Is breakfast good beneficial or not? Well, I've not come to the conclusion that... It depends. You see a common problem people within the fitness industry suffer from is adrenal fatigue, if you suffer from adrenal fatigue you will not make enough cortisol and this makes it harder to maintain normal blood sugar levels. If you eat a breakfast, between say 6-8AM this can help with this issue, thebenefit of this can last up to approximately 10AM, this is where we get into the realm of balance and passing this should be avoided for health purposes. As mentioned above evening protein intake is important, but then I also recommend periods of fasting for at the most 12 hours with 10 hours being the ideal minimum to support processes such as insulin sensitivity, autophagy and more. It is true that carbohydrates in the morning and post-workout are less likely to be stored as fat.  So here really, the choice is yours, you either can skip it and hav...

Some people seem unsure of which forms of carbohydrates are best for replenishing muscle glycogen stores, well most fruits aren't very good at replenishing muscle glycogen stores because fructose is only capable of replenishing liver glycogen stores. Sugar (sucrose or HFCS) isn't very good either because it's 50% fructose. Only glucose can replenish muscle glycogen stores. Glucose = Can replenish muscle and liver glycogen stores Fructose = Can only replenish liver glycogen stores Galactose = Can only replenish liver glycogen stores Sucrose (and HFCS) = Half glucose, half fructose Lactose = Half glucose, half galactose Starch (complex carbohydrates) = Glucose Fructose and galactose can't directly replenish muscle glycogen stores although they can do so indirectly via dynamic equilibrium (they're converted into glycogen/glucose in the liver and then released into the blood stream where they can be absorbed by your muscles) although this process ...

Carbohydrate intake is the simplest to identify, you simply take the remainder of your calories and  divide it by 4 to see how many grams you have left to play with. If you feel this does not meet your  requirements for your activity level, lower the fat intake and raise the carbohydrate intake until  you've adjusted to a number your comfortable with, remember to not go below 50 grams of fat at  any period of dieting.  Whether you get your calories from carbohydrate or fat makes zero difference in terms of body  composition, assuming of course equal calorie intake and no deficiencies. www.genesis-ugl.com www.genesis-board.com

Random question I've received on push ups, the question simplified, are push ups better then the  bench press?  Weighted push-ups are a suitable alternative, in fact I believe weighted push-ups are actually better than bench press due to the fact that push-ups are a closed chain exercise while bench press is an open chain exercise. The comparison between push-ups and bench press is basically the same as the comparison between pull-ups (closed chain) and lat pull downs (open chain). Where the problem lies is that push ups can be hard to add weight to over time, one way around this is to alter the repetition range used for the push ups, this shouldn't cause many issues as it's only one exercise but non the less, if your able to increase the weight within a more efficient hypertrophy range then this would be ideal, once you can't do it within this range unless you actually include them both together, the bench press will take over.

Random question I've received on creatine, does creatine reduce myostatin? If so is it significant  enough to be worth it and why does it make my muscles feel softer?  The only real ways to inhibit/reduce myostatin enough to produce a pronounced effect are genetic engineering and/or drugs, chronic resistance training decreases myostatin levels and increases GASP-1 (myostatin binding protein) levels, nutrition has minimal differences on this. The more creatine (and glycogen) you store in the muscle the softer they will feel, this is due to the water storage component of creatine and glycogen. Reducing your overall volume will make your muscles harder because you won't store as much glycogen, however this will make your muscles appear smaller overall. Bodyfat levels also come into play here, as having a higher bodyfat level would make it even further feel softer.

Random question I've received on Vegetarianism, are we biologically designed to be Vegetarians? The idea of us being designed as vegetarians is a load of nonsense, without animal food sources we'd die, it's impossible to get vitamin B12 from plant sources, our ancestors would have all died out if they didn't eat animals. Some examples to illustrate the point: - Iron is better absorbed from animal foods - Vitamin A from animal foods is better absorbed and much more potent on a weight for weight basis - Vitamin K from animal foods is better absorbed and much more potent on a weight for weight basis - Vitamin B12 can only be obtained form animal foods, without animal foods our ancestors wouldhave died - Protein from animal foods is much higher quality than protein from plant foods - Long chain polyunsaturated essential fats (DHA, AA) are easily obtained from animal foods and seafood - The short chain polyunsaturated essential fats (LA,...

Product Breakdown - Genesis UK - Nolvadex Nolvadex / Tamoxifen / Nolva 50 X 20mg Tablets Active Half Time 5-7 Days MG of Product 20mg Average Dosage 20mg Daily Amount of Tablet 50 Tablets --- Nolvadex (Tamoxifen Citrate) TLDR Nolvadex is an oral anti-estrogen/estrogen antagonist prescription drug. Nolvadex is commonly referred to as an anti-estrogen, but technically it is more of an estrogen antagonist. An estrogen antagonist has a unique way of preventing estrogen activity. What it does is to compete with estrogen at the receptor sites, occupying it so that estrogen cannot bind with it. Nolvadex is an anticancer drug which is reportedly effective in treating breast cancer, particularly the kind that is induced by estrogen. Its other therapeutic uses include reduction of the risk of invasive breast cancer following surgery and radiation therapy for ductal carcinoma in situ. Nolvadex is also used as preventive drug. It is prescribed in women who are at high risk of developing breast...

Product Breakdown - Genesis UK - Winstrol Stanozolol / Winstrol / Win / Winnie 50 X 50mg Tablets Active Half Time 9 hours MG of Product 50mg Average Dosage 50-100mg Daily Amount of Tablet 50 Tablets --- Winstrol (Stanaozolol) TLDR Stanozolol (also known as winstrol) is a 17-alpha-alkylated derivative of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) with low androgenic qualities yet highly anabolic. It was first developed in 1962 by American global pharmaceutical company Sterling-Winthrop Laboratories to increase lymphocyte count and CD8+ cell numbers, but to decrease CD4+ and CD3+ in postmenopausal women using it for osteoporosis. This effect would plausibly be useful for treatment of autoimmune disorders. Winstrol is useful in treatment of hereditary angioedema. It also influences some immunological processes. Now stanozolol is produced for sale in two forms: tablets and injections. Stanozolol is the second most widely used oral steroid, succeeded in popularity only by methandienone. Stanozolol tablets h...

Random question I've received on increasing weight, simplified, I'm struggling to increase my weight on some isolation exercises and feel like I've plateaued?  Don't worry about it, especially with isolation exercises, think about the weight increase your actually attempting, so your stuck at 20 kg on curls, increasing the weight to say 25 kg is a weight increase of 25%, it's normal to struggle on occasion, sometimes for weeks on end as you gradually creep closer.
