michelle grissommichelle grissomMichelle GrissomProving that age is no detriment to progressBy Marty GallagherMichelle Grissom was firstexposed to serious fitnessat age 17 when she took a job ata commercial fitness facility. Theinstant she was exposed to formalfitness, Michelle fell in love withall aspects of fitness, including thebusiness side of it. Three decadeslater, at age 47, Michelle is achampion Physique competitor, ahighly sought after personal trainerand someone that is still in lovewith fitness: she still trains hardand still eats with determineddiscipline. She exemplifies thebodybuilding lifestyle and has aphysique that wins and placeshigh at major Figure and Physiquecompetitions. “At my most recentshow I won the women’s Physiquedivision. This was at The JuliePalmer Showdown on June 4th of2016. I felt good about my conditionand it is always reaffirming to wina competition.” And, we mightadd, especially at age 47. Thefemale competitive categories haveexpanded dramatically over the pastdecade and Michelle is relativelynew to the Physique format. “Icompeted in the Figure division foryears. I placed in the top five in themajority of my Figure shows. I likedFigure competitions, but I felt thatthe Physique format offered me anew set of challenges.” Michelle hasbeen a bodybuilder and competitiveathlete for decades. She enteredher first competition as a Figurecompetitor in 2003. The followingyear, 2004, Michelle entered andwon the prestigious MountaineerOpen. In 2011 Michelle took 5thplace at the GNC National FigureChampionships and in 2013 placedhigh (3rd) at the Mike FrancoisClassic. Michelle placed 4th at Mike’scompetition in 2016, but switched4September 2016Photo by Amir Marandito the women’s Physique division.Michelle has competed eight timesin high-level Figure or Physiquecompetitions.Along the way Michelle alsofound time to train for and run ineight marathons(26.2miles)! Shealso competed in two half IronMan competitions, ran severalhalf-marathons and currentlycompetes in Obstacle Courseracing. Her lifelong passion forrunning has proven the perfecttraining compliment for her liftingand bodybuilding-style nutrition.Running helps keep her lean and fitand enhances her figure/physiquecompetitor efforts. Michelle fell inlove with fitness at an early age.1-800-344-3404“In my early years, I was an aerobicathlete. That all changed for mewhen I saw my first bodybuildingcompetition. I was 18 years oldwhen I saw the Mr./Ms. Daytonbodybuilding championships atNorthmont High School. I thoughtthat bodybuilding was the coolestthing I had ever seen. I left the showcompletely motivated and ready tobecome a bodybuilder. I wanted tobuild some muscle and compete.”At age 17 she got the job at a localfitness club. “Right away, I lovedeverything about fitness and thebusiness of fitness. I took to it somuch that I couldn’t wait to go backto work the very next day after myfirst day at work.”Michelle lives in Dayton, Ohio and ispart of a fitness family: her husbandRob is a competitive athlete. “Robtaught me that to make real gainsan athlete has to step outside theircomfort zone. It is not an easyconcept to put into practice. Robalways coaxed me in the best way,saying things like, ‘Why all the selfdoubt? Who says you can’t do it? Allyou have to do is train for it.’” Likejumping into the deep end of a pool,those that are able to make thatleap make the progress, while thosethat remain frozen on the sidelines,unable to fully commit, never obtainthe sensational gains that come tothose that are able to step outsidetheir comfort zone. Rob got Michelleto train and diet outside her comfortzone and low and behold Michellemade sensational gains, the bestgains of her life. She understandsthat in order to build muscle andmelt off body fat, the twin goals ofbodybuilding, the bodybuilder mustenter into the pain and discomfortzone. As John Parrillo points out,“No one ever got better doing thesame things over and over. The dutyof the successful bodybuilder is tocontinually push past capacity - thatis where the gains are and this isnever comfortable.” In order to copewith the intensity of truly effectiveweight training and to be able tocope with really intense cardio,Michelle uses Parrillo PerformanceProducts to heal her battered