  1. Does "pump" contribute to muscle growth or performance?

    I still dont understand why so many people chase a pump and buy all these supps like a junky looking for their next fix. Eat, hit the gym, and kick ass why you are there and you will grow. If you happen to get a pump like your boyfriend Arnold (who got really creepy with the pump), then thats an...

  2. Shoulder Pain

    Ive had continued shoulder issues after a surgery that caused an imbalance. I read up and saw that in order to keep good shoulder health you should have a 2:1 ratio of back/pull and presses. Since I have started doing that it has helped tremendously. Hope you get your issue figured out!

  3. Aspirin and protein synthesis

    Actually, you are partially correct. Try and stay away from NSAIDS up to 4 hours before your work out if you dont take them frequently. HOWEVER, an article that was on here a couple weeks ago about ArA cited a study that showed constant use of NSAIDS did not interfere. I cant remember but I...

  4. Routine to destroy my obliques.

    Just my two cents but doing direct ab work isn't all that beneficial. If you don't want big obliques lose weight until you get the look you desire. Genetics play a big role on where you lose weight as it has been proven that direct exercise to a body part is pretty insignificant for targeting...

  6. Arachidonic Acid: When Inflammation Is Good

    Does anyone worry about long term use causing cancer? I know supplementing with it is relatively new but I've stayed away just because of the potential cancer concern. Has anyone came across anything showng that its a non-issue?

  8. Body recomp advice for 41yo

    Good to see your tracking your macros! Keep up the good work. Just keep the deficit going and every other week or so cut out some more carbs. When I get to 2000 cals I start intermitent fasting (I skip breakfast) just so I can still get 2 nice size meals in me instead of eating like a bird all day.

    That increase in GH isnt enough to make any difference in body composition

  10. Article: Wake Up to the Benefits of Melatonin

    Is that much of an increase in GH enough to do anything that would be a big boost in recovery or body comp? I think melatonin pre workout would just make me sluggish.

  13. Article: Wake Up to the Benefits of Melatonin

    I was told you need to cycle off of melatonin but I love the stuff when I need a good night sleep... But nowhere near 10 mg/kg. Max I have ever used is 3mg a night.

  14. How much is too much "pump"

    That argument could be made but would have no proof to support that theory that its key to building muscle. From an interview of Dr. Layne Norton: MP: Do you believe that the muscle pump is the single best indication of a good workout or is actual fatigue the trigger to muscle growth? * LN:*...

  15. How much is too much "pump"

    Minus pumps making you look swoll, pumps don't do anything and there is no proof that the pump builds muscle. I just don't get why people put so much emphasis on it? Progressive overload for the win!

  16. Article: 5 Dieting Mistakes You Must Avoid

    I think the study that he is refering to is about how much protein it takes to spark protein synthesis. Which is something around 25-30g and that anything over a certain amount which was just over that minimum didn't give any more positive effect. In my opinion, I think its more important to...
