The Super Recomp Stack | CLA and Betaine

Those of us that have a tendency to put equal amounts of fat and muscle on are known as endomorphs. Some believe it and some say it's bogus. Whatever camp you fall in I would say if you go up in fat just by looking at pizza, try this stack.


CLA 3- 6 grams per day
Betaine 2.5 grams per day


Beware, you will not notice drastic changes in muscle or the way you feel. This is a 12-week or longer stack.

Try Tri-Sets for New Muscle Mass Gains


Have you stopped growing? Or are you just bored with your current program? Well, Tim Scheett may very well have the answer. Tri-Sets.

Tri-Sets provide the lifter with a very specific set of exercises that ramp up the intensity of the workout on a particular muscle group.

For example on backday you would:

Tri-Set 5 10 20
Bent-over barbell row 5
Pulldown 10
Straight-arm pulldown 20

Your rest period should only be long enough to move to the next exercise.

The first exercise after a good warm up should be a heavy compound movement. The second exercise should be heavy enough to make you work through a hypertrophy rep range. The final exercise should be 20+ and a single joint isolation move.

Do 2 – 3 rounds of a Tri-Set and feel the new gains.

Tired of the same old 5x5, 3x10 or 3x12 workouts? Have your gains stopped? Well what’s old is new again. Here’s an old workout that can be new again and can lead to gains.

Warm-up

3 sets of 5 reps increasing weight to working set weight

Workout

5 reps then rest 2 minutes and increase weight

4 reps then rest 2 minutes and increase weight

3 reps then rest 2 minutes and increase weight

2 reps then rest 2 minutes and increase weight

1 rep

SAMe – can never afford it but man do I feel good with this.


Tumeric – because they keep saying it’s good.

Caffeine – mood and energy

Whey – It is the way.

Creatine – when I want my lifts to go up.

Choline – liver, mood, cholesterol

Ribose – expensive but worth it for the energy


Peak ATP – get it at Swanson Vitamins and use when doing cardio

    Suppversity's CCC Fatloss Stack (Choline, Carnitine and Caffeine)





  • Max. (!) 3g choline: Take the choline (bitartrate or citrate, no funky GPC or similar junk) with meals split across the day, but refrain from taking the human equivalents (HED) from the rodent study, I suppose 3g could already make you smell like a fish. Watch out for potential side effects, such as cramps, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, high blood pressure, or acne-like skin rash. Stop the supplement immediately, if you experience any of those. Also make sure to get adequate amounts of potassium and magnesium.





  • 3-5g of carnitine: Stick to the l-tartrate or regular form of carnitine. Take the carnitine in 3 doses best on empty (learn more about in the Amino Acids for Super Humans Series).





  • 200mg sevings of caffeine: Use the caffeine whenever you are fasted for at least 90min or before you are working out. Don't take more than 400mg, max. 600mg per day and - needless to say - don't take it before bed.

    HIIT Your Way to a V-Taper

    Do about 30 minutes of high-intensity interval training 2-3 days-a week. Choose any type of cardio. activity that won't affect your strength levels, and use the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) scale to gauge how hard you're working on a scale of 1-10. In Weeks 3-4, perform these intervals 3-4 times per week. In Weeks 5-6, stick with interval training 3-4 times a week, but add 1-2 days of a low-intensity activity such as walking or hiking for 30-45 minutes.
