Ultimate Pure Muscle Carbs

Any physical activity, but especially intense exercise, requires a recovery period. After high performance activity, the body recovers in three distinct phases. Rapid recovery phase begins immediately after the exercise and lasts roughly 30 minutes. In the phase, the metabolic rate returns to pre-exercise levels. It is followed by intermediate recovery phase, which lasts between 90 minutes to two hours. During this phase, the body begins to restore fluids by a process called rehydration. This is the most critical phase of recovery, which requires intake of carbohydrates. To facilitate rehydration, carbohydrates should be ingested as soon after an event or training session. Finally, in the longer phase of recovery, which can last from two to 20 hours, carbohydrate replenishment continues. It is during this longer phase recovery that the damage done to the muscle by heavy exercise is repaired.

Just as recovery and muscle repair both are important, carbohydrate ingestion ensures that event fatigue does not set in. Training and post-exercise nutrition are essential for consistent performance, but to prevent and delay event fatigue carbohydrate replenishment is equally important. This is achieved by high carbohydrate consumption in the days immediately preceding the event. This is also referred to as carbohydrate loading. Carbohydrate loading helps athletes to avoid "hitting the wall." Therefore, high carbohydrate regimen yields greatest benefits for endurance athletes. These athletes include long-distance swimmers, cross-country skiers, soccer players, long-distance runners (especially marathoners),, triathletes and, among others, long-distance bicyclists. In general, carbohydrate replenishment in most effective for any athletes who participates in an event lasting more than 90 minutes.

Ultimate Nutrition's Pure Muscle Carbs is specifically designed to help athletes recover from post-exercise strain and restore muscle strength and integrity quickly and efficiently. Pure Muscle Carbs is a unique combination of carbohydrates from natural sources, and contain no refined sugars. Furthermore, this powerful combination of carbohydrates has neither fat nor cholesterol. Equally important, it has the pleasant flavor of natural fruit punch that is refreshing as much as it is nutritious. If you exercise regularly, regardless of the intensity of exercise, Super Muscle Carbs will help you to restore muscle strength, enhance performance and promote good health.

Universal Animal Pak
http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/1/snapshot200902132ag7.jpg
Nature, in all her ingenuity, has designed the human body as the ultimate performance machine. Fact is, since the dawn of mankind, our bodies have changed very little. When it comes to feeding our muscles, we still need the nutrients we get from our diets. But when it comes time to grow our muscles in a freakish way, we need the right combination and mega-doses of essential amino acids, carbs, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids (EFAs). Only Animal Pak has what you need. You?re the kind of primal beast who trains with Animal intensity. You need plenty of the above, plus that little something extra only Animal Pak provides. That?s why we?ve also loaded the Animal Pak with performance optimizers such as PAK, IGF colostrum, nucleotides, lipotropics, L-arginine, Protogen A, eleuthero, and the like. In every pak, you?re blasted with a dizzying array of over 55 key ingredients which are delivered in the right amounts at the right time, every time.

Each of the 11 tablets included in each pak has been specifically formulated to deliver the goods. By taking the Animal Pak, you prevent the formation of nutritional gaps. Why should you care? The greater your training intensity, the faster and larger these gaps grow over time. When this happens you eventually hit a plateau. You stop growing. Maybe you?ve already hit this wall. To make matters worse, if you take other supplements, these same gaps begin to render those expensive supplements useless. Many of today?s supplements rely on enzymes and other substances in your body to ?activate? them. Nutrititional gaps mean these key activators may not function at all, so you may be wasting all of your hard-earned money on supplements that won?t or can?t work.

Consider the Animal Pak as the cast iron skillet of your supplement program, your body?s first line of defense. If you train with weights, then you absolutely need to train with the Animal Pak. Remember, while most supplements have come and gone, precious few have stood the test of time. When you?re ready for the best, step up to the most trusted name in serious bodybuilding nutrition: Animal Pak.

History in Effect
03-07-2009, 01:59 PM
Today will start the 6 days of shredding diet that will end on Thursday. I obtained this plan from the T-Nation website:

The Level 4 Leanness Plan

This schedule assumes a Saturday bodybuilding competition, photo shoot, or day at the beach.

Monday: 2.5 to 3 gallons of water, 50g of carbs or less

Tip: Buy three one gallon containers of water with a handle. This will let you visually know exactlyhow much water you have left to go. And the handle makes it easy to carry around with you everywhere ? which you'll pretty much have to do to get in three gallons!

Tuesday: Same

Wednesday: Same

Thursday: Same

Friday: Begin a gradual carb-up. Today eat five or six meals, each containing 50-75g of carbs.

In the first one or two meals, have fruits as your main carb source. Starting the carb-up with fruit replenishes liver glycogen very fast. We believe that the faster liver glycogen is filled, the more effective the rest of the carb-up will be.

For meals three and four, move to starchier, faster-absorbing carbs (yams, potatoes, rice if it's tolerated well). Meal four should be at 4PM.

Now the "fun" begins. Water intake should be cut completely at 4 or 5PM. One or two more meals should be consumed after you cut water. Have only one if you're already looking "full." Have two if not. These meals should contains carbs derived from simple sugars: pancakes and syrup, pie filling, waffles, chocolate, etc.

Along with this simple sugar meal, have two tablespoons of vegetable glycerine (found in most health food stores). Also on Friday, take an herbal diuretic such as Taraxatone. Although the proper thing to do is go by the label directions with these type of products, best results are usually achieved by taking three servings on Friday: one about an hour or two before you cut water intake, one when you cut intake, and one before bed.

Another trick is to take an Epsom salt bath (400g of Epsom salt in very hot water) for 20-30 minutes before bed. This is what European bodybuilders did to help shed water before diuretics became popular. (The salt and mega hot bat drastically increase perspiration.)

Saturday (photo or beach day): Breakfast depends on how you look.

? Looking flat? Have another simple sugar meal.

? Looking good? Small portion of fruit and protein.

? Holding water? Protein only (shake with very little water).

Forty-five minutes before pumping up for your shoot, take in two tablespoons of glycerol in one can of full-sugar soda.
