    HST:CRE question

    I gained 25 lbs of muscle using HS:CRE!!!! Just kidding. I do use it though. For the money, it is the best deal. Good quality as well.

    Full (deep) squats or Parallel squats

    Some of you may find this bit of info pleasing. A study that looked at knee torque in relation to where the knees are during the squat found a very small increase in torque when the kness went over the toes on the eccentric. However, when the knees were kept back, the torque on the lumbar...

    Strange BF Caliper Results

    Are you testing yourself or having someone do it? And the advice about ramping up kcals temporarily may be just what you need to jump start leptin production and fire up that furnace. Unless you have great genetics, getting below 10% usually takes a more radical diet approach than just...

    How many carbs before a person enters ketosis?

    Generally, protein and fat are increased on ketogenic diets making up the loss of kcals from carbs. It is hard to gain a lot of mass when on a keto diet, because muscles tend to hold less water and are glycogen depleted nearly all the time.

    Will body metabolize EFAs if taken post-workout?

    Most, if not all, of the carbs ingested will be used to replenish muscle and liver glycogen. They will also ensure the amino acids you ingest will be used for muscle repair and not energy. Your bodyfat will be used to provide energy for your other body functions and increased metabolism, and...

    How many carbs before a person enters ketosis?

    This will vary widely depending on the individual. Of course metabolic diseases will influence the rate at which one enters ketosis. The amount of activity a person does will influence that greatly as well. I guess I am saying it hard to gauge on a general basis. For me, it takes less than...

    Will body metabolize EFAs if taken post-workout?

    Sure, but they will likely not help much except for repleting intramuscular fat. My guess (big guess) is that it may impede the use of fat from adipose tissue being your body uses blood lipids and adipose tissue as a fuel source post-workout. If you are providing fat through your diet, then...

    Artificial Sweeteners

    Its the caffeine and phosphorous I assume. I believe both can inhibit calcium absorption in high enough quantities, but have not kept up on that issue, sorry.

    LifeCircuit Equipment anyone?

    I have used these before and found them to be an excellent machine. I got extremely pumped when I used them. I am sure they can be manipulated to use with HST (you may have to have a progrssion chart for + and - ?). I think at the least they would be great for negs for someone training alone...

    Nitro-Surge

    Thank you for the reply Bryan. One of my clients is competing in the same show I am in April and he has been getting a lot of advice (not good either) from a guy in Kansas City that distributes the Nitro-Surge for a company named MG Development. I am trying to convince him that he is being...

    Nitro-Surge

    Thanks for the reply micmic. I forgot to say that nitroxydione is the trademark name, not an actual compound. The only thing I got from it was that it was an extract from the maguay plant and it worked through a different mechanism than the AKG type pills. Still waiting on those references...

    Vinegar for Better Glycogen Repletion?

    I find this thread to be very interesting and exciting considering I am prepping for my first bb comp of the season. Replenishing glycogen after workouts can be tough on low carb days, but maybe vinegar is just the thing I need. I'll give it a shot. If it turns out that it does help, then it...

    Ephedrine / Caffeine - ECA/Thermogenic

    Sure, ephedrine may have a nutrient partioning effect and the ECA stack may help you keep fat levels from climbing too high while eating more.

    no2

    I bought a bottle of NOX2 by Pinnacle and I used it for a few weeks. Well, I got so big my shirt ripped off!! I wish. I did not notice much more than a placebo effect, i.e. a better pump cause I was more excited to train witht the thought of this thing working. It did not.
