My review of Burn The Fat, Feed The Muscle prompted me to seek some clarifications regarding Tom’s stance on meal frequency and whether he has changed his stance since the latest edition.

Less is usually more I’ve added two testimonials from people I helped get their mind right with regards to weight training; Daniel Berglind and Albert Kuller (you’ll find them in the Testimonials section). Both used an IF protocol, in combination with a low volume lifting routine, centered on compound movements like the bench press, squat, […]
