@@TheMr0450 bro he's been around for at least that amount of time. I used to love watching his stuff on TH-cam in the early 10s. Also had tons and tons of articles written
I’m a medical student and i’m looking for people like you who combine science with bodybuilding, they are rare. You explain things better than my biochemistry professor, you are a true treasure. Thank you
I have Addison's disease, so my body doesn't produce cortisol. It's taken me years to figure how to effectively train with the condition, as there's no scientific literature on the subject. Tightly regulating my carb intake, and getting my cortisol levels right are the two factors that make the difference between a good training session, or a session which leaves me exhausted and sick. Most people probably aren't attuned to their cortisol levels as I am, but when you get it right, it's something you can feel through your performance.
@DBS DSB It changes depending on activity. But generally I take 25-30mg of hydrocortisone starting with 10mg upon waking then I take 5mg ever 3hrs in 3 doses thereafter. On this schedule I end up dosing immediately before working out. If it's an exceptionally difficult work out , I'll take an additional dose immediately after. I also take 0.01mg of fludrocortisone to replace the aldosterone I no longer produce. Then I push caffeine, nicotine, and an godly amount of sodium and water immediately prior to lifting. I do this to get my BP and HR up so I don't pass out after straining hard.
Thank you so much for going in depth. Please do not make your video shorter please keep them long and very detailed. You are the best horse of real information on the internet
@@THIBARMY Ah sir, it is you who are appreciated. You are doing essential work, and doing it well, and we're all the better for it. I'm a 46 year old man rebuilding after years of letting things go (babies, jobs, stresses, etc). Right now the focus is weight loss and strength training. The battle continues! Cheers!
I can just see loads of people watching this as a form of procrastination instead of getting down to the gym, doing some work, getting home to rice chicken and broccoli.
Always felt more focused not taking carbs preworkout especially during strength workouts but was always second guessing myself because of the info that’s out there of preworkout carbs so I started taking preworkout carbs. But will switch back to carbs middle of workout and post . Great video like always 👍🏼👍🏼
Definitely some of the best workouts I've ever had was back in the day drinking CarboMax 20 minutes before workout. The pump was insane and it felt like I got a second wind 30 minutes into my workout, the sustained energy was definitely noticeable. Had NO idea about the Cortisol response, was just doing what my friends told me lol
I have been reading your articles since “The Beast Evolves” on T-Nation..... Love your work. Hugh fan of yours. Thanks for passing and spreading knowledge forward, and for free.
Absolutely brilliant video Christian! Fascinating topic. Would love to see a video on the optimal way of eating for a natural lifter. Read your 'Best damb diet for a natural lifter' many times but would like to hear you explain the reasoning for what makes it optimal. Loving these videos mate, learn alot from them! Appreciate the effort of what you are doing
Special guy. What a coach & source of info. All crossfit elite are on drugs I don't concur with him on that one, but this man is out the top top draw!!!!
I love the uploads lately Chris! The statements at 15:00 min are very interesting! I do very well on just fat + protein in the AM (usually 4 whole eggs + 3-4 ounches of chickenliver) and a ton of carbs post-workout! I have tried using carbs pre workout, but I didn;t notice a difference in performance. I eat carbs in the evening as well since I always train in the AM, so my glycogen stores are OK when I touch the weights!
Thank you for these videos i havent made progress for a year and taking you advice on frequency,intensity, and cortisol i have finally started to make progress again
Watch this channel grow!! Chris. I’ve stopped the caffeine based on your earlier videos. Interesting no one else talks about the negative impact of stimulants. Keep them coming mate
@@THIBARMY yup. I love coffee. But if it’s coffee or better gains.... I’m going to try cutting out the coffee. For a while at least! Your arguments make sense to me. Assume it’s even more important for a natural.
@@richardtrass Yes. But in all fairness, coffee is not the devil. One or two cups a day is fine. The problem is with the anhydrous caffeine being used in supplements. Causes a much higher cortisol response than caffeine from coffee.
