-FIGJAM- Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 id get an adjustable bench so you can do incline and or decline. dips are a good idea as well. would also be interested to see their pulley system as it could be worth a look at. quality and price i dont know about.

GTR_JOEY Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I would be inclined not to listen to what the side of a protein container says about serving sizes... of course they are goin to say "take 3 scoops" 3 times a day. They are trying to sell the crap. figure out how much protein u need a day, usually 1 gram for every pound of body weight (kg x2.2) then use the protein to fill in the gaps between meals, thats why its a "supplement" Theres no use having a 100 grams of protein in one hit, it needs to spread out through the day Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/132/#findComment-6278128 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with any information you have to consider the source! I've found 2 scoops of Torrent is enough for me, not the 3 prescribed, especially as I often take Vitargo during the session, so that'd be way too many carbs when taken together.

TM7GTR Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 because your body digests x amount of protein per hour regardless of how much you give it. So you prefer to load a ton of protein in one meal, and piss out 80% of it instead?? It's not hard to space your protein out over the course of the day. Why wouldn't you take a slow release protein source before bed? Your catabolic period overnight must be quite significant ...I see no logic here Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/132/#findComment-6281130 Share on other sites More sharing options...

-FIGJAM- Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 anyone here tried doing slow reps? get the set to last near 70seconds. I have been giving it a go and cannot lift near the same amount of weight. example is for bench 3seconds down, at at the bottom and 1 second up. recommend giving it a go for a change.

God_speed Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I find slow reps or negatives are both good if you've got a minor injury or are feeling flat and can't push a heavier weight; you can still get an awesome workout while also changing it up a bit and keep the body guessing. On the protein argument I've also read that those of us who take a lot of additional protein need to make sure we are getting plenty of calcium intake (i.e. through milk, or other sources, in other words check your protein supplement to make sure there is calcium in there as well). This is because the body uses calcium for protein synthesis. You don't want a calcium deficiency.

You don't piss out protein... Why wouldn't I take "slow release" protein before bed? I dunno maybe the fact that by the time I goto fkn bed I've already hit my protein macros for the day so there's a shitload that will be released over the night.

I dunno maybe the fact that by the time I goto fkn bed I've already hit my protein macros for the day so there's a shitload that will be released over the night. Dude I suggest you do some research before posting... "When a high dietary protein intake is consumed, there is an increase in urea excretion, which suggests that amino acid oxidation is increased.." It depends on the types of protein you're consuming, unless you've been consuming a lot of slow-release proteins throughout the day, your overnight release won't last nearly as long as consuming something like casein before bed (4-6 hours release). In response to slow reps, I always lower the weight slowly, and explode on the way up. Muscle fibres tear on the eccentric phase (shortening phase), so for example lowering the weight during a bicep curl is more important than raising it. While on this topic, has anyone here gotten a friend to push down (encourage the negative phase of the lift) on a bar, etc. while you try to resist? It's like super negatives lol, crazy hypertrophy results Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/200767-gym-and-supplement-discussion/page/132/#findComment-6282874 Share on other sites More sharing options...
