Does anyone use "prohomones", from any of the vitamen stores? VPX sports or other brands? Any feedback is appreciated.

NITRO TECH BARS are 35grams of Protein..excellent protein source and very easy.. Also Turkey "jerky"...at GNC is 39grams per serving and suprisingly low in sodium.

I recently read that Soy Protein works against your testosterone and actually blindsides your ability to grow muscle. I mix it up, WHEY and SOY, sometimes more WHEY sometimes more SOY..anyone have any thoughts????

This is not in all cases, but the problem that I have with schools that are now "Mixed Martial Arts" is that the teachers are often very shady with who they learned and earned there training. I have run into so called teachers that have barely stepped into a dojo and often learned and received...

Choosing a martial art should be done carefully, there are literally hundreds of styles to chose from. The bottom line is you have to be comfortable with practicing and applying the art, if you are not, move on until you find an art that suits your personality and bodytype. Here are some...

WELL SAID!!!!!!

I would chose Krav other MMA, Whats good about Krav is that its roots are from hardcore Israeli Defense Forces Special Ops. This guys see serious battle, and the techniques work in street combat. No katas, nothing fancy, just dirty, get the job done hand-to-hand combat.

When I see the images of those helpless hostages on the evening news, knowing that they fate is to be beheaded, I wonder if anyone out there ever puts themselves into those situations and trains to counter-strike and evasion. Does anyone ever train to fight close-quarter? What if you are on a...

Let's face it, most self defense situations are close quarter and require more of the take downs and holds, you can train striking on your own.

Just wanted to emphasis, KAVA and the Unisom are both rather effective, and sometimes can really profoundly effect individuals, so use with caution!! Don't drive after taking them for at least 7 or 8 hours.

You may want to try "KAVA KAVA"..which is the herbal form of valium, however, you will generally want to give yourself 7-8 hours of rest, driving is not recommended after taking Kava. Benadryl works well also. 50mg by mouth. Or Unisom over-the-counter sleep aid, however that would be my last...

At your weight for bulking up you need: To take in between 2900-3400 calories a day, and of that 160-200 grams of protein a day. The rest should be carbs, and some fats. On the days you increase your cardiovascular training I would add another 200-300 calories 40% Protein, 40%Carb, 20% fat, or...
