Lee, I must admit, you're the most straightforward good old school pro.......You're just as open and friendly since I followed your advice just around the Time you met your wife on a yacht/sail boat. (your friends arranged the meeting and its so nice also that you're still happily married!! God bless and wish you continuing happiness!! THANK YOU for all the great-great help over the decades.
Thank you Lee, so good to see your TH-cam Channel. I helped a friend prep for Mr. Olympia, he diligently used your book to prepare! Best Regards, Patricia
great respect for Lee, its amazing how a shorter guy was able to still become an elite pro by having complete proportions and great shape and conditioning. Lee still walks the walk, and owns a successful company, all coming from just doing what he loves! talk about inspiration, hes the epitome of what every person in the health and fitness industry wants to be.
Hi Lee I've just started working out this week. I gained weight for the last three years when my mom was sick. It's great to see advice like this from a pro Thanks G from Toronto
When I heard I saw and heard the name Hunter Labrada my immediate thought,, Lee Labrada my Favorite Body Builder from the 80s,. It’s good see his son continuing the Labrada legacy,,.
Lee i have been watching your videos when i was in the High SCHOOL ... you are always Honest and truthful in teaching about exercise and diet great knowledge and great information you always have ...... God bless
Lee I selected you as my trainer on BB.com. I entered into the 2014 transformation contest and I am following your 12 week transformation to get me kick started. I would like to meet you someday as your always a cool mild mannered guy from what I see in your videos really awesome. Hopefully I win next year and will give you a SHOUT OUT!
Lee, I just want to say that you have become an inspiration to myself. Your humbleness and dire drive to succeed at everything that you do is unmatched. Your supplements are incredible, especially the Lean Body as a post workout protein supplement with my banana and peanut butter. I haven't yet reached muscle maturity but I can see that I was blessed with great genetics. My vascularity is great (always room for improvement) and my gains this past month and a half have been incredible. I hope to be competing against your son in the near future and wish you and your family the best. Great vibes your way!
I remember back in the late 80's as a teenager being obsessed with bodybuilding.. I was meandering around some department store and ended up in the book section and my eyes lit up when I saw Lee Labrada on the cover a book called freestyle bodybuilding.. I reached into my pocket to see if I had enough money and made the purchase..
I never knew that blade labrada is your son and I graduated with him from cy creek. Just found out 2 weeks ago when I got your lean body protein. It's epic that Mr olympia's son went to school with me
Thanks Lee! Great info. I read your interview with Clayton South and learned a lot there as well. I've had a lot of success from what you've taught. Cheers!! Ryan
Hey Lee,thanks for all your videos and articles , a big motivation and realistic approach to diet and trainings, now I know where to starting, thanks again
Tremendous respect, Lee! Thanks for all the great (and helpful) videos as well as posts. I can't believe what treasure trove of valuable information I find from you and your team. You've got some incredible athletes there! Just fixing to order some product from you, I'm already taking the HICA I saw you recommend and it is working quite well. Very happy trainer here! Best regards.
Great to hear from you Benjamin, thank you for giving Labrada Nutrition supplements a try. Wish you all the best with your fitness goals. Remember water is the building block to good health. Have a great week.
Lee what kind of oil did you used to boiled that taco? Thanks for this videos that keeps all new athletes updated with all the info given to you by first hand
Hi Lee Its G from Toronto. Just an update. I lost now 40 lbs in just over four months. Thanks for your videos and great info. I'm not done yet I'm going to lose another 40 more pounds. Thanks Again G from Toronto
Hey G, congratulations on all the hard work. 40lbs in 4 months is a tremendous transformation. Toronto is an amazing city especially in the summer. Hope you enjoy all the hard work you have been putting in. Keep it up, we are wishing you all the best from Houston Texas.
Hello Mr Labrada! I have been following your videos for a couple of weeks now and subsequently subscribed to your TH-cam channel as I find your videos extremely informative and devoid of anything unnecessary which people normally resort to in order to boost ratings and look more "adapting to the changing times".Good old accurate information.And boy do you look great! I've got one query in context to your video.I've heard that fruit must be consumed in isolation and not with any other food type.Can you shed some light on this? Always a fan!!
