CONSULT WITH MARKUS REINHARDT
For those that have been reading my blog may have noticed the past couple of weeks, I have discovered Mike Mentzer’s book "High Intensity Training" and was pretty blown away by it. I also had BeffyEMT loan me his video too which was also quite helpful. When I was watching the video, I noticed the guy that Mentzer was training, Markus Reinhardt. I knew that Mike had tragically passed shortly after making the video and I had a lot of questions and gaps to fill in after reading the book and watching the video. So I looked Markus up and found his site and did something crazy - I called the guy. I’m glad I did. He recommended some things and gave some good perspective and additional information on not only Mentzer’s training methods, but some insights into the bodybuilding culture in general that were quite interesting and entertaining. He recommended some changes to my diet that I am working to plug in as well. After talking with him, I sat down with a calculator and tallied my calories, grams of protein and carbs, etc. [never done something like that before] and I am quite amazed that my eye brows have not grown together and my eye sockets spread apart. I was slamming way too much protein and too little carbs. In my journey to date, I have believed carbs and fats to be stuff to stay away from, but I am realizing now that my zeal in cutting them back as far as I have may not have been the best idea. So I am following the advice that Markus passed on and we’ll see where it goes in the weeks ahead.
