I'm on Size On and put on a few lbs in a week. Probably just due to being off Creatine for a while.
Useful supplements are:

Protein
Creatine
BCAAs (maybe)
Multi Vitamin
Fish oil/omega 3

If Dictionaries are to be the Arbiters of language, in which of them shall we find Neologism. No matter. It is a good word, well sounding, obvious, and expresses an idea which would otherwise require circumlocution. ... I am a friend to Neology. It is the only way to give to a language copiousness and euphony. Without it we should still be held to the vocabulary of Alfred or of Ulphilas.
—Thomas Jefferson, American politician, statesman, and writer, letter to John Waldo, 1820


I am no friend, therefore, to what is called Purism, but a zealous one to the Neology which has introduced these two words without the authority of any dictionary. I consider the one as destroying the nerve and beauty of language, while the otherimproves both, and adds to its copiousness. I have been not a little disappointed, and made suspicious of my own judgment, on seeing the Edinburgh Reviews, the ablest critics of the age, set their faces against the introduction of new words into the English language; they are particularly apprehensive that the writers of the United States will adulterate it.

Dictionaries are but the depositories of words already legitimated by usage. Society is the work-shop in which new ones are elaborated. When an individual uses a new word, if illformed it is rejected in society, if wellformed, adopted, and, after due time, laid up in the depository of dictionaries. And if, in this process of sound neologisation, our transatlantic brethren shall not choose to accompany us, we may furnish, after the Ionians, a second example of a colonial dialect improving on it's primitive.

Yet I have no hesitation in saying that the English language is founded on a broader base [than the French], native and adopted, and capable, with the like freedom of employing its materials, of becoming superior to that in copiousness and euphony. Not indeed by holding fast to Johnson's Dictionary; not by raising a hue and cry against every word he has not licensed; but by encouraging and welcoming new compositions of its elements.

"Yes, they is".

The majority of my supplements grow from my garden outside.  I take the herb, dry it out, and either encapsulate or make a tea out of it depending on what it is.  Of course, I still take basic items such as a multi-vitamin and B-12 for energy and illness prevention.  I sell them because I have bills to pay.

I am yammering about the fact that dunderheads, such as yourself,  regularly dump half rate substances down their gullets with the high hopes of harboring some sort of magic from their ingestion in order to build a muscle and yet nothing ever happens.

So what is your excuse, since the muscles are absent and the claimed effects missing from your entire body?

We also speak Virginia Piedmont and mix the Tidewater in when necessary. The Virginia Piedmont dialect is possibly the most famous of Southern dialects because of its strong influence on speech patterns of the South. Because the dialect has long been associated with the upper or aristocratic plantation class in the Old South, many of the most important figures in Southern history spoke with a Virginia Piedmont accent. Virginia Piedmont is non-rhotic, meaning speakers pronounce "R" only if it is followed by a vowel.

You can`t as there are no firm rules that must be adhered to.  If you were to read anything from the 17th or 16th century, it is doubtful you would understand it its entirety if you were to use your current standard.  Languages are a fluid thing, meant to ebb and flow, they are not meant to be a stagnant pool of limited words and ideas.

You can`t as there are no firm rules that must be adhered to.  If you were to read anything from the 17th or 16th century, it is doubtful you would understand it its entirety if you were to use your current standard.  Languages are a fluid thing, meant to ebb and flow, they are not meant to be a stagnant pool of limited words and ideas.

