Grey's Bio Page

Who is Grey?
I'm from Utah,have also lived in SF, Tucson
and LA. I'm into old school punk-rock, swing, and blues. I'm a college student, and am writing a book about the bodybuilding diet. Been around bodybuilding since I was a kid! My dad was a fan of Arnold and all the Pros of the time, so I grew up interested in BB.

When I first started college, my major was sports nutrition. The University I was attending discontinued the program, so I had to change majors. I am currently studying to be a social worker, and putting together a bodybuilding related business. Phase one includes personal training and working on a book about eating for the sport.

Women in Bodybuilding
My personal opinion about womens bodybuilding is that it began to die when Cory Everson retired. I really liked her physique, as well as others like Anja Langer and Tonya Knight (who became an American Gladiator). To me, todays women look like male amateurs in bikinis. Women taking large amounts of androgens is equal to transexuals taking estrogen to look more like women. Apparently many fans agree. They had trouble coming up with enough sponsors for the last Ms. Olympia, and the show lost money even with reduced prize money. Just my opinion, and my website.

Articles and Newsletter
I will be adding some articles and a regular (monthly?) newsletter in the future. Here are a few diet and supplement tips;

Diet and Supplement Tips
Many of these may seem "common sense", but I am amazed at how often people forget or don't know them.
  • A tolerance to ephedrine and caffeine is built up quickly. Clear all caffeine out of your system before starting the E/C/Y stack, and cycle its use. I recommend two weeks on, and one week off for best results.
  • Take E/C/Y first thing in the A.M. on an empty stomach.
  • Do your aerobics first thing in the A.M after taking E/C/A.
  • Wait an hour after morning aerobics before first meal. This takes advantage of increased metabolism to burn a little extra fat.
  • Divide your daily calorie intake into several small meals throughout the day. I recommend 5 or 6.
  • Consume the majority of your carbs in the morning and in your post-workout meal.
  • Don't over-rely on MRP's. Meal Replacement Powders can be very useful, but don't go overboard. You need real food with fiber going through your system. Two or three is plenty.
  • Don't be afraid of vegetables. They are low calorie in relation to their bulk, high in fiber, and high in vitamins. They help keep you feeling full. I use the frozen blends for convenience.
  • Flax oil and Evening Primrose oil. There are alot of benefits to supplementing with these oils. There will be a future article concerning this.
  • Low fat diet. To use the Flax oil, the rest of your diet has to be pretty low in fat, but the total shouldn't drop below 10 or 15%. Any lower and you could lower your testosterone levels.
  • When dieting,vary your calorie intake. Figure how many calories you need to keep your weight even, then slightly vary your intake on the negative side. This helps keep your body from going into "starvation mode".So if 2500 calories is break even, then you eat 1900 one day , 2000 the next,2100,back to 2500,1900,2000,2200,back to 2500 ect.
The bodybuilders diet should be high protein, medium carbs, low fat. There are definitly many other ideas on this subject, but I have found this to be a good set-up. My personal breakdown is 50-30-20 or 45-35-20.
