A nationally ranked bodybuilder,Vince was experiencing “burn out.” He was tired of hislongtime proven-effective approach.He was losing his enthusiasm. Vincewas becoming convinced he hadtaken his career about as far as itwas going to go following the roadhe was on. Vince felt impaled on thehorns of a dilemma: that his currentmethods worked was beyond dispute. What was also beyond disputewas the cold hard fact that he hadn’tsignificantly improved in over ayear. Should he abandon his proveneffective ways and strike out in anentirely new bodybuilding direction– with no guarantee that his new approach would yield results? Shouldhe “Man Up” and stay the course,using his tried-and-proven methodsof training and eating? Should hereconcile himself to the fact that asa 40 year old man, future progresswould be measured in teeny stepsand infinitesimal degrees? Whichway should he jump? Should hejump at all? The 5’9” athlete competed in shredded-and-ripped condition weighing 175 pounds and wasknown for his symmetry and muscular delineation. Vince knew hewas treading water and the tippingpoint came when his enthusiasm, al-www.parrillo.comways off the charts, began to wane.He knew a drastic repositioning andrecalibration might be the only wayto reenergize his enthusiasm. Still hewas haunted by doubts and indecision. “I felt as if I had painted myselfinto a corner. I had spent many yearsgetting to a certain level – yet onceI obtained my pro card I hit a plateau that I could not overcome.” Asa longtime Parrillo adherent, it eventually dawnedon Vince that he had totake a chance and makethe leap: if he were to generate radical results hewould need a radically different approach. As JohnParrillo has pointed outsince 1980, a competentcompetitive bodybuilderneeds a series of effectivetraining regimens readyto roll out when stagnation inevitably sets in.To use an appropriateanalogy, think of effectiveweight training and cardio routines as shirts hungneatly on hangers in acloset: when one shirt getsdirty or when a particularroutine goes stale, time tothrow the shirt/routine intothe wash and time to pull1-800-344-3404another fresh shirt/routine off therack. Note that we didn’t say “timeto throw the proven effective routinein the trash,” we hang the provenroutine (or diet) back in the closetfor future use. Top pros might have adozen different routines, proven routines, and rotate them regularly. Atthe elite level, seasoned bodybuilders actually anticipate stagnationVince winning his division at the WNPF New JerseyState Powerlifting Championships on June 28, 2008Performance Press / October 2008

I was abit apprehensive that by shifting topure powerlifting I would aggravatethis condition. It blew my mindwhen after committing to a fullblown power program my joint paindisappeared!”Vince attributed the disappearanceof joint pain to a reduction in hisoverall training volume. “As abodybuilder I trained 5-6 times aweek and as a powerlifter I trainthree times a week. Despite handlingway more poundage, my sessionswere less frequent. Miraculously,my joint pain vanished completely.It seemed counterintuitive; it turnedout that even though I was handlingfar less poundage, training often,using higher reps, was far morejoint-inflammatory than slammingbig iron for lower reps on a relativelyinfrequent basis.” Vince alsorediscovered his enthusiasm. Withina week of commencing his newtraining template he felt reborn andreinvigorated. “I found that onlytraining three times a week hadtremendous psychological benefit.Instead of dreading going to thegym to do the same old stuff in thesame old way, I suddenly was sofired up that on my off days I woulddaydream about the weights I wouldbe handling in my next scheduledsession. By purposefully stayingout of the gym I found myself dyingto get back into the gym.” Vincecombined his newfound enthusiasmwith a power training template andwww.parrillo.comunderpinned it all witha classical Parrillo “offseason” nutritional te mplate.