Why Take Dietary Supplements?
There is no question that as we enter the new millennium, the fast-paced, stress-producing lifestyle and micro-nutrient-depleted diet of the 21st Century sets the stage for chronic disease.
Research documents nutrient deficiencies through over-consumption of refined foods and a lack of specific nutrients in virtually every age group. Nutritional supplements may help prevent these deficiencies, possibly reducing the risk to chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, cataracts, diabetes, hyperinsulinism, inflammatory disorders and osteoporosis. These chronic diseases will increase with our aging population and will continue to stress our over-burdened health care system into the new millennium and beyond.
Research suggests taking certain nutrients may help reduce the risk to several common diseases, including:
· Birth Defects - Folic acid in particular and to a lesser degree vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and antioxidants are important in reducing the risk to birth defects, especially neural tube defects.
· Bone Loss - Osteoporosis is the end stage of bone loss. Osteopenia is the process of losing bone mass and occurs in both men and women, beginning as early as adolescence. Peak bone mass occurs between 20-30 years of age. Nutrients important in slowing or reversing bone loss are calcium, magnesium, copper, boron, silicon, manganese, zinc and vitamins B6, B12, C, D and K and omega-3 fatty acids.
· Blood Sugar Abnormalities and Hyperinsulinism - When there is too much blood sugar (diabetes) or insulin (the hormone that puts sugar into the cell to be used for energy = insulin resistance), there is an increased risk to eye, heart, inflammatory, kidney and nerve problems as well as obesity. Reducing the consumption of high-glycemic-index foods (foods that rapidly convert to glucose, and elevate blood sugar), weight loss and intramyocellular fat (fat in the cell), along with exercise and tailored nutritional supplementation, including antioxidants, chromium, magnesium and vanadium, may help normalize blood sugar and insulin levels, reducing the risk to the adverse effects of poor blood sugar control.
· Cancer - Antioxidants previously mentioned, along with vitamin D and omega-3:6 fatty acid balance, may help reduce the risk to cancer.
· Cardiovascular Disease - Antioxidants, in conjunction with vitamins B1, B6, B12, D, K, folic acid, chromium, potassium and especially magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids, appear to have cardioprotective properties.
· Homocysteine Elevation - Elevated levels of homocysteine (a sulphur-containing amino acid) are associated with heart disease, stroke, birth defects, gynecologic and neurologic disorders. The levels of vitamin B6 (40 mg), B12 (300 mcg) and folic acid (400 mcg) in the Daily MultiVitamin/Mineral can help lower homocysteine levels. It has not been proven yet that normalizing homocysteine levels will limit these diseases.
The best way to use the Daily MultiVitamin/Mineral is in conjunction with a regular exercise program and a whole food diet. Exercise helps control blood sugar, maintain weight and improve mood. It is also important to consume a diet rich in plant-based foods, including vegetables, fruits and low glycemic complex carbohydrates (legumes), nuts and seeds, which contain many additional micronutrients not found in nutritional supplements. An attitude that acknowledges that there are some things that cannot be changed, and looks for the positive aspects of life’s experiences, and, a daily sense of purpose are present in many healthy aging individuals.


Virtually everyone has a family history that includes a chronic illness such as heart disease, diabetes or cancer. You may be concerned that you carry a genetic predisposition to one or more of these diseases. But recent science has shown there’s much you can do to prevent disease, starting with nutrition. The good news is that with optimal nutrition, including dietary supplements, you can rewrite your life story with a happier ending.

Much has been made in the news recently about whether taking a daily multivitamin/mineral (MVM) is a good or a bad idea. Since half of all Americans are already taking MVM’s, the National Institute of Health decided to convene a panel to come to some consensus as to whether this practice is safe and effective against chronic diseases.

There are always two sides to a good debate, and trying to give Americans a one-size-fits-all solution in the form of a multivitamin is no one’s idea of a solution. But one thing I do know from my own clinical experience is that a daily, top-of-the-line multivitamin will not harm you, and it may do you a world of good. At my practice and on a personal level, I see on a regular basis the dramatic positive effect taking a good multivitamin has had on my patients, my family, and my friends.

So why are so many people still unaware of the importance of taking vitamins? Which vitamins do you need and what are the best multivitamins to take? Why are drug companies and doctors often opposed to nutritional supplements? Why is there continued debate over vitamin safety and dosages?

Let’s look at this topic in light of recent studies so that you can take an informed approach.

If you read the NIH panel’s state-of-the-science statement, you’ll see that the findings are inconclusive and that they requested more studies. The mainstream media has spun this to read that the NIH panel’s findings were “insufficient” to recommend multivitamins to the general population. In fact, the panel made no such claim — their own press release simply urged “a more informed approach.” At Women to Women, an informed approach is our standard protocol, including any and all uses of dietary supplements.

