I am using this to track my progress and for motivational reasons as you can keep me on track...
A friend of mine has recently completed his Level 2 Biosignature and PICP and as he is now opening his own PT Studio has asked me to be his ''test subject''.
A little on Biosignature:
The Biosignature Hormonal Assessment was developed by world-renowned researcher and strength coach, Charles Poliquin. It is based off of the premise that where the body stores body fat is a reflection of its hormonal profile. Put simply, where you store your fat determines what hormones are imbalanced.
The 12 sites:
Chin and Cheek: The first sites to go down during a diet. These sites aren't linked to any particular hormone imbalance but act as indicator sites as to whether or not the plan is working or not.
Pectoral and Triceps: The androgen sites. High pec readings in men in relation to the triceps can reflect an androgen imbalance which makes it far more difficult to add lean muscle mass.
Suprailliac and Subscapular: The insulin sites. These sites are related to blood sugar management. High readings here vs. the triceps may reflect poor insulin sensitivity and carb intolerance.
Mid-axillary: This site is correlated to thyroid hormone levels.
Umbilical: The infamous cortisol site. It can be high despite low overall body fat. If this site is imbalanced then steady state cardio would create a further imbalance and cause the client to store fat rather than burn it.
Knee and Medial Calf: These skinfolds are related to growth hormone and act as an indicator in the quality and quantity of sleep a client experiences.
Quadriceps and Hamstring: High levels here vs. the triceps are correlated to high estrogen levels. This site usually comes up in females. Lactate threshold training works best here.
.................................................. .................................................. .
I have had the 12 sites measured and the areas I hold most fat is Umbilical, Sub-scapula and Mid-axillary.
The Diet:
Meal One: A high quality protein source and good source of fats...
Every meal afterwards is to include high quality protein, good source of fats and a lot of fibrous carbs.
Each meal should include a different protein source.
Nuts should be consumed at 3-4 meals.
2 fish oil caps should be consumed at each meal.
Gold Standard Whey will be consumed immediately PWO.
Water should be drank throughout the diet.
* For the first 10 days no complex or simple carbs should consumed. After this a moderate complex carb day will happeb every 5 days begining on day 11.
After 28 days I will have my sites taken again and may be able to include complex carbs in one or two meals depending on results.
Calories are still quite high and are roughly -500 of my TDEE.
The Workout:
This is a 2 day split done twice a week. Medium Volume but of high intensity ans short rest periods (45seconds).
I would really like to get your input on this guys. I will read thorough again and include anything I may have forgotten.
