WRITTEN IN STONE: MY TEN COMMANDMENTS OF NUTRITION
JOHN PARRILLO’S PERFORMANCE PRESS
states may occur when the metabolic
rate is high.
Per pill, Parrillo Mineral Electrolyte
contains 250 mg of calcium; 5
mg of iron; 250 mg of phosphorus;
75 mcg of iodine in the form of kelp;
250 mg of magnesium; 11 mg of
zinc; 50 mcg of selenium; 500 mcg
of copper; 10 mg of manganese; 25
mcg of chromium picolinate; 45 mg
of potassium; 500 mcg of boron;
along with other nutrients. I recommend
that you take one tablet with
each meal during the day for improved
metabolism and well-being.
• Creatine Monohydrate: Typically,
hard-training bodybuilders
can expect an increase of 4 to 14
pounds of lean mass during the
first month of use. The more muscle
mass you have, the more creatine
you can assimilate leading
to greater weight gains. I’ve seen
athletes experience a 5 to 15 percent
increase in strength on their
maximum lifts and an increase
of about 2 reps per set with their
working weight during the first
month. This increase in intensity
allows you to put a greater load
on the muscle, which will indeed
increase your gains in muscle
mass over time.
The way to use creatine is to start
with a loading phase, which usually
is 20 grams a day for five to seven
days. To do this, take five grams
(one teaspoon) four times a day, for
five to seven days. This is followed
by the maintenance phase, which is
five to ten grams a day. After only
one month, you should see a noticeable
increase in size and strength.
Parrillo Creatine Monohydrate is
the highest purity creatine supplement
available. And a word of caution:
don’t be fooled into buying
creatine phosphate supplements;
this form of creatine phosphate is
not absorbed from the intestines.
• Protein Powders: Our protein
supplements give you a variety of
protein types, from whey to casein.
Our suggested usage is one
or more servings (2 scoops mixed
with 8 ounces or ¼ liter of water or
beverage) taken as needed with or
between meals, and taken before,
during, and after workouts.
• CapTri ® : A great way to enhance
endurance and muscle-building is to
put a tablespoon or two of CapTri ®
in your whey protein powder shake,

on your oatmeal or in your
coffee, try our Milk Flavor
All-Protein or our 50/50 Plus
Milk Flavor Protein Powder
along with some creatine. You can
also add CapTri ® to your meals; try
drizzling some Butter Flavor Cap-
Tri ® onto your veggies.
• Fish Oil: Fish oil contains omega-
3 fatty acids, which are essential
fats that your body needs to function
properly but does not make. Humans
must eat them through food,
which means eating seafood, such
as salmon, tuna, sardines, mackerel
or shellfish. Among the most potent
omega-3s fatty acids are eicosapentaenoic
acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic
acid (DHA).
Each 3 capsules of Parrillo Fish Oil
DHA 800 EPA 200 contains 1100
milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids;
this includes 800 milligrams of
DHA and 200 milligrams of EPA. I
suggest supplementing with 1 capsule
daily, taken with meals.
No. 9: You shall avoid dairy
foods.
Dairy foods like milk and cheese
contain lactose, a sugar, and lots
of fat, both of which can hurt your
physique development. Sure, dairy
foods are high in calcium, but you
can also get calcium from many
green vegetables such as broccoli
and kale. If you miss the
taste of milk on your oatmeal, try
our Milk Flavor All-Protein or
our 50/50 Plus Milk Flavor Protein
Powder . It is a post-workout
“smart bomb” that provides a
perfect blend of high BV protein
and slow release carbohydrates
- exactly what your body craves
after the slaughterhouse of high
intensity training. The result is a
fabulous tasting drink in powder
form that when mixed with water
provides 20 grams of protein,
17 grams of carbs, and no fat or
sugars per serving. Milk-flavored
50/50 Plus powder allows you
to recreate a perfect milk substitute
with as much calcium but without
the lactose or sugar of real milk.
No. 10: You Shall Drink Plenty of
Water.
Drink at least eight to 10 glasses (12
ounces each) of water a day. Water
helps flush excess sodium and impurities
from your system to better
regulate your metabolism. Avoid
sodas at all costs, and even watch
diet sodas, which have been implicated
in fat gain.
Why we insist on intense cardio exercise…traps and neck
development after age 40? No problem! Desert Island
supplement? Who was Pat Casey? Best legs ever??
Hello,
I read where John Parrillo wants
his bodybuilders to perform cardio
to a point ‘where they are breathing
hard.’ What does that mean?
Why?! I ride my exercise bike everyday
as soon as I get up and I am
able to tool along at an astoundingly
fast pace without breathing hard
– that is a sign of my fitness – are
your trainees so unfit that they have
to breathe hard during exercise??
Perhaps you people should stick to
lifting weights and leave cardio to
the lean and fit!

a hissy fit. Jay from Egg Harbor

in public. If you were within arms
length I’d certainly consider spanking
you in front of your little crew
of boat club type friends. “You
people” – isn’t that racial code used
by skinny, sickly academic runner
types as they sneer at anyone that
dares have an arm in excess of 14
inches or has served in the military?
This type of sneering, man-to-man,
with an over-muscled hard-breather
could get you punched in the face
Jay. Just saying. Actually in your
snide, dismissive way, you bring
up a good point; a subtle point, a
point that illustrates the Parrillo
cardio approach. The idea is this:
the best cardio is when we go
hard! Hard cardio burns the most
calories in the shortest time, hard
amps the metabolism maximally.
Sir – do you really think you are
too fit to breathe hard? You just refuse
to push yourself hard enough
to breathe hard. No doubt you have
some super expensive, smooth-as-
