Indeed, leucine is getting a lot of lip service. And for good reason I will add. For a quick review, remember that researchers have shown that increases in the blood levels of amino acids results in an increase in muscle protein synthesis. Studies a few years later then went on to show that only the […]

You mean with all of the information currently available, you haven’t found something that clearly spells out how to take something?! I can understand exactly how you feel, as the way some companies market their products it takes fifteen minutes or more just to get a clear handle on what’s in the product itself. A […]
The post I have read a few posts here that explain the importance of essential amino acids in regards to muscle growth, but I am having a little trouble seeing how an essential amino acid supplement would be taken. I have read everything from “you don’t need them” to “you have to have them or you wont grow … ever”. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of clear-cut information on this. What would be the benefit including a supplement like this into my program … and how would I use it? appeared first on 1st Phorm.
Great question. I hope I can help you, man. I am not a doctor but I am a registered nurse. I have 15 years of experience in an acute care setting ranging from ICU to nephrology and medicine. I’ve seen my share of kidney failure in my day and as a bodybuilder and a nurse, […]
The post Hey Brett. I just got a call from my doctor that my routine blood work showed an elevated creatinine (not creatine) level. I’m really freaked out since I looked this up on the internet and I read that this could mean my kidneys aren’t working like they should I work out 5-6 days a week and I take a variety of bodybuilding supplements (protein powder, amino acids, creatine powder and glutamine). I eat a high protein diet- around 350 grams of protein each day.

You see the same people jogging countless miles on the treadmill and pounding out reps on the weights only their physiques do not change. They work out every day, yet their mid sections remain flabby and the junk stays in their trunk. […]
The post I eat pretty clean and go to the gym 5-6 days a week. I really like to have a drink or two (or three…or four) on the weekends with my friends but I’m starting to wonder if alcohol will make me gain weight? I don’t seem to be getting anywhere with my training goals and I would like to lose 15 pounds. appeared first on 1st Phorm.
When my husband and I returned home from Mexico in November, we got a huge surprise- we are expecting our second baby together! This came as quite a shock to both of us and we are extremely thrilled with the news! This unexpected surprise does foil my plans to return to physique competitions in 2011, […]
