  1. Strength training for a Ballet dancer

    Thank you! I'll definitely look into his stuff.

  2. Strength training for a Ballet dancer

    Thanks, okay. The reps would be in the low end then and tempo fairly fast, at least for the concentric part. Gaining muscle and weight is a concern (this is a female dancer), so I imagine keeping the set duration below 20 seconds would be a good idea?

  3. Strength training for a Ballet dancer

    It seems to me that they don't use a lot of hip extension to create air time. Just foot and knee extension from extremely pronated stance.

  6. Strength training for a Ballet dancer

  10. 6 hours with no meals...

    I would quit, but that's just me :P. I'd probably try to drink BCAAs during work and eat before work a big meal. Also, after work, I'd eat a huge meal.

  11. protein question

    50g of BCAAs are probably too much to take in one go.

  12. protein question

    Whey is a complete protein. BCAA's have only three amino acids (parts from which proteins are built from), L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine. BCAA's are anticatabolic and whey is anabolic.

  19. Does anybody have a gluten intolerance?

    A lot of people have it. My wife, a lot of people I know, perhaps even myself. I try to stay away from gluten and if I some times eat it, I take some digestive enzymes.
