Some great information here Fadi you've taught some important training points a lot better than some of the courses in my undergrad did. In fact applied exercise physiology is pretty much non existent besides the basic training principles.

It's great to actually understand why we train certain ways. Thank you for a well written article Fadi.
it's just a shame that the majority of people who train for size never plan &/or understand basic training concepts.
What's the go with this photo Fadi? Looks weird. You have shadows over your right arm (left side which we look at) and the other side being very hazy looks photoshopped to me
What looks weird? Shadows over my right arm whilst the other arm looks blured? Is that it or are you implying something else? If you are then let's have it.
I'll reserve further comment until I see exactly what you mean. This is going to be very interesting so you'd better give it your best shot Damien.
Fadi.
that's a pretty big accusation
Honestly look at the shadows. I invite Fadi to compete onstage
Here was my reply to you:Have you ever competed Fadi? If so what federation? Can you post a recent picture of yourself.
Damien, the answer to your question is no, I've never competed as a bodybuilder though I did it for 25 1/2 years. It's a choice I made when I came to the sport when I was 18 1/2 years old back in 1984.
Coming from an extremely objective sport into an extremely subjective sport, I was not going to let anyone judge me based on looks, as I've said, it was a decision that I made at a young age and one I remained faithful to.
I did compete as an Olympic weightlifter though at the world championships. The photo I have on here is the only photo I have. Currently (since November of 2009), I've taken up Olympic weightlifting again and lost about 15kg in the process of mainly muscles (on purpose). No need for muscles built through bodybuilding when one's aim is to lift big.
I see that you've competed three times already and have been at it for the past eight years. You must have gained plenty of experience since you were 20. I wish you all the best at taking the Australian IFBB title.
Any more questions for me Damien?
Fadi.
No probs Fadi, good luck with the weightlifting matey, lifting big is something i definitely admire.
Damien, there's something I would like you to know; I can talk bodybuilding based on my long years of experience until the cows come home, but you'll never hear me cutting you off when you're speaking mate, after all it is you and not I who has been on that bodybuilding stage. That is why I said to you from the outset; it's all about sharing of ideas. Now that you're here with us, I must say those ideas have just become that bit more powerful Sir.
I'm here to learn from you as much as you are here to learn from me, this is about each one of us encouraging the other to realise their dream.
All the best Champ.
Fadi.
Do you actually know what Glucogon does Fadi? "Glucagon mobilizes the release of stored body fat from the adipose tissue directly into the bloodstream, allowing your muscles to burn fat instead of glucose for energy."
Glucogen is a good thing for fat loss. Also insulin DOES NOT want to be present in the bloodstream having juice prior to the cardio in the morning is a big BIG NO NO!
Yes.
Fadi.
Fadi, if you know anything about this 'niche' of the previous subject I would be curious to hear it:
I then told you that I was not a powerlifter to which you replied:If you are interested in powerlifting that's something Fadi would address as i know absolutely nothing about that subject.
I assumed from the programs you made up and from your avatar that you were a powerlifter, sorry about the misunderstanding
Now coming back to this photo that seems to be causing you some grief; what if I told you that my daughter had a go at making it more vivid for the internet and in the process stuffed it up a bit with the shadows. Would you beleive me then?
So you have modified the photo? My point exactly and i don't think it's been slightly modifed i think it has been photoshopped if you want to get angry get angry i don't care my, opinion will not change on the issue
