Nutrient Partitioning, Meal Timing & Hormone Manipulation
Utilize these venerable Parrillo Principles and build muscle while melting off fat!
Healthy Carbs
Nutrient Partitioning is a concept John Parrillo first introduced to the bodybuilding world twenty five years ago to explain why certain foods are preferentially “partitioned” into making muscle while other foods are preferentially partitioned into creating body fat. If you understand which foods do what, you can custom construct your very own nutritional template incorporating the beneficial foods while avoiding progress-inhibiting foods. What specific foods are preferentially used to build muscle? What specific foods are preferentially used to increase body fat? These are critical questions and a successful bodybuilder must have a perfect understanding of nutrient partitioning. A successful bodybuilder is also aware of another cornerstone

MCT Oil is Really a Fat-Burning Fat
CapTri on Veggies
I love it when research confirms what we at Parrillo Performance have known for decades. Yet another study has shown that MCT oil really is a fat-burning fat. Of course, you know MCT oil as CapTri®, one of our flagship supplements. MCT oil was first formulated in the 1950s by the pharmaceutical industry for patients who had trouble digesting regular fats. It is processed mainly from coconut oil but does not have any of the adverse effects associated with tropical oils.
Here’s the latest, greatest news on MCTs: A 2008 study published in Journal of the American College of Nutrition found that substituting moderate amounts of MCT oil for other fats in a weight-loss program resulted in fat loss, including around the waist, with no adverse impact on cardiovascular risk

Iron Vic Speaks
Sissy and Hitler teach the worst exercises of all time…My most loved exercise…Mass without sacrificing speed
Free Weights
Hello Vic,
What weight training exercises do you consider worthless? I have a few candidates of my own. It blows my mind when I go to the local gym and see the ridiculous exercises that Personal Trainers are teaching trainees. I won’t even bring up the ridiculous Swiss Ball exercises, or the latest “off balance” exercises. What is up with this new breed of personal trainer?
