Q&A with G-Six: Ask Me Anything

[ChrisTuttle]

Great question:

Id go....Large black coffee (iced), sea salt (or regular salt), a 5 hour energy (b12)...I would stay away from energy drinks. Not because i never drink them but i dont want some carbonated as i'd probably be hiccuping or bloated from it during the workout.

Smart! I would do the same except maybe half of that 5 hour energy for I will be up for days! You like that off the wall question don't you? HAHAH

Any thoughts on a stack to supplement a basic HRT protocol?

[Rex]

The last thing id want my intra workout to do is screw up my appetite. Need to stay on schedule with the meals following

I know you do.
Dude, witnessing what you did to your physique with your pure dedication, hard work and passion makes ME feel proud.

I would go with (in addition foundational supps);

M-Stak
Whey
Pump
Juiced Aminos

42 days of MSTAK and break or is that the one you can take consistently. Do you think adding in NSC is a good idea?

Thank you. Being misguided for so long screwed me up but im glad i learned the idea of nutrient timing and not eating unnecessary bullshit at the wrong time. Helped me progress

Are you able to expand on this at all for those of us looking to learn?

For my body type: eating massive amounts of carbs and no cardio at each meal is stupid. I learned to eat carbs when im going to use it as fuel (around workouts and surrounding that). Being conservative with such as to not become insulin resistant and literally just store fat. I learned that on non training day, carbs could be zero and just run with protein/fats. Daily cardio is essential for lean gains

I honestly think I may be in the same boat, I am fat as shit and I really haven't been blowing my calories out of the water. I do think on non training days carbs could be eliminated for me. I have a baseline diet adn I am new at this so I am going to see how it works.

Its all about genetics. Its all about how you approach and ease into a diet/make adjustments. What Roman Fritz does, i could never do. Two completely different body types and metabolisms. You have to see how your body assimilates carbs. If i go too high, i get fat. If i go too low, i dont get bigger. There are other factors that are key factors that need adjustment if you cant push food hard if you wanna be huge, and those factors i will not discuss on an open forum (if youre following my drift). My current diet has pretty high carb for me but i worked extremely slowly up to it and adjusted cardio accordingly. Its all about how you approach/set the situation up which could make the difference between adding quality tissue or adding unwanted fat. If you think you are fat, i recommend doing a cut/ cardio almost like a 8 week contest prep. Get lean. Then slowly start from there.

Roger that and I follow you on the other factors. Unfortunately that is something I cannot try or chase ever so I have to follow the route I am on. I am on the road now and I went to whole foods and I picked up my food so I am on the right track.

If I may add, all of this is great advice for ALL bodytypes.

Ever tried the monsters with tea? The lemonade and red ones are awesome...20 calories in a can, no carbonation, and not an obscene amount of caffeine.

I have. They are good but i have a tough time finding them in stores

[Nmowery]

Ahhhh that sucks, those things are everywhere in my area and are the only energy drinks I mess with. Most of em are loaded with sugar, and the carbonated low cal ones just taste like ass.