I've gotta agree with all the comments below, i stumbled on your channel after following Hunter 's national win. And this channel is so informative and straight forward love it
Thanks for the video. It's cool to know you don't have a problem with eating several pieces of fruit a day. Lately the media is full of stories how unhealthy and full of sugar fruit is. But I find I stay full longer and lose weight when I make fruit protein smoothie for breakfast and have fruit as a snack later on.
Hey Raheem, thank you for the compliment. I think I will leave the workout videos up to Hunter these days. At 22 he's already far bigger and stronger then I ever was! Hope you have a great week!
How's it going lee. Great stuff man! Searched your channel for a vid on carb cycling. Couldn't find any. Would really want to hear your take on carb cycling. Thank you sir!
Lee, you're the man. Great physique.... I'm looking for a little advice. I'm trying to get big, but at the same time, lower body fat. Especially in the torso. I'm around 14% now and really want more definition but don't want to sacrifice important muscle building calories. Any recommendations as far as macro ratios. I pretty much eat a balance right now very much like what's in your lunchbox. Thanks in advance, Brian
Hey Brian. Thanks for contacting us here at Labrada. To maintain and lose fat I have found in the past 15 kcal per body pound per day is a good place to start. With a ratio of 35% protein, 40% carb, 25% fat. Now depending on genetics, and your own metabolism you may want to adjust the carbs and fats to fit what you feel is best for you. While keeping the proteins where they are. Of course focusing the fats in mono and polyunsaturated fat sources throughout the day. Also 0.5 gallons of water each day per 100 grams of protein consumed. I hope these guidelines help you achieve your goal. All the best Brian thanks again for writing in!
Question, I've found that buying huge bags of bone in chicken are cheaper than breasts. Although that would be nice. The bags I buy are leg quarters, but I skin them and slice all the fat off, then bake, grill, or pressure cook them. They come in at $7.30 a bag and feed me all week. Am I safe in assuming that makes them just as good as white meat with possibly a gram or two of fat extra?
Hey Arlington, I hear what you are saying... Trying to save costs when buying food is a challenge, especially while trying to gain muscle. If you are eliminating all the fat you can, then you are doing the best you can with what kind of meat you want to purchase. I don't know if you can assume it makes the meat the same however. All we can do is the best we can with what we have. Hope this helps answer your question, all the best this week Arlington.
Not with a microwave. A convection oven, bamboo steamer, toaster oven, indoor grill or a wave oven. Anything but a microwave will give you better than pretty good results.
I love rice but if you are predisposed to weight gain you have to steer away from carbs as much as possible and stick to a paleo type diet. Gary Taubes' books talk about carbs and particularly fructose being responsible for western obesity. No need to avoid fats at all.
Jay Jackson We appreciate you trusting us with such a question, but the answer would take far too long to write in this box. If your goal is to lose body fat while maintaining and even possibly building muscle, I would recommend checking out the Lean Body Trainer on bb.com - Here's the link - www.bodybuilding.com/fun/lee-labrada-12-week-lean-body-trainer.html Wish you all the best Jay! Thank you for being a part of our YT channel.
I get confused at times worrying about sugar. I want to have a yogurt in the evening but they're loaded with sugar. Is that ok if you at similar to he does (as I do) and have a yogurt with the added sugar? Clearly it works for him but I am doubting I workout as much as he does.
Can you imagine a Master's Olympia? If it was still on, Lee would kick everyone's glutes! He STILL looks incredable at age.....50? Wow! I sure would like to see some more 'lifestyle' types of clips, a blog type of approach perhaps? Give us a posing routine/tips some day, Lee! Thanks Lee!
Hey lee..iv jus started watching your vids and are interesting. Need some help if you dont mind What type of carbs do i eat to burn fat.. do i eat complex carb like brown rice, Sweet potato, brown bread and oat meal or do i eat starchy carbs such as white rice n white potato Do i have the same type of carbs throughout the day ( e.g complex carbs every meal etc) or different typs of carbs espesially for the pre workout meal. I mainly train in the eavnings after work Many thanks oggy
