    Maximising Muscle Protein Synthesis

    I think the problem in the fitness industry is the conflicting information. Obviously this has been done intentionally but companies who stand to profit from misleading info. So when useful info does come out, it gets lost in the sea of bullshit. I think the truth is somewhere in the middle of...

    Maximising Muscle Protein Synthesis

    Jorn has some great studies. Waits for the simple-minded "just eat and train more, protein amount and timing doesn't matter" replies. Of course coming from our own self appointed nutritional experts with no evidence to back it up.

    I have no issues with disagreeing with me or others; I encourage it if it's a shitty argument. What is a total conversation/discussion killer is just replying "shit". Well great, may as well log out and call it a day.

    But you also have to be careful not to fall into over-simplifying everything. All calories are equal, just lift heavy weights, etc. If you're not really into fitness, great, stick to that simplified approach and get mediocre results at best. There's a lot of useful tips and advice out there that...

    Definitely one of the reasons. People are not going to hang around with miserable, grumpy people.

    It explains why it's dead. I'm illustrating a point as it's not "people who disagree with me". Everyone else on here who puts in effort I get along with great. It's only you 2 who I have issues with. And the funny thing is everyone else also have issues with you. Maybe there's a correlation...

    Right, if your muscle grows, it is now a new shape. This is problem on this forum, the dance of the 'tards arguing over semantics. Does anyone here think practically? What's one exercise where you can isolate a muscle where other muscle groups don't try to help out or stabilise? It doesn't...

    Exactly, so if you want a wider back, target the lats. How do you target the lats? Find exercises where the lats do most the work and the other back muscles are at a disadvantage to help out. People who say "widen the lats" are just using sloppy english or don't understand anatomy.

    Read above, it can change in size. Studies (I know people here don't like that word, so let's say a story I heard on the internet) show that muscle activation is increased by 20% if the person thinks about contracting the muscle while performing an exercise. So being able to focus on what...

    100% agree. There are 2 topics being mixed together here; trying to target certain parts of muscles and EMG studies to show activation. The only way to change the shape of a muscle is to increase or decrease its mass. EMG studies help for exercise selection. A lot of the time a particular...

    It's pretty clearly directed at your and Darkoz's post. First response; fuck me, fuck that, stupid studies. AusBB is breathing its last breathe before the forum falls over, and this is first response to any discussion. May as well close up shop if everything worth discussing is shit.

    You're missing the point, it's to identify which exercises target which muscle groups. Some are obvious, but some are not. For example the pull up is great for the rear delts. Building muscle is up the individual and how hard you want to train. At least with the EMG studies you can design a...

    Even though EMG is flawed, as you would need sensors in the muscle, not just on the surface fibres, it's still a good indicator of which muscles are firing. If you're going to shit on something, provide an alternative measurement or at least some half-assed reasoning. Obviously there are nerves...
