Parrillo Bars™ explained…Fascia stretching?…Strength, MMA and weight classes…
June 22, 2011 by admin · Leave a Comment
Hey Vic,
It seems Parrillo has a lot of different types and kinds of bars – it’s all pretty confusing. How are Sport Nutrition Bars™ different from Protein Bars™ or Energy Bars™ or Protein Chew Bars™ or High Protein Low Net Carb Bars™? I have been using the Energy Bars™ exclusively and mainly because I love the taste of Graham Cracker. Am I missing out? I am trying to shed about 15 pounds of body fat while hanging on to my considerable muscle. I have built a lot of mass over the years.
Mineral Magic

Minerals are inorganic elements; in other words, they are not produced by your body. Like vitamins, they act as coenzymes, meaning that they enable certain chemical reactions to occur. After the minerals have been absorbed, they actually become part of the structure of the body – of the cells, enzymes, hormones, muscles, blood, and bone – and remain in the body for varying amounts of time. Some are utilized pretty quickly, and some are stored and utilized over a period of time.
Tips and Tidbits – June, 2011

Training Tip of the month:
Training Legs: Deadlifts
Many bodybuilders avoid deadlifts because this exercise can thicken the waist. But often, you need to build your physique to a point beyond where you want to be. Then you can use isolation exercises to sculpt away thickness while still holding your size. So, for gaining that initial size and thickness, deadlifts are an excellent exercise.

If you’ve checked out our products lately, you know we’ve got pancakes, muffin mix, cake mix, frosting, bars in flavors like sweet milk chocolate, and more. It’s almost like we’re running a sweet shop than a supplement store. Our “sweets” are supplements, and they’re sugar-free.

Parrillo tactics and Parrillo supplements equate to a big bench
By Duke Nukem
The two most often asked training questions are, “How do I increase my arm size?” and “How do I dramatically increase my bench press?” A big bench press is the coin-of-the-realm in the bodybuilding community; very rarely does a civilian ask “Hey, how much can you deadlift?” Or “How much can you use in the leg press?”
Two steps forward, one step back

I hadn’t seen a whole lot of Jeff since our epic leg workout almost two months ago where I tortured him on the leg press with ‘Centuries,’ a series of sets where you add weight and increase the reps over and over again until somebody quits, pukes, or passes out. Interestingly, I had seen him at the bank much later that week and he had still been hobbling. Incredulous, I asked him if he was still sore and he had merely fixed me with an icy stare. Proud of my work, I had queried when the last time his legs had been that sore.

Why fruit is a No-No…Water intake…Lifting straps… After a workout: food or supplements? Pro-Carb™ rules!

Vic,
I am having a tough time getting down below 14% body fat and I suspect part of the problem might be the fruit I am eating. I remember that John Parrillo advises to cut out fruit but I have always resisted that because I really love fruit and for my entire life everyone, from medical doctors to fitness trainers, have been telling me that fruit is healthy and good for me. I have stopped eating refined food and saturated fat; my diet is really clean other that a lot of fruit. I suspect that you are going to tell me to ditch the fruit – what is the reasoning?

More Powerfully Good News About Leucine

Cutting-edge research published over the past several years bring to light how and why a high-protein diet may be the best for burning fat. A growing mound of proof suggests that eating more high quality protein will increase the amount of leucine, an amino acid, in the diet, helping you maintain muscle mass and burn body fat during weight loss. Maintaining muscle during weight loss efforts is essential because it helps the body burn more calories.
Stephanie Caits

Combine super-trainer Meral Ertunc with Parrillo products (and methods) and end up engineering yet another dramatic transformation!
Stephanie Caits was a self-described “fat girl with the pretty face.” She laughs about the jokes that used to be made at her expense. “Back in high school the boys would say, ‘Stephanie is the opposite of the ugly girl with the great body.’” It wasn’t so funny back then. After high school and college she became highly motivated to change her physique. “I felt that if I could lose weight I could be quite competitive in the beauty pageant world.”
