Subject: Still got questions? Your Return to Prime questions answered here... (FAQ)
To help you decide if my new program is a good fit for you, I've put together an FAQ of the top questions I've been asked about it.If you don't see a question that YOU still have about it, just hit reply and let me know! I'll be checking email frequently and I'll do my best to answer you personally as soon as possible!
1. Who Is This Program Best Suited For? If you just turned 40, now is the perfect time to hit this style of training and set yourself up to KEEP your hard-earned muscle...and build more, if that's your goal. If you're over 50, like me, you're getting into the critical time where the more you do to prevent the decline, the better off you'll be in the future. And if you're pushing 60 or 70+, this will really help bring your body back to where it was years ago. It's really like hitting a "reset" button.

2. Is this program ok for beginners?Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it if you've been training less than 6 months to a year. Your body is still in the "beginner gains" rapid adaptation phase where you're actually getting a TON of benefits from normal training. When you're ready, the program will be here. That being said, I'm actually working on a more beginner-oriented version of this program that I'll be aiming to release early next year. It'll include similar physiological goals but with more appropriate workouts for those who are just starting out in their training careers or are coming back from a long time away from training.
3. Will this program work for women?Absolutely. It will work just as well for women as it does for men. The basic structure of men and women are essentially the same in terms of the physiology this program targets. Women will benefit especially from the connective tissue training...it's incredibly effective for keeping the bones strong as well. I think mine are made of adamantium at this point, after 30+ years of doing stuff like this.
4. Can I be too old or too young to do this program?I don't think it's necessary for a teenager to be doing this type of program...not dangerous, just better to focus on building an overall base of strength at that age. As far as too old, nope! The only thing I would do recommend would be to adjust the training volume and frequency of workouts as needed. The actual workout protocols will be VERY effective, even at very advanced ages.

5. Is it potentially dangerous to train these aspects of the body's physiology?In my opinion, it's actually worse NOT to train these things. Weakness is FAR more dangerous than strength and the more you can improve these basic functions of the body, the better off you'll be, not only in muscle and strength but in overall health as well.
6. There are four phases of 3 weeks each. Do I have to go through the entire program straight through in 3 months?Not at all! One of the nice things about how this program is split into phases is that you can do these phases on their own, in smaller chunks. Want to just work on circulation? Do that for 3 weeks then move onto a regular program. Come back to the connective tissue phase when you're ready. The changes we're aiming to make are persistant changes to your physiology. Now, that being said, I think you WILL get the best results by going through all these phases in order together. I've specifically designed the program so that each phase builds on the previous one and sets up the next one. But it's not 100% necessary and I'd rather you actually USE the stuff in the program, even if it's in chunks, rather than waiting for the perfect time to do the whole thing all at once.
7. Do I need to take a lot of supplements for this program to work?There are a lot of supplements you CAN take, but not really any you MUST take. L-Citrulline in the first phase and collagen/vitamin C in the second phase come close. Those supplements provide the raw materials needed to maximize the results of those phases and can really help a lot.
8. Do I need a lot of special equipment to do this program?Nope, standard free weights (and, ideally a rack or Smith machine) are all you need. Machines can be used, too. I do include a section on training equipment and how certain unique items can be beneficial and useful for the training, but literally every part of the program can be done with just simple free weights like barbells and dumbbells.
9. Can this program be done at home?If you have the necessary equipment at home, absolutely! This is a program that doesn't really lend itself to bodyweight training, to be honest, though.
10. Will I look stupid when doing these workouts?Well, I will tell you straight up that people will likely wonder what you're doing and you'll potentially get questions about it. A lot of it is VERY different than what anybody else in the gym will be doing and that will get attention. The exercises themselves are primarily variations of normal movements that you're probably already doing...it's just HOW you do them that will be different. Once you explain WHY you're doing what you're doing, you may get even MORE questions... feel free to send those people my way!
11. Do I need to follow a specific diet while doing this program?Nope, but I do have some dietary recommendations that can help with the program. For example, in the first phase of training to improve circulation, we want to have plenty of carbs available as they increase your body water levels. Increased water levels means your muscles are more hydrated and your blood vessels are more "full." If your carbs are reduced, your muscles will be flat and you'll have a harder time getting that important pump that really blow open those new blood vessels.
12. How long are the workouts and how many times per week do I do them?Most of the workout are 45 minutes to an hour. During the Hyperplasia phase, the longest ones can go 90 minutes, but I'll show you how to trim those to an hour, if you need to or prefer to. Most of the training weeks are 4 days...the Hyperplasia phase is 6 days a week. That phase is unique in that while we are doing high frequency training, it's not super demanding because you're not really lifting anything for most of it (you'll see).
