Succeeding to Fail: Part 1

Instead, I am going to followup on the original series on muscular failure and look at people who succeeded at failing. That is, I’m going to start running videos to muscular failure from the people that had the nuts to step up and send them to me.

What Are the Real Essential Fatty Acids?

For nearly a century now, we thought we knew what the essential fatty acids were, linolenic acid and alpha-linoleic acid. I’ve written it in my books and in various articles as have many others. As so often happens in science, with new data comes new models. Because it looks like we may have been wrong about what the real essential fats are.

Protein Requirements and Connective Tissue

The most recent piece I wrote on the topic addressed a current idea in field where maximal per meal protein intake is about 0.25 g/lb (about 0.55 g/kg). This is based on research showing that this amount of protein maximizes MUSCULAR PROTEIN SYNTHESIS. This is assumed to represent the optimal protein requirement for growth.

Is Fasted Cardio Useless for Fat Loss: Part 2

The study took 20 women who reported performing aerobic activity several times per week. The paper states that “several were off-season track and field athletes” but no indication is given of how many it was. I mean, I take several to mean more than one but less than a few. Maybe 3? Four? I have no idea and it seems like saying “three were off-season…” would have been easy.

Is Fasted Cardio Useless for Fat Loss?

Fasted cardio refers to the idea of doing aerobic activity first thing in the morning after an overnight “fast” (i.e. not having eaten for some period of time, perhaps 10-12 hours). Hence fasted cardio. This is not a new idea although I couldn’t tell you when it really came into vogue in the fitness realm. When I first got interested in fitness and training in the mid 80’s or so it was already an accepted part of contest prep and I suspect the idea was around long before that.

Another Look at FFMI: Part 3

I mentioned in Part 2 that all FFM is not skeletal muscle. Rather, FFM includes water, glycogen, minerals, bone and organs with skeletal muscle typically making up ~45% of total muscle for men or so and a little less for women due to having higher organ mass. And at the end of the day when we talk about the idea of an FFMI cutoff in terms of being natural or not, what we are really talking about is a limit to how much MUSCLE MASS can be gained naturally.

Another Look at FFMI: Part 2

Even if this is not the case, by 1945 a book on testosterone had been written titled “The Male Hormone” which is thought to have made athletes aware of the potential benefits of testosterone. It is rumored but unproven that steroids were used in World War II (1939-1945) and the simple fact is that once the drugs were available, they were being used. And not just clinically.
