Creatine is one of those things that works best the first time you use it. It's like sex: You remember it more the first time.I still believe in the loading protocol. Many of those who suggest against loading are basing their suggestions on studies that used very wimpy training programs. These wimp programs didn't need a creatine loading program.The advanced trainer should take a small dose (5

What we like about the incline version of the lateral raise is that you absolutely can't cheat, which is a plus, but you can also get a better deltoid stretch at the bottom of the movement which helps with fast-twitch motor unit recruitment.The downside is that, although it's a lateral head dominant exercise, the anterior portion of the deltoid will also be involved quite a bit due to the angle

According to most all-knowing, all-seeing nutritionists and dieticians, I should be getting between 20 and 80 grams of protein per day instead of the 200 grams I typically consume.Really, that's what they say: 20 to 80 grams a day, sometimes accompanied by the stern warning that more than 20 grams a day could be fatal. I'm not kidding, this is the level of idiocy that's out there among some "

I've never once broken my macronutrients down into percentages, like 40/30/30. I just don't think in percentages. I bet most people don't.Instead, I think of calories and macronutrients in terms of money and budgeting. If you've always been confused by all the percentages, give this simple method a shot.Here's how it works: First, decide how much "money" you have. Let's say you're dieting hard

You should be paying attention to glycemic load. There's a big difference. Here's the scoop:Glycemic index is a way of measuring the impact a given amount of carbohydrate has on your blood sugar, something you definitely want to know. But to do a fair comparison, they have to use a fixed amount. In the case of the glycemic index, it's a standard 50 grams of carbohydrate.Problem is, very few

1. Perform heavy negatives (eccentric contractions), particularly in the stretched position.Slow lowering of weight, sometimes with weight even greater than one's concentric max, is amazing for growth. Example exercises include stiff-legged deadlifts, "hithead" overhead presses to the top of one's head, and seated incline "profanity curls" (four-count negatives).2. Respect muscle-specific and

To lose fat, sometimes you have to eat fat. I know, I know, this statement just "feels wrong." After all, years of anti-fat campaigning have convinced us that fat is what makes us chunky. But did you know that monounsaturated fats and certain polyunsaturates actually speed up the metabolic rate?Eric Noreen, a lipid researcher at the University of Western Ontario, believes that the best of the fat

Building muscle is a science and like all scientific endeavors you need to start out by setting up your goals and think through each detail of what you need to do to attain them. One of the problems is that there is so much conflicting literature out there on the topic of muscle