body.Intense training is shocking to thebody and the best way to recoveris to follow John Parrillo’s timelessadvice, “In the aftermath of abody-shattering workout, flood thebody with healing and regenerativenutrients.”As a long time Parrillo productuser, Michelle particularly favorsCapTri and supplements with itdaily. Medium Chain Triglyceridesare highly combustible and whenCapTri is consumed, it is convertedinto energy and the CapTri caloriesare immediately absorbed. “I loveCapTri and find that when I takeit consistently my energy levelsremain high – a wonderful thingin the final weeks leading up to ashow when I am melting off fat.” Sheis also a huge fan of Pro-Carb . “Ilove to take a Pro-Carb shake aftera workout. The energy surge I getafter drinking a Pro-Carb shake isunmistakable and immediate.” Onelook at the photos accompanyingthis article reveals just howsuccessful and effective Michelle’straining and nutritional approachhave been for her. “I have usedJohn’s supplements for years. Hisproducts are potent and delicious.I love John’s no-nonsense superintense approach towards weighttraining and aerobics.” Michelleadded, “John has been a leader in thefitness and bodybuilding communityfor over thirty years. His methodsare proven to work. I have used theParrillo Performance Press as aninformation source for decades.”Michelle has adapted and adoptedthe Parrillo “three-phase” set intoher own training sessions. “Thewhole idea of combining stretchingwith weight training is ideal forbodybuilding. I will typically pump amuscle maximally, going to positivefailure, usually 10-12 reps. I mightadd some forced reps, or add a dropset or two, I like to go to failure andbeyond. I will follow this maximumpump with an intense Parrillo FasciaStretch. I hold these stretches andtry and improve the duration anddepth of the stretch. Finally, afterpumping and stretching, I willpose the pumped and stretchedmuscle.” Flexing the target muscle,Scott Canatsey“I have really appreciated all the terrific adviceScott has provided on all things related to trainingand nutrition. His knowledge is vast and I find hisenthusiasm motivating and he is extremely helpful."www.parrilloperformance.comSeptember 20165

Be consistent outsidethe gym: eat with real discipline. Beconsistent in all aspects of trainingand be consistent in all the aspectsof nutrition.”“Be consistent. Believe in yourself.

Michelle feels this approachmakes perfect sense. “I also likethose Parrillo high-rep ‘finishing’sets; over time, high-rep sets willbuild mitochondrial density. I makeit a point to squeeze and contractthrough both the eccentric andconcentric phase of every rep.”Michelle has the aerobic aspect ofthe bodybuilding equation downpat: this lady is a natural runnerand has locomotive-like endurance.Outside the gym, Michelle has a fulland busy life. She works a fulltimejob and works as a personal trainer.When asked where she found thetime to fit in fitness, she related,“I wake up super early and trainbefore the rest of the world gets up.”“I make time for training by gettingup very early in the morning. WhenI was raising my son, I had troublegetting everything done. He keptme way too busy. Now he is 20 and6September 2016manages himself. My sister toldme, ‘Get up earlier!’ She was right.So now I train before I go to work.Typically I am at the gym by 5:00am. I try and get all my food prepdone on Sundays. I love to trainand will continue my training andcontinue with my food prep whetherI am getting ready for a show ornot. For me, it is a (bodybuilding)lifestyle. Michelle made it a point tomention Parrillo cover man ScottCanatsey. Scott has been a big helpto her. “I have really appreciated allthe terrific advice Scott has providedon all things related to training andnutrition. His knowledge is vast andI find his enthusiasm motivatingand he is extremely helpful. Scotthas been a wonderful help to mein so many areas.” Michelle feelsshe still has room to improve: sheis tall and weighs 170 pounds inthe off-season. When she leans outto compete, she strides onstage atcrisp 150 pounds. She trains at EliteForce Strength and Fitness in herhometown of Dayton.1-800-344-3404Those locals lucky enough toengage her services as a personaltrainer always make terrific gains;her no-nonsense approach iscommon sense and steeped inlogic and seasoned with decades ofexperience. When asked about whattips she would pass along to femaleslooking to get serious about theirlifting and nutrition, she answered.