How to train for muscle growth and hypertrophy
Posted by: | Comments
Hi Guys
I’ve had a couple of questions recently about training programs within my Regenerate Nutrition muscle building program.
One of the reasons I put together Regenerate was so that I had a way that the clients that I consult with, be they elite athletes or people who just want to add some extra lean muscle and get fit had a program to follow in terms of their nutrition.
In the first version of Regenerate, the training programs were a bit sketchy, the nutrition was bang on but the training programs were a bit lacking in comparison.
One of the main changes I’ve made with Regenerate 2.0 is to seperate people into 3 main types based on their starting body type and goals. Some one who is what might be called a ‘hard gainer’, a tall, naturally thin and lean type person needs to train differently to put on muscle than does a short squat rugby prop forward type.
I’ve come up with 3 main body types and worked with an excellent Strength and Conditioning Coach Alex Poole to put the programs together. So for example if you are a hard gainer there are 16-20 different 1 hour long workouts, seperated into the 4 different 2 week nutritional phases. These dove tail with the nutritional approach used in the corresponding phase, so for example if the nutritional phase is focusing on boosting Growth Hormone then the training compliments that to gain a synergistic effect.
Gavin Allinson has put together above video giving you a sneak preview of what it all looks like.

Results with Regenerate
Posted by: | CommentsAfter the Body Power Expo I’ve had couple of e-mail exchanges with experienced Body Builders who have questioned the results that I claim my clients who follow the Regenerate System have got. It made me think it probably does sound too good to be true in some cases!
I’ve never been someone to BS about results – so I was concerned about this being the case with the system.
I didn’t want to misrepresent the system or what it does. So I wanted to share a few case studies and a bit more background on the system.
With Body Builders I’m sure you are aware that there are those that are chemically enhanced (use steroids), these guys and girls have already gone beyond their ‘genetic potential’ and in that case are not going to benefit as much from using a system like Regenerate that is based on natural methods. They might gain 1-3kg in the 3 months as they are already doing very high protein and excellent training to support larger muscle gains.
Even these guys will pick up some tips on the programme on other areas like immune function / healing or adrenal fatigue – all elements you learn about during the regenerate system. It is geared towards maximum recovery and regeneration as well as up skilling people on health and performance related nutrition.
Here are a few case studies
Case Studies
Elite Rugby Player
12 week Period added 6Kg Lean Mass and Dropped 4Kg of Fat Mass. This player weighed 125Kg at the end of the period so it is a big gain in total weight but a smaller gain in % terms as he’s a larger framed person in the first place.
17 Year Old Goalkeeper
Started at 75Kg, very inexperienced weight trainer and during the middle of the football season, so he was playing games and doing lots of specific football training. So not training and eating and sleeping like a body builder might. In 8 weeks he gained 1.5kg total, but dropped 5% body fat on the programme – so gained approximately 5.6kg lean mass in 8 weeks.
Elite Rugby Player Recovering from serious Back injury
Previous playing weight before injury was 90 Kg. After his injury and before he started Regenerate he had dropped down to 85Kg. After 14 weeks on regenerate he resumed rugby training at 94.8 KG
In this case you could argue that the first 5Kg where the result of ‘muscle memory’. The theory being that it is easier for your muscles to return to a size that they had been once before that may or may not be the case. What I think is valuable now is that he is now 4.8Kg heavier than he was before his injury. His total gain was 9.8Kg.
Cost of the Regenerate System
People also question the cost of the Regenerate program. Sure it is expensive, this is the result of over 10 years experience.
Many people spend a lot of money on supplements and magazines but still don’t really have a clue about what they are doing and can end up wasting years not getting the resullts and throwing their money down the pan because they have not been eating right, training correctly or using the right supplements.
I primarily developed Regenerate to help save me time when consulting with the athletes that I work with personally. A lot of these athletes like to know the science behind what they are doing and by laying the system out for them, I’ve made it easy for them to follow. I physically don’t have the time to sit down and explain it to every client I work with. Clients are able to ask questions and either myself or one of my sports nutritionist’s who is familiar with the program will answer it.
As the system improves clients also receive upgrades and developments at no additional cost.
