Are you sure that fat loss can only happen if there is a calorie defict? Because you can loose fat by manipulating what energy stores you body uses when preforming exercise. Doing a mild workout (25%...

I'm not promoting the injection of insulin, I'm just stating that it will increase protein synthesis. You can take the infomation to heart of just discard it. Some bodybuilders do it and some people...

Heres a way to increase your protein synthesis to as much as 300%. After workouts, you want to consume some food to have amino acids ready for protein synthesis. Many people's post-workout meals are...

Many people have heard that stretching will decrease your lifts and they are correct but not many people know why. Excessive stretching will not allow you to lift as much as you usually do because...

I think what DJohnson is referring to is Central Fatigue. When working out, most people belive that when they cannot lift anymore, it is due to the fatigue of their muscles, which in a lot of cases...

Thanks for the post, I love debates as well :D. I would have to say that there would be a pretty good impact on overall health and respiratory system if 15 minutes of moderate to high intensity...

Thanks for the input DJohnson (haha, been saying that line more than once or twice), great to see an awesome contribution to the forum. With the comment on cortisol, I totally agree with the...

A tsp of sugar is fine, dont worry about it. And it's not that bad for you. Your body needs it anyways.

Sorry, forgot to add this. To get a constance flow of nerve stimuli, you need to reach compelete tetnus, in the given time of a set of 4-6 reps, you will still be in incomplete tetnus.

Thanks for the reply's guys. My input on why high reps would cause a "constant flow of nerve stimuli to that muscle" is this. Sets with higher reps take longer to do than sets with shorter reps. The...
