Hey guys, heres the deal. I have started a thread that I will be answering nutritional questions...Why me you ask? I am a PhD Student at UW working in Sports Nutrition. I can answer almost all sports supplements questions and any nutiritonal question...and if I can't. I have a whole University's worth of professors and resourses to ask. I will answer one question a day here, however, in VIP...I will answer them as soon as I see a new question. I will even list the sources I base my answer on. I can answer anything from what protien powders to take to what certian anabolics do, however with the anabolics, I won't tell you what to do, or what to take...as a code of ethics...I can't, or I would lose my medical license before I even get it... Ask Away! Therefore, you should join VIP to ask as many as you want...plus see all the other awesome shit!

Ok so I can post a question here?
Well I also post on another forum. It's dutch, so it wouldn't really help if I copy the shit from it I got questions about.
Well I got thousands of questions, and I'm actully thinking about becoming vip somewhere in the near fututr but my questions for now:
Protein!
Well a know it, but what is the amount you should take? Well thats has been asked before and many diffrent answers I have been given, so I'm gonna ask it once again.
Then if you can tell me the amount, do you have to take in regard the absortion rates op the protein, caseine would be max 60% and whey between 70-85% So should I actually calculate the real amount I get in? Last thing about protein, they also say that to high intake of it would lower your testerone levels so that would suck like hell.
Cus ik have around 3 g per kg now....and if you check out this study...that would be nutz...and if that testerone lowering shit is ture, i've been fucking myself for the last year.

Objective:

To assess the effects of a diet rich in protein of animal origin in comparison to one with a protein intake of about 15% of the total daily calories on body composition and arterial function.

Design:

Randomized prospective study with parallel groups. Body weight (BW), blood pressure (BP), main parameters of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, body mass composition by bioelectrical impedance analysis, forearm blood flow at rest and in the postischaemic phase by strain gauge plethysmography and flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery by echography were measured at baseline and after 6 months of the dietary intervention.

Subjects:

In total, 15 clinically healthy male volunteers, regularly performing a mixed training three times weekly for 90 min.

Intervention:

The participants were randomly prescribed a diet with high (1.9 g/kg BW) or normal (1.3 g/kg BW) protein content.

Statistical analysis:

Differences between means were evaluated by the t-tests for paired or unpaired data and by one way analysis of variance. The strength of correlation between variables was investigated by bivariate Pearson correlation.

Results:

Serum cholesterol significantly decreased with both diets in comparison to baseline values, whereas BW was slightly but significantly reduced only by the high-protein (HP) diet. No change was detected in BP and the other metabolic parameters. Body mass composition was not significantly modified by either diet. On the other hand, postischaemic flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery was enhanced by the sole normal protein (NP) diet, whereas no change in the forearm blood flow, both at rest and in the postischaemic phase, was detected.

Conclusions:

These preliminary results indicate that HP diet was found to be not useful in increasing the muscle mass in comparison to a NP intake. In contrast to this, the latter diet seems to enhance the endothelial function of the arterial vessels with a more pronounced dilatation of the lumen in response to the increase in blood flow.

Okay man, Lets See...First things first...

Protein is tricky...The reason is, is that all nutritional questions are tricky in a sense that each person is diffrent in regards to their GI tract (stomach and intestines) and what is and isn't absorbed.But back to the point, inregards to protein, what I suggest all people should do is never go below 1 gram pre pound of BW a day and never higher then 2.25 grams a day. What i suggest you do is that you start at 1 gram a day and stay at that for 2 months, and see how you feel and how your body responds and then increase it to 1.5 for another month, then 2 for another month and see if you notice a diffrence. Then pick what you feel is best for you.

Diffrence between Casien, Whey, and Soy... Well Casien is a slow digesting protein...so You should never take more then 30 grams at once. I suggest taking this at night or mid-day furthurst from training. Whey is a fast absorbtion rate and should be taken pre and post training and upon waking. No more than 40 grams of this..And soy...well unless your a vegan...I sould stay away from soy. I am not 100% on this but I have read that Soy isoflavones, found in soy protien can increase estrogen production. How ever, if you are a vegatarian, I would limit soy protein intake and get it from nuts and beans. I would not worry about your absorbtion rate either, no need to calculate you excate absorbation rate, wouldn't hurt, but not worth the trouble as you have no way to really no what your body absorbs.

About this study....you have to look at the control...and the subjects. These are low intenseity training individuals who train 3 days a week, if thats you, then this may apply to you however, it hopefully doesn't to most of us. Our bodys are punished at a much higher level and need the protien to replinish what we have exhausted. I wouldn't take this study with too much thought...

