Dear Ian,

I would first like to thank you for writing such an excellent book. With Get Buffed I have acquired the knowledge and skills to take my training to the next level, and to gain an impressive 15lbs in 12 weeks in the process.

Conference Call

We have a special offer for you - available exclusively to Get Buffed!™ newsletter readers and product owners!  Join us for a one hour telephone conference - free!  For 60 minutes you will be able to listen in as Ian answers your questions and the questions of others participating in the call.

During this call we will also be addressing questions relating to the upcoming seminar tour - click here for more info regarding the seminar tour.  

How much will participation cost? The only cost you will need to cover is the cost of the call from your phone to the USA conference calling facility, so at worst an interstate call.  That's all.  The rest we will take care off.  In essence, we aim to reward our members with this free hour with Ian!

If you have specific questions, say about the seminars during the April North American tour, this provides an excellent opportunity to ask these.

So what do you have to do to participate?  Simply email us (place the word GB Phone Conference in the subject field) and give us your name and one question you would like answered.   We will send you the phone number and access code to join in on this call.  Keep this in mind - we are only going to be able to handle x number of questions in the hour. We don't know how many x is, but what we will do is answer the questions in the order we receive them, and get through as many as we can in the hour.  

Talk to you then!

The call is scheduled for :

Help me loose the rest of the weight!

I'm doing 30 minutes cardio Monday, Wednesday and Friday after weights and 1 hour Tuesday and Thursday , is there anything else you would recommend to help me loose the rest of the weight I want to lose? I eat good food so can you help me please.

Thanks again,

Kyle

Kyle - before I assume you eat right, I would strongly suggest you seek the services of a competent nutritionist to confirm this!  Now without opening the Pandora's box of the emotional issues relating to body fat, which I would do only in person, the additional suggestion is you consider a metabolizer enhancer.  The one I would recommend is the LEAN Formula with Advantra Z. You can order this product by clicking here and looking for the shop icon.

In addition to that, consider avoiding high glycemic foods later in the day, avoid eating 2-4 hrs before going to bed, keep all meal portions very small, and if you are very keen, do shorter fat burning exercises but more frequently doing the day e.g.. 2x20 minutes vs. 1x40minutes.  Just a few ideas.

Life after the Get Buffed!™ program - should I start over or develop a new?

Dear Ian,

After completing the 12-week Get Buffed!™ workout contained in the book (and liking it very, very much!), should I start over or develop a new but perhaps somewhat different workout incorporating the same principles? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Normstar

Normstar - great to hear you enjoyed the Get Buffed!™ program!  Assuming you are referring to the GB 1 program, i.e. the one in the book - there is a second generation GB program available on T-mag!  That is at www.t-mag.com - it is a 12 wk program posted during 2001 - upper body and lower body programs provided.  I had intended to put in a 12 wk ab program but the editor felt the fans had had enough of my 12 wk programs for one year!  I will put a 12 wk ab program in GB 2 - THE BOOK!

Currently deployed in the Arabian/ Persian Gulf enforcing UN sanctions on Iraq

Hello Ian,

My name is Brett Shead and l am a Leading Seaman in the Royal Australian Navy currently serving on the HMAS Adelaide deployed in the Arabian/ Persian Gulf enforcing UN sanctions on Iraq. I am writing to you as l am an avid reader of 'Mens Health' magazine, however due to our rapid departure to this area and my subscription to MH taking its time, l have missed out on ' Part One' of your 'Get back in Shape' program. Is there a way that you can forward the bulk of that part to me to me either via e-mail or by post at the below address. I am a regular user of the limited gym that we have on board, so if it is purely a conditioning phase, do you feel that it is necessary for your program noting that l have been lifting for about 5 weeks now?? Also, during the days that I'm not lifting, l undertake between 20-30 minutes of cardio exercising either on a bike or stepper machine, maintaining my heart rate at 75-80%, is there a more effective way and should l do it more than 3 times a week??

I am keen to begin your program, l am however, unsure what part one contains and where to start, so your advice would be great.  Thank you very much for your time.

Cheers, Brett.

Brett - the send the programs to MH, and they have been adding the pictures and tidying the whole thing up. I can send you an email with the program as an attachment but don't expect text and pictures!

Your question about conditioning is pretty vague - doesn't really state what you are pursing, so I will assume general fitness. In which case what you are doing is adequate.

How To Pick the Weight

In your Men's Health magazine workout for December Strong Stuff. Your workout set 5 for the bench press says to do between 10-15 reps. What weight would you do? Do you drop the weight again? I am looking at starting the programmed but am unsure what weight to do for the work Set 5. Also work set 1 of the workout should this be a certain weight of your maximum lift. e.g. my max lift is 105kg. (1 rep) so to gain strength what should my work set 1 be and so on.

Your reply to these questions would be appreciated.

cheers

Shaun

Shaun - as I would rarely use 5 work sets of the same exercise, and definitely not in a mainstream general program like the one in MH mag - I believe set 5 would be after the required warm up sets.  Short of sorting though and determining which country you are referring to (this series was printed by different country's MH mags around the world in different months) I can only guess that there were 2-3 warm up sets leading up to the worksets, and all of these sets have been given a sequential number.

Selection of warm up and work set load is discussed at length in my books 'Get Buffed!'™ and 'How To Write Strength Training Programs'.  Should you not find it in yourself to invest in these books, I recall having discussed this somewhere in my writing for www.t-mag.com, which are free to you.  You would have to browse my articles in there to locate it. It is definitely discussed in the programs that have been published there.
