College strength programs

While, I won’t claim to have the volume of genetically gifted athletes that other programs have, I certainly have my share.

To this end, I have no hesitation in stating that the nutrition does play the largest determining factor specifically in regards to meaningful increases in muscle cross-sectional diameter.

As it stands, the growth that is most often noticed amongst the more gifted athletes is simply the result of the physical maturation process.

If many of these athletes were to even follow a moderately regimented nutritional program geared towards lean tissue gain they would most definitely receive accusations of taking pharmaceutical grade anabolics.

It’s quite fascinating to observe the tissue gain, and at the very least- the retention, that some of these gifted athletes demonstrate considering the fact that they are lucky to eat 3-4 times a day at best, very few ever eat breakfast, and, more often than not, all but one of those meals are fast food.

for those that think it should be as easy as writing their nutritional programs and they’ll follow it- I have news for you…

There’s a reason for the saying “You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink”

What makes an athlete “gifted”?
