Taurine is often referred to as a ‘conditionally essential' nutrient since the body is able to synthesize it from the amino acids methionine and cysteine. In order for this process to be executed there also has to be a sufficient amount of vitamin B6 present. The fact that Taurine is often overlooked when it comes to putting together a supplement plan makes it even more worthy of our attention. In fact, supplementing with Taurine can have a valuable impact on not only your training, but also your overall health.
The training of bodybuilders and powerlifters varies widely - in particular when it comes to the value of deadlifting. This is unfortunate because most bodybuilders would benefit greatly from the type of heavy pulls that Ronnie Coleman and Mike Francois have used to build their impressive physiques.
Sadly, most bodybuilders rely on two to three quick sets of hyperextensions as their sole spinal erector and hip movement. The hip is the largest joint in the body. When one considers the amount of muscle that crosses the posterior half of the hip joint (gluteus maximus, spinal erector, hamstrings) as well as the muscles which articulate along the length of the spine and their potential for strength, these sleepy-eyed, half-assed hypers truly seem pathetic.
Green Lipped Mussel(Perna canaliculus) is a shellfish from New Zealand and it has been ranked among the top ‘eco-friendly seafood's' by the US environmental agency, Blue Ocean Institute. It is grown on ropes suspended from platforms on the surface of the ocean. The mussels obtain their nutrients directly from the phyto-plankton and minerals in sea water. When the mussels hit their ‘peak' they are harvested with the edible portion being freeze dried using low temperatures. Each batch is analyzed to ensure that no bacteria and heavy metals are present and it must meet with the guidelines laid down by the New Zealand Ministry of Fisheries.
Vitamin B12 has earned the reputation of being an energy booster and an appetite stimulant and it's for this reason that many bodybuilders and athletes choose to supplement their diet with this nutrient. It can also be a worthy addition to post cycle treatment (PCT) since it's on discontinuing the use of anabolic agents that most athletes are likely to find their energy and appetite levels fallin
Obesity in our society, and the escalating health problems associated with it, are a constant topic on Heavy Muscle Radio, SuperHuman Radio, and throughout the forums of Rxmuscle. Eating disorders may be common in the bodybuilding world, but most of our body-identity issues are subtle compared to what is seen on any walk through your local Wal-Mart. One excuse has long been that restaurant chains, notably fast-food vendors, don't display nutritional data for their customers.

Included are the following stipulations:
