Say it isn't true!

Layne,
What do you think of this article? Not saying i'd give it up but I love me my oatmeal with honey, cinnamon, splenda, with whey post workout for bulking..

[El_Spiko]

i don't really workout with anyone. i work along side people occasionally, but I honestly like working out better alone

Ah ok. I had noticed he was also in champaigne, and then my imagination started thrwoing thing at me like "Mind and muscle in the trenches: Layne Norton and Patrick Arnold"

why would that article make you think you need to give it up?

i visit him at ergopharm occasionally and we chat; but we've never trained together. he is a bit of a loner as well

isn't it saying that carbohydrate intake has no added benefit in adding muscle when combined with protein post workout?

that article also says that insulin levels rise with co ingestion of cho and protein, and it doesnt address the suppression of glucose uptake into fat cells....those are still reasons to take cho post workout, along with replenishing liver glycogen which tells your body its "fed" and will tell your body its good to go for adding muscle and also to replenish muscle glycogen which keeps your muscle cells hydrated and "full", which is thought to be a contributing factor to hypertrophy...I think if the study went on for a longer period of time the cumulative effects of higher insulin, better nutrient partitioning and fuller glycogen stores would probably lead to a greater amount of lbm either through less fat accumulation or a small amount of hypertrophy for the cho + pro group

[str8flexed]

that is only one study and many other studies show oppossite results

[Supernothing]

yea then you can go higher if you want to my point has always been more protein probably isn't bad but it certainly isn't 'needed' as so many 'gurus' preach

Cool, thanks. I really liked the most recent episode... gave me a good periodization idea.

I did doggcrapp for several weeks and now im switching back to a 5-day periodized split; I had a talk with the main trainer in my gym (hes a knowledgeable guy) about stretching. I also didn't really like the 2 hour DC workouts and would much rather go to the gym 2 more times per week but workout for an hour. The trainer was saying how the increase in ROM I would get from them isn't worth the hyperplasia/hypertrophy growth because it can set me up for easier injuries on some exercises. His reasoning if i remember right was that an increased ROM on a certain movements increases the chance of muscle tears (since a muscle can only be stretched so far) and he used SLDL and hamstrings as an example along with the fact that these kind of injuries are very common among gymnasts. Where as Dante and the DC crew argue the opposite and how it will prevent injuries.. lol.

You're not supposed to be in the gym for 2 hours on DC. More like 40 minutes, as far as I understand.

[laskerja]

yea dc exercises are significantly shorter that regular higher volume workouts.

[Supernothing]

The warmups for every muscle (i do 3-4 sets) and all the stretches made my DC workouts fall somewhere in between 1.5 - 2 hrs. Setting up the smith is a bitch so that took like 10 min by itself.

hey layne i can see you use Xtend how many scoop do you take during the work out and how much protein do you then get?

rigth now i am taking
Dymatize Liquid Super Amino 23000 946ml

it has 23 grams pr 50ml i take that during my work out..

[str8flexed]

Have covered my post workout nutrition multiple times but to recap

3 scoops xtend
20-30g dex or waxy maize
20-30g oats
1g beta alanine
5g creatine

Layne,

Do you put it all in a shaker at once or do you use a blender?

A shaker will get the job done. No need to use a blender.
