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.

"Meeting
the Scale: The Art of Making Weight" by Shaun Mirjavadi
Have you ever watched a pre-fight weigh-in and noticed
how gaunt and stringy that most fighters look as they
get on the scale, only to see them with full cheeks
and muscles the very next day as they step into the
cage or ring? Some of them look like they might have
gained 10 or even 15 pounds since just the night before.
This effect is due to the process of weight cutting,
or what is referred to as body weight manipulation.

"Nutritional
Leverage" by Shelby Starnes
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.
