Q. Jeff, I read an article on a magazine website where an expert on Olympic lifting, power and explosive power, stated that if two people do the same number of pushups, but one does his in less time, he produces more power and in powerlifting versus olympiclifting, he said the 2nd style developed more explosive power. Why is powerlifting called power then?A. Because you must develop or exert

Q. Planet Muscle is informative, easy to read and better than all the others magazines, in my opinion. In your June - July 2008 issue, starting on page 82, an author and article is discussing back training, and it seems like just 1 set of each exercise? I've never heard of only doing 1 set per exercise. Your input would be appreciated.A. You should read the other guy’s letter! Beyond warm-up sets

Q. I’m an old-timer playing around with weights. Awhile back I asked for advice about a detached left biceps tendon that I did not have surgically re-attached. I followed your advice and my biceps are recovering size and definition. Thanks so much. Now, I have had both hips replaced and I can’t bring my knees up more than 90 degrees so I can’t do crunches. Do you have any ideas for my abs?A.

Q. About Marty Gallaher’s steroid editorial in your last issue, while Arnold may or may not be ignoring that bodybuilders in his event may be using steroids, either way, your reply tap-danced through Marty’s questions. Besides that, your magazine has too much anatomy detail unless readers are medical students. I am a school teacher and should not need to carry "Gray's Anatomy" just to understand

Q: I went to a high school power lifting event last week and a couple kids actually did over 500 in the bench. They were all steroid tested. Most wore those special shirts. These kids were not thick with muscle. Are these shirts the reason they can lift so much weight and is it good for such young boys to handle so much weight while still growing?A: Well, you saw them lift those weights! The

Q. I really enjoy the editorials about steroids. Everybody who enters the Arnold Classic bodybuilding physique event breaks the law if they are using steroids. Why Arnold puts his name on this event and endorses it, is beyond me. Maybe Marty is 100% right and it’s just for money, yet Arnold does not need money that way. By the way, have you ever wondered why Congress has never investigated

Q: Jeff, I like the way Planet Muscle uniquely features strong men, powerlifting and stuff like Kim Goss's article on the new young stud, Pat Mendes. Keep that all up and you have at least one reader for life.A: We intend to and in this issue we feature mighty Greg Panora. There must be something about the name Pat!

Point of View by Marty GallagherJeff, it’s time for you to stop being an Arnold apologist and start asking some hard questions of the governor of California.I can't think of too many things Jeff Everson and I disagree on – however Jeff’s flippant apology for Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Sets and Reps segment of the July/August issue of Planet Muscle caused blood to shoot out of my

Q: Jeff, the top supplement companies seem like they are working with a new bodybuilding star each issue. I know you are high on Phil Heath and Victor Martinez this year to take on Dexter, but do you see anybody really underrated as new pro?A: Well, we featured Marcos Chacon on our cover last issue for a good reason - the guy is a house!

Q: I was doing skull crushers and screwed up my right elbow. The MD said he thinks I have micro tears on the tendon, but he did not do an MRI. It's killing me, pain up my arm and shoulder. My rotators are not great either and hurt. Every morning I wake up and my elbow is in pain. What kind of workout can I do?

Q: Jeff, I herniated a cervical disc causing immediate flaccid paralysis of my left triceps long head, left pectoralis major and left latissimus dorsi. I had a discectomy about 3 weeks after paralysis started setting in. My pec, triceps and lat have all undergone atrophy despite hours of hard work in my home gym. I know I had degeneration of the C 7 nerve root and need to wait at least 200 days

Q: Jeff, a bunch of my buddies and I am wondering about the big suppliers who sell through some of the huge big box stores thatthey may be skimping on the proteins listed. I buy Beverly instead.A: You can’t target any particular discount or big box store. While logic would suggest that to get into the big box stores at an ultra, super low price, something must suffer, but that's not axiomatic.

Q: Nobody has asked how ARNOLD can attach his name, endorsement and support as the Governor of California to a huge event (his event!) that is 100% full of drug users, drugs that are controlled substances, namely steroids. How does he get away with this? What does the media (and his wife and kids) think about the women in his bodybuilding event? He has stated before that the sport must get rid of

Q: I've been reading your mag for three years now and I also read a couple others and yours by far is the best one. What do I say to the people who are constantly trying to cut me down because I’m not the same because I eat so many times (5-6) in the day?

Q: As a competitive lifter who pushes heavy iron, I appreciate that Planet Muscle gives me stories on the biggest strongest guys. You are the only magazine that seems to care about us lifters.A: We call it PLANET because we believe that everybody who lifts iron is important, not just those who may almost kill themselves, just so they get to pay $100 for a bodybuilding pro card.

