  1. Bicep Peak HELP

    genetics do have an extensive role in the shape of the muscle, however, as far as biceps peak goes, u actually need to (over)develop your brachialis. as for the outer head of the biceps - do steep (vertical bench - the other side of the scott bench) preacher curls, best with an EZ bar, wide...
  2. How many of you guys take HMB??

    i'm pretty satisfied with HMB, especially while going low carb. I've noticed my muscles (especially legs) look fuller, have more volume, as opposed to the last time I drastically reduced carbs (i was flat just after a few training sessions). +I can get away with more volume on training days and...
  3. AAKG, Citrulline and Yohimbine Questions

    bcaa+ 30g quick carbs+ 4-6g citrulline malate. vpx powershock is pretty cheap, too. i woulnd't go with standard l-arginine, especially with 4g+ doses. can give you some nasty gastro issues
  4. leucine or hmb?

    it would be better to have 5-10g leucine 10-15min prior to a meal. and as far as the topic goes, IMO it's best to have both. 5g of leucine with 15g of EAAs +3g HMB and some fast carbs pre and during workout. HMB worked nicely for me, while I was dieting
  5. Peptopro vs. Hydrolized protein

    parts are useless if u don't have the whole picture. what is faster rate of absorption worth, if AA's still end up in the splanchnic bed?
  6. Peptopro vs. Hydrolized protein

    @rodja what I meant was, the majority of ingested casein hydrolysate ends up in splanchnic bed. meaning that a relatively small(er) portion of its AA's actually end up in the bloodstream/muscle tissue. there are several studies that confirm this, here's one Deglaire et al. Hydrolyzed dietary...
  7. Peptopro vs. Hydrolized protein

    casein hydrolysate is the fastest source of protein, but it doesn't have much value for bodybuilding, since the majority of it ends in the intestine tissue after consumption. whey hydrolysate is the way to go. if the level of hydrolisis is appropriate u can use it pre and during workout. the...
  8. Ecdysterone - Any fans here?

    has anyone tried ecdy extracted from Polypodium Vulgare plant? I would appreciate very much, if someone knew what % of the 20-hydroxyecdysone this plant is standardized to usually
  9. meditropin?

    pretty much. the only useful effect I see in it is inducing deeper and longer sleep, which is caused by GABA. take it on an empty stomach 20-30min prior sleep. if u cherish your sleep highly, it might not be such a waste. I'd sell it if I were you
  10. BCAA/EAA vs. 100% Whey

    u should all try VPX powershock. eaa's+bcaa nitrates+beta alanin + CM. 25-30g of this stuff during training causes balloon-like pumps for me. +this stuff is ridicilously cheap
  11. meditropin?

    I've checked the supplement facts. notuing special - few amino acids, GABA and some peptides. claimed to raise gh levels. don't expect much from it. certain aminoacids raise gh serum levels for a very very small amount and it doesn't last long. and that peptide is gonna be broken down to AA's...
  12. a german post workout product

    createston proffesional is THE ultimate pwo. I've been using profesnional and ergogenic version for the past year and am VERY satisfied. it actually does have everything u need for optimal anabolic effect post workout. +it's getting enhanced every year with new stuff (more adaptogen, more inslin...
  13. BCAA ratios

    agreed, just stick with normal 2:1:1 ratio, if u're into bcaa. high dosages of leucine deplete other amino acids in the amino acid pool, which is counterproductive. extra leucine will benefit when added to EAA's or whey protein. one could also use "leucine pulsing" - 7-10g leucine 10-15min prior...
  14. hmb vs leucine

    I would go with hmb, although it's optimal to add both. 3-5g split in pre-, during and postworkout.
  15. Weak legs

    I doubt I'd be doing squats on a regular basics, if my knees hurt and got swollen every time. the squat is the "king" of exercises, but if it's not working for you, then swallow your ego and skip it, there's plenty of other good exercises (legpress, hack sq etc). i'm a pretty tall guy and I...
  16. Stomach Pain L-Arginine-How to get rid of it?

    large doses (4g +) of l-arginine (free form) may cause intestinal problems. any other form would work better (AKG, KIC, di-arginine malat etc). by the way, i agree with ccnanabolic, u won't get enough GH increase from amino acids that it would make any difference. IMHO there is no legit...
  17. Bicep Mass

    ensure proper form; full ROM, proper rep tempo, no cheating train in all rep ranges combine dumbbell, cable and machine exercises use rest-pause and bottom half/stretch reps +what others suggested (nutrition, rest, etc)
  18. Big Arms!!! - yess plzzz

    triceps are bigger than biceps, but not twice bigger (except if it's REALLY overdeveloped) i'd suggest the following: -train arms 2x weekly or 1x per 4-5 days -train in all rep ranges -combine exercises where the muscle-mind connection is the greatest (that's why i always recommend cable and...
  19. Working out twice in 1 day

    i agree - bodybuilders can benefit a lot from training 2x daily, however, there has to be proper autoregulation regarding volume and proper nutrition adjustment - you spend more energy/glycogen + protein turnover is greater, thus more carbs and more protein is needed compared to a single daily...
  20. Working out twice in 1 day

    i agree with legacyfighter. Trainig twice daily is more effective, if u know how to approach it, training and nutritionwise. the point is, u train the same muscles twice daily. i've just ended a 2x daily training phase, where i trained chest+ back in the AM and in the PM on the same day. heavy...
