I'd obviously note that these aren't clients but people who followed and applied my teachings to their diet and training.

oday’s Q&A is one of those spur-of-the-moment-ones that, like many articles I’ve written, end up good...or abandoned halfway through and never published. We’ll see how this one goes. It was prompted by the following question, here paraphrased by a client who sent it earlier today:
Hey Martin. Just wondering, was there a point when you stopped counting calories and didn’t balloon back up? I’m really pleased with my results and want to maintain my leanness for t... 2018-06-15 03:38:41 +0000 UTC View Post

Two weeks ago, a Patron inquired about the influence of personality on the things we do and the results we achieve. He phrased the question:
"Do you consider yourself more of an introvert or extrovert, and how much do you think your personality has affected your training and dieting?
Furthermore, have you seen significant differences between those two personality types when it comes to reaching goals and being consistent?"
Good question. Or questions. But let me parse them for you,...

2018-05-13 22:43:07 +0000 UTC View PostIn latin, the meaning of gluconeogenesis (GNG) translates to "creation of new sugar." In fitness, the term refers to the fate of dietary protein after feeding. The general understanding can be summed up as excess protein turns to glucose in the body.
You may also be familiar with GNG through my writings on fasting. Here, GNG serves to maintain blood sugar when supplies run low. This is a different discussion relating to body protein, an umbrella te...

When should I bulk? When should I cut? Is it time yet...?
Ah, the big "When." Tough questions - how lucky are we that answers are governed by a strict set of rules and regulations then? Take bulking, for example. To bulk, consensus dictates a certain degree of leanness. 10-12% body fat is a range often given.
Depending on the expertise of fellow fitness enthusiasts however, 10-12% body fat may not be enough. As of writing this, someone asked if 11.6% was low enough to bulk. The que...

Want to become really good at chin-ups, really fast? Then I have just the thing for you.
Historical context: After modelling and before Uni studies, I lived at home for about a year or so. Had lots of time, rest and food on hand. Spent much of it reading about training and trying various experiments. Including this one. Frankly, CUG is the only one I remember in good detail, probably because I stuck to it and saw great success.
The routine works for both diet...
