Lot's of spinach

Popeye wasn't just a myth

You're gonna need at least 1kg (2.2lb) Per day

"of all the chemicals contained in spinach, phytoecdysteroids (a type of plant steroids) do spur muscle growth by increasing the body's conversion of protein into muscle mass. However, don't rush to the market just yet: these effect could be felt only if humans were to consume over 2.2lb (one kilogram) of spinach daily."

"Phytoecdysteroids placed on samples of human muscle increased their growth by up to 20%. Rats that had received shots of phytoecdysteroids for an entire month were also more powerful and had increased grip strength."

Imagine 2lbs....

Ideally you should be having 6 bowel movements per day

This is achieveable with 2lb's of spinach

This will ensure your complexion is almost flawless as there will be almost no toxic buildup in the colon.

I pretty much agree in principle to this theory but.... Isn't there also a factor sometimes known as "inroads"? How much you work the muscle? Sometimes it's referred to as how "deep" you work the muscles. I know these are very elastic and ambiguous terms but I can't help but think there's something more. If 100% intensity of effort in one set is all that is needed why wouldn't, after a proper warm up, a one rep max work? Taking a weight that only, with the maximum gut busting effort, you can only barely manage to perform one rep. And just to be sure say you do another forced rep where a partner helps you achieve that second rep but only after maximum effort. Say that rep is so hard that you can barely move the weight and may take 10-15 seconds just to complete that one rep. Would that be enough? Those 2 reps? The muscle has been worked at 100% intensity and even beyond but would you have dug "deep enough" to stimulate an adaptive response?

Are you still living in the crappy apartment in HI and clinging to every word of "gh15" for how to live your life...at 50 years of age? $:-\$

A muscle will not grow until it's recovered. The
muscle will not begin to recover until the nervous
system is recovered. It takes roughly 24hours for the
nervous system to recover from a workout. Only then
will the muscle begin to recover and grow. So, you
should never train 2 days in a row. Even if you train
different bodyparts, you still use the same nervous
system. You train 2 days in a row, your nervous system
recovers, but by the time the muscles begin to, you
train again, so the body has to concentrate again on
recovering the nervous system.

I hear this frequently. How do you know it takes "roughly 24 hours" for the CNS to recover? Has there been any studies that the CNS has to be fully recovered FIRST before a muscle can grow? If your CNS is fully recovered, your training intensity is 100%, nutrition and rest is optimum, does that mean your muscles will grow after every workout session? That obvious doesn't happen. Why not?

is it true free weights build muscle better than cables and machines??

gh15 · « **Reply #43 on:** May 21, 2009, 03:08:41 PM »

no ,,any resistance training will build muscle as long as you work that muscle,, great champs of regional shos and in europe were build on bow flexes tyep of machine to begin with

There are several posters on this forum that I find particularly interesting and/or worth reading: VanB, Hank Wood (very ambivalent about him but interesting), TA ( though I don't like him) and gh15 whom I find by far the most compelling. He gives us information and a perspective we would never get anywhere else. So what? Who are you and why do you care? How do you know I cling to every word gh15 says unless you are on the same thread following me? If you don't like him fine but why do you care if others read him? Why do you care about what anybody does unless it directly effects you?

Don't pay attention or follow me. I'm not that fascinating. I certainly don't know who you are and there is nothing about you that has pique my interest and nothing about you that stands out. You're just part of the chatter here. Nothing wrong with that. I'm in that same group. If you want to argue or debate a point or belief that I've made then you can address me. But why pick a fight or insult me in a way you would never do to my face or to anybody elses face? I've never said anything or even noticed you before.

So...you're still living in that crappy apartment (that you claim was busted by the Feds) and living off the insights and "wisdom" of the anonymous poster known as "gh15," no?

A natural has weaker joints and should stay away from weights period!

bodyweight/Gymnastic moves are much better for upper body development

For lower body, I recommend ice skating or uphill mountain biking.
