I’ve been going for kickboxing and Brazilian jiu jitsu classes for the past 4 months. I train 4-5 times a week for 1 and half or 2 hours. We also do metabolism conditioning 2-3 times a week. I want to gain more muscle as I believe I’ll have more power and strength. I’m in a dilemma as to which protein supplement I should buy. Many suggest whey protein to build up muscle but I read that the muscle goes once you stop working out a bit. So is soy protein a better opiton? Will it help build up muscle and a bit of mass? I am considering either Nutrilite soy protein powder or Optimum nutrition whey protein. Please help me out.

Loved it.

As a guy who spends most of his time traveling around the world, and in the process always having to hunt down some local gym, some of your insights were serious revelations.

The only thing I found missing in the book, as far as amazing ‘body hacks’ go, is eyesight. Myself having gone from being legally blind with a -4D eyeglass prescription, and now seeing REALLY well without glasses, that should have been worth a chapter.

Google Alex Frauenfeld, or the Frauenfeld Clinic. The guy is a wizard, a shaman, a monk on the mountain top of eyesight health. He’s basically retired now, but still does a lot of the get-rid-of-your-glasses stuff via the Interwebz.

Cheers, Tim. Keep it up, always digging your ideas.

I am doing your diet quit successfully and want to know if I can use cottage cheese only as an addition but also as a full meal?
And if so: What about all other whey-products like botter-melk? Love to hear from you.
Best ragards from Germany,
Juli

However, the training techniques that he demonstrates in this video are almost criminal in their assault on common sense and science based exercise!!! Why on earth would a person jump up and down from a squat with a heavy barbell on their back unless they lost a bet or wanted to intentionally injure themselves!?
Why on earth would they do gymnastics rings to improve their MMA abilities?
It is an ineffective and unsafe way to build strength AND the skills developed have nothing to do with what happens in MMA!
Why not play golf to improve his MMA?
That’s different.
That’s unique, right?
Yeah, but it’s also stupid.
But, not as stupid as what my beloved GSP is being told to do by these unscientic, uninformed half wits he has coaching him now!!!!!
Clearly, his ACL injury was a result of these mental midgets telling him to do plyometrics and other such nonsense.
I only hope that he can overcome his ridiculous training and get by Diaz.
He might have a chance because I’m pretty sure Diaz doesn’t know the first thing about training either.
Then, after that, GSP fires his camp and has the intelligence and good fortune learn how to train effectively and safely!!!
