    No muscle fatigue?

    Not totally, but relying solely on perceived fatigue and adjusting your training according to it is not the best course of action, in my opinion. You'll be sacrificing the most crucial principle (progressive loading) and making it less effective to satisfy your need to feel something that's not...

    Omega3,from pills to oil

    I've never seen any fixed weight/omega 3 intake ratio so I'm not sure. I take up to 6 gr of EPA/DHA which would be 20 caps of yours. I recommend cod liver oil, jsut take one tablespoon per day and you'll get around 2 gr of both, which should be ok.

    Omega3,from pills to oil

    2 grs of fish oil? How's the EPA/DHA content of those pills? If it's normal then that's very little. 10 pills is more like it.

    Calorie restriction

    Yeah, I am aware of that. I guess what we're trying to do is minimizing the damage as much as possible. I actually still haven't understand what they mean with "insulin signaling", which his supposed to be some kind of event triggered by insulin in fat cells that is involved in this...

    coral calcium: what's the real deal?

    I actually saw an infomercial with this guy yesterday. He was talking about a life expectancy of up to 120 years, great results from cancer pacients, MS, aids, etc..... Unbelievable. Even if it has a better absorption rate than calcium carbonate how important can that be? I can get 100 gr of...

    Calorie restriction

    One problem I can think of is this avoidance of BMR supression. I mean, if you're doing it for the health beneffits then isn't this supression supposed to play a important role in the life extension properties of caloric restriction? I've seen researchers say in a documentary on discovery chanel...

    To cardio or not to cardio

    I know quite a few people are able to do cardio and still gain mass at the same time, but to this day all cardio gave me was trouble, it does get me lean, but muscle also vanishes really quick. This time I'm not going to do much of it and I'm increasing my calories for two or three weeks while...

    Calorie restriction

    Or maybe something like 1000 cals above mantenance for the 24 hours after your workout and 1000 below for the next 24 hours untill your next session. I might try this. Anyway, report back to us about your results in what concerns muscle preservation or even gains.

    To cardio or not to cardio

    One thing, Bryan mentioned exercise, and a HST routine is exercise. Doing cardio or not is an option and by no means required to get lean, though it surely can be a valuable addition to your fat loss strategy. I find cardio boring as hell and it makes me lose muscle in me legs really quick, so...

    Alternated fasting and overfeeding might have the same benefits as calorie restriction

    Older lifters and Roids

    Article by Bryan at mesomorphis. That's all I can come up with. Look around there, might be some other stuff I haven't seen.

    is sat fat really an issue for atheletes

    A distinction has to be made between, monosaturated, polysaturated and saturated fats which are the natural ones, for the lack of a better word and trans and hydrogenated fats which are man made aberrations that have no place in anyones diet, as far as I'm concerned. I don't know what are the...

    is sat fat really an issue for atheletes

    What do you mean? If you're asking if it's ok to have a reasonable amount of saturated fat in your diet then I would answer yes, but we would have to define what reasonable is... Cutting all saturated fat is a bad ideia but having most of your fat as saturated is even worst probably. Now trans...

    Inner thighs

    Did that some time ago. Not half as fun as squats, seriously.

    Unbelievable

    The laws are here but there's simply no fiscalization, the EEC has already warned Portugal many times. Everytime they perform tests to our meat they find some kind of drugs. It was a old man and his daughter that entered the hospital with a racing hearth beat and increased body temperature after...

    And it will lower cortisol too. I think this alone justifies it.
