I am sorry Milos, I think you are a good guy, but this is just a bunch of crap..."Average male has
5 liters of blood (females have about 4)...At rest that blood is distributed throughout the body and follows certain path - normally supplying the body with physiological order of importance (what is needed the most is being on higher list of physiological priorities)...and simply organs and other tissues take preference over the skeletal muscle AT REST..."
The above is true"So, when body is NOT physical (
when we are resting) about 12-18% of total blood goes to our muscles and the rest is distributed ELSEWHERE (as I said - according to physiological importance at that moment)...
Also, note that this 5 liters of blood are circulating quite slowly..."
Also true"Well, when we start being more physically active...we start "moving" and using our "motors" ( read: MUSCLES) - our hearts start pumping a bit faster and as a result - blood start circulating that much faster and somewhat different...No longer certain organs, systems or tissues prevail in "need for blood" internal physiological war body is having on a daily bases..."
There is no war, the brain parenchyma will always recieve precedent for blood, reguardless of how much you exercise. "Now body faces extreme shock - WEIGHT RESISTANCE TRAINING and should I say: INTENSE KIND of weight training only BODYBUILDING could create...and as a result OUR MUSCLES start winning the war and getting high on the list of "physiological importance for blood" list..."
Absoultely not. The reason you feel a "pump" is that your muscles are contracting the veins, which themselves do not have a smooth muscle layer, there is less blood pooling in the veins, as a result, you feel the pump, since there is more continuous flow. This physiological importance does not change, this is a huge myth. Prove me otherwise. "More and more blood follow the path to OUR MUSCLES!! Each muscle contraction, every rep, every set and every exercise increases the need for blood...Higher the intensity - higher the blood flow...
NEW #1 - PHYSIOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE winer is certainly SKELETAL MUSCLE AT WORK and soon we have MAJOR BLOOD FLOW into the area of our body which is engaged the most = OUR MUSCLES!!!"
This is assuming that increased blood flow will cause the torn actin and myosin fibers to heal quicker and expand. This is actually FALSE. If you look at spinal cord injury victims and there rehabilitation, they use Occulsion Training, which is basically physically stopping blood flow to a group of muscles (through a BP cuff) and then working the muscle. Actually restricting blood flow during training, will upregulate receptors, which make them much more receptive to growth. Go to pub med and read about this. "Well, as science has discovered: HYPEREMIA (INCREASED BLOOD FLOW TO THE PART OF THE BODY...in this instance OUR MUSCLES) reaches incredible
80% blood flow to the muscle with up to 20 times faster circulation!!!PLEASE PEOPLE - FOCUS ON THIS!!!
If you want to deliver something to your muscles WHEN DO YOU THINK IS THE BEST TIME?Before training when only 15 % of the blood is in the muscle?
After the training when blood is leaving your muscles...or MAYBE (
)
DURING THE TRAINING - when up to 80% of the BLOOD is...where...
Oh - IN EXACT MUSCLE YOU ARE TRYING TO BUILD and doing all your heavy lifting for...day after day, week after week...month after month...should i even say - year after year...or for some even decade after decade - with MEDIOCRE results at best!
So, don't you think that IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU COULD POSSIBLY ACCOMPLISH when you have 80% of your blood in exact muscles you are trying to build and YOU ACT UPON IT - you would possibly IMPROVE like never before (or like all the athletes I am preparing who keep shocking the world with FAST IMPROVEMENTS)?
If you PREPARE your blood correctly (sound diet plan in general + 30 minutes BEFORE training knowing WHICH NUTRIENTS TO TAKE that will in synergy with YOUR WORKOUT DRINK insure that YOUR BLOOD IS ANABOLIC/ANTI-CATABOLIC BOMB - filled with maximal amount of anabolic and anti-catabolic nutrients as well as TIMELY RELEASED anabolic and anti-catabolic hormones...What do you think WILL HAPPEN?
Especially IF YOU TRAIN in this GIANT SETS FASHION where you fly from one exercise to the next, changing numerous training variables, performing mixture of lifts, using various grips, angles, tempo...repetition protocols, speeds...etc?
Well, you guessed it - YOU GET MR. OLYMPIA IN A MAKING...
I will only say this once:
DON'T SEND EMPTY BLOOD TO YOUR MUSCLES AT WORK...YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME!!!
Would you want to send FED-EX, Airmail envelope to someone as the best and fastest way of 'sending' the envelope?
Well, PLEASE - do not send EMPTY ENVELOPE - you are paying HIGH PRICE for: NOTHING!!!
Make sure you stuff the envelope...and at the same time understand that IF YOU ARE SENDING EMPTY BLOOD to the muscle (your best friend who is anxiously awaiting to OPEN your gift envelope) - you are doing the same thing!
For "stuffing" your muscle envelope go to:
www.koloseum.com"
The above is just a bunch of muckracking. On a serious note, Milos what article did you read to come up with this, and also, did you radiotype blood to measure its flow to get the exact percentages? I really doubt that you did... I am surprised more of these supplement companies don't have lawsuits against them.
cheers,