“I am a big believer in changing theexercises in the weight workouton a regular basis. Switching outexercises keeps training fresh,interesting and challenging.” Toomany women weight trainers usethe same routine for years, withoutchanging anything; they do the sameexercises using the same poundagefor the same number of reps – yetthey expect dramatic change fromdoing these same things over andover. Michelle recommends usinga wide variety of exercises. Keepthe cardio training fresh by mixingmodes, altering duration, frequencyand intensity. Michelle has a finalpiece of training advice. “The abilityto train with great intensity is a realkey to making gains.” You cannothave a lackadaisical attitude intraining when you are handlingMichelle is extremely consistentin her eating. “As I get older I havenoticed that proper nutrition andproper supplementation becomesso much more important. As I age,recovery takes a lot longer.” If youtrain with the intensity neededto trigger gains, the body takes abeating. “I have to monitor howmuch I do in a day. I can train likeI was in my 20’s for one day - butmy body will remind me of myactual age the very next day withintense soreness.” When askedabout advice, she stressed thebasics: establish a solid whole foodnutritional base and augment withpowerful supplements. MentallyMichelle has solid advice. “Beconsistent. Believe in yourself. Youare stronger than you think you are.It is you against you. Have a goal,focus on the goal, be consistent andabove all be patient. Fitness is alifestyle and not a temporary fix.”Michelle will continue to train andcontinue to train others. “I find greatsatisfaction in training others. Itmakes me incredibly happy whenmy clients succeed in reaching theirfitness and physique goals.” Michellehas engineered many a dramatictransformation and seeks to lead byexample. “I am a sincere believer inpracticing what you preach.

muscle gets no respectmuscle meets medicineto demonstrate anti-inflammatoryeffects. Say what?Cellular communication throughsignals such as IL-6 is incrediblycomplex. And I thought thattrying to interpret my wife’sSpanish was tough!MEETSMEDICINEMuscle gets no respectBy Dr. Jeremy GirmannMuscle. It doesn’t get therespect that it deserves.Most people appreciate the factthat in order to successfully lift aheavy box, you’re going to needsome muscle. Most would also admitto the important role that muscleplays in the regulation of energybalance and in avoiding excessive fataccumulation. Beyond that, I findthat some people consider buildingthe biceps to be little more than anexercise in vanity. If you are such aperson, I urge you to take pause andconsider the following myokines into the blood, throughwhich they travel before reachingmore distant target cells. Think ofinsulin, which is released by thepancreas, travels through the blood,and ultimately binds to a varietyof cells including those in muscle.It’s through the endocrine activitythat the exercising of muscle isthought to provide benefit to otherbody systems and confer protectionagainst a host of chronic diseases.Muscle is an endocrine organ.Add it to the list:Pituitary glandThyroid glandPancreasTestesMuscleAnd so on When a muscle contracts, morethan a mere moving of the dumbbellfrom here to there is taking place. Inresponse to the load and with eachcontraction, the muscle secretespeptides known as myokines, whichhave profound physiologic functions.Technically speaking, muscleactually has autocrine, paracrine,and endocrine functions. In the caseof autocrine activity, the myokineshave direct effects on the cells thatsecrete them. Paracrine refers toa binding of these myokines onneighboring cells. Finally, endocrineactivity involves the secretion of8September 20161-800-344-3404Interestingly, one of the firstwell-appreciated myokines wasinterleukin-6 (IL-6). It has longbeen recognized that IL-6 issecreted by immune cells inresponse to infection and tissuetrauma and is involved with themediation of fever and initiationof an inflammatory response.Observed to be