I had a chance to visit with Dan at Redskin Park about 5 or 6 years ago. I have also had the opportunity to follow him at PSU and USMA. To address the original question about Dan's "theory and practice", did you get a chance to watch him train any players??.

#3. Cylical Ketogenic diet. - from John Parry-McCulloch

I guess we are all somewhat >prejudiced about buying "secrets" of any sort. Please be nice and save us > the buck. ;-) My guess is that it's nothing more than simple food combining. Given that you can "eat what you want to eat", the only real thing that can be different is the _way_ you eat them. There is some sound scientific evidence that food combining works, and plenty of anecdotal evidence, too. Daniel Reid's _The Tao of Health, Sex, and Longevity_ has a fairly detailed analyses of it and cites many scientific papers to support his text (if anyone's really bothered mail me and I'll look the references up for you). The chief rule is that you should eat your carbs and proteins at different meals since they require different conditions in the gut to be digested. There are a few other simple rules, like avoiding heavily processed foods like sugar, white flour and so on, but that's the crux of it. Speaking for myself, when I am not lazy and I follow these rules myself, I do feel fitter and more alert, I have more energy, and I need much less sleep. There is an excellent site on diet and so on at www.hacres.com. Be warned: turn on your "christian-fruitcake" filter, because they're a bunch of religious nutters. No offence to anyone intended, but if you see the site, you'll know what I mean. That aside, it is excellent. The Lemmon site leaves me very, very cold indeed. I know people have to make a living, but when they are asking me for money in exchange for the Truth, I get very suspicious. And before anyone asks I am not connected in any way with Hallelujah Acres, or Daniel Reid. Jon

#4. New to HIT - from Anthony Rielage

Date: Fri, 09 Oct 1998 07:52:51 PDT From: "Anthony Rielage" <rielagat@hotmail.com> Subject: New to HIT I'm very new to working out (at least, as intensely as I have been), and I had a few questions. I am.... ecto-mesomorphic (I think that's the one- large frame, put on muscle easily, hard time losing fat), and currently am having some success with a 3 day a week workout that separates different parts of my upper body (I don't exercise my lower body because my legs are *HUGE* and my upper body needs the most work), but would like to change up to something that is more of a HIT program. Currently I do about 2 sets to failure on each exercise, though I don't know that I'm going to total failure- and I want to know how you can force yourself to go to total failure. I stop before I'm *totally* exhausted, but I still feel a helluva burn, and I've had pretty decent gains. I've gained 10 pounds over the past month, and none of that, I think, has been fat- I've not changed my diet any, and I'm working out on a regular basis and not gaining any inches about my waist (where most of my fat resides). What I'm considering doing is switching to a 5 day routine, but each day focusing on one body part (Mon-Fri, back, abs, pecs, arms, shoulders, in that order) I understand that a HIT routine emphasizes working the entire body in one workout (which is hard for me to do, since my arms weaken a lot when I do most of my other upper body exercise, and this makes it impossible for me to work to complete failure on most of my exercises), but I want to know- if I split my workout like I'm planning, will I still see large gains, or will my gains be dropped off significantly? Thanks a lot! Tony ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

#5. Don Lemmon's KNOW HOW - from Rob Wolf

Date: Thu, 08 Oct 1998 22:58:17 -0700 From: Rob Wolf <robartw@FTC-I.NET> Subject: Don Lemmon's KNOW HOW Petko, You are the second person to inquire about the diet, so I figured that I would go ahead and post my response on the digest. First off, I will not give you the diet. I will, however, tell you more about it. To understand the effectiveness of the diet, first you must realize that your body can only digest certain foods at any given meal. Why? Becuase when you consume a meal, your body realizes certain enzymes that break down the food you consume for nourishment. Since your body can only realease certain enzymes at any given time, you must only consume certain foods at any given time. What this diet teaches you is how to properly combine foods so that they are all used by your body to nourish you. You aren't restricted on carbs, fat, or protein. You need them all in order to ensure optimum health and performance. So now you are wondering what these will mean for you. It will allow you to get rid of all your unwanted fat a lot faster than you ever thought possible. You will have to give yourself a few days to get adjusted to the eating plan, but will find it easy to follow. Don even has a guide to show you how many calories you should eat to lose fat but NOT muscle. The diet promotes protein synthesis. Something we are all trying to increase. I honestly feel that if you are seriously considering trying to get shredded, you need to pick up the book. This diet will have you looking good and feeling good in no time. If you honestly want to get ripped, then you owe it to yourself to get this book. I want to express one point. Just buying this book isn't going to make you ripped. You will still have to apply the principles in the book in order to receive the dramatic results. The plan isn't hard to follow, and you won't be dissapointed by the selection of food you can eat, but there are those out there that aren't willing to work for results and then blame the system. You will never see results that way. It just won't happen. Fortunately, though, you will have no problem applying and sticking to the plan. If you have any questions about what I said in this e-mail then just contact me. Good luck with your training. Sincerely, Rob

I really suck with >my calves, and having 28" thighs makes it worse. :-) I did 2x12 reps of either donkey calves raises, or standing one legged calf raise holding a dumbell. I used about a 3/3 tempo to failure and then just kept pumping even though I couldn't raise my heels anymore. Forget about using a high block under the balls of your feet to get a good stretch, just use about a 1" block (I train in work boots so most of the "stretch was illiminated). Lots of weight....That's the key, build the poundage up. I trained them once every 4 days. Stretch your calves before working them or you won't be able to walk for a few days cos of cramps. That's it ! It's simple but works, I forgot to mention that another "weeny" (like me) friend of mine added an inch in just a few months like this. Neither of us got our calves to grow on the usual routines - you know, the burn/blitz programs. Daryl

Date: Sat, 10 Oct 1998 16:31:29 EDT From: JLoftus230@aol.com Subject: Re: HIT Digest #197 Son of Squat may want to research Dan Riley and his philosphy a bit deeper. Dan came out of a power-lifting enviornment, while at West Point, he became aware of the work Arthur Jones was advocating. After investigating some of the theories about full range of motion, pre-exhaustion and angle-joint velocity, Dan started training himself with high intensity protocols. After experiencing both trends he became a HIT proponent. Whe he was at Penn State in the 70's through 1981, before he joined the Wshington Redskins, he made Penn State one of the strongest teams in the country with HIT methods. Players such as Bruce Clarke...Matt Suhey, Sean Farrel, Mike Munchak and a host of others were extremley strong. (The recruiting of great athletes doesen't hurt) After joining the Redskins, Dan's same HIT philosophy helped the 'skins win Super Bowls. Of course now they are looking for their first win. Just goes to show you, strength training is a small but important parts of sports. But at any rate, if there is a such thing as strength training Hall of Fame, Dan Riley should be there. As a television reporter, he has always been willing to interview on short notice, and has been consistent in his beliefs.