Q: Thanks for the photos of Peary O’Brien in PM, Russ Knipp and Bob Bednarski (in Athlete), early last year. All three were great athletes of strength and multiple world record holders. Sure enough, none of the other magazines even left a footnote.

Q: Mr. Everson, everybody in your stinking Planet Muscle is a big f***ing cheater and so are you. My chest is bigger than yours and all of your Planet Muscle goons, and I don’t even do the Roids or that Beverly protein.

Believe it or not, once upon a time, back about 1950, when guys like Gironda, Reeves,Grimek, Ross and Tanny, promenaded and exercised at Muscle Beach, there were no anabolic steroids. Bodybuilding did not mean the greatest massive size, with the least body fat. Instead, it stood for a 100% healthy lifestyle, clean and fresh, and sometimes raw foods, clean fresh air, no drugs, booze or smokes, and

Have you guys ever heard of Mike “The Ripper” Bruce? He’s a strong guy who travels about making demonstrations at schools, youth groups and churches. But what is different, is that he liftsover 300 pounds with the raw strength of his neck!In fact we have, and here he is. This is pretty darn impressive we have to admit!

I picked up the Aug/Sep issue of Planet Muscle and enjoyed reading it, as always. I especially liked your story about Jennifer Micheli. She is very inspirational and motivational for a "babyboomer" fitness addict like me. As I started to get older (don't we all!), it suddenly dawned on me that if I wanted to stay in shape, I was going to have to put forth some sort of effort and do it

I have always loved your straight forwardness in your articles. You don't pull any punches and you say exactly what's on your mind. But my question is, how much of the pro bodybuilders gains are due to steroids compared to supplements. The reason I am asking is, I just started working out and I want to know if the supplements they are selling are worth it. Any ideas as to what I should be taking

I was really disappointed with your October issue of PM. On page 96 your article on sex and muscle, you do not have one black bodybuilding couple represented. What? You don’t think black men and women lift weights and keep in shape? We also buy your magazine and would it have killed you to at least show one black couple instead of all caucasians?Well, I agree with you. In fact, I find many of my

Perhaps bodybuilding’s hottest new supplement for power, mass, lean ripped size and hardness, is the IDS innovative hydrolyzed liquid whey protein shots.

Mr. Everson, why haven’t you (or someone), commented about some of the statements made in the new book called, Sergio Oliva - The Myth? I didn’t know too much about Sergio other than what I have read over the years in some bodybuilding magazines, that he was a past Mr. Olympia and I understand, a very good one, (even if he was before my time).

Several companies are talking about optimizing hormones levels for harder and leaner muscle, faster. These subjects are a recurring theme in Dr. Serrano’s Planet Muscle articles.

Jeff, Your series by Dr. Paul Ward on training science, has been outstanding. But, his last installment left me befuddled. I am training my 14-year old boy to become a pro in football.

Hello -- I just read the question in your Nov-Dec issue of PM, on page 41. Part of your answer was, "I assume we will de-butt as we grow.” Jeff, please don’t let this happen to your magazine. It is one of the things that puts Planet M apart. The others are all the same old, same-old, people, workouts, and ads. You also use lot of humor with these pictures, a lot of the time, so it does not really

I saw a brief product mention about Anabolic Pump on AverageJoessupplements.com as a new, up and coming product. Do you know much about the technology behind it yet?Some. The Anabolic Pump, as it is called, is described as a multicompounded matrix, a genetic equalization formula, made by USP Labs. USP Labs was voted, "The best new brand by Bodybuilding.com for 2006." So, this says something very

How does anyone ever learn which proteins work best? What about Strategic Protein, made by the Doctor Bradburg. How is one ever supposed to know which one is best to build muscle or to use to get leaner?You mean Rob Brandenburg not Bradburg and he is studying now in medical school, to be a physician.