We’ve used nutritional supplements and dietary changes as medical therapies for over 20 years. To this day we recommend that every woman take a pharmaceutical-grade vitamin. Yet we agree there are reasons to be concerned about how multivitamins are marketed and used. So let’s talk about what we advocate when it comes to dietary supplements and how we answer women’s questions about the vitamin controversy.

The link between nutrition and chronic diseases

The increase in chronic illnesses is one of the major health stories of our lifetimes. Today seven out of ten Americans will die from the complications of a chronic disease, including heart disease, cancer, obesity, diabetes, depression, metabolic and digestive disorders (including heartburn and acid reflux), rheumatoid arthritis, fibroids, and osteoporosis, to name a few.

(Acute diseases, by contrast, are characterized by rapid onset, are usually treated with antibiotics or surgery and are time-limited.)

Why the dramatic increase in chronic diseases? Clearly we are living longer, and many of us under greater stress, both of which contribute to degenerative conditions. But only recently has the role of nutrition begun to be given its due.

Conventional practitioners treat chronic diseases with an ever-growing array of expensive pharmaceuticals that may temporarily relieve the painful or uncomfortable symptoms, but do nothing to resolve the underlying cause — and may actually cause other serious problems. That’s because conventional medicine is focused on disease screening and drug treatment — ignoring the more powerful approach of disease prevention, especially through nutrition.

What about the role of genetic factors in causing disease? In our view, genetics rarely determine definitively that someone will develop a disease. Instead, you may inherit a genetic predisposition — a kind of vulnerability — that when combined with other factors results in disease. Nutrition is arguably the most important of those factors.

Many of our patients at our medical practice are surprised to learn that their chronic condition or disease can so often be traced to a nutritional deficiency. But the linkage is clear enough. Nutrition affects our immune system, organ function, hormonal balance and cellular metabolism. The nutritional deficiency comes first, followed some years later by symptoms, which lead in time to disease. To make things worse, the whole downward spiral is accompanied by accelerated aging.

Multivitamins and hormonal balance

Our bodies require micronutrients for the non-stop process of synthesizing hormones from simpler molecules. It is simply impossible to achieve and maintain hormonal balance without such support. We have found it helpful to describe hormonal balance to our patients as a kind of symphony in their bodies in which the instruments of the orchestra play together to create health. When some of the players aren’t there, it doesn’t sound right — and you don’t feel good.

Remember that our hormones fluctuate with our circumstances. Cortisol and adrenaline levels rise and fall as we work out stressful situations. Stable insulin levels provide the framework that allows all of our major female hormones to communicate with one another. If nutrients are low or missing, the balance of this communication is undermined. To remain flexible and strong, especially when approaching menopause, we all need to give our hormones the wide array of nutrients they need.

Is it any wonder that so many women wake up to their health problems at mid-life? That’s the really positive change we see in perimenopause and menopause — women wake up to the choices that have given rise to their symptoms, such as poor nutrition — and then take control of their health. Improving dietary choices is a good start, but you need a pharmaceutical-grade vitamin, too. Let’s find out why.

Why ordinary nutrition isn’t enough

Americans appear to be so well fed, it seems impossible that we aren’t getting enough nutrients. But study after study has shown that most of us don’t get adequate amounts of key vitamins and minerals. One of the consequences is the increase in chronic diseases. Beyond that, many of us are living longer, but feeling worse: our quality of life is suffering as we age. We are also seeing chronic diseases manifest in younger and younger people — children are now routinely seen with “adult” diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure — which arise from the insulin resistance caused by modern diets.

How can it be true that ordinary nutrition is not enough? It’s partly a quantity-versus-quality problem. Most of us aren’t eating enough of the right things. We eat a lot of what I would call non-food: fast food, over-processed food, food with highly refined sugar, simple carbohydrates, preservatives, and large quantities of trans fats. We ingest stimulants that actually get in the way of our bodies’ ability to absorb vitamins and minerals.

