My Intro:

I have listened to Daniel Gastelu's (Ph.D., trainer, researcher, author) Seminar series on Developing Awesome Muscles and I believe there is a good deal of information of value in there for bodybuilders, powerlifters, physique athletes and even those looking to just get ripped.

These are free to stream or download and packed with information. They range in time from as little as 15 minutes to as much as an hour...on average being 30 minutes. (I will show you how to cut 33% of the time off if your time is precious.) There are no ads and no fluff.

I want to know if anyone would be interested in listening to the segments Daniel has presented, one at a time and discussing them...I will answer any questions anyone has about the content. I am corresponding and will be talking with Daniel and if there is anything anyone wants to know more about, I am sure I can get him to cover it.

There are 22 topics from supplementation and nutrition for fat loss and muscle gains to some specific methods and techniques for maximal performance and development.

I will highlight the key points as I see them and try to clarify anything that I feel is presented in a complicated fashion.

Everyone else is free to do the same as well as discuss the points, ask questions, debate, and together work out practical scenarios for applying these things to our training to get the most of the cutting edge science that is presented.

P.S. Daniel builds on ideas as he goes through the series and I feel that listening in order is very helpful in getting some of the insights he sharing.

This seminar starts Dan's review of lipid-related topics as they relate to a bodybuilder's performance nutrition and fat loss plan.

Topics discussed include: oils, fats, fatty acids, phospholipids, DHA, EPA, linoleic acid, and alpha-linolenic acid. In addition, Dan talks about the critical essential fatty balance for ultimate fat metabolism, cholesterol, and lipid intake. Dan also reviews the fat loss and lean body mass building supplement CLA, and he covers the caloric aspects of alcohol.

Highlights:
Sodium intake
Alcohol as an anti-anabolic and calories
Fats and cell membranes

Saturated fats cause cell malformatins
Avoiding hidden fats, don't add fats
Eating out and fats....
EFAs and labelling
