I'm very interested in this (and probiotics in general)....what does the kefir do for you, what kind of positive or negative effects are you experiencing?

I really like this idea even though as an American living and working overseas, I can't participate. I don't know if this is the appropriate place for this, and if it's not then the moderators can move (or ask me to move) it to its own thread. I really enjoy reading about fitness/exercise. What are...

Interesting, I was thinking about this the other day....using certain supps for certain protocols. As it stands, I cycle off creatine every Base. I don't think it helps with aerobic work. I also switch up from a magnesium supplement to a combo mag-potassium to help with electrolyte loss during the f...

I've always been reluctant to take any supplements but have highly considered a pre workout supplement to help with my energy. I've not very knowledgeable even after researching and find conflicting info. I looked at creatine but have a few concerns so have not used it. This is a broad question but...

I used to use NO-Explode and other caffeinated pwos, but for the past year I've been doing the caffeine tablet thing. 200mg pre-workout. If I'm not feeling it I add in a capsule 500mg L-tyrosine which seems to reset the kick I get from caffeine. Yes, I'm taking pills as well. I've heard of L-t but ...

I can't believe I didn't know that Optimum Nutrition made a protein bar....super low in sugar too. Will definitely try these out, thanks!

Can you still do 5 chins? If so you might want to give weighted chins a go for a few blocks. Another option is to do them PPLE style; set aside a block of time after your workouts and do as many chins as you can within your time frame. Rest as long or as little as needed, using any rep-set structure...

The gist of what I'm wondering is - is there a base level of maximal strength you can achieve at which point adding reps of push-ups is better achieved through other means? Or does there continue to be a tight correlation between maximal strength and SE, even at the upper echelons (re: advanced) of...

This is going to be my next investment. What kind of rep/set scheme does one typically do with these?

Start out with 3x3 (or even 3x2 or whatever you can handle) and work your way up to 3x5 and then 5x5.

Aelian, thank you this is what I was looking for.