Another reason is that our fishing and farming methods have changed drastically. In the past our harvests fully embodied the vital nutrients of the soil and sea, and those nutrients nourished us fully. Now we pump pesticides, inorganic feeds and fertilizers, and waste–treated water to grow a lot of food quickly and cheaply in soil and water that would otherwise be unable to support life. These practices produce crops that are big and colorful but nutritionally depleted, sometimes harmful, and mostly tasteless, too! (Think of what store-bought tomatoes taste like now compared to when you were a child.)

Research has verified that crops cultivated using organic methods are not only free of the toxins our bodies don’t need, but superior in the micronutrients we do. For example, routine application of organophosphate fertilizers over the past 50 years has decreased the calcium content of conventionally grown broccoli to one-sixth what was it was in the 1950’s. But until we as a society put our money where our mouths are and wholly support sustainable agriculture, the benefits of organic food will remain available only at a premium to the determined few. And in the meantime, doesn’t it seem like supplements are an affordable stop-gap?

We also import our food from vast distances, so it must be variously wrapped, coated and sprayed chemically to keep it from spoiling. We buy lettuce in a bag because it’s easier than washing it. But did you know that pre-bagged salad greens go through “post-harvest processing” in which the greens are exposed to a variety of gases before the bag is sealed to ensure crispness for weeks? (These gases, by the way, are not required to be disclosed as preservatives.) By the time you make your salad, the vital enzyme activity of those greens is only a memory. It may seem like a generalization, but buying local food in season, when you can, makes good sense.

Another factor is dieting for weight loss. Almost half of all American women are on some kind of diet at any given time. Many of these diets rob the body of vital nutrients. And yo-yo dieting (weight loss followed by weight gain, and then another cycle of weight loss) is a major source of stress for our bodies.

The link between stress and nutrition

On top of our questionable diet, our bodies face an onslaught of external stressors that are beyond our control. Whether environmental or emotional, these stresses are far beyond what our bodies were designed to deal with — and they increase the gap between our bodies’ nutritional needs and the vitamins and minerals that are available in our diets.

Let’s start with the environmental issues. Toxic chemicals, air pollution, radiation, artificial polymers, hormones in our meat and dairy, and pesticides and chlorine in our drinking water are just a few of the man-made hazards we all face. Fast-food hamburgers have been shown to contain traces of over 100 pesticides. Even the common practice of microwaving in plastic containers imbues our food with toxins. From whatever the source, these chemicals burden our liver with the task of detoxifying, a process that uses up some of our stores of essential nutrients.

We also have the extraordinary stresses of everyday life: children, spouses, work, friends, parents — a host of obligations and expectations! Stress has been shown to deplete nutrients and suppress immune function. That’s in part because stress produces cortisol, and sustained high levels of cortisol are very detrimental to the body and the brain. It’s why we see so many women in our clinic with adrenal fatigue. And there’s no doubt in my mind that the level of stress women deal with today is unprecedented.

So stress compounds the insult of poor nutrition in the modern diet. If the deficiency is sudden we can get very sick very quickly. But more often the nutritional deficiency wears us down bit by bit, and we slowly, steadily deteriorate. Eventually we show signs of accelerated aging and chronic disease. This is why so many of us crash and burn in perimenopause. Our problems will persist and likely worsen unless and until we consistently get the essential nutrients we need. This is why nutritional supplements can make such a dramatic difference for women at mid-life.

The role of nutritional supplements

Between the poor nutritional quality of our diets and the nutritional burdens added by modern stressors, you can understand why we tell every woman who walks through our doors that she should be taking pharmaceutical-grade vitamins every day. This small step translates into a huge leap for our bodies, which after all are miraculously good at healing injury and preventing illness if they are given adequate support.

And mainstream medicine is beginning to catch on. A 2002 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association stated that a lack of certain vitamins “is a risk factor for chronic diseases and common in the general population.” The report continues, “Most people do not consume an optimal amount of all vitamins by diet alone. It appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements.”

