I think that if it were possible to significantly increase glycogen without drugs people wouldnt take insulin to get bigger. The only thing I can think of is to just try and maximize hGH secretion because hGH stimulate insulin secretion. Stiumuli that promote secretion of hGH are decreased...

I wouldnt worry about putting stress on your kidneys from eating too much protein. One of the functions of the kidneys is the excretion of WASTES and foreign substances. Through urine the kidneys excrete wastes that have NO useful function in the body. These could be wastes as a result of...

I know IGF stands for Insulinlike growth factors but does anyone know what IGFBP stands for? From the study it seems like training to failure causes the liver to inhibit hGH production which stimulates tissues to synthesize and secrete IGF and not training to failuire cuts down on the cortisol...

Put some Muscle Milk in that fat free milk. Mmmm it tastes so good, you wont be disapointed. Or drink 1% to get some more calories in. What exactly are the rules to the challenge? If it is just weight than I suggest going on a hardcore bulk. And if you have to maintain your body fat percentage...

When I train in the morning I like to have Muscle Milk Mocha Joe(which I beleive is the only flavor that contains Caffeine) protein shakes. Wakes me up and gives me energy for the gym. Joe G

I was reading and ran into this thought it was interesting. "Another example of a local hormone is the gas nitric oxide (NO), which is released by endothelial cells lining blood vessels. NO causes relaxation of smooth muscle fibers in blood vessels, which in turn causes vasodilation...

I guess it depends at what you consider "natural". Asprin and other NSIADs (nonsteroidial anti-inflammatory drugs) inhibit a key enzyme in in prostaglandin synthesis without affecting synthess of the leukotrienes. hGH on the other hand stimulate liver, muscle, bone, and other tissues...

You probably dont have to do either A or B, at 4 cals per gram 180 grams of protein only brings you to 720 calories for the day. You still have 1680 calories that you can eat that will constitute other foods. Joe G

Be sure to be very very very very patient with her. Changing your throwing mechanics is something that takes time. It is so hard because she has been throwing the "wrong" way for so long. I also think that it is something that should be stressed more in the off season as well. When...

What I meant by over the top is pretty much exactly how you described her mechanics. You said she brings the ball behind her head and pushes the ball. This is almost always what happens when you throw "over the top". By over the top I mean her elbow is too high so shes kind of throwing...

o yea, In terms of resistance training..... We would always do rotator cuff exercises after our work outs in the gym. This was more to keep us "loose" than to pick up any additional velocity. You can take a dumbell, with your elbows tucked into your sides and just move the weights...

I don't think that resistance training will help much with increasing velocity. Do you want to increase her velocity for pitching or for just throwing? Because that its very different. I played baseball and college (and I dont know anything about how to throw underhand) But this is what I...

Giovanni, if you are still skinny from 12 years of training I think there is a problem there. I dont know exactly what you mean by skinny however. In addition to what Joe Muscle said about not trying to look like the guys in Flex magazine, you dont want to try to look like "Blade&quot...

Fausto, interesting that you agree with Totentanz 100% but you disagree with the hamma when he makes the exact same point. From the begining of this thread icars and the hamma have tried to make a point that there is a difference between steroid use and abuse. Jvroig apparently doesnt believe...

You mean 180 right. A 360 would put him right back on track hehe

JVROIG- with incredibly ignorant comments like those I wouldnt argue with you about this if you gave me 200 dollars an hour. Joe G oops i forgot one

Seems to me like your friends are wasting their time. Joe G

keep up the good work

I find that if I take time off from squating the first few sessions back my lower back will bother me a little too. I would just work through it if I were you. But remember it might take time the lower back (erectors) are the slowest healing muscle in the human body. Joe G

Frying your central nervous system is right. While doing Heavy Duty I always felt either tired and drained or annoyed that I had to wait another 4 days to go to the gym again. I made some strength gains from Heavy Duty but nothing very significant and I never put on any weight or any size. I...
