    Is training 2 days in a row ok?

    When you load a muscle with weights, it produces a signal which causes that muscle to grow. But this growth occurs over the first 32-48hrs only. the monday, wednesday, friday approach works well because you load the muscle again as soon as it stops growing. Thereby creating a situation where the...

    Planning my 5s diet

    i doubt that the diet you suggest will be dangerous to your health. it actually looks pretty decent. You are only 65kg, so you probably dont really need that much protein, but i doubt it matters. providing you train well, and monitor your progression, you should do fine on this diet.

    I hate dextrose

    that would make me vomit!!!!! i can bearly chug down 75g glucose its soo unbeliveably sickening. maybe you dilute it in 1litre or something? thinking about it, 150g of carbs plus ~60g of protein powder would take about a litre to dissolve in! wow. you must have a much greater tolerance for...

    soy protein

    sorry man. i wasnt laughing at you. there is no real evidence either way. Soy has proported benefits to health aswell as suggested negatives. mostly, these pros and cons are theoretical. unfortunatley you just have to decide yourself whether you want to eat it or not. Personally i wouldnt...

    How much protein powder per day?

    consuming 80g protein a day is easy! its only approximately 400g of fairy lean meat spread over the entire day! one chicken breast is probably around 25g protein. you would only have to eat 4 per day to get those 80grams. eat two for lunch in a sandwich, and two for dinner with rice, and youve...

    First time on a restricted 5 week schedule!!

    if you have been lifting for 5 years, you probably have a pretty good idea of what your 15, 10 and 5RM's are. so with only such a short space of time, i would just estimate. but you would be better underestimating than overestimating. its the load progression from session to session that counts...

    well it works that way in many animals, it has always been pretty obvious to me that the same must happen in humans.

    I hate dextrose

    glucose is overpoweringly sweet. it just leaves you feeling sick. maltodextrin is nothing like that. it actually doesnt taste sweet at all. when i mix it with whey i can bearly tell that its in there. it also mixes very easily. but it doesnt really matter what kind of sugar you consume (not...

    To cardio or not to cardio

    you dont have to go to THAT extent of sacrificing cardio for maximal gains. lower the cardio a little. Instead do two cardio sessions per week. One can be your HIIT, and the other your 30min at 80% MHR. On the other days, there is no need to be sedentary either.... go for a brisk 30min walk if...

    bottles or packets

    very true. although i would prefer a more economical bottled product, you have to go with what will sell more. Unfortunately at this early stage of your buisness, you dont really have a choice. (just out of interest, why would it be only a 2lb tub? that wouldnt last very long as a 'meal...

    is sat fat really an issue for atheletes

    thats my question., does it really matter if they are trans or hydrogenated or saturated or monounsaturated etc to a hard working lean athelete? For a sedentary office worker, i know the implications and suggested dangers. But do the same dangers apply to highly active athletes? (im sorry i...

    is sat fat really an issue for atheletes

    saturated fat has been implicated in various health problems such as cardiovascular disease and various cancers etc. in terms of health only, does it matter for lean athletes who are burning through their calories at an alarming rate?

    Help me with pre post w/o

    so all it meant was sugar is not required for amino acid uptake. ok got it. but what about the huge demand for calories to replenish glycogen? surely if the aim is to gain, then it would be wise to include carbs in workout shakes? would it not?
