Mark, what is your opinion on the ” Golden Age” of bodybuilding in the 50’s with “supposedly” natural greats such as Reg Park and Steve Reeves. Back then they didn’t have the supplements and crazy ph’s like we do now,yet they could build such amazingly symmetrical physiques. I think Arnie was also inspired by the late Steve Reeves. Although research suggests Reeves had a high carb diet, well high for todays standards anyway,It seems contrary to what you suggest in the Man’s diet? Oh yeah, Reeves was apparently a 3 day p.w total body trainer, going to failure on each exercise.
Would be interested to know what you think about this period in bodybuilding particularly as steroids weren’t in use until later it seems say the 60’s-70’s

@abhishek. I would more accurately call that a pre-fatigue set than a superset. Supersets usually refer to working 2 DIFFERENT muscles back to back. Anyway, go for THT 5 😀

@Jared. More specifically, you need body fat percentage reduction, not BMI reduction (though your BMI will definitely decrease). BMI doesn’t take muscle mass weight into account, so I don’t like it.
Firstly, you’ve a good doctor, and secondly, I’d recommend TSPA to you both. I feel it will make a dramatic difference for you. TSPA includes its own THT cycle in it, so you can get started on changing your body composition straight away.

Hey Mark,

I am on the obese side of things and the Dr called with my lab results not 15 minutes after I read you high fat interview and they just told me to eat the same diet you said they would for my cholesterol, I had to keep myself from laughing on the phone. I am almost 33 and 280 uslbs @ 5’10”, I dont have much equipment and live 45 miles from the nearest gym. While I know your TSPA makes you money I was wondering if you could tell me which you would recommend for me (and my wife) to push more of the bmi reduction, THT or TPSA, I am not looking to get to <7% body fat but once I do lose about 100 lbs I want to bulk functional muscle after that as I work on the farm and more often than not I find myself wishing I was a little stronger, but thats a secondary goal, right now I just want to get healthier so I am not winded so easy and can work all day and still have energy for the kids and then the wife. I have been following your site for almost 2 yrs now and have read the THT cover to cover in a few versions but my best friend made a bet with me to get me to finally pull the trigger on getting started, I just want to make sure I am getting started with the right program. Many thanks for your input, and many thanks for all the hours you put into this program, I recommend it to anyone I talk to who mentions working out.

– Jared

You look great Lisa! I started experiencing the same effects (as a man) after stopping all the running I was doing, doing THT weight training, and eating more fat!
