ADVANCED MUSCLE BUILDING PROTEIN –NOW WITH WHEY HYDROLYSATE

When it comes to the REAL nutritional needs of bodybuilders and athletes alike, there is little doubt what “legitimate” science has to say about the different protein sources available in the supplement marketplace. Unfortunately, this has little to do with the marketing message spread by most sellers of protein supplements today. The competition between companies is fierce and the drive to sell more protein by differentiating a product by any means necessary (whether it’s legitimate science or not) is prevalent to say the least. Supplements with numerous “multi-time-released” proteins are everywhere, boasting absorption so slow that amino acid levels remain peak in the bloodstream for anywhere from 5 to 13 hours. Some true –most… well, not. But let’s say it’s all true –every bit of it. Good news –if you are a couch potato, don’t eat frequently enough, and only go to the gym occasionally, you may be in luck! One of these products might just sustain amino acid levels in your blood long enough for you to get up off your butt every 5 to 13 hours and eat. I wish we could play that game, but we can’t. Last we checked the typical hardcore, educated athlete using Gaspari Nutrition products is on a 2.5 to 3 hour interval meal schedule, and for this reason New MyoFusion™ delivers only the highest and most legitimately bioavailable proteins in existence –hard and fast! Remember that by ingesting quality whey proteins alone, amino acid levels remain in the bloodstream for 4 hours –the first 2.5 to 3 hours of that at potent anti-catabolic, muscle-building levels. Add in hydrolyzed whey protein (super fast acting), egg albumin (the only rival to whey as the greatest bodybuilding protein in the minds of the sport’s elite) and milk protein isolate (80% casein / 20% whey) for its “longer tail” ensuring blood amino acid levels remain high before the next anabolic blast of MyoFusion –and you’ve got the optimal condition for growing muscle the way the pros do. Although there is certainly a plausible argument for ingesting very slow moving proteins before bed in order to maintain blood amino acid levels longer during sleeping hours, for the educated athlete, a hard hitting ultra-bioavailable utility protein for use from morning to night, day in and day out, nothing will grow you like New MyoFusion.

When going to every extreme to create the most effective competitor’s protein supplement in existence, you have to go to equal extremes when developing the flavor. In medical terms it is referred to as “compliance factor,” put simply, the better it tastes, the more you will use it. The superior flavor technology behind this superfood formula ensures that you will look forward to drinking New MyoFusion every time.Gaspari Nutrition Delivers Again with The Ultimate Muscle Building Condition, New MyoFusion –Now with Whey Hydrolysate

NEW! ADVANCED FORMULA WITH FIBER – SAME GREAT TASTE
LOWER FAT 0 REDUCED CALORIE FORMULA – 33% Less Fat Than Original Muscle Milk
BURN FAT! DON’T STORE IT!

• Micellar Proteins – Stimulate Muscle Synthesis
• LEANLIPIDS™ – “Designer” Fats Promote Leanness
• Complete Caseins, Peptides and Lactalbumins – Trigger New Growth
• Lactoferrin – Increase Oxygen Delivery
• Growth Peptides – Boost Nitrogen Balance

When MUSCLE MILK® was first introduced, CytoSport™ scientists attempted to emulate one of nature’s most anabolic, complete, and balanced foods: human mother’s milk. MUSCLE MILK broke the mold, creating a new category of protein supplements while setting a new standard for both taste and performance. As a result, MUSCLE MILK has become America’s favorite protein drink. But this science of human metabolism is never static; our understanding of its complexity is expanding everyday. Recently the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) published a report that updated America’s Nutritional goals. CytoSport scientists have evaluated the report and have updated MUSCLE MILK to keep pace with these new developments.