So why don’t we all know this? Well, as many as half of us already take some form of dietary supplement. So the obvious question is: Why don’t the other half take multivitamins too? The less obvious question is just as important: Why aren’t the people who do take multivitamins clearly healthier than those who don’t?

Many people don’t take multivitamins because they believe that doctors oppose dietary supplements. Their doctors may have discouraged them from using supplements in the past. In fact, there are good reasons why doctors are often hesitant to endorse the use of dietary supplements, and it is a good idea to understand why. Click here to read about the reasons doctors are concerned about dietary supplements.

Remember also that not all nutritional supplements are alike. This is one reason doctors are so skeptical about their use. Please click here to learn how to choose a multivitamin.

That still does not answer the "why" of the matter.  What is someone looking for precisely in accomplishing with a supplement?  

I personally think the placebo effect of it would certainly outweigh and trump the claimed effect (which it most likely does not meet or live up to).  Therefore I have to conclude that supplements are marketed to those who are either fear based or uncertain or both.

I still don't know why whey  is so expensive.  It use to be thrown out in the manufacture of cheese.  Some of the supplement's fancy bottles with slick labels are put together in a guy's garage.

Hello my friend,
It will all depend on where you are planning to travel through.  You will have either Eastern or Western style to choose from and Pit Cooked or Oven Roasted which is either entire shoulder or entire hog.  East or West, what you ideally want is Pit Cooked, Hickory fire cooked.  I recommend the Skylight Inn in Ayden, Stamey`s in Greensboro, and Lexington BBQ, in Lexington.  You will pleased with all of the above.  Don`t forget to order Hush Puppies.

Says the 30-40 year old perpetual apartment dweller who thinks decorating is putting a lava lamp over the "Econo-Fridge" which also happens to house his vast collection of Ezekiel Breads.  You have nothing, no land, no house, no savings (no future worth living). Your existence is contained within a Vinyl-Sided palace and the only companions you DO have are the Hot Pocket bread crumbs on your micro-sueded coffee colored sectional from the Super Bowl 5 months ago.  Trust me when I say this, you lead a miserable life and you have nothing at this point to show for it.

If you are happy with this state, by all means continue and disregard the above.....However, don`t ever sugar coat what it is "Hulkotron" or you may never find your way out of the plastic prison.

I'm actually quite happy with my life.  I have a nice gf who loves me, four college degrees in my chosen field of study including a Ph.D., a good job in that field, no debt other than my mortgage on the home I own, thousands of dollars in savings and financial investments, and a better physique than you.  What about you, "big" "guy"?  Happy to post photographic evidence on any of these topics as soon as you do.  What have you ever done with your life that is so grand?

I won't hold my breath.

Adonis I don't understand you at all!
First you start a tread about how useless the  supplements are , and after you recommend to eat at McDonalds to people who are pressed for time in order to have a quick meal.
Do you realize that supplements are SHIT (useless garbage) and McDonalds is UBER-SHIT (poisoning garbage for the body)!  ::)

I don't know if there will ever be a day when there are no more supplements, but most of us who have been at this a long time don't take supplements anymore.  What you realize is that you look the same as you did before.  Newbies and young people are the target of the supplement business.

Because they've been brainwashed into believing they do something for their bodies for years and years. It still happens to this day, supplement companies are always finding new ways to "market" their placebos and getting people to naively waste their money on them.

it wasn't easier to take pictures back then.

I did the same, I posted pictures in 2008 and I didn't post any until this year because I was fat.

Hello my friend,
It will all depend on where you are planning to travel through.  You will have either Eastern or Western style to choose from and Pit Cooked or Oven Roasted which is either entire shoulder or entire hog.  East or West, what you ideally want is Pit Cooked, Hickory fire cooked.  I recommend the Skylight Inn in Ayden, Stamey`s in Greensboro, and Lexington BBQ, in Lexington.  You will pleased with all of the above.  Don`t forget to order Hush Puppies.

