level table spoon of what? molten lead, water, salt?? grams or millilitres?

the simple answer is that they are necessary IF you are not getting them in your daily diet. The supplements you list are essential, meaning that the body requires them for optimal functioning but is not able to produce them. Thus they must be obtained from your diet. If you have taken them and...

A lack of dietry protein creates serious, often fatal problems! i take it you mean inadequate for hypertrophy ;) the simple answer is lack of growth! If you are not growing despite using HST priciples, you should have a serious look at your diet. 1)Are you getting enough total daily calories...

when squatting/leg pressing, you want to take a very deep breath on the negative portion of the lift, either immedeately before or during the movement. Either way, your lungs should be full in the bottom position. You also want to hold your abs 'tight' throughout the lift. Both these will...

yes, what about citric acid supplementation?

Is that really what you want post workout? Surely you want the glucose available to the muscle cell for fuel at this time. Am i missing something?

plenty of info in past threads. Use the search tool. Also, I cant remember for sure, but im am certain this will be covered somewhere in the FAQ. Besides, this belongs in the supplements forum

the 7th Feb issue of science, vol.299 pp846-852 (the magazine not journal) contains a section on obesity. I remember reading a review of the molecular signals the body uses for bodyweight regulation. It focused on appetite regualtion pathways. Also new drug developments. Not sure if that might...

interesting thought. Apparently, CLA is 'burnt' primarily before the eccess makes it to the fat cells. So perhaps eating larger doses would ensure that more gets to the fat cells. perhaps taking lots of small doses spread throughout the day would simply get burt up. Anyone?

no ive tried that!!!! The sulphur smell is too much to bear in drink form! After a couple of sips you will just throw it away. Scrambled, boiled, poached, fried (just enough oil so they dont stick). Omelete with any filling. Eggs and ham. Eggs and bacon. eggs and turkey. eggs with plenty of...

generally people here reckon about 1gram of protein per lb of bodyweight split over 3-6 meals everyday is all thats necessary. On workout days you should add your pre and post workout drink (totaling approx 40grams protein) which will up that figure a little. I dont think its necessary to go any...

Try explaining that one to the cops!

look...... i dont see the problem. Refined carbs are man made. Products that contain wheat, sugar etc are all man made. Even the humble potato is recent in the history of human consumption. So why is everyone on this bandwagon of Atkins being unhealthy? Perhaps he goes too far with his...

Its no new information. Its merely a name change! eg we say 2500kcals is maintainance, so 3000Kcals is excess required for growth. he says 3000kcals is 'maintainance' and thats all you need to grow on. You still need 3000kcals to grow on. Think about it. The aim of any weight lifter/BB is not...

since this thread became so pointless anyway, ill add something else irrelevant: I take it you mean 'transcription factors'? Ive never known them to be called 'initiation factors' before. Hey maybe that will open up a whole new region of previously unread papers for me! you learn something new...

I write this with reference to many of the recent posts about pre/post workout shakes. i think we are all getting carried away with the benefit of workout shakes. their only purpose is to 'ice the cake'. They are NOT the be all and end all of hypertrophy!!! You really think it makes so much...

i think gene has made some valid points which, for the sake of fact, should be addressed. However, i think in practical terms it doesnt make a blind bit of difference!!!!

bear in mind that the whey you buy can be anywhere from 20%-80% protein and still be classed as 'whey concentrate'!!! Did it have a nutritional information sticker? assuming it tells the truth, you can detremine the % protein. I bought a 5kg bucket of unflavoured whey....it was good for about a...