Hey Oggy, Please take some time and check out all our videos, we have an Ask Lee on this very topic of simple vs complex carbs. Here's a link - th-cam.com/video/3vJrvkJ4EA0/w-d-xo.html If you want even more info, come try out the Lean Body Trainer for free - everything you need to know is in there - www.bodybuilding.com/fun/lee-labrada-12-week-lean-body-trainer.html?searchterm=lean%20body Hope this helps!
For sure you can, our ability to generate dense muscle has more to do with our overall nutrition for the day then the shakes consumed between meals. As long as you're consuming around 0.8 grams of protein per ideal body pound per day you can recover and build muscle optimally. Hope this helps, thanks for the question.
Lee I have a question I already take my amino acids with empty stomach between my meal once a day ,but I make a fruit shake that I take to work is just a few fruits in the blender with water sometimes I add carrots and I was wondering if I can add amino acids to this and if it works or will interrupts with the absorption?? Thank u and your team
Hey Angel, thanks for writing in. We tend to recommend consuming BCAA on their own. One of the reasons is simply to ensure overall water consumption is met 0.6 ounces of water per pound per day is what we would like to see. This also ensures the bodies digestive system is primed to focus on only the BCAA and the same goes for the digestion of the nutrients in your veggie and fruit shakes. Hope this has helped. Wish you all the best with your fitness and nutrition goals.
Dony, oats are a good source of carbs, however we do recommend having a different kinds of whole food carbs with your individual meals. Wish you all the best with your fitness goals.
Mr labrada please I have very specific question I wish u answer me Sir ! the first bag out of the box has 2 chicken breast and the second was plastic container has rice in it right ? how many gram of protein in the first bag approx ? and how many carbs in the plastic container of the rice ? ur answer will be very helpful for me even if it was stupid question !
mga7891 Thanks for the question, but unfortunately there is no way to tell how many grams of protein and carbs with the description provided. What we would recommend is buying a food scale. From here you can use Google to find out the amount of protein by weight there is in chicken. Hope this helps, all the best.
Ive. been eating almost the same type of diet as what might be in you lunch box. Four to five meals a day. I drink most of my protein, but can't seem to lose any body fat. I work out with heavy weight 5 days a week and do cardio every other day. This particular regimen I've been doing for three months now, with no appreciable difference in body fat levels. What can I be doing wrong?
I can´t eat rice anymore, it just makes me fat. I could back in the day but nowadays I need to keep the carbs very low. I never thought I would say this but I don´t think rice is for everyone. Oatmeal is ok in the morning, from then on and out the days its all lean meat.
Interesting... I find that too much starch in the cutting phase makes it difficult to lose bodyfat plus the sugar from all the fruit is counter productive but i'm not sure what Lees training habits are and he has a different body structure than myself.I rely on whole granis early in the day and lots of veggies at lunch and dinner with some protein like chicken or fish throughout the day.Sodium,sat fat and sugar are the enemy I think...
Lee..question, after years of following your tips for fitness and such, i believe your truly a master of your art. But i have to say am confused, being healthy is one thing, but using a microwave to warm your food. After years of research, which am a doctor or oriental medicine, found that microwaves remove most of the nutritional value from the food. The Russians found this to be true and banned all micro waves from the country in the 80's..please advise .
Hi Jr Droke, this is a very interesting topic. I have read a few research studies discussing the potential lose of nutrients but I have yet to find any article that is conclusive. I do try and use the microwave as minimally as possible though. If you can avoid using the microwave all together, it can only help. All the best Droke.
+Kevin Pickell You're welcome to mix with any beverage you like. Skim milk is a great choice if you are trying to gain mass. If you are trying to lean out using water with your whey will cut down on overall calories. Hope this helps, and thank you for choosing Labrada Nutrition.
parminder Sharma We have just the thing for you, here's a trainer the Labrada team and I put together call the Lean Body Challenge www.bodybuilding.com/fun/lee-labrada-12-week-lean-body-trainer.html wish you all the best.

