Higher Than Steroids – An Sincere Assessment

Within the e-book, Higher Than Steroids, Dr. Warren Willey proposes {that a} NATURAL coach can really get outcomes superior to a steroid consumer IF the pure coach follows a correct coaching and diet program.

On this article I am going to let you already know if the physician delivers or if this e-book fails to dwell as much as the hype.

Dr. Wiley contents that a part of the explanation steroid customers get such nice outcomes is since you are inclined to eat higher and prepare more durable when you’re taking steroids. On web page 21 he claims…

“I’m going to show you the right way to mimic anabolic steroids utilizing weight loss plan and train!”

Subsequent, he mentions a hit story from one in all this purchasers. No names are given, and no earlier than and after photos are introduced. The shopper is just listed as “L.D.”

In simply 12 weeks, L.D. went from 182 kilos at 16.1% physique fats to 177 kilos at 5.5% physique fats. Which suggests L.D. not solely misplaced 19.56 kilos of fats, he additionally gained 14.57 kilos of muscle AT THE SAME TIME!

Here is the kicker: Dr. Wiley says LD was 60 years outdated on the time of this research and that he is had different purchasers who’ve gained 30 kilos of lean muscle WHILE dropping 60 kilos of fats by following the identical rules.

Now at this level, I am odor one thing humorous. Smells like Bull Sh*t.

However let’s proceed. Doc goes on to speak in regards to the significance of water and that meals can really be used as a drug. I favored this a part of the e-book as a result of all too usually we overlook simply how highly effective meals will be. Meals can be utilized to spike or depress insulin – similar to a drug. And by timing your meals consumption (consuming excessive carbohydrate meals across the time of your exercise and lowering carbs throughout the remainder of the day) you possibly can make the most of the drug-like qualities of meals. Great things right here.

Then Willey talks about the right way to calculate your really useful each day calorie consumption and even gives 4 totally different consuming plans. The consuming plans are as follows:

Isocaloric: Splitting your each day caloric consumption evenly amongst fat, carbs and protein.

Keto Run: Consuming ultra-low carbs for 7-14 days at a time.

The modified Carb Drop: Doing a Keto run after which following it up with a carb load.

The Zig Zag: Consuming excessive energy sooner or later, then low energy the subsequent day.

General, nothing groundbreaking right here. The truth is, I noticed many similarities between these suggestions and Dan Duchaine’s suggestions in his e-book Underground BodyOpus. Each discuss utilizing an isocaloric strategy at first, then a brilliant low carb weight loss plan when weight reduction stalls after which including weekend carb ups to assist you to achieve muscle whereas stripping off fats.

The following few chapters cowl pre and put up exercise meals.

Then we get to Chapter 12: Glycogen Supercompensation.

For me, that is the place the e-book falls aside.

Willey opens with the next case research detailing the experiences of “C.V.” (Once more, no full identify or photographs proven.)

C.V. began out 200 kilos and eight.9% physique fats. He then did 10 days of tremendous low carb weight-reduction plan adopted by 48 hours of excessive carb consuming.

He ended up at 212 kilos and eight.0% physique fats. On the floor, this appears to be like spectacular. And Dr. Warren Willey exclaims…

“There are not any typos within the above chart! CV gained 12.8 kilos of muscle in a 48-hour load and truly misplaced some physique fats!”

However that is simply flat out incorrect. He did not achieve 12.8 kilos of muscle. He is simply holding water. As a result of that is what occurs whenever you lower carbs drastically low after which flood your system with a excessive dose of carbohydrates – your physique finally ends up holding additional water.

And that is fantastic – usually occasions it is a good factor. However you possibly can’t confuse holding additional water with constructing muscle. Willey is a medical physician – he ought to perceive the distinction between muscle and bloat.

However apparently he would not as a result of he goes on to listing much more examples of profitable purchasers. In every case, it is clear what occurs – the shopper finally ends up holding extra water for a pair days and Willey chalks it up as “muscle achieve”.

But it surely’s not. You do not achieve 12 kilos of muscle in two days. Nobody does. Not even steroid customers.

From there, the remainder of the e-book offers some bodybuilding routines that sound like one thing out of a Joe Weider magazine – Big units, tremendous units, 21’s, pre-exhaust coaching, and so forth.

Oddly sufficient, this model of bodybuilding coaching normally works higher for steroid customers than it does for pure trainers.

General – the e-book fails to ship on it is fundamental promise: Willey proves you possibly can maintain additional water for a couple of days by carb-loading, however fails to show that his methods will help you achieve muscle and definitely fails to show that these methods can yield higher outcomes than steroids.

So I might save your cash and skip this e-book. If you would like extra data on carb loading and glycogen tremendous compensation, monitor down a duplicate of Dan Duchaine’s Underground Bodyopus. The e-book is now 15 years outdated however Duchaine does a greater job of mapping out the rules behind glycogen tremendous compensation.