No matter what your ultimate goals may be – building muscle mass or sculpting a toned, muscular physique – controlling caloric intake and specific physical activity go hand-in-hand with managing your total weight. When it comes to defining weight control, calories do count. Most Americans need to reduce the number of calories they consume. Since lipids fats contain approximately twice the caloric energy of carbs, minimizing the total fat content in MUSCLE MILK – while maintaining overall fat-burning benefits of LEANLIPIDS – helps to accomplish this goal.*

CHOOSE FATS WISELY.LEANLIPIDS BURN FAT INSTEAD OF STORING IT!* – Leading scientists assessing the true role of fats in increasing lean muscle growth have shown that all fats are not created equal. The type of fat determines whether you use it for muscle energy or store it as body fat! The LEANLIPIDS used in MUSCLE MILK help promote fat loss three ways:*

1. Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), the predigested, “fast-burning fats,” are more likely burned for muscle energy and heat than stored as fat. Of total lipids, human mother’s milk contains approximately 20% MCTs. MUSCLE MILK replicates this important lipid structure.*

2. Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids are also less likely to be stored as fat. These lipids are additionally functional, since they enhance mineral retention and anti-inflammatory response.*

3. Recent research reveals that calories plus engineered lipids, consumed before and during workouts, promote leanness. It is though that these calories are used for workout energy, with fewer deposited as fat.*

CHOOSE CARBOHYDRATES WISELY.
Low-sugar, complex carbs are an important part of a healthy, active lifestyle. Zero-lactose, starch-based complex carbs, as formulated here in MUSCLE MILK, supply energy to the body in the form of glucose. Glucose is the only energy source for red blood cells and the preferred energy source for exercising muscles that are operating anaerobically. MUSCLE MILK also supplies carbs in the form of fiber, acknowledging that fiber is an important part of a healthy diet.*

EVOPRO™ – NATURE’S ULTIMATE ANABOLIC PROTEIN-AMINO BLEND*
Human milk is composed of unique and highly complex proteins, peptides, and amino acids, which together promote rapid muscle tissue growth. Nature created this precise mix to stimulate muscle growth to higher levels, and EVOPRO models nature by including these same alpha and beta micellar caseins (from calcium and sodium caseinate), L-glutamine, and alpha-lactalbumin and lactoferrin (from whey). EVOPRO is your ultimate nitrogen delivery source for muscle development.*

NitroCore 24™ is INSTANTIZED, so it mixes easily. To prepare, simply add 1-2 scoops of NitroCore 24™ powder to a blender, shaker cup, or glass filled with cold water, milk or juice. Then blend, shake, or stir for about 15-30 seconds or until powder is completely dissolved. We suggest starting out with 6-8 ounces per scoop. For a thicker, more strongly flavored shake use a little less liquid; for a thinner consistency use a little more water, milk, or juice. TIPS: (1) Plan ahead and bring a shaker cup with you to the gym or office to enjoy a quick on-the-go protein shake. (2) For the richest, creamiest shake, an electric blender is always best. To prepare, add 1-2 scoops of NitroCore 24™ to a blender filled with cold water, milk or juice (6-8 oz per scoop) and 3-5 ice cubes. Cover and blend on highest speed for about 45 seconds. SHAKE UP YOUR SHAKE: By adding a few high-energy ingredients, you can blend up a delicious meal: try adding fresh or frozen fruits (berries, bananas, peaches, etc.), peanut butter, flaxseed oil, coconut, and other ingredients. STACK YOUR SHAKE: By adding supplements including creatine, glutamine, taurine (CGT-10), instantized BCAAs, beta-alanine (Threshold™) and or concentrated carbohydrate blends (Glycomaize™) you can make NitroCore 24™ an even more powerful post-workout recovery product.

Being inactive can bring negative health consequences that go well beyond lack of muscle tone and problems with weight management. A study published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology details some of the unseen differences between women who lead sedentary and active lifestyles.