Good Luck and Merry Christmas

(This is the answered Question for Decemeber 22nd, 2005)

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN BOYS AND GIRLS!!!!!!!!
just incase u didnt know. my man CWU trainer has all the info in his head that u need to get big and cut and anything u could possibly want to look like(JUST DONT ASK ABOUT SPECIFIC DOSAGES FOR JUICE ITS KINDA DISRESPECTFUL U KNOW) Aside from that my man says he would be glad to help and anything u dont ask that u want to know, Thats just plain silly bc this man knows almost everythingtheir is to know about the body in terms of nutrition.(mabye training to i havent asked yet)

Its an awesome opportunity, u better believe im not gonna pass it up you shouldnt either. U gotta become VIP to ask more than one question in the trhead perday tho.

ITS WELL WORTH IT!

Big Ben is right....you won't have your questions answered if you don't ask...So join vip and have at it. Also...I have three personal trainer certifications. ISSA, ACE, and NASM...So i know a thing or two about training as well...Have a great day ya'll!

[Pain]

CWUTrainer been releasing some great information in the vip section, Alot of trainers would make you pay for this sort of info.

Great stuff buddy.

Well, I gues I'll ask again if nobody else does it!
What do you think about Zink? I'm told it increases strentgh a little bit, but boost testeron quit a bit and makes recovery faster. But I also read a dutch study claimen that if you used it for 10 years (don't know the amount, the site is temporaly down) the chance to 'PROSTAATKANKER' (thats the dutch word, it would be somethng like cancer to you ..., don't know the word in english, where you store urnine, is increased 2,4 times. A lower amount (was half of the 2,4 times amount I thought) would increase the chance by 2,2 times.
So zink sounds like quiet powerfull tool, but it brings risks. Do you think zink will (significantly) help gains and how you feel about the cancer part? Sorry I don't know the amount, I can edit when the sites is up again. Thx in advance!

Oh God.....Zink (We call it Zinc, so I will refer to it as Zic from now on), what a mysterious mineral...First off, what is Zinc. Zinc is an essential mineral that is found in almost every cell. It stimulates the activity of approximately 100 enzymes, which are substances that promote biochemical reactions in your body. Zinc supports a healthy immune system. Zinc is needed for wound healing, helps maintain your sense of taste and smell, and is needed for DNA synthesis. Zinc also supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence. Source (http://ods.od.nih.gov)

In terms of bodybuilding, Zinc can play many roles. It plays a role for precursors of release of insilun, HGH and testosterone. So of course it would be beneficial for a bodybuilder to take it. However, in terms of the long term side effects that you speak of, I have heard of these as well. I am a little confused in what you are saying in your thread so I will tell you what I have heard.
In some studies, males who took 50-100 mgs of zinc a day over a extended period of their life (usually means 12-15 years) have a significant increase in prostate cancer. This is gue to the fact that high levels of zinc have shown to stop the absorbtion of other minerals like Iron and copper. This could be detrimental to your health to say the least.

What you should take? I do suggest taking Zinc, however, it has been shown to be far more beneficial to take zinc in conjunction with vitamin B6 and magnesium. All three of these come together in a popular product know as ZMA. You should find it listed any of our forum sponsors. I reco you follow the recommended dosage and wait for the GROWTH!

Merry Christmas.
This will be my one reply for December 23rd. Please go to VIP to have more questions answered today!

Well I want to give some else a chance, but this prive asnwer shit is pretty cool aswell!
Well I got a lot more nutrition/suplement questiosn I want to ask you about, but tht are all based on studies from anpother site which has been down for the last to days, so I guess I ask something diffrent.
What do you think of high reps? I ususally do one set of 12 reps, which is the first working set after my warm up sets on excersize nr one, after that 10 is the higgets I go. Except for abs and calves.
When doing machine crunches and rope cruches, I keep my reps between 6-10, because I can add weight. But when doing legg raises, I have to go higher...I used to raise only knees, became to easy to soon, so after that i raised the leff (keeping them stretched) Became to easy to soon, always around 30+ reps, and thtas was after 8 heavy ass sets on rope and machine crunches. So now I lift my leggs, but don't go down lower than 45% degrees, so I limeted the rom, but it's more the abs i target and less ...don't know whick muscles in the legg, but it responible for the beginning of the contraction on legg raises, same muscle which does most work when doing sit ups instead of crunches. Well that alot heavier, but i did 13 and 12 last time, to high already, and only becoming stronger.
But calves, damn, i do sets of 25 reps on those, simply becuase that burns the to hell, Im almost afraid of those sets, hurt so fucking bad. But doing heavy ass weight for 6-10 reps, it hard to contract the m
