The Slingshot Training System

[BigBrucie]

the picture given above is USELESS as there are many other variables that could have resulted in the current physique.
your article contained TO much repetition and is what i call "quantity over quality" not that it had no good points because it did have some very good points but terribly written .
and what seems to me is u have combined a vary of training and diet regiments and labeled it "slingshot" LOL
(i am not bashing just putting forward my view)

LOL...I do personal training for a living. This is only a rough draft of Slingshot Training. I can tell you right now I am not a fluent writer. In fact, most people who publish books are not professional writers but mere technical writers!

Yes, some parts are repetitive but I did take the time out to write all this in order to help others. I can tell you just about anything you want to know about weight training and diet. Slingshot Training was developed through years of trial and error in various gyms. I used friends, clients and self to find what worked best. A lot of research has also been involved.. I hope you will give Slingshot Training a try for yourself and see if it's real or hype! Then you can give an honest assestment of the program.

take care,

Ronnie

whenever i have read about priming it involved a low carb/keto diet for 4-8 weeks. Also, most bodybuilders use keto diets to cut til a show and then are primed to grow after. So, how come the sling shot prime involves a 2 week high carb/low protein diet and not a longer low carb/high protein diet? thanks for the time and responses!

1) After a show is indeed a great time to grow but the body can't take that kind of abuse often or on a long term basis. During the off-season the majority of your efforts should be spent training with heavy weights and eating ample amounts of calories! This includes enough carbs to fuel intense workouts. It would be a complete waste of time doing an 8 week prime during the off-season when you could be doing a 12 week blast to put on more mass/strength!

2) A high protein and fat diet like the one used with Slingshot Training for bodybuilders has been associate with causing insulin resistance. This is a big problem amongst off-season bodybuilders! Over the lengthy off-season, the consumption of any carbs that accompany protein or fats will spike insulin levels which will result in poor control of blood glucose levels. Once the body becomes insulin resistant it cannot efficiently use amino acid from food to build muscle. Also, taking in a lower amount of protein for 2 weeks during a prime gives the organs a break from having to filter all the protein and when protein is added back into the equation with better insulin sensitivity more amino acids are accpeted by the muscle. The end result-more growth!

I am being slammed with pm's. I will answer them in the order they are received. I will try my best to get through them by Sunday.

thank you,
