Not in my opinion no.

Some are marketed as being quick or slow digesting but all the evidence I've seen is that doesn't really make any difference, what matters is total protein per day - and to a...

Just start at maintenance and see if you can progress. Use small increases in calories to deal with slowdown in gym progress. Nobody who is not very underweight needs to pile on weight, do it slowly...

I have had problems with a poorly conditioned upper glutes - which spasm or feel sore because they don't get used through a complete range of motion by the main lifts. Doing machine hip abductions...

Your largest calorie deficit without significant muscle loss is determined by how much bodyfat you carry - a deficit of about 33 calories per day for each 1lb of body...

Inflammation is part of a repair process. If you take medication to reduce inflammation it's usually to ease the symptoms rather than to speed recovery.

I don't think there is a wealth of evidence...

Probably is pooling blood - that's basically what a pump is.

I agree with the above, you are chasing the last 0.01% when you will make big health improvements - and most likely hormonal improvements just by losing weight and eating healthier foods. It's ...
