The workout supplement and protein supplement is a multibillion dollar industry right now. Chances are, if you’ve been on the fitness side of the internet, you’ve probably heard of BCAAs and all the magic that they give. Amino Acids BCAAs, or branched chain amino acids, are part of the 20...

theguerrillachemist This is another study showing the importance of all 9 EAA for muscle protein synthesis. Interestingly, the authors reported that ∼20 g of isolated egg protein (containing ∼8.6 g EAAs and ∼1.7 g leucine) stimulated muscle protein synthesis after resistance exercise above that...

MPS (muscle #proteinsynthesis or #myofibrillarprotein synthesis) is a measure of how your muscles take up protein from the blood at add to their mass. . After a workout when protein is consumed, many studies use MPS to draw conclusions about where something is good or bad for increasing muscle...

theguerillachemist This preliminary study was just released showing the effects of 8 healthy trained males ingesting a ketone monoester(KE) or a placebo along with a protein/glucose mixture post workout. The KE is the monoester beta-hydroxybutyrate, 1,3-butandiol. The protocol was listed as...

Pretty interesting study about portion size and anabolism in both young people and the elderly. Researchers compared changes in muscle protein synthesis(MPS) and anabolic efficiency in response to a meal either containing 30g protein or 90g of protein, all from 90% lean beef. They study showed...

“Skeletal muscle protein synthesis (MPS) is regulated by a number of dietary factors, to include essential amino acids (EAAs). Leucine, a branched-chain amino acid, has been identified as a stimulator of MPS in many cell culture and animal studies. . However, whether supplemental leucine exerts...

Previous work has shown that taking some extra protein before sleep might increases muscle mass gains. . 🥛Our new study suggests that you probably want a relative large dose before going to bed for stimulating muscle protein synthesis (MPS, the process that drives muscle growth) during the...

Researchers from the University of Birmingham have found that extended rest intervals between sets of weight-lifting could help with muscle growth. The findings, published in Experimental Physiology, go against the conventional belief that favours shorter periods of rest. The study highlights...

By Nathane L. Jackson, RHN, CSCS Most of us would like to see greater muscle building returns from our workout investments. What if we gave you a way and it required you to do next to nothing? Seriously. Resting longer between sets is a key to greater muscle growth. Researchers from the...

theguerillachemist This recently published study is a meta analysis of all the literature(studies) about BCAA supplementation and protein synthesis. This paper uses not only oral supplementation, but intravenous supplementation of BCAA and the conclusion the researchers made will upset a lot of...

Ask The Nutrition Tactician: How Does Alcohol Affect Muscle Growth? By Paul Salter, MS, RD Last updated: Mar 17, 2016 QHOW DOES CONSUMING ALCOHOL POST-WORKOUT IMPACT MUSCLE GROWTH? Whether you're chasing an arm pump before a night on the town or squeezing in a quick workout before a...
