In Season
Q:
Hello,
My name is Levi and I have recently read several of your articles and thoroughly enjoyed them, especially your “60 rules for a better physique” and your “What to take and when” articles. Anyway, I am 6′ 4″ 236lbs at 20 yrs old and have been sincerely trying to reach a lean 250lbs for quite some time now. I had shoulder surgery in March of 08 and hip surgery in april of 09 (Both college football injuries) which I’m sure has slowed me down considerably. I was wondering with all this supplementing that I am planning to do based on your article, is it possible to gain this lean mass quickly without adding any extra body fat? If it is possible, would it even be worth trying to do during a football season such as now, or should I concentrate on maintenance for now and wait to build on mass after the season?
P.S. It sounds as though your chemo was successful, and I congratulate you on that, must have been a terrible ordeal for such fitness enthusiast such as yourself… And yes, through God, anything is possible =)
Sincerely, Levi

Hi Levi!
Thank you for the kind words! I really do appreciate it. To answer your question, for now I would concentrate on the season and maintain your current state. Right now your body is in the mode of performance and recovery. To build, it will have to be in a more reliable state and given the time to build new muscle and strength.
Email me back when you are ready to try a new supplement regimen and pack on some serious muscle! Also, the article was not intended to be followed to a tee, conversely, it was a guideline for those interested in particular supplements. So, email back and we can develop a program for your needs.
Thanks!
Brad