Ok for starters...half the people that comment won't look anywhere near as good at his age. Not saying he's old. And he's true to fact. I try my best to eat clean foods, and enjoyed the segment. But..... I will say this. That is no lunch box . LOL! thanks for the video!!
Lee, I must admit, you're the most straightforward good old school pro.......You're just as open and friendly since I followed
your advice just around the Time you met your wife on a yacht/sail boat. (your friends arranged the meeting and its so nice
also that you're still happily married!! God bless and wish you continuing happiness!! THANK YOU for all the great-great help

Not with a microwave. A convection oven, bamboo steamer, toaster oven, indoor grill or a wave oven. Anything but a microwave will give you better than pretty good results.
nice vid lee, food still looks enjoyable yet very clean calories
I love rice but if you are predisposed to weight gain you have to steer away from carbs as much as possible and stick to a paleo type diet. Gary Taubes' books talk about carbs and particularly fructose being responsible for western obesity. No need to avoid fats at all.
Hey Lee! Have you discontinued your Lean Pro8 protein powder product?
Thanks,Lee. You rock!
Thanks Jay! All the best.

Thanks again,Lee! I'll be checking it out.....
so wait... each meal should be divided into 3 parts . Protein, slow acting carbs and simple sugars? Does that sound correct?
I get confused at times worrying about sugar. I want to have a yogurt in the evening but they're loaded with sugar. Is that ok if you at similar to he does (as I do) and have a yogurt with the added sugar? Clearly it works for him but I am doubting I workout as much as he does.
I will like to know if you are on TRT
Lee, what is the brand of the cooler box you are using ?
Can you imagine a Master's Olympia? If it was still on, Lee would kick everyone's glutes! He STILL looks incredable at age.....50? Wow!
I sure would like to see some more 'lifestyle' types of clips, a blog type of approach perhaps? Give us a posing routine/tips some day, Lee!

Can we take just bcaa between meals or if we don't have time for even a whey shake as well??
For sure you can, our ability to generate dense muscle has more to do with our overall nutrition for the day then the shakes consumed between meals. As long as you're consuming around 0.8 grams of protein per ideal body pound per day you can recover and build muscle optimally. Hope this helps, thanks for the question.
so, how is he supposed to heat up his food then? and almost every bodybuilder does it this way, and they have gotten some pretty good results.

que hermosa sonrisa tiene señor fortachon.
Sensible nutrition. I like it.
Thanks Dennis!
Mr labrada please I have very specific question I wish u answer me Sir ! the first bag out of the box has 2 chicken breast and the second was plastic container has rice in it right ? how many gram of protein in the first bag approx ? and how many carbs in the plastic container of the rice ? ur answer will be very helpful for me even if it was stupid question !

Maybe you are not weighing out your macros and taking way over calories to provide a deficit...
I can´t eat rice anymore, it just makes me fat. I could back in the day but nowadays I need to keep the carbs very low. I never thought I would say this but I don´t think rice is for everyone. Oatmeal is ok in the morning, from then on and out the days its all lean meat.

Me gusta su recia personalidad señor.
Same things I eat. Or almost any bodybuilder for that matter. I never get tired of rice and chicken though.
Lee..question, after years of following your tips for fitness and such, i believe your truly a master of your art. But i have to say am confused, being healthy is one thing, but using a microwave to warm your food. After years of research, which am a doctor or oriental medicine, found that microwaves remove most of the nutritional value from the food. The Russians found this to be true and banned all micro waves from the country in the 80's..please advise .
Hi Jr Droke, this is a very interesting topic. I have read a few research studies discussing the potential lose of nutrients but I have yet to find any article that is conclusive. I do try and use the microwave as minimally as possible though. If you can avoid using the microwave all together, it can only help. All the best Droke.

Give me one of us lunch box...😎😎😎
Nice meals, I eat a lot of fruits too.
Can I have low fat or skim milk? I often mix it with my protein shake powder.
+Kevin Pickell You're welcome to mix with any beverage you like. Skim milk is a great choice if you are trying to gain mass. If you are trying to lean out using water with your whey will cut down on overall calories. Hope this helps, and thank you for choosing Labrada Nutrition.

+Damian Duenas Any whole wheat tortilla will work, we always recommend reading the ingredients to make sure you know what's in your food, all the best.
Ok for starters...half the people that comment won't look anywhere near as good at his age. Not saying he's old. And he's true to fact. I try my best to eat clean foods, and enjoyed the segment. But..... I will say this. That is no lunch box . LOL! thanks for the video!!
