@Al Siebert. Thumbs up!
@Jonathan. Looking at your stats and then seeing you said, “I eat around 180g protein 50g carbs and healthy fat” I think the problem is you are simply not eating enough. Use my calorie calculator to see how many calories you need every day https://musclehack.com/calories-to-build-muscle-calculator/ Also, if you’re doing a low carb diet, you’ll need some carb-ups in there. If you’re not carbing up every week, that’s going to be causing a problem too. See my MANS diet https://musclehack.com/best-bodybuilding-diet-plan-revealed/
Last, if you are doing THT 6-8 reps and switching to 8-12 reps every 10 weeks, then that’s fine. If not, remember 8-12 reps is the most hypertrophic range, make sure you are including that THT cycle as well.

@Younes. I only recommend BCAA’s when people are going to be unfed for a period and won’t even be taking protein. Anything over 12 hrs and BCAA’s come in handy. Apart from that you get all the amino acids from protein. I see no advantage in taking BCAA’s in addition to protein if you are getting your daily protein requirement every day. Wow I just said ‘protein’ a whole lot there. Protein.

@Tony. You’re exactly right, buddy. People are limiting themselves with their own minds and don’t even know it. If they would just do a program as stated (like THT) they’d discover they progress just fine.

Great work Lisandra. Your dedication really paid off.
[I hear guys in their late 20′s sometimes complain that it’s too late for them to get the body they want! “I don’t have the energy any more” “My metabolism is slower now”. All types of rubbish excuses]
When I was searching the net for a workout program for an older guy (before I discovered Musclehack) I came across a lot of articles mentioning the same thing & how these older guys need to modify their training for their ageing bodies. The funny thing was most of them were only in their 30’s. I’m 54 & my body’s coping just fine with THT. Too many whiners out there that need to just put in the hard work & stop making pathetic excuses.

Hey All!! (incl. Mark)
I’ve been reading and following all of these posts and articles for quite some time. Some awesome information and results from all kinds of people. Its really encouraging to to see the transformations that are taking place and to know, that being fit and building a good body is actually possible, and not just something you see in the magazine or by famous ppl that have unlimited amounts of $ to get the body they need.
Currently I’ve been training the THT Volume 6-8. mainly because its easier for me to have a 5 day schedule, taking creatine (ON) and protein (ON) and not skipping certain days. So here is my question… I’m 6’3 ,187 lbs body fat is around 16.5%. I have a real hard time gaining muscle. I work out every day (5 days/week) And I’m noticing stronger muscles but not actually bigger muscles? I eat around 180g protein 50g carbs and healthy fat. Do I need to up my carb intake in order to see bigger Muscles? Or do I just continue on track with what I’m doing, assuming that bigger muscles will kick in? I’ve been working out for about 3 Months now… 🙂

Awesome job Lisandra! I almost guarantee the ones that say you looked better before (male or female) have never seen their own Abs. You have pure dedication. You will have no problem maintaining those sexy abs.

hi Mark, i am a fan of yours from Morocco and i was wondering what you think about BCAAs; because i have this BCAAs tablets with a 6 grams BCAAs per serving (4:1:1 ratio), and since i am on a low carb diet i was thinking that they may be useful, and i would really like to know what you think the best time(s) to take BCAAs and how many grams should be taken in terms of workouts ( cardio and weightlifting) knowing that i drink a 25 grams protein from whey isolate before and after weightlifting and another one after cardio.
i know this irrelevant to this post but i need to know your opinion about this, sorry and thanks.

@Barney. lol. Too true.

I personally think she looks fantastic in the after pics. And Lisandra is clearly someone who always wants to push herself and overcome new challenges. A big well done to her!

I agree. As a guy, a 6pk is nice. As a women however, I prefer her previous pictures. A 6pk on a woman isn’t diserable or sexy. Sorry but it’s true.
Good job though

Pesonaly I think she looked better before the six pack. Maybe it’s my age I’m 53 and think women should look like women and not look muscly like a fella. Good luck to her if that’s her thing but I think most guy’s would prefer the before picture. Just my personal opinion.

You think the excuses you listed irritate. The worst one I hear is, “I get my exercise doing housework,” or “gardening,” followed by “I’ll try to cut down on eating at McDonald’s and switch to Diet Coke,” with that gallon of ice cream.

Well done Lisandra. I’m a 25 yr old male, so this gives me great inspiration!