exponentiallyincreased during exercise, however,IL-6 from muscle has been shownWhen a muscle contracts, morethan a mere moving of thedumbbell from here to there istaking place.Though we’re wading throughmuddy water at the moment,it appears that while a bout ofexercise creates a transient, localinflammatory response in regionsof the working muscles, many ofthe secreted signals douse theflames of inflammation systemically.Translation please Repeated bouts of exercise havethe potential to keep chronicsystemic inflammation at bay.In addition to its antiinflammatory actions in thesetting of exercise, IL-6 is alsothought to activate AMP-activatedprotein kinase (AMPK), which isan important regulator of geneexpression.Another recently identified myokineis BDNF. Previously mentioned inmy article on cardio (May 2016),BDNF stands for brain-derivedneurotrophic factor. The nameof this molecule should indicatethe relative infancy of this area ofresearch. As it turns out, BDNF isnot only produced and released bythe brain, but also by other tissuesincluding muscle. Apparentlysecreted by muscle during exercise,BDNF has been implicated in theenhanced potential to burn body fat.In addition to IL-6 and BDNF,IL-8, IL-15, myonectin, irisin, andhundreds of other likely myokinesare secreted during muscularcontraction, and are responsible forenhancing organ function and totalbody health.If we want to consider a colorfulanalogy, a muscle can be thought.a muscle can be thought of as a fireworkwith an abundance of myokines explodingin many directions with each contraction.Everyday is a firework display in the gym.of as a firework with an abundanceof myokines exploding in manydirections with each contraction.Every day is a firework display inthe gym!Having made an effort to championthe effects of myokines in thismonth’s article, it’s worth notingthat adipose (fat) tissue is also anendocrine organ, secreting similarmolecules that often demonstrateequal but opposite actions (bloodyNewton ). The peptides releasedby adipose tissue, and particularlyvisceral adipose tissue (fat thatis located around organs in theabdominal cavity), often leadto inflammation and generallydetrimental effects on the health ofother organ systems.Before I end, and while on the topicof muscle getting a little more R-ES-P-E-C-T, I’ve heard time and timeagain that the skin is the largestorgan in the human body. How canthis be? If measured by weight,muscle would surely surpass theskin as the largest organ. If theargument were perhaps made forhaving the largest surface area, thelungs or GI tract would have to winthat award.I think that perhaps my colleaguesin dermatology covet a certainsense of importance in caring for(what they believe to be) the largestorgan Am I wrong here?Questions and topicsuggestions may besent to:dr.girmann@inertiahealthandfitness.comFollow Dr. Girmann on Instagram @JeremyGirmannwww.parrilloperformance.comSeptember 20169

a bodybuilder is bornyou are the company you keepAodyuilderisornBy Ron HarrisEpisode 114: Fitness:you are the company you keepI’ve noticed something thathappened gradually over thelast couple decades - somehow allmy friends are bodybuilders.Obviously this wasn’t alwaysthe case, and it wasn’t anythingintentional. But as the yearswent by and I became morefirmly entrenched in the world ofbodybuilding, I found that otherbodybuilders were the only oneswho ‘got it.’What I mean by that is, to theoutside observer; the lifestyle ofa bodybuilder is pretty much aninsane obsession. Working out andlifting weights is hardly the odditythat it was 30-40 years ago. Over50 million Americans have gymmemberships. But only a very tinypercentage of that number arein any way dedicated to trainingconsistently and putting a consciouseffort into actually training hard,rather than just going through themotions. A big chunk of that groupbelongs to a chain where everythingis purple and yellow and there are‘donut’ and ‘pizza’ days to rewardmembers for walking in slow motionon treadmills as their so-called12September 2016in-laws, and I can’t ask them to dropeverything every two hours so Ican eat. I make do with the variousParrillo bars and shakes for themost part. There was one week afew years ago in Orlando visitingthe various theme parks that