Descripción del producto

Descripción del producto

Provocatively written yet grounded in science, Unlock Your Muscle Gene is a revolutionary guide to physical transformation and the latest information on muscle conditioning, weight loss, and anti-aging strategies. According to Ori Hofmekler, we need to learn how to trigger the genes that retain and develop our muscles and extend our lives—we need to unleash this innate program that transforms pain to power and makes our bodies thrive.
 
Hofmekler exposes the false theories behind modern fitness and presents the actual biological principles upon which human diet and training should be based. He also details how to combine foods; the right meal timing and meal size; why we need to separate AM foods and PM foods; the ideal fuel to prevent “hitting the wall”; how long and how often to train; and whether we can develop a super-muscle fiber hybrid with unmatched strength and durability. Unlock Your Muscle Gene will inspire you on your path to a stronger, healthier, biologically younger body.
 


From the Trade Paperback edition.

2.0 de un máximo de 5 estrellas Repetitive and lacking specifics 5 de octubre de 2011
Por Borge Fagerli - Publicado en Amazon.com
Formato:Versión Kindle|Compra verificada por Amazon
After reading the author's other two books, the Warrior Diet and Maximum Muscle, Minimum Fat, I was expecting this book to be very informative and specific to the athletic population and going in depth on how to optimize nutrition and training for gaining muscle and getting leaner. I was honestly very disappointed.

The book is extremely repetitive, and I wonder if there was any editor involved in the writing whatsoever. Not only is the same point rehashed on the same page or in the same chapter, but it's repeated in later chapters as well. Looks more like a series of disconnected thoughts or independent articles collected without any thought for coherence.

You will also find a lot of contradictions. He swears by low glycemic, low carbs - but goes into great detail explaining how our muscle fibers (and even a theory of a "super hybrid fiber") who responds the most to short and intense training - requires carbs as its primary fuel. The best way to get carbs is to rely on gluconeogenesis from amino acid conversion, yet recommends a maximum of 20g of whey for a feeding to maximize assimilation.

During the day and for your post-exercise recovery meals you should protein-pulse feed, eating fast assimilating proteins, basically nothing but yoghurt with whey from grass-fed cows which the author himself, incidentally, sells at his website. Then later on he says you can eat eggs and cheese during the day, which in his previous chapters is a slow assimilating protein and better eaten for the evening meal. Stay away from most carbs for your recovery meals because it can directly inhibit anabolism. In one study in people over the age of 60, no less. Then later on recommends having carbs in the window of opportunity (which would be your recovery meals) because glycolytic fibers are targeted during training.

No specifics at all except 20g of whey every 2-3hrs during the day, but how much should you eat for the evening meal? Until full? For hard training athletes, that's not going to cut it if you want to perform at an advanced level. He does say that according to your stats and fitness level you will get more out of carbs vs fats, but there is no suggestion on ratios or anything you could infer from a total protein count. Intermittent fasting, but a whey feeding basically achieves the same effect, so a fasted workout isn't really a fasted workout. Does that mean you can start your whey pulsing when you get up, or should you wait a few hours?

The workouts - you should combine explosive exercise with heavy weights in the 5RM range, then lists exercises such as running up and down stairs lifting dumbells or running on a treadmill holding weights overhead or out in front of you. Good luck doing that with 5RM loads.

If you have his previous two books, don't waste your money on this one. If you don't, you can get the same type of information just by reading his free articles and interviews. I recommend publishing some type of guidelines for what and how much to eat for the evening meal + sample workouts in a 2nd edition if he wants people to buy and recommend his book. And get an editor to remove all the repetition. Would probably cut the page count in half, though - but if you can replace those pages with some useful content it would be worth it.

Por Steven Katz - Publicado en Amazon.com
Formato:Tapa blanda
I have been expectantly awaiting the release of this book for months and I stayed up past midnight to read it on my Kindle as soon as it came out. I have to say I am a little bit underwhelmed. First of all a lot of the information Ori presents has been available in various articles and interviews he has given through the previous year or so. I feel like there is nothing dramatic being introduced here. Also he is a little short on specifics. For example he keeps saying that we should have small meals interspersed through the day. Fine what is his definition of a small meal 200 calories,300 calories,400 calories? I do not want to come across as over-negative because I feel that the program presented has value and I plan on incorporating many features. Also if you are new to the world of low carb, high intensity exercise this book will be a good primer. Maybe I was expecting too much.

I have all of Ori's books, and have read this one twice since I got 4 days ago. I like the book much better than MMMF, his previous book. His previous book felt like it was written for someone with a graduate degree in Biology. This book is a lot simplier to read and implement and a good way to share the biological reasons to follow the Warrior Diet and Controlled Fatigue Training with non diet and fitness fanatics that do not have the patience to wade through some of his other books. To be frank, you will find most of the useful information in the book here: [...]
When looking at Ori's works, the first thing to keep in mind is he is a philospher. His diets and workouts are based on his active survival philosphy. Having said that, he obviously looks for the research to back up his ideas, this 150 page book has an additional 20 pages of references. The book IS repetative, it could have been edited down to half the size or less without loss of substance, it felt like it was stretched out so it could be published. A couple of chapters in the middle are plugs as to why you should buy his protein and supplements. My single biggest complaint is that I wish he would have summed up the concrete actions with a bullet list at the end of the chapter or end of the book.

As to the previous comment about running on stairs with 5 RM weight, Ori said exercise intensely such as using a 5 RM weight OR running with a LIGHT weight overhead that you can hold up for 3 minutes continously (which may only be the weight of your hands).

While this book is not a complete diet and fitness worldview like the the Warrior Diet, it has lots of useful nuggets and worth the price of two magazines. I would buy it again, it gave me some new ideas on how to tweak my diet and workout. I love the way Ori presents ideas and information that no one else is talking about. Whether you agree with it or not, it is a breath of fresh air.
