so after all the increadible amount of fuss that has been made over the importance of consuming EFAs...mainly in in the form of fish oils...there is actually no point in supplementing with fish oil or concentrated EPA/DHA blends? So then two questions: 1)How do you get adequate LA and ALA in...

hi there. its been a while. Im a little tired, so maybe i missed something. I dont quite get how you can guarentee that you'll acheive the new 5RM...especially every 2 weeks? Also, how do you determine what your new RM will be? Maybe you can keep cycling the same weights based on the same RM...

For those who are interested in advances in gene 'therapy' and its implications for 'gene doping', check out the recent publication in nature: nature news RNAi is technique used to 'interfere' with the normal expression of a particular gene. In effect it reduces the amount of transcription of...

double post...sorry

by the same token, WPI is typically 85% so that means that for a 4lb tub you get only 3.4lbs the rest being garbage. WPI gives you only 8% extra protein yet you have to pay a lot more than 8% extra for it. nothing wrong with WPC!

I am curious to know if anyone has any experience with using micro increments for strength gains. lets take someone with a bench press 5RM of 100kg. When this person adds 2.5kg (102.5kg) he can only make 3reps. This lifter is then stuck at 102.5kg for many weeks trying to make 5reps before he...

the problem is normal and follows normal circadian rhythm. However you are probably adding to problem with a lack of sleep. Try to get 8hours a night. As others have already mentioned, the types of food you eat at lunch time might be adding to the problem. Try to eat high protein, lowish fat and...

I had a read through the DASH stuff. I was curious why they are so anti meat? They recommend less than 2 3oz servings of meat/poultry and fish per day. Pehaps its the high fat content? But what is wrong with chicken breasts and fish? Sodium content? The DASH diet is basically a low fat, low...

thanks for the encouragement. ill be sure to pass it on! :D

I wish to help a 55 year old man who wants to reduce blood pressure without the use of anti-hypertensive medication. The doctor suggested that a lifestyle change might well be enough in this particular situation, and will reassess in 6months time. This person is, by my estimations, about...

deadlifts work the upper back and rear delts very hard. (and to avoid further confusion, i am not talking about the lats. if you want to work the lats, then add chins into this routine). In my opinion this will provide balance to all that benching

deadlifts

I think one of the big questions is what is it about deep squatting that is supposed to be 'dangerous'? Is it really the shear forces in the knee joint?...and are these forces really increased even if excellent form is adhered to? I agree that you are not doing your knees any favours if you...

from even a power lifting view point, that guy in the second photo is much lower than he needs to be to have the lift deemed legit. You just need your hip joint to be visably lower than the knee joint, thats all. The only reason i can think to go any lower is so that you can take advantage of...

you wont get any drastic strength increases with swole v2. even if you did it wouldnt matter to HST. Stick to the prescribed loads and dont increase the weight just because your strength increased. You should know that you are wasting your money with swole v2. it wont give you any extra...

High reps that cause the muscle to experience that burning sensation (ie 15s) have several benefits. The burning sensation is caused when the metabolic by-products from the respiring muscle accumulate. These metabolic by-products have some direct and some indirect effects on the local muscle...

you will have to give us more details than that for anyone to make a decent comment. Does this book propose that fish oil is bad? or simply irrelevant? what reasons does it give for its comments? The general concensus amongst practically everyone is that getting more essential fatty acids...

aaron is our resident nutrition expert. his comments are as good as they come.

you bunch of loonies!

i know your english is not very good, but could you please reread what i wrote before. You should be getting most of your vitamins, minerals and other nutrient goodies through your diet anyway. If you are relying on big vitamin dosages then there is something wrong with your diet which you...
