Beetroot Juice: Endurance athletes’ elation or another flop? (Guest Post by Mark Funnell) | Nutrition consultant

Sorry I missed this. I just browsed the article. IF you've got a Question, let me know.

happy holidays with your loved ones Scott.

May I ask your comment about my weight gain in one month period of time on Turbo Tier 3 for three weeks and one week intensive cruise :
I started 84.1kg at 12% BF (caliper measured) by 2860 kcal total daily cal intake then reached to 85.5kg at the end of first blast(30days) but my BF becomes 13%. My training days cal was 2860 and off days cal was 2100-2200 according to FT diet rules. My macros was 2.2g/kg Protein (one shake and rest from meat) 1.0g/kg Fat (from olive oil coconut oil and some dairy) rest was carbs on training days and no carbs on Off days (only lots of veggies).

I want to gain lean muscle mass with no fat gain ( in fact I want it decreased down to 10% during packing the muscle).

Waiting for your kind comments and valuable advises .

Thank you

P.S. : muscle rounds fired up my strength . I'm much appreciated for this to you

Hakan,

Some basic Q's for you at first.

What blast on FT is this for you? What Tier(s) did you use when you did previous blasts?... (Did you progress on the other blasts?...)

Could you give me some of you weights you're using for the Loading sets, e.g., for squats, any barbell pressing, etc.

How much has your strength progressed with FT (form 1st blasts to end of this one)

Why did you have to cut the blast short to just 3 weeks?... This is OK - it's at the bottom of the range and some might find they grow better "out of the gate" and intentionally pick a Tier the tends to mean Blasts are shorter. You might also do a short blast b/c you've got holidays / vacation coming up (like right now) so you do things that way.

What strikes me - what I'm getting at for the above is:

Tier III Turbo is for those who are, pardon the expression, "gawddamn workhorses." Few are going to be able to handle that, but some can thrive on it. More is not always better and this could be the case for you.

I've mentioned it a few times, but the person who was the most advanced among my beta testers for the program (behind only now an IFBB pro and another guy who will be in the next couple years, I'm pretty sure) needed to use Tier I. He trained like a friggin' monster (former professional athlete in one of the roughest sports) and knows how to put the metal down. I'd much rather have ridiculous training gusto than higher volume.
