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...

Is carb cycling better than linear dieting?

Image
It's a reasonable question, but also one that individuals rarely tend to take the time to think through. To weigh up the pro’s and con’s for their particular, personal situation. There’s no question that carb cycling can work. It can and does. In the right circumstances carb cycling can have a major impact on an individual’s overall diet experience. But so to can linear dieting. For starters, by linear dieting I mean standard dieting: maintaining the same calorie and macronutrient plans each day. Carb cycling is therefore a non-linear strategy. While there is a abundance of anecdotal evidence available, from individuals who have found success with carb cycling, however from my knowledge, there is a severe lack of controlled studies comparing linear dieting to carb or calorie cycling. What this means is that we can only really consider the possibilities, weigh up the pro’s and con’s and then make an educated decision based on your individual situation. To help you guide ...

Weight Increase Frustration

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.

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...

Steroid Question

Random question I've received on steroids, the questions simplified, are steroids safe, how can you tell visually if somebody is using steroids, can you hide it and when is the earliest you can use it? Injectable steroids are very safe, the side effects are exaggerated, oral steroids can damage the liver if not used correctly in terms of dosages or length of duration, even then they are still exaggerated. The traps, neck and delts have a naturally high density of andogen receptors, they blow up the most when someone starts taking steroids. The calves have a very low androgen receptor density, this is why steroids don't help very much with calf growth. If you see someone with an usually thick neck, big traps and round delts you're most likely looking at a steroid user. A steroid using man vs a natural man is basically the same as a man vs a woman, the visual difference can be that dramatic. A sexual partner would definitely notice, it's impos...

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...
