C4 is pretty standard. If you're looking for more of a kick k'otic is intesne. I just started back on bullnox, which is one of my favorite preworkouts, this is my go-to for volume training

Ty guys for the adds!

Over 3 years later the situation has changed but the fire never died. Still battling

I need more friends...ya'll can feel free to add me

You're reading skills a brilliantly lacking. I did not indicate any specific study saying manipulating specifically GH or Insulin yielded a 1-5% increase. What i said was there was a SECTION in a report done at UCLA (which was probably on steroids) where the authors discussed how many scientific findings/conclusions often…

Hypocrisy: 1. a pretense of having a virtuous character, moral or religious beliefs or principles, etc., that one does not really possess. 2. a pretense of having some desirable or publicly approved attitude. I fail to see that on my part. Although you adamantly proclaim to be the second. I fail to see how we are "more…

Erm, what hypocrisy? And insulting science? No, I said stop with the cultist belief in it. The story of science has, and continues to change as I pointed out. The world was once flat remember? Ok that might be a tad over-doing it. Do you know there exists literature by "scientists" and MD's stating that Androgenic Anabolic…

Please, stop with the cultist belief in so-called scientists...their story changes every few years with "more data" and "new observations" They always begin their story-changing with the phrase "recent research suggests" or "recent studies show" and then will appear at midway "contrary to a previous study". Please stop…

I'm not insulting you or building myself up by referring to your age, merely pointing out you have little to no experience in what you're talking about, whereas I have been practicing what I preach for a decade. You statement that manipulating naturally occurring hormones through diet is of no use is completely false.…

Why are you encouraging him? He's said nothing of merit. You yourself have only contributed to this conversation that a caloric excess will lead to weight gain...

theryan244, according to his profile, is a 6'4" bean pole. He's also 21, meaning he hasn't seen or done **** in life besides go to school. Obviously, he can read books, and picks and chooses bro-science above all else. All of your "research" is based on poor control groups that don't fairly represent the bodybuilding or…

I'm not sure how you arrived at that conclusion. I'll agree that a calorie surplus will cause you to hold extra weight... But if protein and healthy fats caused one to gain fat...why do guys eat ground turkey and nuts, and cut out carbs during contest prep, a time when the goal is to rid the body of fat stores? Why can I…

Read these two statements and realize these are the dumbest things I have seen posted on this website. Neither of these even remotely makes sense, and goes against what every successful, experienced athlete will tell you. Understanding and manipulating natural hormonal levels through food and supplements is paramount in…

Exactly. I used to scoff at the idea of "alternative medicine". The more I learn, the bigger fan of it I become

Screw doctors. I hurt my knee a year ago after leg pressing 720lbs (which isn't all the much). First doc ordered up xrays, said I was fine, and told me to re-evaluate what I was doing with my life. Second doc, a sports injury specialist, ordered up some MRI's, said everything looked good. Suggested ibuprofen or alieve for…

They're ok. Good for some stuff, crappy for other stuff. Neat to use on curls, utterly useless for pulling motions. So ya, they're cool to mix in on arm day but otherwise mine just take up space in my bag

Oh and just to super clairfy.... By bodybuilders (that advocate the 6+ meals a day) I meant guys that are 250+ in stage form. Ya know, the type of people who need absurd amounts of food to be that big... Not MFP guys who are 160 and want to cut before they bulk.
-
Guys, it's the gym, not nutrition class. Bodybuilders advocate 6+ meals a day so they can eat 5,000+cals a day without feeling like we all do after thanksgiving dinner after each meal. Seriously, who wants to do anything after a 2kcal meal? Nobody. It's not rocket science I don't know why ya'll make a big complicated issue…

End 2012 6' 186lbs AM weigh in, 190 at night Currently training 2 days on 1 day off 45min-2 hours per session. Last max Bench: 315x2 Squat: 425x1 Dead: 405x1 So 1145lbs total

Protein absorption: I was referring the the time frame after a workout during which your body more readily absorbs proteins. This discovery is what prompted the "post workout shake". My point originally being that meal timing can be manipulated for one's benefit. Carb timing can be used for performance/appearance…
-
Meal timing...proven to work. See any form of carb cycling/timing for proof, as well as protein absorbtion. Meal frequency, debatable and entirely goal dependent. If you want to be a 250+ lb bodybuilder, the only way you can get the amount of calories required to do that is eating every 2-3 hours. If you want to be a buck…

Ever wonder why you see the biggest guys in the gym sit down taking slow deep breathes between sets? It's cuz they can't stand up and might lose whatever is in their stomach, literally. And I know 99% of people find puking after a set or workout to be abhorrent or fainting/getting real light headed to be excessive. But…
-
I find it hard to believe much of it is wrong considering that knowledge is the foundation of every program out there today. Nobody is talking about every set to absolute failure. At most 1 set per exercise can/should be done till failure. Any more than that you're talking negative returns for sure.
-
Don't forget though, carb back loading works (best) when you train in the late afternoon/evening so that your carb intake post workout will spike your insulin levels before you sleep (when your body repairs). However, it should be noted that carbs at night reduce growth hormone secretion. Like many other diets, it's def…

So common knowledge in the powerlifting and bodybuilding communities over the last 50+ years is wrong? You mean the guys that I've learned from that have won national titles don't know what they're doing? Must be because they don't make youtube videos. Seriously, where do people get this from? You don't get sore when your…
-
As other's have said, back off the cardio some. Lifting heavy you'll burn calories both while lifting and while recovering, and will allow your body to use what food you do it to repair itself rather than burn it through cardio. The thing with lifting heavy that is hard to learn and can only be learned by learning your…
-
If you lift heavy, you will break down your muscles. If your muscles break down, you will be sore. This is how building muscle works. But your right, somebody who's gained 50lbs of muscle over the last 6 years staying in single digit body fat the entire time must know nothing about training. Many people don't hurt because…
