How bout the fast, simplest carb source around. Pure Glucose, or rather Dextrose. If you can get your hands on some mix it with a little water and and about 200-400 mg ALA and you'll be set. If you can't find straight dextrose I would suggest gatorade powder. If you're intent on whole foods...

I wanted to know if anyone has used this water shedding/glycogen and intramuscular fat synthesis and reload regimen before a contest. It is posted on t-mag and it seems quite sound and the premises are solid. If it really works the way it is supposed to it seems ideal, much more ideal than the...

Tweakle: Isn't 250 a bit overkill at his current weight. He is only 145 lbs and that isnt even all LBM. All the current literature points to 1 g/LBM or 1g/BW to be a little easier. 160 grams is even over that number but 20 grams per meal is easy to handle. Anything more than 1 gram cannot be...

Those foods eaten with consistency will definitely make you FATTER. The kind of mass you're looking for is muscle mass, not fat mass. Given, along with nearly all bulking cycles there is going to be a certain amount of fat one accumulates but the amount depends on your eating. If you do the...

Shark- Fucking Awesome. Congrats on the wonderful feat you have accomplished. Allon- I am not trying to be a douchebag and I don't want this to come off the wrong way, but some of your comments about why low-carb diets are bad or dangerous are a bit erroneous. I am not trying to start a fight...

4everhung, thanks man. Everything I write or say is always sincere and I truly want and mean it. I really don't see good things happening in our immediate future. I know one person cannot change everything but I have a lot of ideas and am very ambitious. I love the sciences, I love the...

check out ~sc~'s "7 days to ultimate leaness" article or Strut Yo' Stuff by Timbo and Thunder on t-nation.com. I am using the latter this weekend for my contest. See which one is better for you. Alex

~sc~: I happen to agree that one's own physique goals should be one's primary concern. I am the biggest egotist around and what I do and what happens to me is always my primary concern. However, I have also realized that whether I like it or not, I must interact with the rest of the world. I can...

When the low carb craze began to set in on a wide scale I was very saddened for the reason that I personally feel that a diet that is low in refined carbohydrates and emphasizes lean proteins and fats is really the optimal way of eating. We evolved on the meat and fish we hunted, the leafy...

I highly suggest you check out john berardi's "Massive Eating Reload" and also the articles he writes on nutrient timing. I just recently had to do a very precise bulking period of 6 weeks and the results were amazing. I am preparing for NPC nationals which are next week and I wanted to put on a...

Hello Coreman, It is good to see that you are willing and wanting to make an effort to change. That in itself is already a step forward to a new healthier lifestyle and new healthier you. I will not lie and say it will be easy or that you will not run into obstacles however I will tell you...

hey guldukat I hear ya about being too ambitious however one should take into consideration that my body is still relatively untrained compared to those who have trained for a number of years and have reached a period of stagnation. Anyhow.. I started my precision bulking diet/training program...
