Hi Dr Jacob! Thanks for this opportunity! I read the previous entry that wine could help with energy (mitochondria?). As a woman, trying to lean out, would one 5oz glass of wine every night still be ok in my quest to be lean? Otherwise opening a bottle just gets wasted, if I am the only one drinking it and there are about 5-5oz cups in each bottle. I would rather do one glass almost every night, instead of 2 a night in a few nights.

I have been wondering the same with different kind of bars used (e.g. EZ-bar), but I've found that it doesn't really matteri. Pick a weight or don't include it at all. I think the most important thing is that you are able to track your progress and you can do that too without knowing the correct weight of the bar. This becomes a real problem only when you perform the same exercise with different bars so it's hard to figure the "correct" weight without trial and error.

Hi buddy, I think its not an exercise things as much as it is a mind muscle thing. Try and do isolation exercises like concentration curls and focus direction on the muscle and squeezing the whole time. So your focus should be internal and not on lifting the weight just flex up and down. Our studies have shown this enhances the pump and muscle activity

Hello Jacob. I am very happy to be part of BB challenge and I look forward to see the end results of my efforts. Just a quick question or two that bothers me.
When we talk about daily water intake do I include as such the supplement liquids (such as bcaa mixed with water, protein powder mixed with water and etc.). Because I have the feeling I am drinking too much water (I know it sounds hard to achieve but still).
I am aiming for between 2.5 - 6 liters a day but the most I drink is pre, intra and post workout (I'd say like 3 - 4 liters.
I hope that you understand my questions. Thank you for given time and keep up helping!

You can count those pre workout drinks. Main thing is feedback. If your urine color is light like lemonade you know you are on the right track http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aJekyLjeQ0...or-chart-2.png

Josh great question. A couple things you could do. First, MCTs in your pre workout may help you in the gym (just don't overshoot or else you might be running to the bathroom all workout haha) Secondly, certainly I think while KD carbs around your workout, especially on hypertrophy days can help and allow you to still stay in ketosis.

Honestly if you periodize you may not need more than 48 hours rest. Check out my article here http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/ask-...-beginner.html

As long as its in moderation then sure its okay. One of the issues I have with those is potentially burning out your CNS. IF you keep taking them every time you do cardio just to "amp" you up, over time that may just make you more and more reliant and cause you to take even more stimulants to fight off fatigue. Just be careful

I have a question about supplements. I'm interested in losing a good amount of body fat during this transformation and I cannot use caffeine or any other heart stimulant. My diet consists of all whole foods, nothing processed, no sugar and no grains. Basically, a Paleo diet w/ 3 meals per day (protein and vegetables, occasional fruit) and lots of water. I strength train 3X per week and I do 30 minutes of cardio 5-6 days per week. What supplements, if any, do you recommend I take to increase my fat burning potential? Should I be consuming protein shakes after strength training? I'm a 51 year old female. Thank you.

That all depends on how insulin sensitive you are. In general I recommend 3-5 grams of carbs per kg of bodyweight each day, with 3 on your light days and 5 on your heavy. That comes out to about 1.4 to 2.4 grams per lb. Then I just divided them up equally with my meals. Costill did research in the 80s where he found that it didn't matter how many meals you had those carbs over as far as replenishing your carb stores. But for fat mass it seems that you don't get any spill over into fat when keeping to 30 grams or less. Anything over will depend on how insulin sensitive you are