A BODYBUILDER IS BORN: GenerationsJOHN PARRILLO’S PERFORMANCE PRESSIt’s funny how your attitudeabout certain things can changeas you get older. When I was akid, late August was a miserabletime of year. It meantthat the glorious summervacation was almost over,and very soon life wouldreturn to the monotonousdrudgery of waking upevery day and going toschool, doing homework,and counting the days untilthe next vacation – muchthe way prisoners markthe days until their releaseinto freedom. I think Iactually used to mark thedays in hash marks on thewall of my cell, er, I meanbedroom. I would even stayawake through the entire 36hours of the annual JerryLewis Labor Day telethonfor muscular dystrophy,as this truly representedthe last gasp of summer. Itwas my desperate attemptto distract myself fromthe inevitable return ofthe school year, which Iequated with boredom, confinement,and suffering. You would thinkI attended The Hitler MilitaryAcademy and my instructors wereSaddam Hussein, Genghis Khan,Idi Amin, and Benito Mussolini.10Apparently I greatly exaggeratedthe cruelty of my teachers and thetorture of the school day in myfeverish little mind.“The day you think youknow it all, you’re done.”Now, seemingly centuries later, Ifind myself anxiously awaiting thestart of the new school year ratherthan dreading it. As a father of kidsentering third and ninth grades, Iwould at last have them back into aOctober 2008 / Performance Pressroutine and out of my hair for mostof the week. No longer would I bepressured out of guilt into endlesstrips to beaches, amusement andwater parks lest myprecious little angelsever have to experienceboredom, and made tofeel more like the activitydirector on a cruise shipthan a parent (“Macaranalessons on the main deckat noon!”) My daughterhad a vast social networkyet was still too young todrive, which put me in theposition of her personalchauffeur on call 24 hoursa day. Now, blissfully,many of those hours shewould be stuck inside aclassroom and I wouldbe free to work, train, ordo whatever I pleased allday.Actually, at two weeksbefore the first day ofschool, Marisa was alreadybeing kept busy practicingfor her new sport, fieldhockey. Never have I seen a pieceof sporting equipment that seemedmore suited to bludgeoning ahuman skull than hitting a ball thanthe field hockey stick. My clientJared was now in football practice,1-800-344-3404www.parrillo.comthe only sophomore playing on thevarsity squad. Physically, he wasnow just as muscular and powerfulas his older teammates (if a bitshorter), which was a testamentto his hard work in the gym overthe past year and a few months.And like a real trooper, the kid wasstill keeping up his lifting despitebeing out working his tail off inpractice for five or six hoursin the sickening humidity ofMassachusetts in August.Under my advisement,he went home and had anenormous meal of steak andpotatoes and laid down fora solid hour-long nap beforemeeting me at the gym.I also had him sluggingseveral 50/50 Plus shakesduring breaks in practiceto keep his strength andendurance up, in additionto using other products likeMax Endurance , LiverAminos , and MuscleAminos incopiousamounts due to his gruelingphysical activity regimen.“Are you drinking one of thoseenergy drinks before you comehere, like Red Stallion or PopStar?” I asked.