Researchers recruited 20 inactive females in their mid-20s and assigned half of them to train with weights for about an hour 3 times weekly for 12 weeks. Their workouts consisted of chest presses, leg extensions, shoulder presses, leg curls, lat pull downs, leg presses, arm curls and triceps extensions. Resistance was set at 65% to 80% of one rep max. Compared to subjects who remained inactive, the weight training subjects had increased levels of estrogen and testosterone along with improved bone health.

The researchers leading this study didn’t report changes in body fat and muscle mass, but you can imagine that those elevated levels of natural growth hormones were helping to build more than just bone density.

Are you ready to put the effort into building the muscles you want? Some informed tips and advice can go a long way toward guaranteeing your success. With the right focus, and the tips ahead, you can begin making an impact today. Get the kind of muscles you want by checking them out.

Meet your nutritional needs by consuming protein in even amounts at every meal and snack that you eat during the day. By spreading out your protein intake, you get better results. For instance, if you require 200 grams of daily protein, eating five meals with 40 grams each will meet your requirement total.

Never rely on steroids to build muscle mass. Long-term steroid use makes it harder for the body to produce essential hormones naturally. More serious consequences include liver damage, dangerous cholesterol imbalances, and breast growth in men! Steroids can also damage your complexion and cause negative mood swings. This isn’t a very pretty picture, is it?

Fibre Supplements are very effective. Just like it is with proteins, you will find several type of soluble fiber. Some even come from other sources, which include shellfish. And similar to the way various proteins assist muscle building and preservation, various fibers focus on the body in different ways. A study discovered that viscous fibers such as pectins and guar gum can reduce appetite up to 60% compared to the 14% decrease realized from non-viscous fibers.

Confirmation that fibre is a useful bodybuilding supplement. Participants whom supplemented their eating plan with these fibers reduced bodyweight by 0.4% on the 4-week period. For a 174 pound man or woman, this is a nothing more than half one pound per month. Because some types of fiber were more effective for long-term success, it’s a good idea to obtain a variety of fiber in your diet.

While giving yourself a break from heavy resistance training isn’t a bad idea, you don’t want to lose any of the size and strength you’ve worked so hard to develop. Research published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise suggests that results obtained through 16-weeks of progressive strength training 3 times a week can be maintained with only a third of the work – unless you’re a mature athlete.

Two groups of volunteers (one aged 25-30 and the other 60-75 years of age) realized muscle size and strength gains during the 16-week lifting program. Within the next 32 weeks, these subjects put in either 1/3rd or 1/9th from the weight room time. Either frequency worked fine for the 25-30 year olds. In fact some gained additional muscle mass working out 1/3rd as much as the 16-week program. Older subjects maintained strength to a large degree, but needed at least 1/3rd of the work to keep pace with muscle size.

Over 32 weeks of detraining, these study subjects exercised on a loose schedule every time they found the time. This strategy might compare to what lots of fit people are planning to do within the summer. There’s nothing wrong with that. You may just have to obtain a little more serious with the planning based on your age bracket.

It doesn’t matter how young or old you are, weight training can have a positive effect on your physique. Consider the results of research recently published within the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. Scientists recruited 78 female volunteers aged 61 through 73 and had them engage in 24 weeks of progressive resistance training. Subjects trained all major muscles 3 times a week.

For the first Four weeks, load equaled 60% of 1 rep max (1RM) and participants did 12 reps per set. Load was increased to 70% of 1RM for the following for Four weeks with reps decreased to 10 per set. For the final 2 months, load was 80% of 1RM and subjects did 8 reps per set. After 24 weeks, these lifting weights seniors showed significant increases in strength and fat free mass.

It just goes to show that it’s never too late for self-improvement. The seniors within this study enjoyed renewed vitality together with an improved figure, and in all likelihood had a lot of fun in the gym during their journey.

Strength athletes’ muscle growth is not only boosted by consuming extra protein before, during and just after a training session. For up to 24 hours after a workout during a workout session, muscles react positively to protein intake. A minimum of, young men’s muscles do.

