Actually I would say that vegetables (not starchy ones) are what's really necessary. Broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, cabbage, spinach, dandelion, amaranth leaves, parsley, zucchini, tomato, celery, artichoke, onion, garlic, cucumber, eggplant, leek, dill, okra, pepper... that kind of stuff...

Theoretically again, you are correct. But I insist that it will lead to the "why-not-me" syndrome: - "Mom, why did you buy John a chocolate but I can't have one ?" - "It is bad for your teeth" - "Yes, but John got it!" So, the aspiring bodybuilder will...

I understand your question like this: Case A: volume X, maintenance calories Y, eat Y+500 Case B: volume X/2, maintenance calories Y-500, eat Y Will B result in muscle growth ? Of course it will. Will it be comparable to the growth of the case A (muscle/fat ratio) ? Perhaps, especially if...

Well, as I said in the other thread, yes, in a perfect future world prohormones would be banned after drugs, alcohol and smoke. Why do it after and not now ? This is not a matter of scientific logic, it is a matter of social logic. When you don't tax rich people as you should, you can't tax...

Oh, but I don't blame goverments! Goverments are us! How can one blame them when so many people drink and smoke with their own free and well-informed will ? Goverments are doing nothing more than following the society. Smoke but especially alcohol, are very much tied to the way we think and...

Education is not the point, what if hormones were legal ? Everybody knows that they have to read the leaflet and all possible dangers are mentioned. But they would inject all they could. Even with perfect education, prohormone use wouldn't be affected. The same happened in the 70s with...

Well, I don't know... you tell me... Umm... let's see... optional health insurance... what would happen if: - An uninsured guy (could be your brother) lies seriously injured on the highway... do we leave him there ? - An uninsured guy injures your child (which you have chosen to leave...

Try pec-dec, it should isolate the pecs pretty well for those who tend to use shoulders & biceps during flies or shoulders and triceps during presses.

It's not so simple... should we also abolish obligatory health insurance (for most countries) or fines for safety belts etc ? It may be your right to do what you wish with your body, but it is also my right to refuse to pay for restoring the health of some idiots who like to run at 250km/h on...

I will perform here another of my (usual) huge mind leaps and I will quote a reviewer of the "Walking with prehistoric beasts" DVD in Amazon.com: So, to make the surrealistic connection: In a world where: - alcohol and smoke rule - fluoxetine has been prescribed and taken more...

"Metabolic typing diet" ? Please don't spend your valuable time with such ridiculous stuff. It's only too dissapointing to think how many possibilities are there for hopeful future diet gurus: - Eat according to your eye color - Eat according to your height - Eat according to your...

Essentially, cycling is unavoidable: Meals is cycling. We don't live on intravenous feeding :). Even if you take creatine everyday, its concetration in a certain tissue would fluctuate throughout the day. Same with all things. Safety is just one aspect. Progression is another. Without...

Well, I don't always cycle everything but at least I feel guilty when I don't :D Also, cycling isn't necessarily an on/off switch, it may include higher/lower doses. Nor it is necessarily month on/month off. It may be day on/day off. Supplement-wise, I don't take much, so there's not much to...

I believe in cycling everything, just a principle of mine, but where are the references for the above proving that: 1. Receptors become less receptive ? 2. Receptor reactivation occurs while creatine is still high ?

You can do it, but the combinations are too numerous to mention, visit USDA which has an amino acid profile for legumes, seeds etc and compare that to a meat's profile. You'll have to do a little more planning, but you will eventually find a few combinations that you like and can prepare...

The problem is that 95% of the weight training population think they belong to the other 5% :D

If we're talking about giving a certain protein vs its exact profile as free-form aminos, I wouldn't expect any difference.

There could be lots of answers to this question, depending on the aminoacid, etc. The vast majority of specific free-form aminoacid actions would be related to intestinal absorption and its mechanism, since in the portal circulation we can find only free amino acids (unless you are a baby &lt...

I don't mean to nullify anyone's experience and its value, just want to show that such talk leads nowhere. Imagine if Arnold were a member of this forum, along these lines he could post something like this: "It's obvious that none of you has ever competed for a Mr. Olympia, well, I have...

Anecdotal experiences as arguments in this forum are generally as useful as a knob on a soccer ball, unless it is all we have. And in this case you respond to arguments with anecdotal experiences. Ok, then I say that it is possible to go to 3% bf without BCAA, without diet and in fact by only...