@@THIBARMY Ahh - thanks for clarifying that point Chris - I took your caffeine videos as including coffee and not just pre-workout stimulants and thought I needed to stop my coffee! Good to know I can get back to coffee at some stage (kind of ok with having a bit of a caffeine detox at the moment to be honest - helps with sleep too). When I do get back to coffee do you think it is ok (from a muscle building standpoint) to have AFTER a workout or best done before or does it not really matter much with coffee? I was a bit worried that having coffee after a workout might trigger a cortisol response that negated the workout gains. (I generally work out early in the morning, so it wouldn't be a case of having coffee just before bed if it was post workout).
Absolutely amazing clip here. Seriously this video summarizes things that have taken me years to learn on my own through paying close attention to my nutrition around lifting window. Can’t thank you enough for providing excellent content for people to learn from. Following these principles can save you a lot of time (years) to figure out what really works.
Only as a last resort. I want to keep the carbs around the workouts in as long as possible because it will allow someone to recover better from their workout and increases the chances of being able to build muscle while dieting (or at least reduce the chances of losing muscle).
lantus has the most cross reactivity to igf1 receptors (but will cause insulin resistance in the long term). .. insulin will help shuttle more amino acids into the muscle .... glut4 are sensitive to two things either the muscle is working itself or insulin is secreted, both will cause glut4 to open allowing glucose to shuttle into the cell while amino acids piggy back the glucose to entre the muscle cell. .. Dr. Waqas
I agree 100%. When I say that lantus is more problematic for bodybuilders is because it easily leads to insulin resistance in non-diabetic people. And it's a given that insulin increases glucose and amino acid uptake by the muscles. But the main anabolic effect comes from the IGF-1 activity, especially when combined with growth hormone.
I have anxiety and can't drink coffee or preworkout as my cortisol, adrenaline go to high and after that my sugar go below normal range and during workout I have hypoglicemia reactive. It sucks
So I really like your videos - greeeaat info. But what I think is lacking in all training/ diet videos are some attempts at describing to percentage of add'ed value of adding a certain behaviour. At least a ranking, relative to this video; "which approach will be the easiest way to the greatest gain for the natural lifter?" "Is magnesium a nice to have or a need to have post-workout?" Many thanks for all the stuff you share 🤗
Hi Mr. Thibaudeau. How are you? Great channel you have here, tons of useful infos and tutorials. Coach I'm starting one of your workout program called "6 weeks to superhero". Looks solid program for body composition and fat loss. Now my question is nutrition - should I do it with deficit or maintenance calories? And how much carb intake? Could you please give me solid thorough answer? Thank you in advance brother.
That's a blitz program that is not to be done for more than 4-6 weeks. It is tremendously effective but is one of the highest stress plans I have put out and will crush someone who has a stressful life. My nutritional recommendations would be 1) keep protein at 1.25g per pound of bodyweight, 2) put most of your carbs around the workout, 3) adjust your caloric intake so that you lose around 2lbs per week (3 is acceptable). If you lose more than 3 per week you will crash and burn by week 3.
Yes, for diabetic absolutely. However, I was talking about bodybuilders using it. When bodybuilders use it it make them insulin resistance in a week or less as opposed to short-acting insulin which has a much smaller change of leading to insulin resistance if used once a day.
At the end you mentioned for Magnesium to take 3x500mg (post workout and spread throughout the day) and 1x1500mg (before bed) - total 3000mg. The RDA is 400mg for Magnesium though... is it safe for lifters to go way above this limit?
Truth bombs every second! However. Even highly branched cyclic dextrin takes time to absorb. In order for anything to be usefull it has to be in your bloodstream. So how much time? If I take it right before I start my bench (17:25) wouldn't that still take like 20 min to be in my blood? Also I have a problem sleeping if I do like a week of good training (going all out and to failure in most cases). Could this be related to adrenaline levels? 20:05 I am not convinced by this part. Growth hormone is not an anabolic hormone, in the sense that it does not affect muscles whatsoever. Furthermore even if insulin increases igf-1, those things are "competing" with each other, so it wouldn't matter. For the post workout, are these 250-500 mg for the entire compound magnesium taurate or just the total magnesium should be 250-500 mg? Glycine helps the "pump" a lot. I haven't use it yet, but I was thinking to take it pre-work out. Is this is OK, when it decreases adrenaline (but also acts like leucine)?
Hey Christian. For me that want to maximize muscle gain and fat loss. Is it more ffective to just consume the carbs pre/peri workout and then a high fat/protein meal post?
coach- so which cyclic dextrins are you referring to? specific? so i can go buy it from my health food store. i'm not privy to dextrins. i always use some form of high glycemic carbs before during and after. any brand specific? thanks.
