SIXTEEN WEEKS TO BUILD QUALITY LEAN MASS TOGETHER If you are over 20% body fat, or can’t get there by November 15, and don’t already know your way around the gym and a macro plan without someone holding your hand, this post is not for you. For everyone else: I am organizing a very small, tightly run group to start November 15th, and I will be working with each member both as part of the whole and one on one. Our goal is to accumulate as much quality lean mass as possible over 16 weeks, reduce or maintain body fat, improve our work output dramatically, and support our VO2 max along the way. The run goes from November 15th through March 7th. This will be high accountability, to yourself and to the group as a whole, and we will all be doing it together day by day. We are going to do it safely and sanely, though we are going to push some envelopes. The gear and the programming will be specific to each member because there is nothing close to a one size fits all when it comes to this. The one uniting goal is the safe and effective accumulation of exceptional quality lean mass. Ideally you come in under 15% body fat, though I will consider members all the way up to 20%. Your starting body fat sets your ceiling for the entire 16 weeks. Men who start at 14% or below will not go past 14%. Men who start higher will not go past where they started, and nobody in this group will exceed 20% at any point. We do not anticipate much fat gain, but the leaner men have room to add a little on a program like this, and that is the margin they get to work with. For a man starting near 20%, this will look far more like a pure recomposition than a bulk. The prerequisites are not optional. Admission requires proof of preparation: An average of at least 30 miles per week of low intensity steady state walking, which is about 7.5 hours a week at a 15 minute mile, or an equivalent amount of low intensity steady state work. Five days a week in the gym on your current program, consistently and without fail, starting no later than October 15th. You also need a working knowledge of nutrition basics, macro timing, and recovery protocols. Slots will be extremely limited. I have not settled on a final number, but the group will never be bigger than what lets every member have a place to participate. I have been thinking about this for most of the summer and wanted to get the word out early. More next week.
