    How much calcium supplementation?

    If I am consuming say 4 cups of skim milk/yoghurt a day, how much supplemental calcium should I be taking? Considering that I am on a high protein/phosphorus body building type diet that i have read is fairly calcium depleting.

    Vicious, few post cycle questions...

    I might shoot for 2-3 increments over the next two weeks, then give myself a rest, the sports medicine bloke I saw told me it was not tendonitis but patellar femoral syndrome (patellar mistracking) and would require retraining of quads + stretching and a few other things to correct. I am...

    Using weight training to deplete muscle glycogen?

    45-60 second sets emphasising the concentric, no emphasis on eccentric. Amount of sets depends on muscle group size, for a general goal shoot for between 4 - 7 sets

    HST ABS Discussion
