The “Test” Test: Day 20
John has to travel this week: he left on Sunday, and won’t be back until Friday night. This means some disruption to his workout and diet. At least TSA didn’t confiscate his IsaTest…he brought it along with him, and has been sending daily bulletins. I’ll let him speak for himself…as he laid out his goals for the trip yesterday: “Big week this week. I’m traveling to out in the sticks, South...
Supplement Ad Claim of the Month: “All Natural”
“All natural” – the phrase casts a soft-focus, warm, rosy glow over everything it’s applied to, doesn’t it? After all, this is “Mother Nature” we’re talking about here! If you can’t trust your mother, who can you trust? This equation of “natural” with “wholesome” contrasts rather sharply with some of the things I learned in graduate school. I vividly...
The “Test” Test: Day 12
John weighed in this morning at 210 pounds – which has been a sort of “glass ceiling” for him over the last year or so.

The “Test” Test: Day 10
So far, we’re rolling right along. John’s been taking the IsaTest as directed each day, and doing a pretty good job keeping tabs on his diet…He’s been consuming approx. 2300 calories/day and averaging 1 g of protein per pound of body weight. His weight is still 212 lbs. (this represents a 2 lbs. loss from Day 0). The workout cycle is repeating, so we’ll be able to assess any progress on the strength...
The “Test” Test: Day 6
So far so good: John’s weight is down a bit…he weighed in this morning at 212 lbs. His libido is definitely UP. Further bulletins as events warrant…
The “Test” Test: Day 3
There’s nothing particularly interesting to report right now: John just started his new workout routine yesterday. The Hybrid routine he’s doing uses a basic lower/upper body split, that alternates between a heavy, core 5 x 5 or 6 x 6 phase, and a hypertrophy phase with higher volume and reps in the 8 – 12 range . The schedule looks like this: Lower body (quads/hams) 5 x 5 Upper body (chest/back) 5 x 5 Cardio...