Jeff, I have looked high and low, and none of the dinky little mart-stores, in my small Kansas town, carries Planet Muscle. (It’s only 1,717 people) with just some 3-4 small stores and gas stations. There is a Wal-Mart about 40 miles away, but I looked and Planet was not there.Maybe we were reclassified along with Pluto? Wal-Mart will not accept the current format, yet, unless, (or until) we stop

Several issues ago, Planet Muscle had a very interesting article, one of your best ever, in fact, and it was so good that the bodybuilding.com site picked it up (I’m assuming with your permission), and ran it for a long time, written by Certified Trainer, Karen Jo Koumas. It was called Buffed with Karen Jo. It was about functional, realistic ways that both men and women could lose weight, but

I have been a fan of yours, and your integrity and intelligence for many years.One of the most impressive articles of yours was a 2-part article in the December 1991 and April 1992 issues of Powerlifting USA regarding studies that Dr. Scott Connelly did on protein, hypertrophy, and drug-free training when MET-Rx was just coming out. Another great article was in the old Iron Man from around 1980

Exactly 9 months ago, I started taking AAEFX Kre-Alkalyn and Nytric and stacked them as they suggest. Then, I added their new liquid Kre. I’m not accusing this company, but I read that many companies have been found to have drug additives in their products because they are made in China with no quality control and the Chinese are dumping steroids and drugs in the products so the users get a big

Jeff, one of the things I like about Planet Muscle, is you do not try to bullshit us about how we can look like the latest pro bodybuilder if we just follow this routine, or take the supplement he may be pushing. No one else does! Planet Muscle understands genetic limits without drugs. With that being said, is there anything that you recommend to help me maximize the genetic stuff I do have?It’s

I’ve been reading your magazine, about Carnosine boosting from a supplement called H+Blocker. Is this is good as these ads say? Can you really feel it, working from the first dose? How come no other supplement Co. has been promoting carnosine?Rest assured they will and in fact, ANSI already has with Extreme Shock, this is beta-alanine as a drink not powder, or capsules, as these companies are

Jeff, who’s the gorgeous model in the Goliath Lab’s ad in Planet Muscle. What is thisproduct for? Isn’t the male ejaculate a priority for one thing, conception?Gina Ostarly is the model and speaking of conception, she is a mother of 3! She’sover 40, definitely a babe and a half.

I read on a website that the IDS Company has developed a liquid whey. I use whey powder, and this sounds good. Are there advantages? How do I know if this, or any protein, is good and hits the mark?Yes, IDS has produced a hydrolyzed protein blend called New Whey Liquid Protein. I’ve already tried it!

I read your article in the latest issue of Planet Muscle and I could not wait until I could get to the gym to try out Your Mega-set routine. WOW!!! Burn to the bone is about right. I loved it. I have never seen a routine like this before. It hit me that this routine could be used in a cutting phase. It was intense. It burned to the bone. I’m 50, could I use it to get under 7% body fat?

I know you used MET-Rx to win Mr. America Over 40. Which of their products now, are best to gain muscle fast?Yeah, over-40, like 40 years ago. I would say RTD 51, for fast protein absorption, because it's liquid protein, the original white packet powder, for anti-catabolism, and Amped RTD, for mindblowing workout energy.Go to www.metrx.com and see their ads in Planet Muscle magazine.

In your March issue, you said NSP is out of business. Was that a clever ploy to get them to advertise in Planet Muscle, because I order protein from them every month!

I am 41 and have been training hard for 14 years. I had my blood tested and my MD told me he wants to do a liver ultrasound as my creatine was high at 1.2, and something called transamase was high, at 80. I take Beverly proteins. My testosterone was only 495 and he says I don’t need any extra, but I heard 850 is good. What’s going on?Nothing! Your doctor said creatinine and transaminase.

I’m stacking Viraloid and 17-HD. How much will this raise my testosterone? Will I get bigger and stronger? How does it work? Will it be, at all, toxic to my liver and should I have my blood tested?This is a strong combination that will raise your testosterone anywhere from 30% - 300%, when cycled over 6 months. This is a very wide deviation because some people are extremely low testosterone to

Do you know how can I get off Vicoden?This is true and my main injury is mental infirmity. Vicoden-ES is a trade name with 7.5mg. hydrocodone and 750 mg. acetaminophen.

Jeff, I have been using the supplement Meta-CEL, made by the iSatori company. I like it. They have a new one called CE-XL and I am considering the switch, but what is your opinion of both of these, if you are familiar with each of them?

Jeff, two lifters in my local GNC were arguing about creatine and one guy had the book called, Industry Insider Secrets Revealed. Where is this available? I find creatine confusing.

Every damn ad promises to slam 50 pounds of muscle on you in 2 weeks. Everybody yells in print over everybody else.

I have read Planet Muscle since inception and early on you had recommended strongly a product called Viraloid. Do you still recommend it, and if so, what is the big deal with it at $80? I have heard that it is comparable to anabolic steroids. Is it a pro-hormone, prosteroid or steroid or just Santa Claus?Well, for sure, after you use Viraloid for about three trials, you won’t be a Santa’s elf.
