Frequently Asked Questions
Modifying the Program


Question: I have a day coming up where I won't be able to make it to the gym (or even train at home) when I'm supposed to do a training session. How can I adjust the program so that I don't throw off the whole schedule?
Answer:

The structure of this program makes it fairly easy to modify. The simplest way to go about doing this is to simply insert a single day of rest into the schedule on the day you won't be able to train while continuing to follow the same eating pattern as you normally would have for that day.

For example, if Day 4 is the day you can't make it to the gym, simply push it back a day and do low-carb eating on the day that you're missing. You're basically inserting a day off into the program when you can't train then immediately pick it up where you left off.

Very important!! Continue the same eating pattern of the cycle you're on for one day longer so that the training and eating patterns listed in the program still line up. This is only critical during the first week, of course.

 

Question: There is a function/dinner/party coming up where I won't be able to eat according to the plan. What should I do?
Answer:

Just do the best you can and don't get stressed out about it! If you can't strictly follow the eating pattern for a meal or two, it's not going to significantly throw off the results of the entire program. For example, if you're eating low carb but have a meal where you have to eat higher carbs (you might be at a wedding - it's not polite to ask for low-carb cake!), think of it as a quick shock to your system to help spur a metabolic boost, not as blowing your diet.

Basically, as long as you don't go off the pattern for more than a meal or two, you should be just fine. And always think positively rather than worrying about blowing the whole program. It's what you do consistently that gets you the results, not what happens in a single meal.

 

Question:

I would like to adopt your program into my 3 days a week training schedule. Training days: Monday, Wednesday, Saturday Could you let me know how I can adopt your program? How about 2 days a week training? Sometimes I can train only 2 days a week because I am busy for my job. Is it possible to provide me with your program adoption for 2 days a week training? Training days: Wednesday, Saturday

Answer:

No problem! Basically, here's what you would do - I would start with Week 1 on a week where you CAN do 3 training days.

Week 1 -

Monday - do the regular Day 1 training as-is. - low carb eating on monday
Tuesday and Wednesday
Wednesday - do the regular Day 2 training as-is here.
Thursday - one day of low-fat, higher-carb eating
Friday - back to low-carb eating
Saturday - Tissue Remodeling Training

Chest - 6+2
Back - 6+2
Thighs - 6+2
Shoulders - 4 + 1
Biceps - 4 +1
Triceps - 4+1
Calves - 4 +1

Week 2 -

Monday - 20 minutes compound exercise overload
Wed - 25 minutes compound exercise overload
Saturday - 30 minutes compound exercise overload

If you can only do 2 sessions - go with 30 minutes on the first one and 40 minutes on the second one.


Week 3 and 4 - Stretch Pause Training

With these weeks, just keep to the same workout schedule but add days of rest in as you need them to fit your schedule.

For example, do Day 15 on Monday, Day 16 on Wednesday, then Day 18 training on Saturday. Then you would pick up with Day 19 on the following Monday (or whenever you can pick it up again).

Diet isn't an issue here because it's all pretty much the same from here on in.
