Testosterone Cypionate

Now with this being one of my favourite Test esters I thought I would do an early morning write up on it for you all. Testosterone Cypionate Traits Testosterone Cypionate is a synthetic version of the naturally produced testosterone hormone. This hormone is responsible for many different physical and mental characteristics in males. It promotes sex drive, fat loss, helps with gaining and maintaining lean muscle mass, increases bone density, and may even protect against heart disease. Whether it is naturally produced or through the use of Testosterone Cypionate, these traits do not change. All other steroids are actually the testosterone molecule that has been altered to change the properties of the hormone.  Testosterone Cypionate carries a rating of 100 when measuring its anabolic/androgenic structure and this rating is used to measure all other steroids. This would make testosterone the "father" of all anabolic steroids used by athletes...

Nutritional Programming - Part 1

Image
So one of the biggest minefields and one of the areas I have been asked for advice on recently is planning a writing out a nutrition program for people. With all the 'bro-science' out there and poor education material available that contradicts just about everything else that you can find, I thought it best to take things right the way back to basics and start from the ground up. All the diets that we see touted out there all come with fancy names; Intermittent Fasting 5:2 Diet Cambridge Herbalife Cambridge Carb Cycling Paleo Atkins I could go on and on but there is far too many to do so, and I really don't care for them either so back to where we are heading with this short piece of a blog. Nutrition works on a very basic equation, of Calories in -vs- Calories out, or Energy Balance as I like to refer to it. In laymans terms should you want to gain weight you need to eat more calories than what you use during the day, this being your TDEE (Total Daily Ener...

Cardio Question

Random question I've received on cardio, the questions simplified, do I prefer high or low intensity cardio? Are weighted walks good and how do you feel about the sprinter / marathon runner argument which is often repeated?  I prefer low intensity cardio because it burns a higher percentage of fat although you need to perform more of it compared to high intensity cardio. Low intensity cardio might burn 80% fat and 20% glucose/glycogen, high intensity cardio might burn 20% fat and 80% glucose/glycogen. It's important to remember that high intensity cardio burns more calories per unit of time so 1 hour of high intensity cardio will burn more fat than 1 hour of low intensity cardio. The benefit of high intensity cardio is less time is needed to burn the same amount of calories, the downside is that you burn a lot of glucose/glycogen which can interfere with your weight training unless you eat extra carbohydrate to help offset the extra glucose/gly...

Chest EMG Question

Random question I've received on bench pressing, the question simplified, what's the best grip  width and angle to use, should you do incline, flat and decline?  I've read just about every EMG study in existence, the data is very clear, a narrow grip helps target the clavicular head (upper pec). Also a low incline (15-20 degrees) is better than a moderate/high incline. I can also feel my upper pecs working harder when I bench this way. Decline bench is a waste of time and not superior toparallel dips. Infact a low incline with dips would be more then sufficient for most to fully train the pecs, those with lagging pecs could add more such as flat flies or crossovers, for those avoiding dips I would recommend low incline, flat bench and flies. If you needed to avoid the bench altogether, I'd recommend you try weighted push-ups, dips and incline flyes. Where the problem is with EMG's however, most are conducted without going to failure. Generally ...

Dynamic Effort

Random question I've received on DE training, the question simplified, are we going against the SAID principle with DE training, I've been told there's two ways to increase motor unit recruitment and if you want to increase force velocity you need to train at both ends of the curve.  My answer is basically DE work is a waste of time, not all will agree with this, but in my opinion, if you want to increase your maximal bench press you should train with maximal loads and attempt to lift the bar as fast as possible. The SAID principle is very simple, basically your practise should be as close as possible to the performance you're trying to improve. Lifting 50% loads as fast as possible is entirely different to lifting 90% or greater loads as fast as possible. Lifting 50% loads as fast as possible trains you to lift 50% loads faster. Lifting 90% loads as fast as possible trains you to lift 90% loads as fast as possible. Most people don't under...
