Nutrition & Supplementation / d aspartic acid
« on: December 19, 2012, 02:22:56 pm »
It's suppose to aid in muscle growth and recovery by increase of growth hormones and test. Could some nutrition guru's chime in? And what's this i hear about it also increasing estrogen while it increases test? and therefore you would need an aromatase blocker along with it if you're goign to take it.
confused.

Strength, Power, Reactivity, & Speed Discussion / What toad should i take?
« on: November 28, 2012, 12:21:13 pm »
Basically, I'm wondering what direction I should go for my squat routine. I was told by steven-miller to do 3 sets of 5 reps adding 5 lb each time. I did that and i kind of stalled at 265.
Then kingfish told me to go back down to 225 and do high volume like 8-10 reps, and work up to 4 sets of 10 reps! So now i am doing 2-3 sets of 8 -10 @ 225. I got up to 235 and could not manage 8 reps on 2nd set.
Then this powerlifter said I need to get on a routine or program.
This leaves me on a dilemna. Thanks for your input and negs.

Injury, Prehab, & Rehab talk for the brittlebros / muscle spasms and cramps
« on: November 20, 2012, 12:15:21 am »
I was doing seated calf raises and all of a sudden my right calf freezes and something is pulling it and there is some pain (for some they would classify this as extreme pain. I have high threshold for pain though).
I look at it and my calf muscles are literally moving like it's jello, as if there is something inside my calf wiggling. I could not continue. AFter few min, it got better but it was very sore and would hurt just extending it.
The next day, it was still sore after I tried running and play bball on it. I tried squatting and it didn't really effect calf muscle but this time during the middle of my squat, the tip of my quad muscle began to spazz out / cramp up. Good thing was I managed to rack the weights or else I would have been in bad shape freezing up in the middle of my squat.
So what is going on? I usually warm up but that doesn't matter, because I seem to cramp up towards the END of my work outs and I used to cramp up like this towards the END of bball games. Could it be creatine? (heard that creatine doesn't cause cramps) dehydration? i drink tons of fluid.

Nutrition & Supplementation / my body is not utilizing all this fat
« on: November 10, 2012, 05:41:11 pm »
My diet is very rich in protein and good fats, and carbs post workout. I definitely eat very good. Lots of seafood, chicken and steak. However, my body doesn't seem to like to burn all this fat I have around the belly, chest, and mid body. My legs are starting to look like olympic lifters, but I have so much fat stored up in upper body.
The problem is, the second I start to eat on a calorie deficit, my strength goes down. For example, I was able to do 5 x 255 x 3 full paused 2 sec squats. Then, I lost 3 lb in a week, and I could barely do 1 set of that now... on the 2nd set or 3rd set, I'd fail at rep 4 or 5 and get pinned.
