Get started now on the KSI educational path!

Wtih the increased traffic of spam emails, the chances your question emails to me are being caught up in my spam deletion programs.

I encourage you all to get onto the free KS forum. This is the best way to chat with myself and my coaches, as well as other dedicated KSI members.

You won't get better advice and support anywhere - and iit won't cost you a thing!

Are the programs in the book the same as the online ones?

I have been looking over the your program on T-mag site. Are these same programs included in your get buffed books, like the great gun routine, the super strength, limping series, and the advanced upper body training. Thank you,
--Edith

Edith - the Get Buffed! books 1, II and III all have programs in them. You may see some similarities in the GB 1 book to the T-mag workouts, but the book programs are more complete, and of course there are chapters and chapters on training education.

I'm 50 years old. I've been training for 26 years

Mr King, Sorry about the e-mail. I'm 50 years old. I've been training for 26 years or so. I've never competed. I just enjoy the challenge and feeling of being in good condition.

For years I followed the teaching of Mike Mentzer. I asked my wife to get me your books for Christmas last year after reading your articles on Testoserone Mag. I just did a major interior up- grade to my home, so did not train for 12 weeks. Im ready to get after it again. I work for U.P. Railroad. I have to be there at 6 A.M. Ive trained at 4 a.m.

in the past. I like it in the sense that it keeps me from missing workouts, but I dislike in the sense that It takes me awhile to get awake and ready to train hard. I am level 1 certified by I.A.R.T. , which is no big deal although it required some study and thought to complete.

It was through taking that course that I begin questioning some of the things I so strongly believed about Heavy Duty training. I do believe Mike Mentzer was on track about intensity, and recovery being very important. Anyway, I f you would be so kind to offer some advice on the vitamin supplements you recommend, a restart program for someone who has had a 3 month total layoff, and what do you think if I took Spike or something like that to get me mentally going for early morning workouts?

Before the layoff I was doing a routine like the ones you suggest in your books. Your books are very good. I weigh about 185, and I'm 5 foot, 9 inches tall. I'm not fat but I look and feel awful. I have a home gym with a full array of free weights and some nautilus eqipment. My best peice is the Pendulum machine by Tyler Hopson. Its a plate loading machine that allows me with use of different handles to do many different exercises.

Thank you for your time and I will gladly pay you for your help. You have been a very helpful force in my life. Thanks again.

One of the first things i learnt about training was to drink milk - a lot, often, and in particular after training. Finally, some academic support ! Milk ingestion stimulates protein synthesis! Read on.:

Milk Ingestion Stimulates Net Muscle Protein Synthesis following Resistance Exercise. Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. 38(4):667- 674, April 2006.

ELLIOT, TABATHA A.; CREE, MELANIE G.; SANFORD, ARTHUR P.; WOLFE, ROBERT R.; TIPTON, KEVIN D. Abstract:

Purpose: Previous studies have examined the response of muscle protein to resistance exercise and nutrient ingestion. Net muscle protein synthesis results from the combination of resistance exercise and amino acid intake. No study has examined the response of muscle protein to ingestion of protein in the context of a food.

This study was designed to determine the response of net muscle protein balance following resistance exercise to ingestion of nutrients as components of milk. Method: Three groups of volunteers ingested one of three milk drinks each: 237 g of fat-free milk (FM), 237 g of whole milk (WM), and 393 g of fat-free milk isocaloric with the WM (IM). Milk was ingested 1 h following a leg resistance exercise routine. Net muscle protein balance was determined by measuring amino acid balance across the leg. Results: Arterial concentrations of representative amino acids increased in response to milk ingestion. Threonine balance and phenylalanine balance were both > 0 following milk ingestion. Net amino acid uptake for threonine was 2.8-fold greater (P < 0.05) for WM than for FM. Mean uptake of phenylalanine was 80 and 85% greater for WM and IM, respectively, than for FM, but not statistically different. Threonine uptake relative to ingested was significantly (P < 0.05) higher for WM (21 +/- 6%) than FM (11 +/- 5%), but not IM (12 +/- 3%). Mean phenylalanine uptake/ingested also was greatest for WM, but not significantly.

Conclusions: Ingestion of milk following resistance exercise results in phenylalanine and threonine uptake, representative of net muscle protein synthesis. These results suggest that whole milk may have increased utilization of available amino acids for protein synthesis.

KSI CIP 103 Three Day Boot Camp was life- changing!

I want to thank you again for all you did during the Boot Camp. I can't even begin to tell you how much I learned and how it has changed my perspective on life. I look forward to continuing my growth as a person and hopefully as a KSI coach! Sincerely,
--Brittany

So You Want to Become book - an updated version?

Hello King Sports; I was wondering if the book, So you want to be a physical preparation coach is updated version of So you want to be a strength and conditioning coach. Thanks.
--Ernesto

Ernesto – you are correct – it is an updated version. You should also look to place questions about products on our forum, and you may receive multiple responses from other King coaches and forum users. Thanks

CIP or books?

Hello coach King, I am following your work now for some time on t-nation (you are missed over there!) and have also you BOM. I'm also studying sport science at the university. Since I am a student I really don't have a lot of money, but I decided to spend the little bit I have on education, as I believe it definitely will pay back.

Considering that I have a very limited budget, what would you suggest me to do: I calculated that I have either the money to attempt to the CIP 101 and 102 (103 is right now impossible as it would involve a flight from Europe to USA), or spend the money on some of your books/DVDs? And if books/DVDs is the way to go, in which order?

BTW, I'm a 20 year old basketball player, have a light kind of rheumatism (so far no other injuries), and definitely need to pack on some quality mass! Thanks for your help (and also for your great articles!)
--Andy

Andy – great to hear from you. Yes, it’s been a while since I appeared at t-mag!

I will cc this to our Director of Educating for him to share his thoughts also.

I believe that if you are planning to be a student and pursue professional development, that the CIP 101 and 102 should be your priority. In these programs you will be exposed to so much. And in the 102, you will receive a number of my books in ebook format, and a dvd, so it is great value for money. You will also be exposed to my coaches and the KSI director of Education in Mike Pimentel. These exposures/associations could prove invaluable.

Trust this helps. Now lets see what mike has to say!
--Ian King

Andy, I agree with Ian. There is tremendous value in the CIP 101 and 102. The personal interaction in the 101 will give you higher understanding of the philosophies and methods that Ian and his coaches have employed to be so successful. (you will find it includes so much more than simply reps and sets!).

Ian has already expressed the value of the 102 which includes supporting ebks and a DVD – what he forgot to mention was email interaction with myself to assist with any questions you may have as well as access to the restricted areas of the KSI forum, where you can source other KSI students from around the world as well as the KSI CMP Coaches.

As you can see, our goal is to really look after KSI students who demonstrate the commitment and level of action to become the best in physical preparation and life. We do this through exceptional programs, high standards of value, innovation and excellence. You will see this consistency in all the KSI products and educational offerings.

We look forward to working with you in the near future. If you have any questions on the programs and products we offer, please do not hesitate to contact me. All the best,
--Mike Pimentel

Discipline

All disciplines affect each other. Mistakenly the man says, "This is the only area where I let down." Not true. Every let down affects the rest. Not to think so is naive.
