I’ll have a whole thread on this later on. But i’ve been reading ‘The Hybrid Approach to Maximum Muscularity’ and ‘McDougie’s progress thread’ and I have a few very good ideas about my next attempt to gain lean muscle. Anyway here’s a few questions to start off ?
-
After a post-workout consumption of maltodextrin and whey protein, how long would insulin be elevated for. Theoretically take the example 61g maltodextrin, and 130g whey (i’ll explain the high protein later) ?
-
How long does it take to digest a fibrous vegetable and minced beef meal ?
-
What are the conditions necessary for hypertrophy ? Do metabolites need to build up, do they need to reach a certain concentration ?
-
If creatine was used, and lactic acid is a necessary metabolite for growth, wouldn’t the buffering affect of creatine be a hinderance to growth ?
-
Just to throw out a little taster of my ideas, i reckon, protein cycling on a day scale is the key to lean mass gains. Small protein amounts with fat, until workout, 30% of protein pre workout, 30% post, with 40% carbs pre and 40% post.
Thanks guys
