Dear Mick,
Does it make any difference to the effectiveness of gear whether it’s swallowed (pills) or injected? I’ve never tried the gear before and have been offered some at my gym.
G.N

Hi Mate,
Well they are different in ways that the injection is directly into the muscle and of course more or less quicker but not necessarily more effective. People are so different.

Tablets take that bit longer but are AS effective. However, they are passed through the bodies filtration system and of course are distributed that way. Some say that the tabs are more toxic than jabs but that is not necessarily so in all cases. It depends a lot on the amounts anyway.

That is why dosages HAVE to be taken steadily no matter what arse holes tell you to take LOADS without pyramiding. remember, once it is in, you have gotta wait till it comes out and that can take a bit of time.

Hi Mick,
Yeah I am writing you because I have been on this low carb-high protein diet. For about 2 months now I have lost 30lbs from it and I am really pleased with the results so far. I am a discus thrower and I am use to spending a lot of time in the weight room my main purpose in there was always to build some size and I always focused on low repetitions with high resistance.

Since this year though I am out of track for a year I decided to drop some weight and improve my appearance. Right now I am interested in working out to gain a more ripped appearance I basically have three questions :

1. Do you think in my situation that the low carb-high protein diet is ideal?

2. If I am on this low carb diet and am interested in improving my muscular definition could I start doing more repitions in my workouts or would it be best to keep the weight up and work on building the definition after i complete the 12 weeks?

3. Do you think that excessive amounts of running are counter productive on the low carb diet? I am trying to put a weight room cardio vascular work out program that is compatible with my diet or if my diet is not ideal for accomplishing these results i would like to go to one that would be better. I would really appreciate any advice I can get and I am glad that there are people like you out there who have the experience to give me any advice that will help me.

Thanks for your time.

Hey Mate,
1. Yes the low carb diet can work quite well, but be aware of the weight loss as it can get to far – keep a good eye on the progress and watch your weight especially. Up the carbs when workouts get to hard to get through.

2. I would keep the weights up and work on building definition at a later date. Personally, I prefer to stay with 10-12 reps on ALL aspects of training, size or definition. Remember it is the diet that rips you up not so much the reps, although the increased reps act similar to aerobic exercise, but the burn rate is not really that fast.

3. Yes definitely because it can rob the body of protein and therefore muscle tissue. Don’t do to much or you will find that you WILL get ripped and a lot smaller too! Not my preferred solution.
