level for quite a while. I am not a competitive bodybuilder. I have a good physique. I am tall (6-4) and thin (190) with good abs. Some people think I look ‘ripped’ but I think I look skinny and scrawny. From what I read in the PPP, it seems that the best bodybuilders are taking in a lot more protein than I am.
