    Myostatin Blockers

    give them a go by all means (especially since you have already paid for them) but from what i have read they are unlikely to do anything. In short, at this moment in time they are no more than commercial hype. For a start, im not aware of the existance of any HUMAN efficacy trials. You have...

    about eggs:

    the same theory does apply for meat. From my understanding, lightly cooking the meat aids protein digestion but overcooking lessens the quality of the protein. Cooking food is the equivilent to partial pre-digestion. Complex carbs are broken to simpler carbs by cooking (hence food gets sweeter...

    about eggs:

    actually i vaguely remember reading that the protein in the raw egg is not as easily digested or assimilated or something like that. Apparently 30-50% less protein is utilised by having it raw.

    Protein and Fat

    Actually i have found that gram for gram of protein, cottage cheese is very similar in price to driver. I worked out that driver protein costs approx. $0.06 per gram (according to nutritional info on HST 'products' website, driver is approx. 66% protein. assuming 1kg costs $40, then 66% of 1000g...

    HSN considers making prohormone

    it is now illegal to sell prohormones in the UK without prescription. As of 31/10/02 UK manufacturers are no longer able to sell them at all. However, US manufacturers are able to sell overseas to the UK providing they sell to private consumers....NOT for the retail market.

    15-Fold Increase in Insulin Activity

    no not at all....i didnt find it rude. I would like to find out more about this idea of insulin sensiitivity. It is something i have not come across before. Since insulin is merely a hormone, it cannot be the insulin itself that becomes more sensitive. therefore it must be the cells that...

    Hypertrophy

    no that statement is not wrong, but it is simplified. You cannot take that statement as a stand alone. Yes i agree, that other thread became confusing. Sometimes i feel like screaming, 'just tell me what to do to grow and ill do it!!!!!! but can you be consistent with what you tell me...

    Essential and Non-essential amino acids

    a possible explination that imedeately came to my mind was that the body is able to constantly produce non-essential amino acids. In otherwords, they are ALWAYS present in the blood stream and are ALWAYS available for use in the body at any time (providing adequate calorie intake at all times)...

    15-Fold Increase in Insulin Activity

    </span> <span =''> Actually you have to excuse my ignorance cause as im coming to slowly realise, i dont know everything. Do high insulin sensitivity and high insulin release not amount to the same effect?

    Hypertrophy

    spencer, we've answered the question as far as logical deduction can take it. if your calorie intake is drastically low, the protein you are taking in will not be used as muscle building blocks but burnt up to provide some energy to try fill the calorie defecit. you will NOT grow unless your...

    Hypertrophy

    </span> <span =''> energy is not measured in grams. What you said means absolutely nothing. 5g of total energy is used in a 60second set? 5g of what?...ATP?:confused:? Assuming you meant Kilocalories or kilojoules, how do you come to your figure of 5? its dependant upon SOOOOOO many factors.

    can eggs be microwaved ?

    as far as i understand (could be wrong) all the microwave does is create heat within the food by resonating water molecules. It would only lessen the nutritional quality of the food if that heat created was WAY to high. I dont know if this happens in the attempt to cook the food evenly (ie the...

    can eggs be microwaved ?

    you can MAKE 'poached' eggs in to microwave if thats what you mean. Crack the egg into a shallow bowl, put on low power setting. Go for 30secs then stop. then go in 10sec periods until done. if you dont do this the egg WILL explode. As for microwaving poached eggs that have already been...

    Hypertrophy

    heres a theory...bear with me while i get round to it. [B]An extremely simple explination of body metabolism:[B]* The energy required by ALL the cells in our bodies is derived from carbon compunds via a vast variety of biochemical pathways. These carbon compounds are delivered to our cells...
