Nutrition & Supplementation / Re: Pre/Post workout Supplements
« on: July 09, 2010, 05:34:38 pm »
I just came across this thread and wanted to add a little to what has been said. First of all, milk contains whey proteins as well as casein so it technically has both slow release and quick release properties. That being said, I have found hydrolysates to be worth the hype for pre and post workout supplementation. I was very skeptical at first as well but gave it a shot (nothing from biotest, GNC brand "Extreme 60" and Optimum nutritions "Hydro whey". Myself as well as several clients have noticed a significant difference in recovery, especially when training multiple times daily. The importance of pre and post workout protein intake is significantly higher when training specifically for hypertrophy vs jump and speed training. Alot of the TNation info is exaggerated due to the use of anabolics which raise protein synthesis levels by a massive amount (one of the main reasons they work), so the reccomendations could be toned down alot for us natural trainees as much of the excess protein would essentially be wasted with us and they would likely be able to absorb a much larger amount. I agree that biotest seems to put out some very suspect products and I have never used their stuff as it is grossly overpriced and other companies make similar products for much more reasonable amounts. But anyway, yea the hydrolysate is actually very effective and worth looking into imo. Also carbs taken post workout are much more important for people training more than once a day as they have a reason to race to get glycogen levels back up. Typical once a day athletes have plenty of time to replinish it through whole meals later in the day.

Mixed Martial Arts / Re: James Toney Interview : Hilarious : James Toney vs Randy Couture
« on: July 09, 2010, 08:00:09 am »
haha anythings possible man and Randys chin sure has looked suspect lately. That being said, and I know this will still be up and I will look stupid if Im wrong, its just not going to happen. The boxers that can transition to MMA are the guys that fight on the outside well. Guys like Toney that have that lean on your shoulder and trade dont do well since the position they like to fight in means an automatic clinch and takedown in mma. But yea, Randy has never thrown alot of (any) kicks, so he will have to get in by boxing with him a little bit and Toney could POSSIBLY catch him on the way in, but very unlikely. (that last line is so I wont look completely retarded if Randy comes out and gets caught)

Great stuff man! I like using pauses at the sticking points in a similar manner only rebounding back up after the pause. For example, on bench press pausing right where the kid in the video did but letting the bar touch the chest and coming back up explosively as possible on the concentric. Or one of my favorites is with the squat, pausing right at the sticking point ~90 degrees or paralell, then getting the rebound out of the reflexive drop to below and exploding upward. They also work really well on rdls and conventional deads. Havent tried much of the paused unilaterals or chins, Ill have to give them a shot.
