The importance of adequate protein is largely ignored by traditional nutritionists. However, it's now well-established that 1) higher protein/lower carbohydrate diet favorably affects body mass and composition independent of energy intake

The American Heart Association (AHA) has told us that we should follow a low-fat/low-protein/high-carb diet. However, a massive Danish study clearly refutes AHA´s nutritional recommendations. Dr. Jytte Halkjaer and colleagues at the Copenhagen University Hospital investigated the associations between macronutrients (i.e., carbs, proteins, fats) and subsequent changes in waist circumference in a large, population-based cohort of middle-aged women and men.

Men looking to enhance muscle mass and strength and reduce body fat need to have optimal testosterone (T) production. Testosterone helps to achieve these goals and improve well-being in men. It's well documented that men using Lupron (i.e., a drug that suppresses natural testosterone) lose muscle mass and gain fat. However, the changes are reversed upon testosterone replacement.32

Bodybuilding, more so than any other sport, seems to have developed many myths that people cling to so strongly that they're accepted as FACT even though there may be little or no scientific evidence supporting these myths. Protein might possibly have more ill-founded myths surrounding it than any other subject, probably because it plays such a large role in any nutrition program focused on building muscle. Well, the myths shall spread no further: let the debunking begin!

It has been standard practice for many years for serious athletes to consume a high-carbohydrate meal following intense exercise. As time has gone on, this post-exercise meal has been scrutinized and analyzed to make sure that the correct type of carbohydrates are eaten to maximize the replacement of glycogen lost during exercise.

Bodybuilding has changed tremendously since 1977, when I started on my path of this lifelong obsession. Many of these changes have been positive. Training schedules evolved into those emphasizing more recuperation between same body part sessions. Advanced routines in the late 1970's and early 1980's often called for each body part to be trained three times a week over a six day per week rotation. Clearly we have found a better way.
