Re: Beginner’s guide to bodybuilding.
You covered almost everything in pristine detail.
I have tried some known and unknown brand of protein bars and as you wrote, not a single one caught my eye the second time. They just have too much (saturated) fat content in them and even with colorful wrappers, nothing is tasty about it.
Paragraph about protein shakes- If you break down the whey contents into further categories, isolate carries the highest amount of protein absorption but is priced a tad higher than concentrate. Your choice of protein shake, Optimum Nutrition, is wonderful because it contains both of these.
Glutamine- should these be taken in cycles, from your point of view, or are they recommended before and after every workout?
Other fat loss products are not a natural way to burn fat, as you indicated. They do offer faster benefits than going the natural route alone. Hydroxycut is a good product, works for some, others attract only the side effects. From Testosterone Nation, Hot Rox Extreme and Flameout are considerably good for fat burning and pure muscle gain.
Any views on Animal Pak? Universal Animal Pak is labeled as a multivitamin supplement.
Lastly, experience with Nitrix?
