Hi Alex,

You could use the program, however it’s likely that you won’t achieve all of your goals. The nutritional strategies will help you recover from your ironman training so that would be a plus. Having extra muscle mass is not necessarily an advantage for an ironman event, strength and power obviously are though. The training sessions are more designed on hypertrophy rather than strength or power.

If you want to add some size as you still feel under muscled then I would suggest taking 8-12 weeks to do regenerate while doing this you would need to scale back your endurance training. You could focus more on technique doing some swimming and or a couple of shorter interval type sessions on a bike or run rather than your typical longer runs and bike rides.

It’s best taken on it’s own 20 minutes before bed.

Don’t consume with mik or milk products

Hi Martyn,

It is all the same program Matt is upgrading and improving the existing Regenerate program. Hope to see you in Oxford.

Gavin

hi mate, sorry for the time it’s taken to come back to you – the best thing would be for you to combine your training with a decent level of nutritional support.

optimal weights are difficult as it’ll depend alot on the individual but I would be looking for approximately;

1.5 x BW for bench
2.5-3.0 x BW for squats
1.5 x BW for cleans
0.5 x BW for chins e.g adding 40-50kg for a sinlge rep on chins

hi mate,

go to http://www.fourweekfatloss.com – there’s no crazy fat burners – just fish oils, green tea extract and a multi vitamin to keep you helath whilst you lose weight.

I’m not a fan of the stimulant based burners.

cheers and good luck.

hi matt

i have been looking around for some new supplemnts, mainly on my-protein.com and im keen on buying; super omega3, creatine monohydrate, zinc and magnezium, true whey, recovery sx, and bedtime extreme. although bedtime extreme looks an effective product for preventing catabolism, i was wondering if you would recomend it, as i am on a tight budget. also could you recommend me a carbohydrate i could take alongside the ‘true whey’ post work-out?

thanks for your time mate,
charlie

hi matt,

in your muscle building programs, do you use periodisation methods, i.e 4 weeks hypotrpohy, 4 weeks strength, then 4 weeks power and ballistic training before the season starts, because i have been using a method which aims to achieve all these aspects in each session, i.e mondays session; box jumps 3×5, power cleans 5×3-5, squats 5×3-5, bench press 5×3-5, then i would do 2 more exercises for chest which range from 4 sets of 8-10, and then 2-3 exersises for triceps and the same for biceps for 3 sets of 8-10. i was just wondering if by doing hypotrophy for 4 weeks +, would this hinder other aspects such as strength and power? thanks matt.

Hi Matt,

Just wondering if the GH stimulating aminos are legal for rugby players to take as I can be tested and don’t want to take anything that I shouldn’t. I’ve watched your clip and read the ingredients however just double checking.

Cheers

Hi Matt

Just purchased the regenerate system, how do i access the phases now mate? cheers

Rob

yes kinetica recovery will do the job perfectly – the wehy they do is very good.

they also do CLA / ZMA / and a decent fat burner. They’ve got a weight gainer – and fish oils.

shortly to release a multi vitamin and some other new products.

hi mate,

what supplements do you already have?

you’ll need a few things for the 1st week;
whey
luecine
digestive enzymes
aminos BCAAs and EAAs

then
creatine
glutamine
glycerol (as long as you are not drug tested)

if you get them from me i’ll do 20% off – and 40% off the kinetica stuff to help you along your way.

Hey Matt I’m buying the Regenerate System tomorrow (friday) will I need to buy all the supplements straight away? I have whey,creatine and BCAAs already. Should I wait a couple of weeks till I can buy all the supplements recomended or will I be fine buying the system tomorrow with the supplements I’ve got?

hi mate,

yes you can cycle back like that and build through the phases again.

Or you can mix and match phases and run say all 3 phases together –

Depends a bit on what you need to do once you’ve done the 1st 12 week block – i.e. lose more fat or put on more muscle.

matt

Hi mate,

basically it’s the nutrition and supplementation which will increase your lean mass – with the righ tkind of weight / cardio

you can do our programme or a more traditional mass building routine – as long as you work very hard – 4-5 times per week for at least an hour per session. you can do a bit more if your routine / job / life allows.

we can help you tailor your routine around the supplements –

hope this helps

Matt

hi Rob,

remember when your mum told you it’s the hours before midnight wihch count – well she was right – going to bed earlier means less stress hormone production the following morning.

also you’ll need 8/9 hours if you want full recovery – you can do less if you dont train, but if oyu are training right you’ll need that much sometimes more.

there may be other factors too mate, but sleep is the corner stone when getting the ‘big three’ right – sleep, train, eat.

if one of these is off progress will be limited.

catch up soon

Matt

Hi mate,

I reckon you can get this together on 4 weights sessions and 2 CV sessions per week.

the regenerate system would suit you best for maximum muscle – but if you just wanted to get ripped you could opt for 4 week fat loss.

You do need to plan ahead and have options for alternative sessions set up as I too have a young family so keeping some kettle bells and also park training sessions on the back burner if you cant make the gym every time.

Good luck!

that’s what it’s designed to do mate.

Hi buddy – the regenerate programme is just that – it help regenerate from whatever activity you choose to follow.

so if you want to be faster train like a sprinter and follow the regenerate principles……

Hi mate – all the supplements are clearly laid out in the programme – i'm sure you'll be satisfied.

Hi Matt
My names Adam and im a student at Leeds Metropliatan University. I am currently unsure on what i would like to go into for my future but im intrested in sports nutrition and gym work. However i have very little experience within any of these areas. I was seeing if by any chance you could give me some information on how to get started and any useful contacts that could help me gain some work experience of voluntary work to improve my skills and my C.V. Anything could be useful so if you could please email me that would be great.
Thankyou for your time.

Hi Matt,

I’m very interested in your lean muscle building program. You list 2 options: Phases 1-3 (£197) and Phases 1-6 (£297). I am a bit unclear about the differences between the two options. What are you getting in the Phases 1-6 program that you are not getting in the phase 1-3 program? If you sign up for phases 1-3 can you then later add on phases 4-6? Can you please explain or detail this out a bit more? Thank you.

hi Matt,

I have lots of time on my hands at the moment, my body fat is about 11% I weigh 198lbs but I want to build a lot more muscle, is it ok to do two weights sessions a day, one mid morning and one in the evening? I understand that over training is bad, but if each session was for 45 minutes is this a good idea or not?

Hi Matt
Yes im wanting to increase lean mass and i am getting 3-4 weights sessions/week.

Ive already got £150 worth of my protein products waiting to be started on so hopefully some of them be in your regenerate program phases 1-3 and i just need to top up with whats missing.

Regards Ben

Hi Matt
Im considering doing the muscle regenerate program phases 1-3, im currently playing rugby would the amount of sessions effect my weekend performance i.e being heavy legged etc, would you advice me to do it in the off/pre season or can i do it in-season?

Regards Ben
