When choosing a protein powder, one of the most important things to look at is the calorie-to-protein ratio. This tells you how much of the powder's calories actually come from protein versus carbs or fat. For most people, a good benchmark is a 1:4 to 1:5 ratio. That means for every 100 calories, you should get 20 to 25 grams of protein. If the ratio is higher, like 1:2 or worse, it means there are a lot of extra calories coming from carbs or fats. Powders like that might work for people needing a calorie surplus, but for general use, they’re not ideal and I would prefer to be getting those extra fats and carbs from other food sources. Look for powders that keep carbs and fats low—under 2 grams of fat and 3 grams of carbs per 25 grams of protein is a good target. Whey isolates usually have better calorie-to-protein ratios than concentrates or plant-based proteins.

Hello, this is the first time I’m going to downgrade the potency of testosterone…. 50mg in an 10ml oil solution…. My question is does the oil needs to be sterile with some type of benzoyl and if it is how to do this process…

I’ve always liked training in the evenings. Since I’ve had five meals by then, I felt stronger and more energetic. Now, since I’m all grown up, I have a job where I need to be early and so I find myself training around 3:30 am and on an empty stomach. I can’t wake up earlier and eat so, my questions is, any recommendations on what my last meal could be before going to bed?

Anybody here living in Colorado? I’ve never really had a workout partner, and it would be nice to have a training sesh here and there with likeminded people. Maybe even some cardio snowboarding??

I’m learning so much here that I’ve had to get a notebook where I’m keeping track of meals, habits, lifting notes, etc. as soon as I’m done I will start posting weekly pics prior to start prepping for a show. Stay tuned, fam! I think it’ll be a great way to keep myself accountable.
