Supplements the debate/discussion thread

Ah good to see you got that cornered off, be embarrassing to make such a rookie mistake, a quick tip on boiling water i picked up from the food channel, i find if you pre boil the water before you boil it, you get a much more consistent boil

Cheers

I might upload a video of myself pre boiling so you can tell me if I'm doing it right
 
Steedie getting the video reference and perfecting your technique is all well and good but in the end it's useless as you aren't covering all your bases and wont be getting the gains you expect. I spent a solid 2 years researching 'the variation in size and volume of myprotein plastic supplement scoops' and discovered that during manufacture they allow for up to 2% in size variance! Now over the course of 1 day that may not make a difference but if you work it out over a full year season and the course of a full career you could be getting up to 200g less protein per year than you actually think!

For that reason alone i weigh all my supplements with pharma grade scales to ensure i get 100% accuracy and maximise my gains.

Could I use a set of bathroom scales? They still measure the weight of objects, so could I work this way to weigh my whey, so to speak?
 
When I do use supps, I make sure I'm in a clean room, face masks on, positive air pressure, and 0% humidity. Everything is also hermetically sealed to prevent contamination and possibilities of inaccuracy.
 
I noticed this morning that my 3 scoops of instant oats and 1 scoop of whey weighed about 0.5kg. I drunk it with my left hand/arm because i feel its slightly less developed than my right, does anyone know how long will i have to keep this up for it to catch up with right one?

Trouble with drinking it like that is occasionally, if you trained your triceps more recently than your biceps, your triceps will steal all of the protein, and leave only the carbs.

So your biceps will develop fat around them, while as your triceps will get huge, leading to more imbalances
 
Geez, i never actually thought about that, thanks for bringing it to my attention, im not sure how to drink my shakes now, maybe i should bend over and drink it from the worktop through a straw... only problem with that is, if i did it regularly i may over develop my back muscle and when they get a pump it would cause me to walk like a hunch back.
 
Best way to get around it is to apply a tourniquet around any areas you don't want to get bigger, so the protein only gets to selected areas

Snort it: the lung is a far more efficient gateway to the blood stream than the stomach.

If you're worried about the volume of powder (500g isn't bad), then don't: the average lung capacity is around 6 litres so you should be fine.

As long as you maintain core stability when leaning over to inhale...[/SRS]
