As far as malto-dextrose vs. WMS, there is not a tremendous difference in results during the offseason, but in season WMS becomes more valuable because of more rapid uptake, superior absorption of nutrients taken with it, and less bloat.Comment

whoopsie daisy ^^^ i'll keep it on the DL from now on.
I suppose with the WMS would you have to be more concerned about "going hypo" [hypoglycemic]? Would you then eat your following meal a little sooner?Comment

No, there is no worry about that with WMS. Still, the meal after the post workout whey/simple carb shake should take place about 1 to 1.5 hours afterward.Originally posted by Miss Silly View PostComment

Hello,
I have some questions for you. I am currently taking coumadin for blood clots that apparently runs in my family. I use to compete in fitness model/bikini contests a couple of years ago. I'm currently trying to lose weight that I have gained in the last year. I do not take any fat burners, but I am using some Beverly international products (Ultra 40, Ultra 4, Lean out, and Gh Factor). I am comfortable weight training 3x a week and cardio 2x a week. Mind you, I have gradually build myself up to this point. If I don't feel well, I stop and take it easy. I am not training to look like these beautiful women here (at least for now), just want to lose the extra baggage and be happy.
Are the products I mentioned above ok for me? I do feel good and have PT/INR checked regularly. I have looked all over the web for people who are on blood thinners and train, but to no avail.
I am sorry for the long post, but I have been following along this discussion, and you seem to know your stuff. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I was wondering what a typical Traps workout and Calves workout for FD/FS would look like.
I'm having trouble coming up with volume/exercises to use.
Thanks.Comment

As general "rules" about VOLUME/SETS for FD/FS training, Eric wrote: "As far as how many exercises per bodypart, you can train most with just 3. One for eccentric damage...one for stretch induced damage...one for saturation. For the majority of trainees, this is quite enough if the sets are done as I prescribe.
Some people with above average recuperative abilities could probably add a 4th exercise in either the eccentric or stretch phase.
Few people will need more than 6 total "damage" sets and 2 total "saturation" sets."
4 to 6 sets for smaller muscles like calves and traps with real intensity are ok.
Just remember that traps are also involved with delts and back training and they doesn't need too many sets and give it a try to real stretch calves.....you'll have a trouble to walk then!

To be honest, this is a question that should be answered by your physician as coumadin is a drug that can interact seriously with many other drugs, as well as certain vitamins, minerals and herbs. Some interactions can even be fatal. Personally I would feel uncomfortable and even irresponsible to give you a definite opinion on this subject. I hope you can understand. I am only concerned about your health.Originally posted by jennbruin View PostComment

For traps and calves here are quick samples:
Traps:
-DB Shrug...2 x 6-8 (4/1/X)
-BB Shrug...1 x 8-10 (1/4/X)
-CG BB Upright Row...1 x 20+ (1/0/1)
Calves:
-Standing Calf...1 x 8-10 (4/1/1)
-Calf Press...2 x 6-8 (1/4/1)
-Seated Calf...1 x 20+ (1/0/1)
There are not much choices with these muscles, so the workouts will be rather simplistic.Comment

...simplistic but PAINFUL Eric!!! Especially for calves, peoples miss to give a deep stretch after the negative's part of movements.....Comment

Just wanted to bump this thread for Eric, my Coach. this man is a miracle worker. What he has done to my physique is simply astonishing.
Yo, Coach, can I be a walking billboard for P/RR/S-FD/FS?Comment
