In a perfect world you'd make all of your body composition changes and integrate them (two full training phases) prior to the start of the season but there are many possible variations. For example, track and field athletes and cyclists both train through some races in order to peak at others. In a skill sport it depends on many things. For example, if you might not make the team you'd better peak on day one of practice but if you're Kevin Garnett you may opt to sacrifice some mid-season form so you can peak in the playoffs. The only two things that don't go together is peak training intensity and peak performance. You can't do both at the same time.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-57643652174787139182012-04-13T06:37:50.083-06:002012-04-13T06:37:50.083-06:00Hey Steve

In general I"m not sure I'd recommend stripping off the last fat prior to mass as I think it will slow down your hypertrophy. If you want to get big you're better off starting with some reserves (fat are reserves that can serve you well). Being ripped looks good on camera but is not the idea performance state from most things.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-59302170964626821812012-04-10T11:26:56.682-06:002012-04-10T11:26:56.682-06:00Anon,

Then I can ask you a few questions and give you a detailed answer. <br /><br />Most likely I won't recommend a hybrid in this case. I'd start with a short block of Phase II X2, followed by three weeks of full on phase 3 X2. Then integrate this with Asylum for a couple of weeks and then recover until practice starts. This will have you very ready.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-64209653140978006792012-04-06T11:33:04.694-06:002012-04-06T11:33:04.694-06:00Steve - Great info and great blog.

I have P90X, P90X2, Insanity and The Asylum. I'm currently at 8% body fat but want to drop another 2% before bulking.<br /><br />Tks,<br /><br />RobRobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-61618911691304974302012-04-06T10:29:21.499-06:002012-04-06T10:29:21.499-06:00hey steve,

I'm going treeplanting during may and june, and won't be able to train, so I will only have july and august to get into shape for varsity basketball tryouts. I was wondering if you could throw together an awesome X2/asylum hybrid schedule that would get me in tip-top shape for basketball tryouts that take place around the 1st of september. Any words of wisdom would mean the world to me.
