  1. Article: Are You Using Too Much Protein Powder?

    It would be logical to conclude this was a typo and the first unit should be Kilogram, not pound, but as it is worded it does make no sense.

  2. Article: Protein Every 3 Hours Is Optimal

    The article does not make a claim that it's the only way, just optimal. IF protocol is an optimal way to lose weight and maintain a great amount of your lean mass ( less blood glucose fluctuation ). Total protein intake can hold a high percentage of mass intact, there is some very minimal...

  3. Article: Protein Every 3 Hours Is Optimal

    The study doesn't indicate one should consume more protein, it just repeats what a lot of studies are demonstrating lately about the benefits to triggering muscle protein synthesis (2-3g Leucine has shown positive results) as many time as possible in the frame of a day. There seems to be about a...

  4. Article: Do I Need To Load Creatine

    Your body creates a comparatively minuscule amount of creatine relative to the demands of a rigorous lifting regimen, also a minimal absorption occurs from foods like red meats, ultimately falling short of the demand. Supplementing helps to increase storage allowing effective utilization...

  5. Article: Carbohydrate Facts

    One glaring error is that insulin isn't the appetite hormone, it's part of the storage/release tandem, glucagon being the other half. Leptin and Grehlin are the two that control appetite. Triggers include stomach expansion/contraction, "learned" timing intervals, etc. I do agree with the...

  7. Article: DMAA NOT Found In Geranium

    The issue is that it was originally discovered from the oil and plant in a different form which was much less potent as an alpha-1 activator, the synthetic form (which is not found naturally in the distillation) is 200 times more effective and hasn't been thoroughly studied in humans. Thus the...

  8. More evidence that carbs post workout are overrated

    In the end this is a good approach to supplementation, nutrition, and training. it may or may not be ergogenic, or scientifically proven always... but if it gives you that perceived edge or placebo effect while not compromising your financial, health status, or get you in trouble with a PED...

  9. More evidence that carbs post workout are overrated

    I won't try to deny that claim, a very large majority of " studies " are financed by supplement companies to increase potential revenue, regardless of actual results... regretfully.

  10. More evidence that carbs post workout are overrated

    That's where you need to be able to critically analyze the information, source, and methodology. If a company sponsors a college research project that gets published... be extra cautious about the methodology and results, if everything looks to be done appropriately, and can be duplicated, give...

  11. More evidence that carbs post workout are overrated

    Not the kind of article I prefer to use when learning... I prefer to use research studies with evidence backed results, the peer reviewed and published kind.

  12. More evidence that carbs post workout are overrated

    I was interested in following up some research to validate claims made in this article, until it became a product spotlight for the guys personal product... you're talking about broscience, and supplement manufacturers creating hype to generate profits, then provide a link that does exactly...

  13. More evidence that carbs post workout are overrated

    I suppose I shouldn't have been so vague as to use the term "spike" I meant that you raise it above what it currently was/is. Which would basically mean the presence of insulin, you inferred that I meant a large increase. The main idea that you either didn't see or avoided from my post was that...

  14. More evidence that carbs post workout are overrated

    I remember an article from John Berardi, which both provided evidence to back up your claims along with claims others here. In essence both parties are right to some degree. While strength athletes deplete glycogen far less than endurance athletes a spike in insulin was shown to be effective for...

  15. More evidence that carbs post workout are overrated

    Exactly, this study has several problems with the methodology. The workout intensity, and amounts consumed being the most glaring issues. Typically a post workout shake should have a 3:1 or 4:1 ratio carb to protein, not 2:1 (50g would not cause much/any insulin spike in a trained, healthy...
