I see lots of talk regarding various protein supplements but no mention of BCAA :search:

 

Is there any real benefit to eating an egg raw over cooked?

 

The forgot Supplement :D And one thats Aawesome....

 

an egg is an egg, raw or cooked. Only difference is taste, time to cook, and of course the chance to catch potential bacteria on the raw egg

cooked egg typically includes the yummy yellow bit which has less protein and more carbs i was told? plus i think eating raw egg it normally an addition to the diet, like a mid-meal snack rather than cooking egg as a snack would be more of a meal. unless it was cooked and eaten later as a snack.

 

im just trying to think outside the box here :) not sure of the values cooked egg would have a protein, id guess it wouldnt be as high?

sci mx protein has LOADS of aminios :)

 

The problem with the fancy pre mixed sups with nice labels is you have no control over the mix, one scoop might have 5g of BCAA, 1g creatine and 20g of blah blah blah, each shake you make up you have no control on how much of each is going in, surely its much better to buy separates and mix yourself with the quantities you want, I imagine its also cheaper when using somewhere like MyProtein ;)

does it work long term though or just a little pump ? :)

 

Your body will get used to it, and you might need to up the dose to feel the pump you get from when you started it...

1 LARGE egg = 70cals ish.....

 

it contains all the amino acids range that the body needs :D

 

an egg is an egg in any form

yea thats true, i spose you can limit the intake and change your protein intake without loosing amino's

In regards to the egg's and drinking them. any of you guys tried pasturised egg whites from a carton ??

 

I bought about 10 cartons a while back and was having half egg whites/half milk or water in with my protien shakes. To be honest I never really noticed if I was getting any benefits from doing so as it was before I wasnt as serious about my training as I am now. Was before I was taking BCAA too. But if some of you reckon they can and will help with my training and protien intake then I'd be tempted to get some more.

 

Incase its of any relivence I train for strength/strongman events more than anything else.

Quick random question..is there a tablet/powder form of HGH?? want the results of the stuff but NO WAY am i stickin myself! I'm sick of goin to the gym and tryin to watch what i eat and getting nothing for my efforts.

 

No.....

 

Train harder, eat loads of dairy, fish, lean meats, chicken, fruits, Veg. To say your sick of going and not getting any results means you aint training hard, and eating right. simple as!!!!

 

I hear this all the time....

 

you can get tablets which are HGH enhancers, which try and get your body to increase more of your natural levels. you should try this before turning to the dark side.

 

He should train harder and eat better, before doing anything dude....

So there's a lot of focus on size in this thread but what about for someone who is after other goals rather than having arms bigger than there head :D

 

Basically I want to get back in shape, put a bit of lean muscle on and regain my athleticism for football. At the minute I'm 66kg (yes I'm 10.4 stone) and I'm aiming to put on around 4-5 kg. Right now my conditioning and physique is not so good as I've slacked off a lot. My diet is pretty good, partly cause GEO whipped it up for me a while back :D, it probably needs some changes here and there but overall it worked for well before.

 

Now I need some input on how best to go about it. See I'm thinking the best way is probably full body workouts focusing on compound movements rather than isolation mixed with some plyometric exercises but the question I have is which compound exercises would be best to achieve my goals? Thoughts? Idea's?

Olympic lifts & partials - power cleans, high pulls: improve muscle co-ordination and explosiveness

Medicine ball bench throws / bench throws on Smith machine - improve power for upper body pushing movements

Circuits - focussing on 6-8 rep movements as fast as good technique will allow (kettle bell swings, power cleans, push press, pushups with clapping, chin ups etc. etc.) will build muscle endurance and power endurance.

If youre weight is 66kg youre diet cant be hard to follow, damned I probably eat more for breakfast then you do a day :)

If youre planning on adding muscle/size you def. will need to better the diet.

Squats and deads should be youre best friends! And ofcourse bench but everyone does those, not many do squats and deads though :)

See this is the sort of thing I was looking at but was unsure which exercises I should really focus on. Previously I spent to much time doing isolated exercises rather than compound. It took a lot longer than expected to get into shape that way so im hoping shifting my focus onto a lot more compound techniques I should be able to speed things up a bit. Bare in mind I don't go the gym as I have a lot of the equipment at home and see the gym as waste to me. I just need a decent rotor to follow.

Your probably right there Thomas :D. See like I said originally im not going for out and out size as this did nothing but slow me down last time. I need to keep my speed and agility but at the same time I just need to add a little extra lean muscle and get conditioning back on track.

As for the diet no its not difficult to follow at all but I suspect it will need some improvements. I can post it up to see what you think if you want?
