Ross and other "experts"

[xrsist]

Great question my friend, I am glad you are seeking further clarification. As a bodybuilder, LEARNING is just as important as EATING.

FOOD is the substrate for MUSCLES and INFORMATION is the substrate for LEARNING. Just like consuming the wrong FOOD is counterproductive and detrimental to one's progress, so too is consuming the WRONG INFORMATION! Therefore, it is absolutely imperative that you double check your sources, especially on the good ol' NET.

As for your question:

The single most important tasks after your workout are:

• Replenish Glyogen
• Increase Protein Synthesis
• Reduce Cortisol Response

A PWO shake is the single most effective method for accomplishing all of those tasks at once. Furthermore, a drink will be absorbed much faster, demonstrating superior biological value over whole food.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate--KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!

How do you increase protein synthesis Ross?

Also if you could elaborate on how you reduce the cortisol response, that would be great.

no answer?

because i would like to know myself, as i think many others would

Simply ingesting 20-60grams of protein PWO will increase protein synthesis, that is the POINT of having a PROTEIN shake PWO!

Reducing cortisol is achieved by replenishing GLYCOGEN, which is accomplished by simply consuming some Dextrose with your PROTEIN shake.

Everyone who thinks the 5x5 is a "beginner routine" would be well served to read this...

In actuality it doesnt get much more advanced than this

http://www.geocities.com/elitemadcow1/table_of_contents_thread.htm

http://www.geocities.com/elitemadcow1/5x5_Program/Periodized_5x5.htm

Inside of those links there are explanations of the concept of periodization and why it is necessary. I wish more people took the time to read this info... there would be a lot more happy and stronger lifters

Hypertrophy Specific Training is another one to read about. Do a google search on that one for the website. Basically it is a periodized program specifically to combine pure strength with hypertrophy.

pwo
depending on what midnframe im in .....on 100% whey plus 50 grams oatmeal if im lazy....or 100%whey and 50 grams dextrose if im hyped////i have never seen no difference just change it up depending on the mood...lololololol

i cannot see how the two cannot be considered totally different. oatmeal doesn't cause an insulin spike. the dextrose however does, it's in and out quick. i can see the benefit of the longer acting carb as oatmeal. but the protien you drink is gonna be absorbed fast so you need fast sugars and insulin in this short period. the next meal should contain your oats or longer acting carbs and more protien and niether of these should contain fats unless your doing powerlifting and don't care about bf percentage. if im incorrect here someone point me out.

what is the difference of using dextrose or throwing frozen mixed berries into my shake for fast sugars? or is it the same?

A good way to reduce cortisol is to stop arguing about stuff on the internet

Taking a nice long hot shower, relaxing and going to bed early help