If you dont eat carbs before the workout or using any carbs while training, but just protein and fats (eggs with bacon fro example)... The body becomes more sensitive to them if you eat them after the workout, right? Meaning more insulin sensitive?
I strength train first thing in the morning and have been consuming a Finibar about 1 hour before my workout, no intra carbs, and the Surge Recovery after. (My overall goal is currently fat loss) However, it seems as outlined in your video I should consume carbs intra and post workout. So would you recommend I get carbs at my last meal the night before, head to the gym and take my 1carbs intra-workout? (Also, I see an opportunity to save some “dough” on my supplements 😉) Thank you in advance!
@@THIBARMY master i have question about bench press and maybe in general weightlifting for hypertrophy. So im into weight lifting for like only half a year. As my home place has been changed i no longer have access to proper gym equipment. For a half year i did 5x5 stronglifts program and achieved 90kg 1rm bench. But now i have access to only a bar and plates total weight of 60kg and after warm-up i do sets of 10 reps until i almost fail or when my friend is with me, i do it until failure. It's not like every time to failure... Anyways the question is, as this weight is starting to feel pretty light at 1st 5 sets, do i just continue adding sets to my workout or do i change rep count? I hope you understood the question, coach. English is not my everyday language to use in communication. Thanks
Which one is that? I have videos in several gyms. For example, those done with Testosterone Nation were shot at their gym in Colorado Springs. In my own videos we often film at the XPN center, now called the Sport Evolution gym, which is owned by a good friend and student of mine. I don't personally own a gym, never have. I'm in Quebec, and at the moment all gyms are closed because of COVID19 situaiton.
I'm not gonna lie, I'm not an endurance expert so what I will say doesn't come from experience. I believe that the best strategy would be carbs before and after.
Amino acids have inividual effects and they also compete with each other for absorption and transport. That's why some amino acids like tyrosine and glycine work better when taken individually. But even if you take it with your protein, it will still work because you will have more of that amino acid and it has a better chance of "winning" the race for absorption/transport. That having been said, I'm not a huge fan of BCAAs and EAAs
Well, true IGF-1 is hard to get and expensive (increlex). I’m not convinced about the legitimacy of the IGF-1 sold by peptide stores. Using GH will also lead to elevated IGF-1, especially if used with insulin. But not everyone wants to go the pharma route (or have the financial means)
To some extent. Magnesium glycinate is a glycine molecule bound to magnesium. In the body both get separated and glycine can do its job. It will have an effect, but the amount is likely insufficient to have the full impact of 3-5g of glycine.
And what would happen if no carbs?, I mean the only carbs you eat during the day are from vegies. Are you going to consume from muscle in form of aminos? or it starts to take the energy from the fat? or from both sources?. And if you take in that case a higher ammount of protein to avoid muscle degradation? . Maybe you can make another video just about it :D. Man, one of the best channels I found, congrats and keep it up!
You will not really break much for energy during a lifting workout. However, no carbs can mean more cortisol from the workout (it will be explained in the video)

Also, you mentioned glycine. So, the thing is I take Magnesium Glycinate after my sessions. Is it like similar? I'm not sure. Thanks though👍
To some extent. Magnesium glycinate is a glycine molecule bound to magnesium. In the body both get separated and glycine can do its job. It will have an effect, but the amount is likely insufficient to have the full impact of 3-5g of glycine.
And what would happen if no carbs?, I mean the only carbs you eat during the day are from vegies. Are you going to consume from muscle in form of aminos? or it starts to take the energy from the fat? or from both sources?. And if you take in that case a higher ammount of protein to avoid muscle degradation? . Maybe you can make another video just about it :D.
Man, one of the best channels I found, congrats and keep it up!
If it’s starchy vegetables like potato it’s good.
You will break down muscle and fat without carbs.
You can mitigate this by eating more protein.
You will not really break much for energy during a lifting workout. However, no carbs can mean more cortisol from the workout (it will be explained in the video)
White Rice matters

I feel like Old Gods is Lovecraft. But I'm getting Conan The Barbarian vibes lol catabolic=muscle loss. Atrophy=also muscle loss? 🤷♀️
