synthesis

The topic of protein synthesis as it relates to muscle building, is extremely important because It tells us exactly how frequently natural lifters should train if they want to build muscle at an optimal rate. Research reveals that when you train a body part, protein synthesis remains elevated...

Sponsored Content One thing we may forget as we’re crushing our daily routines isn’t to add that extra ten pounds to your final set, it’s to make sure we’re hitting the pillow for at least eight hours of healthy sleep. While it’s true that sleep creates the same catabolic conditions of fasting...

A while back, I shared with you the results of a study looking at different protein feeding patterns. They had one group drink 10g of protein every 1.5 hours. Another group drank 20g every three hours. A third group drank 40g every six hours. All groups drank the same amount of whey protein...

Are you a lower dose, 1-3 compound user? Or are you more of a higher dose kitchen sink type? What about the concept of low test cycles? I think my approach over the past 8 years of use has been pretty basic/simple. Usually blast on 2 oils and 1 oral, then cruise. Lately I have been...

LDL and Response to Resistance Training: Is high LDL really that bad? by Physics_phitness So for those of us who are AAS users, one of the big things we look at when we get bloodwork done is lipids. HDL is generally crashed and LDL is way above normal range. Low HDL bounces back pretty...

what cycle is best for strictly joint/tendon repair? not concerned with maximum muscle growth or anything else, just strictly Joint/Tendon Repair!

Much has been written about nutrition in the pages of MD over the decades. I’m sure many readers who began reading when they were teenagers are now entering their 30s and 40s. Countless pages have been devoted to describing nutritional protocols to maximize gaining muscle and losing fat. But I...

While injecting test increases protein synthesis by roughly 50 times, depending on dose and time, most bodybuilders forget that it will reduce collagen synthesis by more than 50% -- more like 80%, giving you the collagen synthesis rate of a senior citizen. Since collagen makes up tendons, bros...

Prostaglandins are part of a class of substances called eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are a group of substances derived from fatty acids and include prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes, all of which are formed from precursor fatty acids by the incorporation of oxygen atoms into the fatty...
