    Need some Shoulder advice

    I joined a Gold's gym because they have a Hamer Strength machine that is a seated incline. It might be the best piece of equipment I have found for shoulder rehab. Helps control the movement pathway. I found when training shoulders if you look at it in a hierarchy training back to front with the...

    Need some Shoulder advice

    Was anything reattached? And do you have full ROM? I have 10 weeks out of having my shoulder cleaned out and full ROM is the key before starting to do any major strengthening. If ROM is the issues, I got some advice on how to get it you are interested as it can be a MFer to get it all back.

    How much protein do you need?

    Excellent. But let me add one. 7. Be consistent. The person that can train and adhere to their plan the longest over the greatest timeline will have the most success. Most people fail because they lack a plan. The second greatest number of failures comes from that don't adhere to the plan they...

    How much protein do you need?

    The whole anabolic window for exercise is only relevant for older (over 40) athletes/people. Youngsters have an anabolic window that lasts 24-48 hours. As we age we lose insulin sensitivity and that anabolic window shrinks down to 60-90 minutes. If you are training, make sure you eat some...

    How much protein do you need?

    If he said this then he is a bigger moron than his videos lead you to believe. I have seen bodybuilders eating every macro nutrient ratio step on stage and win a major bodybuilding show, both natural and untested. The only commonalities between them is every one eats a high protein diet in...

    How much protein do you need?

    The "high protein deal is hard no the liver" is the veritable boogeyman. I don't put any stock in it. It is in the same vane of nonsense as the Barry Sears myth you can only digest 30 grams of protein per meal. I had a conversation with Dr. Keith Baar on this very topic as it pertains to older...

    How much protein do you need?

    6'6' 278 pound this AM. I have a meat sponsor. I try to drink 150 ounces a day. More in the summer, less in the winter. You can die here in TX in the summer pretty easy.

    How much protein do you need?

    People try all the time. The definition of insanity - doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different response.

    How much protein do you need?

    I found it easier to say....only count the protein that has a face, soul and a mother. And I eat about 300-350 grams of protein a day depending on where I am in my training. Looks like 2 x 50 grams of whey & collagen protein, 2 x 10 oz of ground buffalo, 10-14 oz of white fish or chicken or...

    How much protein do you need?

    It isnt. They have done studies where they have overfed subject's protein demands by 20% and 50% and it didnt effect body fat. Actually it increase metabolism. It is hard to overeat on protein because it is extremely satiating.

    How much protein do you need?

    Actually it is not if you read the literature. The improved insulin sensitivity comes from the caloric restriction not from the act of fasting. The fasting is the mechanism that helps people get into caloric restriction. And improved markers come from the reduced calories. I know the world wants...

    How much protein do you need?

    First, why the trepidation? You seem upset. The OP asked, "Arnold used to say that if you were trying to build muscle and didn't want diet to be limiting your growth, you needed 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day. That was a long time ago. Does this still hold true?" That is...

    How much protein do you need?

    Remember fasting is a just a fancy way to caloric restrict. The research has been out for years, they compared people who ate the same volume of food over 16 hours vs 8 hours and the results were the same. Fasting isnt romantic and it isnt magic - just cool way to caloric restrict.

    How much protein do you need?

    Correlation is not causation. And you are overthinking this stuff. I have yet to see anyone carry a high amount of muscle eating a low protein diet. And I have seen athletes of all shapes and sizes eat different macros and be both fat and shredded. I have seen people eat a Paleo diet with...

    How much protein do you need?

    There are some interesting things about protein. It is hard to over-consume it because it is extremely satiating. Second, protein is really the only macronutrient when we look at as it relates to body composition. Third, not all proteins are created equal - you want to consume the most nutrient...

    Where would you move to from a future Socialist America?

    I grew up in CA and attended a small conservative school in northern California, UC Berkeley. While there I read a lot for my major and enjoyed research our founding fathers and the writings on Thomas Jefferson and John Locke. Locke wrote about the Laws of Nature - all beings are equal yet...

    Suppressors .308 SBR Suppressor

    Seems like that is what I am gathering. I am going to go check out the Chimera and Dead Air today. The worst part about suppressors is the 12 month wait so might as well get the exact one you want. Thanks for the help. JR
