Training Volume, Intensity, and Your Libido - How Bad is It? Who Read the Study Knows: It's not Just About Cardio ... !

Written by | published on

Both, the male and female libido are at risk by overtraining. So don't continue your daily 1h stairmaster sessions, ladies! You may have seen this study elsewhere on Facebook before... and I have to apologize that I am late to the party, but it disappeared in the "to write about" pile on my virtual desktop and resurfaced only today when I didn't find another recent study worth writing about. Enough of the excuses, though. After all, the SuppVersity  is the place to get all the study details - including an assessment of its practical relevance and a brief glimpse at relevant related research. What? No, I bet you didn't get that in one of the reposts to the abstract on PubMed, did you? Or did you understand what a low, medium or high "total intensity" was when you read those copy and paste jobs? It's not  simply the VO2max. If you thought so, you probably misunderstood the study. Overly frequent use of intensity techniques will also put you at...

Don't let her talk you into participating in studies that risk your manliness ;-) Would you be willing to participate in a study, where you could end up without testosterone? No? Well me neither... strangely Joel S. Finkelstein et al. were able to find 198 healthy men between 20 and 50 years who were stupid enough to participate in an experiment, where they were randomized to placebo, or testosterone gel (1.25, 2.5, 5, or 10g per day) while being on gosererelin acetate , which did suppress their natural testosterone production. With additional 202 subjects receiving an identical "treatment", but in this case alongside a whoppy dose of the aromatase inhibitor anastrazol as a bonus, the study design leaves us with plenty of groups and tons of subjects. To "determine the relative degree of testosterone deficiency, estradiol defi­ciency, or both at which undesirable changes in body composition, strength, and sexual function begin to occur." (Finkelstein 2013) ...

If the Aliens have seen these Bugarash apocalypse pilgrims, they have probably turned tail and fled ;-) I guess the SuppVersity figure of the week was a date "12/21/2012", I mean this is a once in a life-time event! Or do you really believe there will be another chance for mankind to be snatched from the jaws of extinction? Ok, enough of the sarcasm, the world is still there and the SuppVersity is still operating, so let's get to the not so short On Short Notice items for today. If there had been more room in the headline I would probably have labeled it "Endocrine Special" and I guess once you have gone through the posts, you will agree that this would certainly have made sense. Traditional treatment of osteopenia with Epimedium brevicornum works, 'cause it's a potent aromatase promoter (Yang. 2012) -- When a group of researchers from the Chengdu Institute of Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences and the School of Chinese Pharmacy, Chengd...

Adelfo Cerame - Road to The Wheelchair Nationals '12: Eggs, Chocolate Milk and Wheelchair Bodybuilding

Written by | published on

Image 1: It's just a Halloween costume, but one that is absolutely fitting - in every sense. I am honestly not sure on what note to introduce this week's installment of Adelfo's increasingly popular contest prep log - a funny or rather a dead serious one? I mean, even in the introduction to his very first post I have pointed out how inspiring not only his work ethic, but also his whole constructive attitude is . I mean look at him in his Halloween costume, what may look somewhat hilarious at first sight, is in fact dead serious (and you will realize that at least after reading the current installment of the contest prep series ) - if you asked me, I would not be able to name someone else who would be more suited for the role of Thor, the hammer-wielding god associated with thunder, lightning, storms, oak trees, strength and the protection of mankind... and the fact that my Thor is sitting in a wheelchair , does just add to the freaky awesomeness of someone, I am proud...

Adelfo Cerame - Pre-Contest-Prep: Back Training 101!

Written by | published on
Image
Image 1: An impressive back of which Adelfo feels it really lacks behind. Read more about how he is going to tackle this problem area, this week. Time is flying by, only 2 weeks and Adelfo will start the hot phase of his contest preparation for the Wheelchair Nationals 2012 in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. From the last installment of the series, you will probably remember that he is using this time to streamline his raw-foods intermittent fasting diet regimen, which - he hinted at that in the last installment already, has not hampered his training progress the least. Currently at 149.5lbs with a body fat percentage of 13.4% he is hitting the gym more motivated than anytime before , as you will read and see in today's installment of Adelfo's exclusive contest-prep log, here at the SuppVersity. If you want success, you have to constantly reinvent your diet I already mentioned in the last installment of this series that I felt like the introduction of more and more raw food...

Adelfo Cerame - Pre-Contest-Prep Experimentation Time: Initial Impressions of RAW Intermittent Fasting

Written by | published on
Image
Image 1: Adelfo Cerame, your man at the Wheelchair Nationals 2012 in the first week of his pre-contest experimentation phase ( Adelfo Cerame , Sept. 2011) Just about a month to go, until Adelfo will start the acute phase of his preparation for the Wheelchair Nat ionals 2012 in Palm Beach Gardens, FL. So just about the right time some serious pre-contest-prep experimentation with raw foods on an intermittent fast . As you remember from last week's student spotlight that was kind of a teaser to this series, this is going to be Adelfo's first contest prep without OCD-like 3-4h feeding schedules. And it will - at least to my knowledge - be the first meticulously documented raw foods contest prep of a promising candidate for the thought after procard that is going to be awarded to the winner of the over the overall (all classes) in March 2012 in sunny Florida. If you read some or all of my Intermittent Thoughts on Intermittent Fasting , listened to my interview with Carl...
