JOHN PARRILLO’S PERFORMANCE PRESS<br />
‘Christmas tree’ lower back and<br />
striated glutes – these ripped body<br />
parts are there but they are all buried<br />
under body fat. If you are able<br />
to melt off enough body fat you will<br />
obtain the delineation you seek.<br />
We all are a bit different insofar<br />
as where we pack our excess body<br />
fat. Some guys can have ripped<br />
limbs (arms and legs) and still will<br />
carry a lot of torso fat. Others can<br />
rip up the waist and lower<br />
back while holding fat in<br />
the butt, lower back and<br />
legs. Women can show<br />
shredded abs while still<br />
having cottage-cheese<br />
thighs and big butts. We<br />
are all different. We all<br />
have one particular area<br />
where, after all the other<br />
fat has been melted off<br />
all the other body parts,<br />
that last vestige of fat will<br />
stubbornly cling to a final<br />
body part.<br />
My advice would be to<br />
first look at your nutrition:<br />
are you adhering (tightly)<br />
to the <strong>Parrillo</strong> nutritional<br />
game plan? Are you doing<br />
all that you can do to melt<br />
off fat? I in fact do have<br />
a “secret” hamstring exercise<br />
from the Soviet Union: stiff<br />
legged deadlifts off a block using a<br />
very specific exercise protocol.<br />
• Stand on a 100 pound plate laid<br />
flat on the floor using a narrow<br />
stance<br />
• Pull a loaded barbell up the shins<br />
and thighs keeping a straight<br />
back<br />
• Lower the weight to the floor<br />
slowly<br />
• Touch the plates lightly and come<br />
erect slooooow!<br />
• Use hamstrings and hamstrings<br />
alone to power erect<br />
• You should feel it in the hams as<br />
you rise up slow<br />
• Perform 2-3 sets of 6-8 reps: light<br />
weight, slow, perfect technique<br />
This is a Man hamstring exercise<br />
that, if done properly, will blow leg<br />
Oatmeal<br />
Chicken<br />
curls into the weeds when it comes<br />
to hamstring results. Perform these<br />
stiff-legged deadlifts in place of<br />
lying leg curls. Double-down on<br />
your attention to diet: let’s use a<br />
two prong approach – melt off the<br />
fat that is obscuring your already<br />
ripped hamstrings while simultaneously<br />
using Soviet-style stiff-leg<br />
deadlifts off a plate to blast hams<br />
out of their current complacency.<br />

Having trouble recovering<br />
from session to session?<br />
More calories are needed – like 50% more!<br />
If you want to stay lean, these additional<br />
calories need to be “clean calories”<br />
Vic,<br />
I am NOT recovering session to<br />
session: I train hard four times<br />
a week and always start off the<br />
training week great and by the 3rd<br />
and particularly by the 4th weekly<br />
session I am tired and weak as a<br />
kitten. Do I need to back off?<br />
Bill C, Corpus Christi<br />
Congratulations for getting<br />
it half right: the fact<br />
that you are tired and<br />
dragging ass is a good<br />
indicator that you are<br />
training hard enough to<br />
trigger real gains. The<br />
solution you seek lies<br />
in the other half of the<br />
growth equation: nutrition!<br />
You need to take in<br />
a LOT more calories! It<br />
is really that simple. As<br />
John <strong>Parrillo</strong> is fond of<br />
saying, “There is no such<br />
thing as overtraining –<br />
only under-eating!” That<br />
is you my friend. More<br />
calories are needed – like<br />
50% more! If you want<br />
to stay lean, these additional<br />
calories need to be<br />
“clean calories” and not<br />
“dirty calories” derived<br />
from refined carbs, manmade artificial<br />
“foods” and trash food. I<br />
would suggest you purchase a bottle<br />
of CapTri ® . Each tablespoon of<br />
CapTri ® contains 120 calories impossible<br />
to be turned into body fat.<br />
Kick up your consumption of clean<br />
calories, take in 4-10 tablespoons<br />
of CapTri ® per day and watch<br />
as your tired, rundown feeling<br />
disappears within a week.<br />
