I've been doing that routine at the top for a couple of cycles, but I kept wanting to ask: What's the "hyperextended" bit in that lying leg curl? Is it different from a normal lying leg curl?

Thanks, guys, it all makes a lot of sense. Egoatdoor, I had been thinking along the same line of thought: having a cycle over 8 or 9 days, but I didn't think it was worth experimenting on it, since I had never seen anybody else recommend it. I might try that in a few months' time. BTW, I...

I've been going to the gym for about 18 months, an average of three-four times a week (one-hour sessions). I have a 4-way split routine; at the moment: Shoulders + Biceps Chest + Triceps Thigs + Calves Back + Abs So far, the bodypart that responds best seems to be the legs (thanks to years...

Thank you for the link. Here it is again, as the previous version wasn't "clickable": http://service.netrition.com/udos_choice_page.html (One funny note about the linked page: the nutritional values of the product vary slightly whether you buy an 8.5-oz or a 17-oz bottle! OK, it's a small...

What's people's opinion on flax oil as pills (or fish oil as pills, or Omega-3-6-9 as pills)? (I just find it very difficult to get hold of flaxseed oil as oil...)

Recent studies have shown that the crap made from frozen concentrate (which you dilute with three parts water) is actually the next best thing to the freshly squeezed thing, and much better than the "Del Monte" et al. boxed variety. ;) Of course, nothing beats the real unskeezed orange...

Smoke flavouring might be an interesting flavour once in a while, but in general, I would stay away from that stuff. Nowadays, most of the food products that are "so-called smoked" are in fact covered with smoke flavouring (except the high quality stuff). How is smoke flavouring produced, do...

That is a great reference! One little comment, though. There are a LOT of interrelations between those various compounds... For example, I remember that calcium cannot be retained by the body (as in bone building) in the absence of vitamin D. Vitamin D can be synthesized by the skin under...

It is water that was distilled in a lab or factory. Distillation basically involves evaporating the water under a cold conical tent. The water vapor condenses upon the dome and treakles down the edge into a gutter. In theory, you have separated pure water from all the "impurities" (minerals...

A "meta-study" (i.e. a study of studies) was made around 1998/1999 by the Public Health Authority of East Anglia (UK). They looked at all the studies that seemed to suggest that heavy meat eaters had a higher incidence of colonic cancer. What they found, in fact, was that it was impossible to...

Lots of mentions of dextrose and maltodextrin in this thread. But what about fructose? For example, what about using real orange juice with the whey shake, (and/or a banana or other fruit as someone said he did)? (I remember hearing or reading that fruit did not go well with muscle growth...