<snip></snip>

Thanks, I appreciate your input and I will add those to the list.  I'm flying from here to Hendersonville and then renting a car.  I was planning on taking I-40 to Wilmington and then driving 17 down to Savannah and then flying home (after touring the Gulfstream facilities).   I have stops in Hilton Head and Topsail but I have three more days to account for and will fill with barbecue.

you look nerdy and those colors are horrible

get some pants in the same color as the jacket and only do one layer underneath it. match your shoes to the under layer.


Sorry, thats not the way the English do it.  As I said, I prefer heavy English as opposed to light and messy Amero-psuedo Italian.  In the first picture, (blue shirt) I antiqued the shoes myself and they are JM Weston.  I applied a museum hand rubbed finish to them and sealed them.

Alden are made in America my friend.  One of the last two quality shoes that are made here.

Furthermore, the English style, is in reality, old American style, accentuating heavy, quality fabric, raised seams and quality made goods.

Of course it does matter.  America, I believe, makes the highest quality goods when it comes to clothes or just about anything if you can find a company that does EVERYTHING inside the United States.

You see, everything the United States used to make and produce was of extremely high quality as it was all Union made.  The best stuff in the US is still Union made.  I always look to America first when I try to find something I like.  You can`t buy a better shoe than Alden.  They have steel shanks in them and will last you a lifetime.  Plus, the aniline leather is the highest quality, Italian leather is a joke when it comes to American Leather.  Same goes for jackets as well.  American made is the best you can possibly buy.

Its quite interesting with Bespoke.  All you need is a few pieces and it will last forever.  The United States used to be that way, but we now live in a throw away society so quality takes a back seat to quantity.  The English still operate that way, in that they only have a few suits usually, but they are the highest quality.

Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath, David Bowie, Radiohead, Muse, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, The Smiths, Roxy Music, Jethro Tull, The Clash, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Deep Purple, Sex Pistols, The Police, Joy Division, Dire Straits...I could go on and on.

This is indeed partly correct.  I actually started out very skinny and remaining as lean as I could. For the first 3 years of training, I stayed around 165 lbs, then for 4 years straight, I ate as much food as I possibly could without ever being in a caloric deficit. I actually liked powerlifting a bit and figured I`d just diet down one day and so I did.  I then repeated the process once or twice more of power bulking as I wanted to lift 600 lbs in the deadlift once again, that was around 2006 and my last time ever of force feeding. I had already dieted all the way down in 2004 and 2005 so I knew how easy it actually was.  After 2006, I decided to stay lean forever and not force feed.  When I say force feed, I really mean it.  It was absurd the quantity of food I`d consume day in and day out.  The amusing thing is, I could never EVER go above around 246 lbs or so, no matter how much I ate.  I was easily doing 5000 calories or more a day for months and months on end and nothing would happen.  246 lbs seemed to be the max bodyweight I could obtain.  Of course it was all fat, and I knew that, but it enabled my center of gravity and leverage to change in that I was capable of lifting and bearing pretty heavy loads.

I now maintain around 170-180 and stay very lean as it takes me only 2-4 weeks to get EXTREMELY shredded. (most of the weight lost in that time is just water, so therefore I do not carry much fat).

  Just use plain casein. It is much cheaper and keeps you anabolic for much longer than whey. Whey has a higher B.V but it is out of your system too fast to keep you anabolic. Save whey for taking after training, when you need a quick rush of amino acids to the muscles.

A Review of Issues of Dietary Protein Intake in Humans

The key issues are the rate at which the gastrointestinal tract can absorb amino acids from dietary proteins (1.3 to 10 g/h) and the liver's capacity to deaminate proteins and produce urea for excretion of excess nitrogen. The accepted level of protein requirement of 0.8g ∙ kg-1 ∙ d-1 is based on structural requirements and ignores the use of protein for energy metabolism. High protein diets on the other hand advocate excessive levels of protein intake on the order of 200 to 400 g/d. The three different measures of defining protein intake, which should be viewed together are: absolute intake (g/d), intake related to body weight (g ∙ kg-1 ∙ d-1) and intake as a fraction of total energy (percent energy).



