  2. Slingshot thoughts

    This is gonna be variable as well. Central nervous system (CNS) technically is described as the CNS not allowing the muscles to fire at their maximum, IE limiting the amount of high threshold motor units recruited. The main contributors to CNS fatigue are not intensity according to the research...
  3. Slingshot thoughts

    I don't post often but lurk sometimes. I use to compete in powerlifting for reference, some members may remember me. Anyways I have benched 370 raw in comp and 535 multiply, both at 220 in the past. The slingshot is an overload tool and unless you bench equipped I personally think its...
  4. How important is L Glutamine and should you supplement it ?

    Research doesn't show much support for either intestinal permeability or bodybuilding purposes. There is good mechanistic data for helping with tight junction function and if one does have "leaky gut" it is worth a try at least. Most likely need 15+ grams per day for the gut effects. Using...
  5. Max Protein consumption in one meal

    Hypertrophy specific effects seem to be maximized at around 1.6g per KG bw, moving 2 standard deviations from this puts a good minimum for most for total daily intake at 1.8g per KG bw for protein. When it comes to body comp, there is a little data that suggests as high as 3.4g per KG bw can...
  6. ARA content in Egg Yolks and Inflammation

    Ara is not always bad. There are several ways to evaluate this. It may be wise to first consider one's omega-6 to omega-3 ratio. Several studies have indicated that a poor ratio may be more a concern compared to total dietary intake. It seems, based on the limited data, a 4:1 ratio of omega-6 to...
  7. What’s the best powelrbuilding program I can do?

    Invalid Link Removed Read the intermediate section in the above and design a training plan with those principles in mind.
  8. Remember Me? The Swanson52 Log of PL Program Hopping.

    I have used both. Bench blocks a good replacement for blocks if you want 1-3 board options, set up is iffy if they arnt squared right upon unrack (I would make my own and had a buddy do it in the past), shoulder saver is super easy to use but it only a two board height, if that is the board you...
  9. Do Powerlifters Ever Convert to Bodybuilding? Any Downsides to Powerlifting First?

    Matt Kroc, Ben Pollock, Mark Bell, Stan Efferding, Eric Helms, Layne Norton, Jonnie Jackson, Ronnie Coleman, Josh Bryant, Mike Isreatel, I can keep naming them. Its all diet and training related. You can add strength in a deficit, esp after a lay off. I am have been training for 13 years and...
  10. Have We Had Definitive Studies of Protein Requirements?

    I am gonna leave some notes below. I think you can look into studies yourself. You always ask for them but never use the information so I personally will not be doing this for you. 1. Try to space protein intake across the day; the more, the better. For example, 180 grams of protein in six...
  11. Can Too Much Thyroid Medicine Destroy Thyroid?

    Why not read the studies I posted and make your own educated answer to your questions? I gave my input.
  12. Can Too Much Thyroid Medicine Destroy Thyroid?

    No, taking thyroid hormones initiates the negative feedback loop resulting in decreased thyroid hormone production, upon stopping the medication they have seen a return to baseline function. Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed
  13. Curcumin - Tell SNS What You'd Like to See in a Curcumin Product

    I am glad I was able to provide some value and assist in anyway.
  14. Curcumin - Tell SNS What You'd Like to See in a Curcumin Product

    I would personally like to see CurQfen in the product. Free curcuminoids seems to be the most active component we are looking for after curcumin supplementation and this material provides the highest levels of free curcuminoids in the blood when compared to a generic 95% curcumin extract. The...
  15. What Does Science Say About Intentional Over-Feeding?

    Stop looking for optimal and look for sustainable, whatever that means for you. I have science to answer your original questions but its means very little as your are always looking for optimal. If your doing the basics right and wanted to improve then my reply would be different but you don't...
  16. Greasing The Groove (GtG) and other Soviet based methods -

    I skimmed this. You are asking the wrong questions. There is no A is better then B as a blanket option. I would start off by learning what makes a program work. Then learn how to apply these principles to your goals, lifestyle, recovery ability, and time constraints. I would get the Scientific...
  17. Any Way to Induce Ketosis Faster? Ketosis salts?

    One of the easiest ways to be unhappy is to compare yourself to others. Focus on being better then yourself overtime and before you know it you will be leaps and bounds better then you are now.
  18. On Cycle Training Split & Diet

    In the short term 2x per week seems to be more effective then 1x per week You would want to train each body part somewhere between their minimum effective volume and maximal recoverable volume Use 5-30 reps per set and train within 3 reps of failure per set Divide volume throughout the week...
  19. Recommendations for protecting against hair loss?

    Some good options are below nizoral shampoo minoxidil topical infared therapy comb tocotrienols blend oral ru58841 made into a topical and applied to the scalp possible finasteride/duasteride oral
  20. If you have body fat, you are in a calorie surplus.

    Mathematically you would assume that one could use stored energy from adipose tissue to make up the energy needs one has to build muscle tissue when in a deficit. This clearly happens in many research studies (many of these are not ketogenic diets). The reason this process is more difficult to...
