Q:	Just when I finished reading your book (it's awesome) I learned I had to undergo surgery for an inguinal hernia. Now I'm looking at 4 weeks before I can train. I'm using this time to retrain my eating habits, but I'd like to know what else you think I could do during this time. Is it worth taking any supplements while I'm down, like LS7?

A:	Jordan, No, no need while you're down. Likely no need any way. Hope you're doing great! Check out my Magnum Opus... the new book:

Q:	What are your thoughts on L-Carnitine & CLA? I was recently at a nutrition store and these are 2 supplements they recommended I take given my fitness goals. Those goals include decreasing fat composition (currently at around 20% fat) and develop lean muscle. I tend to be quite cautious when it comes to supplementation, because while I want results I don't want to put harmful chemicals into my body. The only supplements I am currently using are multi-vitamin's and protein powder (whey or Myoplex Light) in shakes. Any council/advice you have would be much appreciated. Thank you!

A:	Heather, Not much about them really... like what you're doing but if you can find something better quality than myoplex that would be great. E...
