Cyclic ketogenic diets have been used for decades, by endurance athletes and bodybuilders, but for different reasons. Endurance athletes frequently use CKD programs to peak energy levels for an event. Bodybuilders, weight lifters interested in muscle definition, often employ carbohydrate cycles to maintain musculature while losing fat mass. Carbohydrate cycling improves physical performance or muscle [...]

It’s hard to refute, greater musculature brings the appearance of physical, emotional and professional health. A bodybuilder represent a fitness lifestyle that survives through exhausting efforts, mental motivation, progressive planning and resourceful time management techniques. Moreover, increasing muscle mass turns up the metabolic furnace in favor of burning stubborn fat stores. A reasonable rate at [...]
Media health scares treat sodium like another dietary nail in the coffin. Health professionals relentlessly warn patients about high blood pressure, a condition that can lead to cardiovascular and kidney diseases. The masses are routinely exposed to a generalized statement: be sure to minimize your salt intake. This recommendation is appropriate for the average person [...]
Thousands of companies battle over the $20-billion U.S. dietary supplement industry every day, trying to turn profit by selling vitamins, minerals, botanicals, meal replacement supplements and various sports nutrition products. With all the money exchanging hands, from research and development to overly hyped-up advertising, it’s often hard for the average bodybuilder to separate fact from [...]
There exist some fundamental concepts for maximizing muscular force and size. Training sessions must use progressive overloads to surpass previous fitness thresholds. A bodybuilder must remain specific to a certain training goal – to gain muscle, lose fat, increase endurance or strength – which is especially crucial to the success of sports-specific training. Resistance training [...]
Carbohydrate cycling is an effective method for bodybuilders who want to lose fat while preserving a lot of muscle. Two dietary periods are used: glycogen depletion and carbohydrate loading. During carbohydrate restriction, a state of ketosis develops as stored glycogen in liver and muscle tissue depletes. This accelerates fat as a source of energy – [...]
One ergogenic aid impacts major physiological events within the human body – actions distinguishing the difference between record-breaking performance and ultimate failure. This fluid pours as a colorless, tasteless and odorless substance; essential to all known forms of life. Under most circumstances, it’s free of charge and widely available. Water’s importance in human performance is [...]
Frequently, athletes research how to better layout an anabolic-androgenic steroid cycle, as well as proper post cycle therapy for making the transition back to a natural training state. Unfortunately, many neglect another component for a successful AAS cycle: maximizing the time spent on using pre-cycle therapy, better know as “priming.”
