Should you Have a High Protein Diet During the Off Season?
by Chris and Eric Martinez on December 8, 2017
In this article, we will look into the protein overfeeding research, see some of the pros and cons to a high protein diet during the off season, and give you some practical applications that you can implement right after finishing this article.
BCAAs vs. EAAs
by Bill Willis, PhD on October 16, 2017
To bring the current BCAA vs. EAA debate more into context, it helps to review the actual difference between BCAAs and EAAs. The essential amino acids (EAAs) are a group of 8 amino acids that need to be obtained from the diet, since they can’t be made by the body. In order to synthesize new protein in muscle or anywhere else for that matter, only the EAAs are required, since the other (nonessential) amino acids can be made as needed.
Making a case for Intra Nutrition
by Bill Willis, PhD on September 8, 2017Does the practice of supplying carbs and proteins during training (i.e. intra workout nutrition) work? The answer, it seems depends on who you ask. Although many people (including myself and John) swear by the practice.
Mitochondrial Matters
by Bill Willis, PhD on August 22, 2017In reality muscle growth itself is very much a process that involves one-step back to take multiple steps forward. We are constantly making-and breaking down proteins, and for good reason. Hypertrophy is the end result of a long process involving protein turnover; before actual muscle mass is added, we beat the hell out of the muscle in the gym.
Inflammation, the immune system, and making gains
by Bill Willis, PhD on July 11, 2017While staying healthy is important to making consistent progress over time, the role of the immune system in this context is mostly indirect. Sure, everything works better when you are healthy, but today we will discuss a lesser-known connection between the immune system and muscle as it relates to training and making gains: the direct one.
Post Show Dieting for Success
by Andrew Berry on June 8, 2017
Gained 20 pounds the first week after your show? Look like there’s no way you were on stage two weeks ago. It starts with the all-important cheat meal after the show. Then it progresses to maybe a cheat meal every night.
Glutathione
by Bill Willis, PhD on April 27, 2017As one of the most abundant antioxidants in the body, this small peptide consisting of the amino acids cysteine, glutamine, and glycine is critical for neutralizing toxic molecules and defending against all kinds of stress. Glutathione also has a full-time job in the liver where it helps to neutralize toxic agents before they can enter the blood stream.

You Did the Damage… Now Fix It!
by Andrew Berry on October 21, 2016
Normally, I do blood work once a year to make sure everything is in range- and it normally is, but this time I was shocked to see how bad my cholesterol was. Liver and kidneys were fine, minor enzyme elevation that you would expect from exercising daily but my hematocrit and red blood cells were through the roof.
