1352. Liquid Egg White Protein- Is is Better Than Whey??
      Whey Protein has long out sold powdered egg protein primarily on the basis of taste. Now a liquid egg protein is available but is it worth it? While at the 2006 Arnold Classic Expo, one booth caught my eye, Egg Whites International. I am no fan of egg white protein because of the awful taste, but they had a sample chocolate protein drink and I thought I'd give it a second try. I was ready pucker my face as I normally do with egg protein, however no such pucker came. Actually, the taste was pleas…

1368. Debunking Common Exercise Myths, Part 1
      Myth #1: Heavy weights make you “bulky”Heavy weights typically do not lead to increased muscle mass, moderate weights do. Muscle mass is more of a function of volume (ie. number of sets x number of reps). Muscle mass is best gained using multiple sets (3-5) for moderate repetitions (8-12) at moderate loads (70-80% 1RM). Using heavy loads (85% 1RM and above) for repetitions in the 1-5RM range will lead to strength gains with minimal hypertrophy. Hence, heavy weights do not make you “bulky.”Myth #…

      George Burns once said that the key to staying young is to “Never take short steps.” And there is much truth to that statement.If you see a stranger approaching on the sidewalk, you can tell about how old that person is by the way he or she walks.

Then if we have a fall, we are afraid we might fall again and so we begin to walk very carefully--with shorter steps.When those of us over 60 wer…
