You all push for high-gi carbs, dextrose, waxy maize, sugar, all that because it promotes insulin secretion the fastest and refill glycogen, right? That is your reasoning for consuming dextrose over pasta or rye bread immediately PWO, right? So when I say, eat fruit after a workout since that...

This is retarded. I never said "Don't eat carbs after a workout." What I said was you can get them in however you want. What I also said was some of those carbs should be fructose. Fructose is metabolized by the liver. It is the fastest way to produce liver glycogen. Really, can you...

Are you looking to start a discussion? Because I'm not interested. No one is going to put a gun to another's head and say DO THIS ONLY. Eat all the meat you want, I don't care. Most people don't even get 1g/lb. Let people experiment. That's fine. A pound of lean muscle is about 600...

There is muscle glycogen and liver glycogen. You can't just consume "carbs." You have to make sure some of those carbs you eat are fruit, especially after a workout. I don't care about what specific things people eat around their workouts or what kind of crazy supplements they buy, to each his...

CarlitosWay, this guy is a lost cause. He's going to do what he wants with his body.

I don't believe in all that, but I'm not going create a discussion. I would just suggest that you get a good amount of fructose in post work-out, regardless of whatever else you do. Preferably from fruit.

cffrmw, Sorry your thread got taken over by pointless bickering. Espi knows what he is talking about. I personally would listen to him.

I don't get your point either. My coach told me that back before the discussion of genetics was common place in athletic circles, guys simply did not focus on this stuff. They just worked to be the best. The people who have a tendency to think that others exhibiting an above average...

I agree. For a person who has no injury issues and what not, if he or she is squatting, then they must strive to hit below parallel.

Relying on more than one person is a recipe for disaster. Learn from everyone, but only have one plan/philosophy. I have a coach, he's a USAW senior international coach and I'm lucky to have him. My form is good, and I'm not interested in proving that to anyone. But this is about giving...

When a math professor makes a mistake, another math professor does not magically appear to correct him. His students correct him. Just because I don't have a PhD in math does not mean I can't tell a mathematician that 2+2=4 and not 5. Regardless, I don't care how other people train. I only...

Eat as much as you can. If you want to get stronger and bigger, and can't get food in India, then move. Just kidding. Just do what you can with what you have. That is the man's way. If you do the linear progression program and you find yourself unable to add weight to the bar for the very...

It is easy to teach the clean. And it is a great exercise. Cleaning the closet is much harder. People have an irrational fear of doing power cleans. You have to teach people how to row, too. It is easy to cheat on a row. There are many ways to do this or that. The 3 day a week linear...

you could not have a more humorously ironic forum nickname for this post.

I don't think there is enough protein in your current diet. You need 1 gram per pound of bodyweight. Try to sneak in as much meat when the pundits and whatnot aren't looking. The meal timings don't always have to be so rigid. Post work-out, you want to consume lots of carbs with fructose being...

I don't understand why the issue of belts is complicated. 1) Belts are not needed to prevent injury 2) Belts increase the pressure in the trunk thus stabilizing the body and helping strengthen the core, abs, and back 3) Wearing belts over time helps improve strength a bit better than wearing no...

always do cardio after weightlifting. i like low intensity stuff (but not jogging) once in a while. or you can pick an off day and do some high intensity stuff like sprinting or a complex or something. creatine will not help much in the 12 rep range as much as it does for reps below 6. i was...

I agree with Fuglydude. But it really doesn't matter how you get it, though. Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are called essential fatty acids - you're body cannot make them on its own. You have to consume them. Fortunately, you get plenty Omega-6 in your typical diet. Omega-3, not even close...

Eating 1 hour before is good idea. Try to get both complex carbs and simple sugars in. A drink with fructose is okay, but one that has pure sugar is better for pre-workout. If you are getting dizzy and light headed, eat a larger breakfast meal than you are used to (with more carbs) and see how...

A 1000mg fish oil capsule is about one-third omega-3. You want 3-5 grams of omega-3. That is about 10-15 capsules. No one has mentioned this, but you only really need 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight.
