GET YOKED WITH YOLKS
It turns out that egg yolks are better for
building muscle after a workout than the same
amount of egg whites, an American Journal of
Clinical Nutrition study says. Researchers
gave 18 guys an 18-gram serving of protein
from either egg yolks or egg whites after lifting
weights. Then they took blood samples and
muscle biopsies to track muscle protein
synthesis. The researchers found that post-
exercise response in building new muscle was
40% greater in those who had the egg yolks
compared with those who had just the whites.
Cracking open
and inhaling a vial
of smelling salts
before a big lift
may help you
generate maximal
force, a
University of
Central Florida
study says.
Inhalants that
emit ammonia gas
have been used
by powerlifters
and NFL players
for years to gain
an edge, and
this research
shows that using
smelling salts
can enhance
explosive force
output and make
your total overall
production of
force higher.
