Nutrition is a topic that interests me a lot. There was a post that got me thinking about this topic: http://www.professionalmuscle.com/fo…ead.php?t=9900

With the advent of Atkins Diet, many people are into the high protein – high fat/low carb thing.

We’ve been eating most fats long before heart disease and cancer was prevelant. I’m a strong believer that it’s the artificial fats (the one’s that everyone told you were good for you – like margarine or mayo) such as hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated (trans fats) – are the ones doing the damage – and they’re in A TON of stuff we eat.  Read more...

Ok ladies and gentlemen please bare with me because this post is going to be somewhat longer than I want it to be, but there is a lot to cover here. Most of you have heard me ranting and raving about the patent drugs out there taking priority over other non patented drugs and un-FDA regulated supplements. I have made the arguement that testosterone therapy is not taken seriously because it is NOT a profit center for pharmaceutical companies. And without the pharmaceutical companies generating MAJOR profits on new drugs then ‘they’ and the FDA has less fininaces flowing through their hands thus less power. Don’t think for a second that the FDA is not influenced by the BIG money that these large companies throw around. This is one of my key arguements in the de-scheduling of anabolics. And that is, that T-therapy amoung other AAS would treat a broad array of ailments, that now current and much higher priced patented drugs are now in serving. Have I made some sense so far? Do you guys and gals see my point? Let me show you another sample. And this is a good topic to shed new light on with the recent happening with the attack on Ephedra, Prohormones and DHEA products. This will tie in well with all the factors. And I’ll make my point as I go. Lets first look at one of the biggest profit generators of all time in the pharmaceutical field. Lets take a look first at the time, energy and resources placed in this drug. And it’s one you have all heard of and probably even half of you have used. PROZAC.

Calorie Restriction Mimetic number 1: Metformin

One of the most important CRM’s is the anti-diabetic drug metformin, which modulates insulin action. In order to reduce blood glucose, insulin has to be produced in sufficient amounts, but it also has to bind to insulin receptors on the cells in the body. Aging causes an increased difficulty in the smooth operation of this process, and there is a situation whereby insulin cannot effectively bind to the receptors, therefore it does not perform its duties properly. This is called ‘increased peripheral resistance’ to insulin, and it is a cardinal sign in diabetes and aging. Drugs which help mitigate this problem have existed for several years, and new ones are being studied at present.  Read more... (1403 words, estimated 5:37 mins reading time)

PART ONE

If you are like most people I see in gyms who are seeking to increase muscle mass you
will have done so by attempting to increase load in a linear manner. In other words you
will have put a little more weight on the bar (or attempted to) every week and waited for
your body to grow. That’s all well in good to an extent but if you have stuck with this for
more than about 6 weeks you will have watched as progress slowed dramatically or even
screeched to a halt. At this point your local bodybuilding guru will have told you to
“switch up” your exercises and then begin again to add a little weight each week once
again. And that readers is popular bodybuilding training in a nutshell.  Read more... (3290 words, estimated 13:10 mins reading time)

Part I

Among the most beneficial and effective supplements in any sports nutrition program are branched chain amino acids. These are the essential aminos leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Although these supplements have been around for a long time and the scientific understanding in the exercise performance benefits of BCAA supplementation is rich many people don’t know exactly how they exert their effects or how and when to use them properly.

Taurine is one of the most highly underrated supplement known to the chemically enhanced, hardcore, extreme athlete. Especially those cutting, on clen or tren, or most any diuretic that flushes water or your electrolytes.

General
Taurine was first isolated from ox bile in 1827 where it is found in high concentration. (Tiedemann F., Gmelin L., 1827: Einige neue Bestandteile der Galle des Ochsen, Ann. Physik. Chem., 9, 326-337). The bovine connection (latin name “bos taurus”) clearly explains the descriptive name “Taurine” was chosen.  Read more... (574 words, estimated 2:18 mins reading time)

Bodybuilding is kind of a chain reaction. When you train one muscle the growth / training effect will filter down to other muscles. This is what’s known as the indirect effect. When one muscle grows the entire musculature area grows to a lesser degree. The indirect effect is the bodies way of keeping everything in Balance. Even if all you did was squats after a few months you would find that your arms have grown as well. An average 150 pound man starting a squat program might gain 20-30 pounds but the muscle wont just be in his legs, it will be all over the body he would find his back, delts, and arms even the chest has all grown larger. The larger the muscle that’s growing or the greater the degree of growth the greater the indirect effect will be.  Read more... (633 words, estimated 2:32 mins reading time)

I have received a lot of heat lately about my preference for Nolvadex over Clomid, which I hold for all purposes of use (in the bodybuilding world anyway); as an anti-estrogen, an HDL (good) cholesterol-supporting drug, and as a testosterone-stimulating compound. Most people use Nolvadex to combat gynecomastia over Clomid anyway, so that is an easy sell. And for cholesterol, well, most bodybuilders unfortunately pay little attention to this important issue, so by way of disinterest, another easy opinion to discuss. But when it comes to using Nolvadex for increasing endogenous testosterone release, bodybuilders just do not want to hear it. They only seem to want Clomid. I can only guess that this is based on a long rooted misunderstanding of the actions of the two drugs. In this article I would therefore like to discuss the specifics for these two agents, and explain clearly the usefulness of Nolvadex for the specific purpose of increasing testosterone production.  Read more...
