In the testosterone-fueled world of the body-builder, nuts and seeds are often dismissed as irrelevant ‘bird feed’. The big packets of protein needed for all that muscular mass must surely come from slabs of meat – or draining your protein shaker to the bottom. How can something as insubstantial and flimsy as nuts – or [...]
Are you nuts for a six-pack? Then you may be surprised to know that those hard-shelled kernels can get you on your way towards a rippling sharp-cut physique. They offer up plenty of decent protein, with which you can build and solidify your muscular-gains. Whilst some worry about the high-fat content smoothing out hard-won profiles, [...]
It’s got to be said, the mantra ′Meat-in, meat-on′ has a certain primal appeal. And for a sport so steeped in a machismo culture, the idea of vegetarian bodybuilders has always had many conventionally-minded muscle aficionados sniggering at the back. But what’s so macho about tucking into chicken breast and steak, plucked from the local [...]
Protein. Carbs. Fats. Juggling the balance of these three big-hitting nutrients is one of the major concerns of those seeking rippled and muscular bulk. Protein for building the muscle; carbs and fats for fueling your muscle-building workout. But you need to keep a close eye on the little guys too – the so-called micro-nutrients – [...]
It’s amazing how many guys (and gals) put their all into nailing the details of their weight-room work, while neglecting something even more fundamental to good form – their diet. Getting in the zone for a PB takes more than just optimum technique, timing and grit. You need to be as meticulous over managing your [...]
Throwing yourself around the gym, with gusto, can only get you so far with building-up your physique. While genius is often said to be one-tenth inspiration and nine-tenths perspiration, when it comes to reaching a pinnacle of muscular-mass, it’s the other way around. Anyone can pound out the sweat in the gym to gain muscle, [...]
When it comes to getting super-massive on your musculature, piling up your ‘calories-in’ tray is going to be a major part of your daily schedule. Packing mass needs protein – and energy– in abundance, in order to keep up with a demanding gym-based routine. So every meal should be taken seriously, to make sure your [...]
‘You eat meat for protein? That is so last-century, I use protein-powder xyz.’
You know the spiel. It seems that these days, to get yourself properly dialed-in, you have to have a degree in nutritional science. Whether it’s the pro in the ads, the gym guru, or the punky kid just pushing his first reps, [...]
Pick up a muscle-mag, and the chances are that your most admired pro won’t be seen far away from a supp bucket or 3. Protein supplements are seemingly ubiquitous at the top levels of the sport. So it’s not surprising that, if you’re seriously into the muscle-game, a big wedge of your time (and money) [...]
Protein comes to the bodybuilder in all shapes and sizes; but not all protein supplements are created equal. Complete or essential amino acids proteins? Whey or casein, or even soy-based supplements? And will that be a bucket of powder, a six-pack of bars or ready-made shakes? If you are thinking that your training schedule, and [...]