wasparticularly frustrating, as the otheradults with me were perfectly happyeating only breakfast and dinner two meals a day. Snacks and alcoholfilled in the gaps, and it showedon their bodies too. I often havetwo meals down by 11 AM! By theend of that week, I never wantedto see another protein bar again.Returning home and being able toeat a quality solid-food meal every2-3 hours again was bliss.workouts. And only a fraction ofthose people who do hit the gymon a regular basis and put out somesemblance of effort make the effortto eat good food every two to threehours, every day. Once you narrowit down to that small group, you canprobably reduce it further to thosewho are actively trying to sculpttheir bodies via specific exercisesrather than just working out withthe vague goal of being ‘fit’ or ‘inshape.’Regular people have a hard timeunderstanding why anyone wouldgo to so much trouble just to tryand improve your physique for anaesthetic, cosmetic effect. It seemsvain and pointless to most (thoughthey have no issues with breast andbutt implants, Botox, and fillers).But even if someone truly doesunderstand what you are trying to dowith your body and why, it’s nearlyimpossible to make them grasp theconcept of our frequent meals.I have been bodybuilding for mostof my life, yet my family still thinksit’s silly that I put so much thoughtinto what I eat. If I show up at anyfunction with my meals in a cooler,they still think it’s ridiculous, andsomeone always makes a snideremark asking if I have a heart ora kidney in there. They don’t thinkabout eating, at least not untilthey’re hungry; and even thenthey’re not very picky about whatthey eat. Whatever is quick andeasy and fills their belly is fine. I’msure many of you deal with this atyour workplace. Co-workers andbosses simply can’t understand whyyou need to eat so often. Even ifyou try to explain that this is a verynecessary part of the whole musclerecovery and growth process, mostof them won’t get it. As far as theyknow, if you work out; you shouldget big. Why would you need to eatso much all the time too?1-800-344-3404It may sound selfish and extreme, but Idon’t really have any friends that I ‘hangout’ with on a regular basis. I live my lifeon my own schedule of writing, eating,training, and spending time with my kids.Then there’s the supplements. Ican’t tell you how many times overthe years I have had to explain whateach of the tablets and capsulesI take with my meals (Parrillo’sEssential Vitamin , MineralElectrolyte , Advanced Lipotropic ,Joint Formula , Bio-C , EveningPrimrose Oil 1000 , and LiverAmino ) is, and what the purposeof each is. For them, it’s a majoreffort and commitment to chew onegummy multivitamin per day.It’s really the eating that makes ittough for bodybuilders to associatewith non-bodybuilders. Severaltimes I have been on vacations withAnd it’s the eating that wouldmake it hard for me to have nonbodybuilder friends, too. Mostpeople just don’t eat more thanthree times a day, and forcing themto adapt to my regimented scheduleof multiple meals would be askingtoo much. I simply can’t go four tosix hours between meals like mostadult Americans do. My system istrained to eat far more often thanthat. Unless I’ve pigged out at abuffet and really stuffed myself,three hours is about my absolutelimit before I experience genuinehunger pangs. Much longer thanthat, and my blood sugar startsdipping very low.It may sound selfish and extreme,but I don’t really have any friendsthat I ‘hang out’ with on a regularbasis. I live my life on my ownschedule of writing, eating, training,and spending time with my kids.Could I make room for friends? I’msure I could, but I’m perfectly happywith things the way they are. I meetup with friends to train very often.I’ll go out to eat after workouts too.But if I’m doing anything else, it’swith my wife and kids. Am I missingout? If so, it sure doesn’t feel like it.Speaking of my wife, I really don’tknow if I could be married toanyone who also didn’t live a similarlifestyle or was at least supportiveof it. Most wives would be horrifiedat a husband who ate six meals aday and certainly wouldn’t wantto cook for such a ‘glutton.’ I couldcook for myself if I really had to;and in recent years I have starteddoing more of it. b
