"The Truth" w/ Eric Broser (Q&A and Training Articles)

[bodyfx2]

Eric what do you feel is the best protein to take on a regular basis? I am considering trueprotein.com and wondering what you thought. Hope the back gets better.

Thanks

I am a trueprotein man for sure. My general mix is about 40% micellar casein, 40% egg white protein, and 20% microfiltered whey isolate.

Todd, your posts continue to amaze and inspire me. You have made this thread just so much better with your outpouring of passion and enthusiasm!

Thanks Coach. I forgot to put in my sets of leg extensions. Doah!
Now that I've done 2 Rep Range workouts this week, I have found that all my weights have increased by a bunch. On weighted dips yesterday I increased my weight by 25lb and had great control during the whole set. That's just one example of the progress. Oh yeah and this was done about 2 weeks after I decided to stop using Halodrol LG. So no excuses there.

And these strength gains will soon become greater and greater size gains!

Eric, sorry I'm a bit slow to respond. Thanks so much for putting together a sample P/RR/S plan. I plan to tailor one and try this out myself in the next week.

BIG V is gonna get BIGGER....everyone hide!!!!

Eric has me on a new training sysytem he has recently developed and the results have been amazing.I have actually put on muscle while dieting for my contest ( 2 weeks out). Eric trained me for the West Palm and the Southern States this past summer....again the results were outstanding...winning the Master's AND the Open Overall in the West Palm and winning the Master's 50 Overall in the Southern states. His routines have brought me some of the best gains of my career at age 51! The man knows his business! Anyone looking to get the most out of their training would be wise to take him on as their coach. I guarantee you...you will not be disappointed. Thanks for everything Coach....you have played a HUGE part in making my "comeback" year so succesful.

Keith- you look amazing. I'm going to go ahead and call B.S. on the 51 years old. Making all those young guys look bad lol
Last night was my second Rep Range leg routine. Now this is straight up, scouts honor. My weights that I used went up as such from the last Rep Range leg day.
Hack squat- up 70lb. Up 50lb over MY old way of a power workout for more reps.
leg press-up 90lb. Now my Rep Range weight is what my old max for 5 reps was 5 weeks ago.
leg extension- up 40lb. Now at what I used to do for 10 continuous reps.
lying hamstring curl-up 40lb. Just way more than I ever did for that many reps.
All this while I dropped 1 1/2 lb.
Ask me if it works? Keith said it best.

Well, the program has not even been presented publicly yet! But this program is purely for mass gaining phases, using very intense training method combined with a specifically timed nutrient protocol.

Eric I have Three questions for you..

1) What changes would you make to your training protocol for someone just starting your training and just starting a cut?

2) On power week and deadlifts using a 4 second negative...Is that a little dangerous on the lower back especially for someone my age ...55

3) For those who W/O at home and don't have crossover cables but have everything else..what exercise would you sub C/O's for

What are your best and worst bodyparts?

Best back, arms

Worst quads, hams, calves

[intolerant]

Eric, do you think basic PRRS, even advance, is ideal for athletes who aren't natural? Do you think that the power week could be too low of volume for those using AAS and wanting to capitalize on their increased recovery?

Thanks for this Keith. And thanks for being such a warrior!

I think PRRS is ideal for all athletes...natural and OTC. That said, those who take "extras" could raise the volume somewhat over what I recommend to a natural. But just remember...Dorian Yates made some of his best gains on about 3-5 working sets per bodypart. While this might not be ideal for EVERYONE, it does show that intensity is the most important factor. In other words, you CAN get it done in just a few sets.

[hossjob]

The new system Keith is talking about is RIDONKULOUS! I used it for a lagging body part (and I just sent pics to Eric so he can vouch) that in just 7 weeks of using this program is NOT A LAGGING body part anymore! In fact, I think it may be somewhat of a strength now...and this was, like Keith, while dieting!

lol, hey bud, long time no see. Hope everything is well, you're still a huge mofo

Bump that!! I have been remiss. I've been wanting to thank you for the sample plans, Eric but Im such a simple simon. This is going to make it easier. I might just be ready to go straight to shock since I've been doing the power for a month or so trying to get used to it. Damn this is hard doing by yourself, lol. Cant wait till my girl starts joining in.

[mikemike]

A question about warming up during shock week.

If you're supersetting leg ext with squats how do you warm up?

Should I warm up with squats then do leg ext take a rest and start my super set?
