TA: I’m a proponent of frequent feeding–I think you should eat every three hours or so during the day for optimum results. This would mean you’d consume five or six meals a day. In terms of supplements, this is an area where I think you can substantially increase the effects of the ABCDE program. It’s also an area that can get quite complex and one that I’ll go into in greater detail on in the future. In fact, I’m presently writing a book about this system, which will spell out every aspect of this program–all my theories on nutrition, training, and supplementation will be revealed. I think I can have this book completed within the next six to eight months–I would be able to finish it sooner, but my research obligations and time in the ER make it difficult to allocate a significant number of hours to this project, even though it is one I’m quite passionate about.
</br>
</br> BP: So whom would you recommend the ABCDE program to?
</br>
</br> TA: This is the type of bodybuilding program I would highly recommend to drug-free weight trainers who are trying to increase muscle mass without gaining fat. On this program, it’s even possible to lose bodyfat while you gain muscle mass, but I would not recommend it for the obese.
</br>
</br> BP: Would this program work for someone who’s using steroids or who has just completed a steroid cycle?
</br>
</br> TA: I’m not sure. I’m concerned that if someone is coming off a steroid cycle, the body’s endocrine system may not function properly and will not respond to the anabolic stimulus of a hypercaloric diet.
</br>
</br> BP: What if someone tried to create his own “super-enhanced” bulking and fat-burning cycles by taking insulin, growth hormone, and fast-acting oral steroids for two weeks while consuming a lot of calories and then went on fat-burning drugs, like Cytomel and clenbuterol, and consumed a low-calorie diet for two weeks. Is it likely he would get phenomenal results?
</br>
</br> TA: Hmm. I’ve never thought about that. It’s obvious you know your readers better than I do and are anticipating this is what some radical bodybuilders might try to do. But actually, it’s an interesting question. Whether we take a number of hormones or we overfeed, we create constantly elevated levels of anabolic hormones in the bloodstream. These two states [exogenous vs. endogenous hormones] may look the same, but they are totally different. You see, in the former case, you add hormones to a body in homeostasis, meaning it will do a number of things to counteract the increased level, including blunt its own production of the hormones, increase the breakdown and excretion, decrease receptor sensitivity and number, increase the amount of binding proteins, and so on. While in the latter case, the body has created a hormonal environment aimed for anabolism and will not counteract itself. This way, the cycle will work very well every time you try it. I actually can’t see any advantages to using drugs during the ABCDE program.
</br>
</br> BP: What if people are already on a high-calorie diet, or what if they’re presently on a low-calorie diet and they want to try your ABCDE program?
</br>
</br> TA: If some of your readers are already consuming an excess number of calories, they should start the ABCDE program with the low-calorie phase to “reprime” their anabolic systems, so to speak. If they are already on a low-calorie diet, let’s say they’re getting ready for a bodybuilding contest or a photo shoot, following this would be an excellent time to start the Anabolic Burst Cycling program with a high-calorie phase. In fact, many bodybuilders will probably recognize that they have “unintentionally” done an anabolic-burst high-calorie dieting phase already–anyone who’s cut up for a contest and then “pigged out” for a few weeks afterwards will confirm he/she gained size and strength at a phenomenal rate, and not all of the weight gained was fat. Ask them–they’ll confirm this! One of the things that’s often discussed in bodybuilding is that those who compete make better gains, year in and year out, than those who don’t because they’re forced to go on calorie cycles, albeit rather traditional, longer ones. My acute, two-week calorie cycles will produce even better results than competitive bodybuilders get from cutting up and bulking up. On this system, you’re literally bulking and cutting every month.
</br>
</br> BP: Are there any down sides to this program?
</br>
</br> TA: Traditionally, high-calorie diets are associated with several undesirable effects, such as increased cholesterol levels and a greater risk of cardiovascular disease, but since the overfeeding phases are only two weeks in length and are followed by a fat-loss phase, I don’t believe there will be any adverse health consequences. I think the ABCDE program is very safe.
</br>
</br> And, the program has numerous advantages over other diets, which make it much easier to follow, henceforth more effective, such as: it offers variation, thus it won’t become tedious to follow; it doesn’t induce a mental state where you can’t function within a social context; it’s based on legitimate scientific findings; the “perfect” ratio of macronutrients in every meal is relatively unimportant; overall, the diet is relatively easy to follow; and the program allows you to make changes within the framework of the diet in regards to your personal ambitions and goals.
</br>
</br> Conclusion As you can see, you really do have access to some powerful anabolic hormones–the good stuff! You really do have a source for real insulin, IGF-1, and testosterone–a source you can use to pack on pounds of new muscle! And, now you know some things about how to tap into that source and how to use your body’s natural biochemistry to build muscle size and strength faster than you might have ever imagined! The ABCDE system just flat out makes sense. It’s backed by a strong scientific theory, and before long, I predict thousands and thousands of bodybuilders will be singing the praises of this system, and we’ll all be smacking ourselves in the forehead and saying, “Damn… why didn’t we think of this sooner… it makes so much sense!” Remember, Muscle Media 2000 was the first magazine–the source–to break this exclusive story, one that I think is probably among the most exciting bodybuilding discoveries ever made! After this interview with Torbjorn, I was “sold.” I’m going to try this program. You may want to try it, too. But, Torbjorn says the ABCDE system will work even better if you know all the details of this program. So, you may want to wait until after you read Part 3 of this story to give it a try.
