Q&A with Chris "The Technician" Aceto, master guru

[Chris Aceto]

do you still prefer HIIT cardio before first morning meal?

Also bcaas before cardio session in the morning too you reckon?

I have 6 weeks to go, Ive followed your advice and its working, very low fats, high protein and moderate-highish carbs

also do you sell your supplements in the UK? I cant seem to ever order them

I like High intenity cardio. If your gonna do it, do it!
Also yes BCAA before cardio/and after

You can get procard supps at Harrods Just kidding ...only get them on bb.com and my site

Chris, I'm competing in a show in July and starting my prep now. 18 pounds to lose. My off season I was at 245gr prot, 270c and 60f. Cardio was practically zip. I’m planning to start at 225p-215c (20% drop on carbs) - 40f with 3 or 4 days cardio. I'm also thinking of adding 1 high carb day per week. I'm using ECDY N7, KreOxipump and GI Accelerator. How’s the initial plan look to you?

Its a sound start. If you have read my stuff you know a diet is like navigating a boat. You have to start your trip and get off the dock and head in the right direction. Thats what you have done. Now you just have to be alert for bad weather, Sometimes its easy, you can cruise to a show, some times you have to make constant adjustments

So as long as i stick with nordrenalean, eca, clen or equivalents, i don't need refeeds or i need less refeeds or refeeds always beneficial anyway?

Thanks Chris.

Refeeds..are good if you are leaning down. people BS themselves whoa re not making any visible progress and say " I need a refeed" they dont. just need them is you are comming down in body fat at a visible and solid clip

Bulking is pure stupidity. Period. Who did it successfully? I mean most people get fat as hell and they have to reverse gears and try to get off all the fat they thought was makig them bigger.

So your answer is purely find the amount of cals to make you grow whilst keeping the fat gain at bay. Keep cardio in .

hard training with AAS , and sound diet and cardio. NO NEED TO OVER LOAD.



Do you have any new products up and coming ?

But sometimes it's really hard to see the progress even if you are trimming down. I mean glycogen levels, when they go down, you look flat and it makes you look softer and fat. On this point, that's hard to see the progress without doing refeeds and filling the muscle glycogen stores. Whats the real deal to see the progress? to make a right decision for refeeds?

Hi Chris,

i have been following a diet of around 2500 calories a day 320P/140C/60F which has been going well but i am now always hungry.
i am 32 and weigh 235 pounds and i think i should bump up the calories but do i increase the healthy fats or carbs?
my goal is to continue to train hard and stay lean, doing some hit cardio 3 days a week.

cheers

Yeah sorry for asking, its just not many trainers especially for ifbb pro bodybuilders prefer HIIT cardio and fasted too, when I send your link to people they are shocked as they think fat burning zone to burn fat. Since using HIIT cardio a litle bit my fat loss has been quicker recently since im already getting lean for a comp

You and George Farah follow the same methods pretty much Ive noticed, did you teach him lol

No new products on tap.... yes you just need enough calories to train like you feel like you are the man. Really. I mean, the never ending question I ask people is "Hows training going" And I could care less about the details. I just need to here "Awesome" That ensures they are eating enough be it dieting or bulking ("bulking") and thats enough for me.

George copys ebverything I do and hes an idiot . Seriously, I am kidding I know him a little bit and like to break his u know what. Hes easy to make laugh. Cardio most Pro BB do it too easy. Thats my opinion. In fact, they tempo at which they do it amazes me sometimes which typically means they are on too much thyroid to have left over energy from their training do their cardio hard enough. My 20 cents

[Chris Aceto]

also do you know ting fats are needded in a diet when cutting for a comp? I ordered your championship bodybuilding guide so I guess that will tell me when I receive it

CLA is good so are fish oils other then that I follow a low low fat diet

I hear what your saying its really experimenting on what works for you . If im staying lean and growing will keep at it adjust as how you feel...



Im halfway there.

Thanks ...

Chris I've seen random questions through the thread about cycling KreOxi, I've been using since it came out, and it still has the same effect on me now as then.

GREAT stuff....
