Becker Built Off Season Bodybuilding Diet

Injury Update:
At almost 8 weeks post-injury, I would estimate that I am functioning around 70%. Training is going pretty well and I’m getting into the gym at least 4 days a week. At this point, I am just finding it hard to hit upper body movements on consecutive days. I won’t start [...]
“Abs are made in the kitchen.”

Hey everyone! Well, it looks like Christmas is right around the corner now that the ground is covered in leaves and the weather is getting cooler. One thing I will miss the most about the warmer weather is taking my training outside. As I have mentioned before, I am a huge fan [...]
Can I just use Phormula-1 and not Ignition post-workout and get proper recovery?
by Chairman & CEO, Andrew Frisella on Nov 06, 2009, under Customer Q & A
Sure, you can. You can do whatever you want, this is America! You can brush your teeth with motor oil. You can fix a hole in your roof with duct tape. You could even mow your yard with your finger nail clippers. However, these activities wouldn’t make much sense and neither would using Phormula-1 without [...]
I am on a pretty strict budget. Can I just use Ignition to replenish my glycogen stores and get the same results as if I would take it with a Phormula-1?

This is a very common question, believe it or not, people always ask which one they should take and the answer is…unequivocally, undeniably, no question about it…BOTH! I always tell people the same thing: It’s like going to buy a brand new car and the salesman asks you if you need tires or a steering [...]
I have been using Level-1 and I love it! Can I use it with Ignition post-workout instead of Phormula-1 and get same results?
by Chairman & CEO, Andrew Frisella on Nov 04, 2009, under Customer Q & A
A premium quality Low Temperature Processed protein blend such as Level-1 is designed to keep you anabolic by keeping blood amino levels high for sustained periods of time throughout the day. This means Level-1 will take several hours to digest completely. The insulin spike form Ignition happens almost instantly and peaks after just 30 minutes. [...]
I’m trying to lose weight. If I use Ignition, is it going to make me fatter?
by Chairman & CEO, Andrew Frisella on Nov 03, 2009, under Customer Q & A
Ignition will not and cannot make you fat if used correctly. In fact, if used correctly post-weight training (Ignition should not be used post-cardio for someone trying to lose body fat) it will actually cause you to burn fat faster. Contrary to what you might have read about carbs being the devil, it’s just not [...]
I was told by a guy at the gym that I can use white bread post workout because it’s cheaper and get the same result as I would with Ignition/Phormula-1.

Let me take a wild guess and try to describe the character who is giving you this information; It’s the over the hill guy at your gym who “used” to compete on the “semi-pro” circuit back when bodybuilding was “pure”. He probably wears a stringer tank and parachute pants, with a fanny pack. He dead [...]
