    * "Between the WWF, filming, meetings on potential projects, appearances and everything else, I make it a point to train at least 45 minutes every single day. The key to my training has to be efficiency - I do a lot of circuits and supersets, working 1-2 bodyparts a day."

    Swanson Vitamins Aminogen can increase your amino acid content by up to 127%


    Whey alone 4 hours to reach maximum total serum amino acids levels, which increased about 30% from baseline (from 1.71mg/L to 2.22mg/L).

    After proteolytic enzymes (in this case, Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus oryzae) were added.


    One group drank whey along with 2.5 grams of enzymes and their amino acid levels were 110% higher after 4 hours.

    The second group drank the same amount of whey along with 5 grams of enzymes and their levels were 127% higher after hours.

    Inulin and Beta-Glucan Stack to Beat the Fat


    Stack

    1 Serving of Swanson Ultra Inulin Powder

    1 Capsule of Swanson BetaRight Beta Glucans

    Beware - Inulin or any fiber can cause gas....go slow.

    Excerpt from Suppversity:

    Whether having 10% of your diet in form of inulin, or to make this more conceivable, having 1 tablespoon of plain inulin for every 9 tablespoons of whatever else you eat is either feasible or reasonable, is a whole different story (to put that into perspective: The average inulin intake of Westerners is 1-10g per day (van Loo. 1995). Even 10g would yet only be enough if you ate only 100g of food within 24h!)... and I must forewarn you, if you go by the fecal volume of the mice in the Arora study, it is possible that you will spend >3x more time on the toilette than usual.

    Inulin & Beta Glucan Reduce Body Fat Gain By -50% & -33%! Both Have Similar Effects on the Gut Microbiome, But Only Inulin Appears to Be More Than An Appetite Suppressant

    15mg/kg of Clove Boosts Testosterone in Mice - But no more.


    That would equate to about 1,350mg for a 200 pound man.
    15mg x 90kg = 1,350mg (three Swanson Clove capsules)

    No longterm or human studies have been done so I would approach this with caution.

    Whey the Best Source of the Chief Antioxidant Glutathione


    Glutathione is an amino acid that drives many metabolic processes in the body. These include cellular repair and building, making proteins and other chemicals needed in the body, and the support of the immune system.

    Despite all of the various benefits of glutathione, I don't recommend taking it as a supplement.
    Get your glutathione from whey. Your best source being organic, undenatured and cold or low-heat processed whey. Why?
    Because according to wikipedia:
    "Raising GSH levels through direct supplementation of glutathione is difficult. Research suggests that glutathione taken orally is not well absorbed across the gastrointestinal tract. In a study of acute oral administration of a very large dose (3 grams) of oral glutathione, Witschi and coworkers found "it is not possible to increase circulating glutathione to a clinically beneficial extent by the oral administration of a single dose of 3 g of glutathione."[26][27] However, it is possible to increase and maintain appropriate glutathione levels by increasing the daily consumption of cysteine-rich foods and/or supplements.[28]"

    Bodyweight Training Routine: Train like a dinosaur, a marine, a seal or a convict.


    I first heard about this listening to Rob Regish during the Blueprint Power Hour on Carl Lanore’s Super Human Radio program.

    Start with what’s called the Century Workout. It’s 100 reps in maximum succession with no rest. If you get all 100 reps then next session add reps or rounds.
    Here’s the workout.
     Exercise                     Reps
    Squats                           40
    Push-ups                       30
    Hanging Knee Raises  20
    Pull-ups                         10

    This workout can also be used as a deload week workout.

    Below are some great books to help devise more bodyweight workouts.

    Try Ginger for digestion, recovery, inflammation and testosterone.


    Ginger has been shown to support workout recovery, inflammation response and testosterone production.

    The testosterone support dose is about 14 grams whole in humans. That would be about 1.4 grams of a extract capsule standardized for 5% gingerols.
      
     
     
     

    Need to develop those front calf muscles? DARD to the rescue.



    Wherever you use it. The fitness center, at home or even at the office. This deceptively simple exercise device will help develop strength and stability in the ankles, knees and muscles of the upper and lower legs.

    Due to the DARDTM isolating the tibialis anterior muscle in the front of the leg, it is an excellent device to help prevent and rehabilitate from painful shin splints.

    Brown algae Ecklonia Bicyclis (Ecklonia Cava) Supports Testosterone, Burns Fat, Liver Health, Fights ED

    Try 142mg of the extract daily.

     
    FIBROMYALGIA
    Fibromyalgia patients underwent a 2 month, double-blinded study on ECE and results showed improved sleep patterns, energy levels, 30% pain reduction and 40% overall improvement. (The placebo patients had no improvement.)

    VASCULAR INFLAMMATION

    Researchers into coronary artery disease found ECE inhibits oxidation of LDL ('bad') cholesterol better than green tea. It helps remove plaque and reduces vascular inflammation, which also affects the body's inflammatory response.

    ATHEROSCLEROSIS    


    A clinical trial confirmed ECE's capacity to regenerate the cells critical to the blood vessels' inner lining and recover their plasticity after 6 weeks' treatment. It demonstrates ECE's ability to reverse atherosclerosis.

    CARDIOVASCULAR

    Ecklonia Cava Extract's many health benefits provide additional cardiovascular protection for obese patients, who are more prone to cardiovascular and coronary heart disease.

    MEMORY

    Memory can be improved by ECE, increasing the blood flow rate in the carotid artery. Another study revealed ECE compounds prevented sleepiness in bus drivers and students due to extra blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain.

    ANTIOXIDANT

    Where the aged brain may suffer reduced blood flow and inflammatory reactions, the ECE compound Fucoidan has protective effect. Its antioxidants and anti-inflammatory activity disable neuro-toxic free-radical activity.

    CHOLESTEROL

    Researchers gave 39 people with high cholesterol, average age 55, low dose ECE compounds for 6 weeks. This resulted in moderate drops in cholesterol LDL and Triglycerides and rise in 'good' HDL.

    JOINT SUPPORT

    A favourable combination of ECE's natural anti-inflammatory and tissue-protective properties appears to help improve arthritis and neuralgia. Cartilage cells treated with ECE had up to 80% reduction in degeneration.

    BLOOD PRESSURE

    Another ECE compound is a bradykinin equivalent, the hormone produced by the body, maintaining blood vessels dilated, encouraging healthy blood flow and blood pressure.

    BRAIN FUNCTION

    Researchers have found ECE inhibits beta-amyloidal deposit in the brain, the accumulating substance of Alzheimer's disease. Rats learned maze challenges faster, showing short-term memory improvement.

    RELAXATION

    An EEG study on healthy middle age volunteers found that ECE compounds can increase alpha-waves, an indicator of relaxation.

    ALLERGIES

    ECE plays a beneficial role in significantly relieving allergic reactions without the side- effects of anti-histamine drugs.

    COPD

    Findings suggest ECE compounds may prevent or reverse progressive chronic lung disease such as asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

    WEIGHT LOSS

    A beverage containing 200mg ECE was given daily to 141 young adults. After 2 weeks, their weight dropped 2.5 pounds, muscle mass increased by 2.5 pounds, and body fat dropped 4 pounds, or 7.48%.

    DIABETES

    A mouse study showed ECE reversed fat deposits in liver and pancreas cells and inhibited inflammation. Excessive fat deposit and inflammation result in insulin insensitivity and type 2 diabetes.

    PENILE DYSFUNCTION

    ECE compounds produce the chemical nitric oxide (NO) that keeps the arterial walls relaxed and dilated. Scientists studied 31 men with erectile dysfunction for over 6 months and found ECE scores higher than with Viagra
