Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Listening to the podcasts and reading the sites I hear a recurring theme that we're all pretty similar structurally at the same height. Is that true of the width of the hips as well or can there be great variance with that, outside of just bodyfat distribution?
Thanks,

I’m honestly not sure. Not my area of expertise. Ask Barban or Pilon.
Plenty of before and afters on the blog:
Are the AI Rage workouts included in the AI 2.0 package? I ordered the system in April of last year and, returning to AI after a much-too-long break, and I can't seem to find them on my computer. How can I gain access to these?

I wouldn’t slow down… unless you’re having elbow problems You’re bicep growth will likely reach a peak and fall off, giving your tris a chance to catch up.
They may be something you have to focus on as well. For instance, I get huge growth out of everything I can’t see in the mirror. Back, shoulders, glutes, hamstrings, calves, triceps yet my chest and biceps really lag on me. Everyone is different.
Take advantage of technology to help self check.
Text over calls when you’re emotional, so you can pace and think about what you’re saying rather than getting caught up in the moment.
Ultimately, LEAD. Take control. Don’t ask, tell. Things like “I’ve been wanting to try (restaurant, bar, etc) tonight. You should come with.”
You know when something’s wuss because you’re not being assertive or authentic and by that weird feeling you get in your stomach. Also, as an aside, there’s some interesting research that suggests that crap feeling is actually tied to your test levels temporarily decreasing.
Pretty good, although Bill has a new program out called “Transformations” that’s more the next incarnation.
P.s I don't plan on fasting for a month just curious.
Build muscle on ESE => yes
Constant calorie def => depends on the aggressiveness of the diet
Slightly over would be “better”, just because you have more energy to work with (working out hard in a deficit, you gas out earlier)
A month long fast, no.
It depends on how aggressive your deficit is, and at what stage your fat loss is at. If you’re getting close to your golden waist, with an aggressive deficit, you’ll lose fat and muscle.
Also, if you’re more aggressive, you generally have less “push” in the gym, which effects “work”, which effects growth.
So yes it’s possible, you just have to have a much more patient approach to dropping fat.
All AI workouts require at least dumbbells. If you’re looking for something you can do bodyweight wise, the guys at ShapeShifter have some good things.
Nope :)
