More from Chris Masterjohn in another in-depth discussion regarding nutrition! There is a reason why we have done 4 different interviews with Chris. He is a brilliant PhD.

Chris Masterjohn (part 3)

I think it’s better to get nutrition from foods than supplements, but there is also room for supplementation. In general, I don’t think poor absorption of nutrients from supplements is the primary reason for this. The major problem, rather, is that the interactions between nutrients are complex and whole foods are most likely far more than the sums of their parts.

November 2013: Joe DeFranco Q & A

by Matt Meinrod on November 23, 2013

I know a lot of highly qualified trainers that just can’t seem to get or retain clients. It’s not that they lack the knowledge required to help people reach their goals, but they seem to lack the communication skills. Something just seems to be missing. Talk to me about the psychology of training athletes/clients. How important is a trainer’s communication skills compared to his/her understanding of exercise science and program design?

August 2013: Interview with Josh Bryant

by Matt Meinrod on August 23, 2013

My passion is coaching hardcore iron heads. I train some of the strongest and most muscular athletes in the world in person at Metroflex Gym in Arlington, Texas, and via the Internet. I have Master’s degree in Exercise Science. I did my first powerlifting meet at 14 years old. Even though football and track were my primary sports in high school, I always lifted heavy and trained like a powerlifter.

June 2013: Jeremy Loenneke Q & A

by Matt Meinrod on June 23, 2013

I basically began training to get stronger for wrestling back in high school. I started looking through all of the muscle magazines for tips to get bigger and stronger and that’s how I came across the sport of bodybuilding. After digging a little deeper I came across the articles of Layne Norton and that’s really who turned me onto science and natural bodybuilding.

May 2013: Ken “Skip” Hill

by Matt Meinrod on May 23, 2013

I have been training or about 28 years, competing for about 20 and working to get bodybuilders into top condition for almost 12 years.

I started out like most others by falling in love with the sport at a young age and wanting to be as big and ripped as I could be.

April 2013: Dr. Layne Norton

by Matt Meinrod on April 23, 2013

I am excited to announce we have the well know Dr. Layne Norton with us this month for our expert interview. Layne is well known in our industry and is an impressive combination of text book smart, and street smart. This guy trains his butt off and also has a really cool educational background I will let him share with you.

Chris Masterjohn (Part 2)

Thanks again Chris for taking the time to do this interview with us. Since our readers know who you are now based on last month’s issue, let’s dive right in.

JOHN: So let’s talk cholesterol. Can you start by giving our readers some basics on what cholesterol is, and does in your body?

Chris Masterjohn (Part 1)

At the most basic level my goal is to wake up each morning, thank God for the new day, and make the most of each of the moments in that day to do my best in whatever lies before me, and especially to make myself of service to others.
