EVP sounds great! Glycoject also sounds good seeing as how there is karbolyn in it as well as other goodies. Im not quite sure i see the use for Cell KEM though... care to clarify?

How do people who eat a lot still stay ripped? I always thought that to be ripped u needed a calorie deficit.

Tyler - It all depends on your metabolism.  If you have a very fast metabolism then you will be able to eat a lot more than someone who has a sluggish one.  To stay ripped all the time though you have to have a clean and healthy nutrition plan.

Tyler, how is EVP as a pre workout stimulant? I understand it's great NO precursor, but does "wake you up" like say, superpump? Also, are you taking gkycoject before and after, or only after? Thanks

Tyler - So far I love EVP!  It gets me focused and I'm getting extreme painful pumps.  It doesn't have any stimulants in it so the good thing about that is there is no crash afterwards.  If you like the tweaked out feeling that stimulants give you then this wouldn't be the route to take.  I would consider myself a stimulant junkie for years I've always used stims pre workout  to put some pep in my step but I have to say so far I feel like I don't need it and I'm getting better workouts than ever.  As for the glycoject I'm taking it pre and post workout

What do you think the main difference is in your new workouts vs. old? For the people that were following your workouts before, do you reccomend we still follow your old routines? thnx

Tyler - I'm paying more attention to gaining strength right now.  Trying to improve weekly.  Before I would do several drop sets,supersets,giant sets all the time which is a great workout but right now Hany wants my physique to fill out a bit before my upcoming shoots.  I definitely recommend still using my old workouts as a guide but if your trying to gain strength and build mass faster I suggest doing straight sets and not doing drop sets for a little while.

Tyler - I'm currently using glycoject by evogen nutrition.

Tyler- Why do you train chest with biceps, or back with triceps? A lot of other people train complementary muscles like chest with tri's etc. I was trying to find a good answer online but cant seem to. As always thanks for your responses, and good luck with your new training regimen!

Tyler - That was my old split but I used that for years.  It all boils down to personal preference.  I prefer to do biceps with chest so I can hit a fresh muscle group afterward. Triceps get taxed through your whole chest workout so by the time you get to them on a chest day you wouldn't be able to hit them as hard as you would on back day.

TYLER, I HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING TO GAIN ANY SORT OF BICEP PEAK. MY TRICEPS ARE STRONG AND DEVELOPING WELL, AND THE REST OF MY BODY CONTINUES TO GROW AND CHANGE WITH ADJUSTEMENTS I MAKE ALONG THE WAY WITH FINDING OUT WHAT WORKS AND WHAT DOES NOT. HOWEVER, MY BICEPS SEEM TO NOT GROW, AND I HAVE NEXT TO NO PEAK. I HAVE TRIED BARBBELL CURLS, DUMBELL CURLS, CABLE CURLS, CLOSE AND WIDE GRIPS, REVERSE GRIPS, HEAVY WEIGHT LOW REPS, LOWER WEIGHT HIGH REPS, ALL FOR THE SAME RESULTS. IN ADDITION TO THAT EVERY OTHER MUSCLE GROUP I WORK, I AM SORE THE NEXT DAY, I CAN LIFT BI'S ALL DAY LONG AND IM NEVER SORE. DO YOU HAVE ANY RECCOMENDATIION AS TO SOMETHING I CAN TRY THAT WILL HELP ME MAKE GAINS?

Tyler - Try different techniques with arm training such as partials and negatives.  Also make sure your not trying to use too much weight that your not getting a strong contraction at the top of each movement.  To hit the peak the best exercise I've found that works would be concentration curls.  Start your bicep workout with these every time and alternate week to week by doing them standing (arnold style) or seated on a bench using your inner leg as the support.