JOHN PARRILLO’S PERFORMANCE PRESSit is suggested to take Enhanced GHFormula immediately upon awaking, before training and just beforebedtime. Taken before bed (2 to 3 capsules), these easy to digest capsuleswill dissolve as you sleep, providingyou with GH-triggering amino acids.Grow while you sleep! Take them inthe morning too, and prior to training.Rest and recuperation canwork in conjunction withgrowth hormone (GH) if thisrelationship is properly understood.For background, growth hormone(GH) is a protein hormone made bythe pituitary gland, a small secretorygland at the base of the brain.Hormones, chemical messengerssecreted by endocrine glands intothe bloodstream, are delivered totarget tissues, where they exerttheir effects. (1) Although growthhormone is of interest to adults,its primary function is to promotegrowth during childhood. Activelygrowing children have the highestlevels of growth hormone. Gradually,GH release decreases with age. Thedecline in GH levels may in fact bethe cause of some of the processes ofaging. If you haven’t made good gainsin awhile try to incorporate some ofthe following GH-releasing ideas.GH & Rest between SetsAn important exercise parameterthat seems to enhance GH releaseis to use shorter rest intervals whentraining. To do this, of course, youhave to use lighter weights (andmore reps). A difficult protocol thatworks well to increase GH levels is totrain to failure at 10 reps (use 10 repmaximum weight) combined withone-minute rest intervals (5). If you’reused to resting 3-5 minutes betweensets, shorten up the rest interval14REST, RECUPERATION, & GHto one minute or less; it will workwonders. Sometimes bodybuildersget into a rut; they plateau andcan’t figure out the problem. Itmight be that they’re training likepowerlifters: very heavy weights,very low reps with long rest intervals.In 1993 a scientific study comparedthe GH-release of 20 sets of onerep each (done maximally) to 10sets of 10 reps (also maximum)and found the 10 sets of 10 repsresulted in greater GH release (6).Why? Probably the larger volumeof work, done with enough reps toresult in some lactic acid production,combined with short rest intervals, isthe best way to trigger GH release. Itmay prove beneficial to include somehigh intensity aerobics as part ofyour cardiovascular training. Thereseems to be theoretical justificationto include sprinting for better resultsA postscript here: Weight trainingis incredibly intense exercise andwithin seconds of the commencementof a heavy set, energy reservesare depleted and waste productsbegin to accumulate (1-4). Creatinephosphate serves as an energy donorand helps to maintain the supply ofATP, the molecule used by musclesto power contractions. ATP israpidly depleted and strength fadesas a heavy set proceeds, muscularcontractions soon stop altogether.During the rest interval between setsATP and creatine phosphate storesOctober 2008 / Performance Pressare repleted. Supplementation withCreatine Monohydrate can help theentire depletion-regeneration processas it increases intracellular Creatinepools(5-6). Supplement with ourCreatine Monohydrate Formula andyou will get a better training effect.Sleep & Stress IssuesAlways try to get enough sleep,especially since GH is naturallyreleased at night. If you are unable tosleep optimally, your recovery willsuffer and you won’t be able to traineach muscle group as frequently.You can also stimulate the releaseof growth hormone through theingestion of amino acids. ArgininePyroglutamate and Lysine Mono hydrochloride, two potent aminoacids, when isolated and groupedtogether and taken on a regularbasis have been shown to promotethe secretion of growth hormonein the body. Parrillo Performancehas grouped this amino duo in itsEnhanced GH Formula . Thesetwo aminos have been shown tostimulate the release of GH in testsubjects. Growth hormone is themightiest of all hormonal secretionsas it increases mass and decreasesbodyfat simultaneously, and aids injoint repair!This particular amino grouping isbest taken on an empty stomach and1-800-344-3404www.parrillo.comMuscle growth and decreased bodyfat are the ultimate goals of every hard-training bodybuilder andstrength athlete and muscle can’tgrow without growth hormone.Growth hormone increases lean bodymass by stimulating protein synthesis and increasing nitrogen retention.GH is anabolic, meaning that it actsto promote incorporation of nutrients into new body tissues (1,2). Oneway to increase your natural GH levels is through supplementation witha special combination of amino acids (3), combined with adequate restand sleep.Beyond GH: Rest &Recovery NutritionNutrition plays an absolutely centralrole in the rest and recovery process.The foods you eat supply you withthe building blocks the body needsto repair itself. If you are training intensely and getting enough sleep butnot eating right, then your growthpotential will be severely limited.You should be getting one to twograms of protein per pound of bodyweight every day for optimal growthand recovery (7-10). Most bodybuilders use a protein supplement asthe foundation for their nutritionalprogram. We think the best protein on the market is our Hi-ProteinPowder or Optimized Whey Pro-www.parrillo.comtein . Our whey protein is fortifiedwith extra glutamine and branchedchain amino acids. In terms of recovery and growth the two mostimportant supplements are proteinpowder and Creatine Monohydrate.Carbohydrates are required to maintai
