Deloading is not equivalent to a complete discontinuation of load stress and metabolic stress. Someone earlier mentioned the repeated bout effect (RBE). Deloading will maintain the RBE, especially...

Cotton straps work for deads. Don't spend a lot on metal hooks...not necessary.

No one has studied that protocol specifically, the the principle of SD would work even while training other body parts.

I deal with it all the time. I don't even entertain them any more. I just listen and say, "thanks" in such a way that they realize I'm not going to have a conversation with them about it. Then you...

mTOR signaling response to resistance exercise is altered by chronic resistance
training and detraining in skeletal muscle.

yeah that's what I was thinking. :cool:

Creatine in any liquid form should be questioned. Creatine breaks down into creatinine within 24-48 hours in water. Absorption is a non issue with creatine. The effects are determined at the muscle...

Check it out.

I don't know that dropping to 2x/week is necessarily going to be the answer. Rather, I would keep the 3x/week frequency during the 15s & 10s and then drop to twice per week for the 5s and increase...

I'm not arguing with Totentanz, but I personally feel that your training might be more effective if you could at least get in a protein drink after training. Protein only is sufficient.

Most studies show more or less equal results from 2 or 3 times per week frequency. What this tells me is that two times per week is the minimum and 3 times per week (under normal circumstances) is...

I just made a post bout this above...sorry, didn't see this thread started when I posted.

Here is a recently published study.

I've got a monthly column in FLEX. Generally its Q&A format and I tackle two questions per issue. Robbie Durand is great to work for and I think he has taken FLEX in a good direction.

There are also many studies examining the safety of creatine monohydrate. Here are a few examples:

Effects of long-term creatine supplementation on liver and kidney functions in American college...

ingredients used in dietary supplements have to be registered with an NDI (New Dietary Ingredient) submission to the FDA before they can be marketed to the public. The only exception being if the...

Sometimes things get hectic in life and hanging out on the board(s) gets put on the back burner. old & grey is the only one grumpy enough to leave because he got board. ;)

You'll also have a significant shift in how your body handles water & glycogen, so don't be discouraged if you drop a couple pounds; its not muscle loss. The onyl way to lose real muscle in such a...

I'm here...I'm here. I've just been very busy since last summer. I am now working full time and finishing my doctoral degree in Exercise Phys. I'm also adjunct faculty at the university where I live...

If it weren't for Millard, not only would their not be a tapatalk plugin, there might not even be a board at all. I second it, cheers to Millard!

Don't be afraid to use higher reps. I use higher reps on joints that I know will not take the beating. Plus, if you slow things down and create a lot of metabolic stress to make up for the decreased...

I apologize. It was my fault completely. I had a billing issue with my web host but I've got it all straightened out.