Rapidly absorbed amino acids despite stimulating greater protein synthesis, also stimulate greater amino acid oxidation, and hence results in a lower net protein gain, than slowly absorbed protein (54). Leucine balance, a measurable endpoint for protein balance, is indicated in Figure 1, which shows slowly absorbed amino acids (~ 6 to 7 g/h), such as CAS and 2.3 g of WP repeatedly taken orally every 20 min (RPT-WP), provide significantly better protein balance than rapidly absorbed amino acids (39, 54).

The misconception in the fitness and sports industries is that rapidly absorbed protein, such as WP and AA promote better protein anabolism. As the graph shows, slowly absorbed protein such as CAS and small amounts of WP (RPT-WP) provide four and nine times more protein synthesis than WP.


Using the findings of amino acid absorption rates shown in Table 2 (using leucine balance as a measurable endpoint for protein balance), a maximal amino acid intake measured by the inhibition of proteolysis and increase in postprandial protein gain, may only be ~ 6 to 7 g/h (as described by RPT-WP, and casein) (38), which corresponds to a maximal protein intake of 144 to 168 g/d.

From our earlier calculations elucidating the maximal amounts of protein intake from MRUS, an 80 kg subject could theoretically tolerate up to 301 to 365 g of protein per day, but this would require an absorption rate of 12.5 to 15 g/h, an unlikely level given the results of the studies reported above.

 Some evidence suggests, however, that a high protein diet increases leucine oxidation (82, 83), while other data demonstrate that the slower digestion rate of protein (38, 54), and the timing of protein ingestion (with resistance training) (84) promote muscle protein synthesis.

Absorption rates of amino acids from the gut can vary from 1.4 g/h for raw egg white to 8 to 10 g/h for whey protein isolate. Slowly absorbed amino acids such as casein (~ 6 g/h) and repeated small doses of whey protein (2.9 g per 20 min, totaling ~ 7 g/h) promote leucine balance, a marker of protein balance, superior to that of a single dose of 30 g of whey protein or free amino acids which are both rapidly absorbed (8 to 10 g/h), and enhance amino acid oxidation. This gives us an initial understanding that although higher protein intakes are physiologically possible, and tolerable by the human body, they may not be functionally optimal in terms of building and preserving body protein. The general, although incorrect consensus among athletes and bodybuilders, is that rapid protein absorption corresponds to greater muscle building.

There has been a major demand for over 25 years and still is. A large number of supplement users are repeat customers therefore they're working on a few levels for most.
They're especially important for people that have illness in many areas, diabetics, cardiovascular issues, nervous system issues, joint issues, and down the list.
Once most your clowns get past your cell tech days, you'll likely realize you also want to extend the functionality of your body and its health.
85% of the industry is health/wellness/cosmoceuticals. Only 15% of the supplement industry is sports nutrition. Therefore, when you care to look, theres a lot of shit people take to live better and avoid having to take the bullshit they try to hawk us on tv. In fact, as i type this, there is a commercial on the tv about some random pharmaceutical. Go that route and you'll hike your rates and likely never be consulted by your doctor on how to get off the medication he put you on.

Adonis, being a 175lb twink and reading books all day in his drab mother law quarters he lives is, will likely live a long life by himself and need little nutritional support due to low stress and responsibilities. God forbid he wind up something like Parkinsons and find that he cant control his life without a combination of pharmaceuticals and over the counter agents like coq10... I guess he'll just outsmart whatever ailments he may come down with being the genius he is.

???  Once any type of protein is in the blood stream, they are all amino acids.  At this point the body does not distinguish between type of protein.  One type will not stay in the blood stream any longer than another.  It is rather the slower release of amino acids into the blood stream that is different.
Nice try though  ;D

OK so here is the deal, IF Adonis post a picture of himself, shirtless and holding a recent newspaper, I propose myself to receive Disgusted password and personnally delete his account. (even if it's a pretty fucking stupid statement as Ron could himself delete his account)

I think I proved myself to be pretty honnest over the years here so it's up to you Adonis

I am sure Jim will approve too

The strife that a getbigger will go through to get a man topless  ;D

because you have not been honnest in the past, as we are still waiting for the video of the 225lbs deadlift x 112 reps or the gravity suit ;D

Honest?  Are you not capable of knowing when someone closes their account or not?  I`d like to close the book on Disgusted myself as it will bring me great satisfaction and once I obtain his password, old Jim will be gone with the wind....

