Wow! Unlike anything ANYTHING else I have ever read regarding fat loss! (and I have read tuns!) Are we saying that we will achieve 2-3 times more fat loss than an already effective program? and that the same goes for lean muscle gains too?
I assume that the program includes diet+workout correct?
Also, I was told by my physician that I have some scoliosis and need to fix it early. It is probably from muscle imbalance since (I think) I did not do my lower abs and overdid it with dead lifts and hyper-extensions. Will I get help form this program on this?
Keep rockin!

@ Ryan:

Great to see your comment up here, Ryan!

Thanks for your interest – have an awesome day,

@ Carey:

You’re welcome, Carey!

Thanks for listening :-)

@ karen speir:
Thanks Karen!

Stay tuned – psyched to see your comment up here. Very nice to meet you :-)

@ Stacey:
Hey Stacey,

So psyched to hear your enthusiasm!

Sure, generally speaking, just exercise around an injury. Do whatever you can that doesn’t cause pain and learn to sub in exercises as needed. I go over a lot of program customization stuff in Full Throttle Fat Loss, so I’m sure that will make more sense soon… no pressure, or anything, but just want you to know that I’ve got you covered, and I’m here for you :-)

have a great day,

@ Frank A:
Hey Frank,

It’s SO cool to hear these updates on your success! Congratulations!

(and enjoy the cruise – sounds awesome!)

Great question – here’s a basic breakddown of the differences:

1. Ab Strength Guide – quick fix, 10 minute abs program (stand alone or supplemental to other workouts)

2. Mission Unbreakable – Tissue Release, Mobility, & Flexibility – 10 minute follow-along music interval based workouts for pre/post-workout routines

3. DEFL – full fitness and fat loss education + crazy exercises most people have never seen before and neuro-fat loss introduction

4. FTFL – beginner to advanced, fat to lean, all within 16 weeks – take anywhere, just a dumbbell and optional exercise ball. Plus, my latest and greatest.

No matter what you decide, I’m so glad you’re on a great path! It’s been fun coaching you so far, Frank, and I’m looking forward to seeing you through your goals.

Onward and forward,

@ Dr. H:

Building muscle often times has to do with caloric consumption, rep ranges, rest periods, and muscle sequencing, Dr. H. Very glad you asked!

First – you have to consume enough protein to build muscle. Start with 30g every morning, as per Tim Ferriss (awesome advice)

Second – alternate low and high rep exercises with antagonistic (opposite) muscle groups to allow reciprocal inhibition (neurological relaxation of the muscle you just worked) to take place.

Third – Make sure to work proximal (central in your body) to distal (arms and legs) in every workout, except once per week, when you mix it up.

Fourth – It might make sense to use a program to follow guides you through this… it’ll help make sense of the entire equation.

Full Throttle Fat Loss has an entire periodization phase on:

Strength + Agility = Metabolism.

You’ll love that part :-)

hope this helps a ton!

@ nelson:
Hey Nelson,

This is a great question.

Yes, you definitely want to incorporate more pulling, but you also have to specifically emphasize the muscles you want to target. For example, you’ll want to build stability in your muscles in this order:

1) Multifidi (triangularly shaped low back muscles that work to help you counter-rotate or backwards bend when working together) – they are part of your ‘true’ core, so to speak, and they will need to be strong before your body will accept strength in other areas.

2) Glutes (maximum, medius, minimus) – all 3 glutes are important here. So work on single leg stance exercises, hiking/climbing/stepping motions, and internal rotation exercises like side step squat with a knee hike

3) Proximal Hamstrings (upper) – exercises like bent-leg deadlifts, one legged Romanian deadlifts, bridges, spider lunges, etc. all help with this section of your hamstring group.

4) Distal hamstring and calves – this is where you’ll want to integrate the entire puzzle and fire up your nerves all the way down to your feet and help that muscle grow. Bridge Heel to Toe on the Ball is a great example of the entire posterior chain working together.

You see, it’s muscle sequencing that matters, also. Anyway, more to come on this soon…

hope this helps!

dear dr.k those 2 muscle imbalances u said above are just like me because my quads dominate all the time but i tend to replace a quad movement for a hamstring/glute in my program nd with pushin nd pullin i can push alot of weight but i can manage a little in pullin how can i correct this ? is it by focusing on a program that allows pullin??

Hi.

I am a chiropractor and have a degree in Athletic Training, so I understand the importance of the nervous system in relation to optimal performance. I have lost 30# since June, but I’m not seeing the muscle definition that I expected. Any suggestions?