Researchers at McMaster University in Canada came to this conclusion after doing experiments on 15 students whose average age was 21. The students were acquainted with weight training. For the study they did lab sessions comprising 4 teams of leg-extensions. Each time the men trained only one leg.

On a single occasion the men trained their one leg with sets using 90 percent of their 1RM, and educated to failure. [90FAIL]

On another occasion the men did sets with 30 % of their 1RM and did the number reps necessary to match the amount of effort they’d expended throughout the 90FAIL session. [30WM]

On yet another occasion the men did sets with 30 % of their 1RM, however trained to failure. [30FAIL]

Before each work out the subjects received a liquid breakfast within the lab that contained 520 calories. That coffee consisted of 61 percent energy derived from carbohydrates, 15 % from protein and 24 percent from fat. This meant they consumed 20 g protein, which 15 g contains whey. [Ahem. Not optimal, but never mind…] The merchandise used was Ensure Plus, from Abbot Laboratories.

Exactly 24 hours after the training session the subjects returned towards the lab and were given another liquid meal. After this the researchers then measured just how much the meal boosted the synthesis of muscle fibres in comparison with the trained men that had not been given a meal. The researchers also measured the synthesis of sarcoplasmic muscle protein which of all muscle proteins together, but found no – or no significant – effect.

Pre-workout protein can improve your metabolism and fat burning capacity potential for 24 hours post-workout. Here’s another metabolism revving strategy that you could apply on any trip to the gym: Interval Training.

Canadian scientists found that a 20-minute cardio session divided into a 3-minute easy jog warm up followed by eight sets of HIIT work could be just as beneficial as twice that quantity of steady state running. The HIIT was about a minute of all out effort, followed by one minute of easy jogging, before moving on to a second set of the same thing. After completing 6 workouts like this in 2 weeks, subjects increased their metabolic rate by as much as 29%.

The one thing people like the majority of about interval training is it gets you out of the gym in half the time you’d invest in a typical cardio workout. The outcomes recorded during this study claim that HIIT can be a very worthwhile time-saving effort.

And don’t forget always use a recovery sports supplement following physical activity.

Extraordinary news flash just for serious weightlifters and serious sports people!

Latest research suggests exercising in the evening might be more productive when it comes to muscle building, maximizing strength and reducing unwanted fat when compared with morning sessions.

This concept is centred on the principal physiology of exactly how the body is controlled and performs through the day. During the course of a regular day, the body transitions between periods of good nitrogen balance and negative nitrogen balance where it’s either increasing muscle tissue, breaking it down or even somewhere between. To add to this, your rate of metabolism also changes throughout the actual day, which can easily effect things such as protein metabolism, calorie expenditure, muscle tissue cell recovery and glycogen replenishment right after a work out.

Numerous third-party researchers believe the evening can end up being the best time to help benefit from such crucial physiological factors if you would like to make the most out of your training.

So you should not delay any longer purchase a high-quality protein powder right now.

Research presented at the 2nd World Congress on Exercise is Medicine suggests that skim milk with a little chocolate syrup can help improve aerobic fitness. Scientists recruited 32 healthy untrained volunteers to peddle on a stationary bike at a moderate pace for an hour 5 days a week. After 4 ½ weeks, these subjects exhibited increases in muscle mass along with decreases in body fat. They also experienced greater improvements in aerobic fitness than subjects who were given a carbohydrate beverage or just plain water after exercise.

Chocolate milk provides protein for muscle rebuilding, carbohydrates for energy and glycogen replenishment along with electrolytes to help with hydration. These newbies experienced the potential of all-in-one sports nutrition. But once you've elevated your game past a certain point, fat, sugar and cholesterol content become more important to your goals. For uncompromising athletes, Platinum Hydrowhey is the fast-acting ultra-pure alternative.

Yes its official a recent study has found that those who supplement with protein will on average carry less bodyfat and more muscle. So make sure you make use of protein shakes and feel the benefits!