To be honest, I don't want to see another Adonis picture LOL!  I don't care if he's 170 or 370.  I enjoy his onslaught of ostentacious posts about food, fashion, literature, language, art, religion, etc.....it's good fun, but c'mon fellas, this is Getbig.........Get-frickin-big!!  If "the lifestyle" were genuine he wouldn't be caught dead on this site.....it's really that simple.  Enjoy it for what it is....pretentious fantasy.  

FYI ~ I use protein powder everyday.  Have a child or two and life changes.  I'm sure TA will regale us with his factoids on the use of proper english nannies for childcare LOL!!

actually as a trust fund baby obsessed with himself i find his posts completely believable, and his presence on this site quite fitting. were all narcissistic fucks to some degree.

not that he lives in a mansion and has 12 servants or anything, but the ability to live the life he claims to, yes. i dont think he ever claims anything extraordinary about his finances anyways.


btw, dont use kids as an excuse for not making food. if you would rather drink a protein shake than make food then fine. but its not cuz you have kids that you are doing so. and if you really do spend that much of your time attending to your children then you seriously need to reconsider your approach to parenting.

Tbombz has anyone told you that you look like a blonde version of Evan Centiaponti?
no but ive thought that before. there are a ton of similiarities between me and him. ex fat kid. bodybuilding fanatic. similar face appearance.

so are you saying that a 300lbs with abs beast on 2000mg of test that lifts weights for 3 hours a day have the same rate of digestion as a 100lbs bottom twink that stays the whole day sleeping??
yea thats what im saying.

the digestion process isnt effected by muscle size, gear useage, working out.
 

i think you are confusing digestion with utilization.

of course a bodybuilder utilizes much more protein than a sedentary person. but both digest things at about the same rate (individual variances may occur, but only slight)


 This doesen't mean that it will stay in your bloodstream for hours. It will take an hour to be absorbed, but once absorbed from your gut to your bloodstream it is out of your bloodtream in 20 minutes. What matters is the time it stays in your bloodstream. ;)
idiot.

once aminos are in the blood stream it doesnt matter whether its from whey or beef or whatever, the metabolism will occur at the same rate. when discussing rate of digestion we are talking about the rate at which aminos trickle into the blood stream. whey protein digests at about 10 grams per hour. that means you have 1 gram slowly entering the blood every 6 minutes.. spread out over those six minutes. so 1/6th of a gram every minute.

  This is what you don't understand, fudge packer. Whey take an hour to leave the stomach to the intestines, but once it does it is absorbed at once. It is the time it takes the aveoli of the intestines to push the amino acid peptides that matters and not how long it takes them to go from the stomach to the intestines. Hence, it enters your bloodstream all at once and is out in 20 minutes. So you are anabolic for 20 minutes and then you are back at being catabolic. Moron.

That's the only thing he can do, actually, getting things into his body, into all holes.

Tons of food into the piehole, then cocaine through the nose, then cocks up his ass now syringes into the muscle since he failed on all other holes he tried so far.

I really dont get why so many people hate on Tbombz lol. he is a big fucking dude ..only a fool can not see that ::) He has just as much muscle on his frame as Groink. (or close to it). PICS MEAN SHIT

. For example, when I saw Kuclo in Atlanta .the dude does not video well at all and looks Groink's size (smaller even) :o. I can say in 100% confidence that Kuclo has more muscle on his frame than Evan or 90 percent of pros. MIND BOGGLING. Ask Wiggs he will tell you the same thing. You want to see what 280lbs 4 percent bf looks like in real life? Go down to Plano Metroflex and see Steve train. In the vid he looks like a typical 235  gym rat though.



Like I said  some guys just dont video or take pics well
