The typical theory of muscle growth is explained by adding extra parts into the muscle fiber. The anatomy of a muscle fiber is broken down to the smallest functional part, the sarcomere. In each of these think of some ropes (actin) and some men (myosin). These "men" pull the walls (Z line) of...

As far as I know they don't. Your biceps are worked by a basic curl because it includes supination. The hammer curl, and if anybody thinks otherwise please correct me, works the brachialis. Which if worked will make the biceps look thicker.

As we all know, how we put together our routines plays a big role in how we build muscle. This issue can also be very controversial. If I could get some of the experts to give their input on the following: 1- How many reps do you do per set? Facts: Studies on cats have shown 4-6RM will...

Heat harms whey protein, but I have never heard of any other type being harmed or destroyed.

I dont know about this... chemo in the past 10 years has changed so much and has been very effective. The faster the cancer grows, the better and more effective chemo is. If caught in stage I or II most cancers can be treated with a very high survival rate(90%+ depending on type), and III and...

to add to what kian said, take zinc, and l-arganine. A good source of arganine is NoX products, that really arent good for anything else. Also, your balls hang from you for a good reason, to stay cooler, so sometimes you might want to very indirectly put an ice pack there to keep them cooler...

Antioxidants(ALA, NAC, multi vits, CoQ10, berries), self hypnosis/deep relaxation, better diet, and garlic(also an antioxidant). Ive been able to keep my blood pressure down at 110/55 with a Resting Heart beat of 45-50 bpm just doing the first three. If you can take garlic aka garlique, thats...

Ive heard of Tribulus Terrestris helping some women with hormone problems. Its an herb that supposedly boosts testosterone in males by 50%, Ill have to read into it further for details of female benefits.

I know its a little late for this but what the hey, for your information right. Coffee(liquid) will go bad if left out, and is heated for a certain duration of more than say, the time it takes you to drink it, unless its sealed. The heat will attract bacteria, specifically e-coli. This will...

Dymatizes elite protein is damn good stuff... I sometimes look forward to it when I havent had a glass. Tastes like a malt chocolate shake to me (cafe mocha). Ive never tasted ON, but no matter, milk adds to the protein and nutrients so use milk when using any protein (except new fruit flavors).

Protein consumption is another controversial subject. What I think is that you need maybe 1 gram per pound of weight, with a lot of carbs, and SOME fats. Some studies show you only need to have around 15% of your diet as protein. Given the avg diet of 2500, that should only be around 90...

So long as your putting something into ur stomach before u sleep, youre better off than a lot of bodybuilders. Like they said, casein protein is good before you go to sleep because it is considered "time release". You might want to find a protein meal shake that contains casein and the other...

Only if your over a certain age, ie 35, should you really supplement DHEA. Other than this, I would just say go buy a 4 dollar bottle at Target and if it doesnt work out buy one from AST.

Vitamin C, multis, creatine (preferably a transport system other than cell-tech), protein, NOX, tribulus, glutamine and GABA.

should use micronized creatine, will help out some of those stomach problems. for any NOX you should take it with food, and like creatine plenty of liquids (ie water or gatorade, NOT soda). Since NOX is a vasodialor, from what I have read, it will keep you from pissing so much. I don't see how...
