I
was really impressed with your training and nutrition
DVD! You clearly love what you do and have a talent
to convey that knowledge to others! After 16 months
of high volume training I have switched over to
DC training and have seen great results in just
3 weeks. I'm already up 10lbs and hope to gain
another 15 before my show in June.
Take care and God Bless!

I
have purchased and watched countless training
DVD's from the top pro's in bodybuilding and it
seems that some are in the business of producing
the DVD that is the longest even if the substance
is redundent. Project Superheavyweight has several
unique features I liked ... For someone who has
been training since 1981 I have to admit I'm not
impressed easily, but this DVD set would get a
9.5 out of 10 on my scale. I encourage anyone
that is a practitionare of bodybuilding to add
this to their collection. Props on a great product.

the best information on how to get leaner and more muscular.
I’m here to provide you with better ways to avoid
some of the most common mistakes that recreational or

Starnes interviews Troponin Athlete Joe Lyons
We’re starting off our Troponin Athlete Interviews
with Joe Lyons, a phenomenal young bodybuilder from
Charleston, South Carolina who recently won the
light heavyweight class as well as the overall at
the Palmetto Cup, and then the following week won
the light heavyweight class at the South Carolina
State Bodybuilding Championships. Both of these
wins gave him national qualification, and this was
the first year he attained such a distinction. It’s
probably no surprise that this was also his first
year with Troponin Nutrition. Let’s get to
know a little about Joe.

Starnes interviews Troponin Athlete Chris Perticari
Our third Troponin Athlete Interview is with Chris
Perticari, another veteran Troponin Nutrition Athlete
(and also a Troponin Nutritionist) who has competed
in bodybuilding, powerlifting, and now strongman.
Chris has won numerous amateur bodybuilding shows,
and in 2005 placed 2nd to Phil Heath in the heavyweight
division at the NPC Jr. Nationals (his first ever
national show!). Nowadays though, Chris is more
likely to be seen pulling a semi-truck or lifting
a boulder than applying Pro-tan, but his passion
and commitment to lifting and competing is still
extremely evident. Let’s get to know a little
bit about Chris.

Our next Troponin Athlete interview is with Danny
Fung. Danny went thru an amazing physique transformation
earlier this year, going from a “not-so-lean”
offseason weight of 234 pounds to a rock-hard stage
weight of 180 pounds. The end result: a light heavyweight
class win at his first show, the National Capital
Classic (a regional show in Canada).
Here’s the original thread if anyone would
like to see the journey:

Nutritional Leverage With
Shelby Starnes, by Bryan Krahn
Virtually every successful bodybuilder or fitness model
has a top-notch nutrition coach in their corner.
Now these coaches aren't your garden-variety nutritionists
that give you a food pyramid and tell you to follow
a "healthy diet." These guys are more like
masters of manipulating nutrient levels to get a specific,
visual, physical effect, and they're employed by even
the most studious physique competitors to take the guesswork
out of their nutrition plan.

High
Molecular Weight Carbohydrates, by Justin Harris
It has been standard practice for many years for serious
athletes to consume a high-carbohydrate meal following
intense exercise. As time has gone on, this post-exercise
meal has been scrutinized and analyzed to make sure
that the correct type of carbohydrates are eaten to
maximize the replacement of glycogen lost during exercise.

Post-Workout Insulin Spikes,
by Justin Harris
Many authorities speak of high glycemic index (GI) carbohydrates
post-workout to spike insulin levels. One of the most
common is 80–100 grams in the form of dextrose/maltodextrin.
But what are the benefits of consuming carbohydrates
post-workout to spike insulin and is this really necessary?

A Fat that BURNS Fat?
by Justin Harris
Many forms of fat are “healthy.” Omega 3
fatty acids have been shown to decrease inflammation
and benefit circulatory system health. Omega 6 fatty
acids are actually “inflammatory” fatty
acids, which work to increase the pro-inflammatory leukotriene,
LTB4. LTB4 augments the production of interleukin 1,
which is called the endogenous pyrogen, and establishes
the temperature set point of the body. An increase in
the temperature set point will cause a subsequent increase
in the metabolic rate.
