Stadion's Sports and Martial Arts Training Discussion

steroids WILL help ANY performance athlete, from marathon runner to weightlifter.

my trainer in olympic lifting and his collegues seem to agree too much strength work can make one slower, which i assume should be translated as "don't neglect speed work when working on strength", 'cause they also agree on "a lifter can never squat, pull or push press too much". i also think streng...

ok but is proteins the only supplements body builders are taking? :wink: bodybuilders... year round: * high dose multi vitamins and minerals * various protein concentrates/isolates * Creatine Monohydrate * Essential Fatty Acids * Branched Chain Amino Acids * Essential Amino Acids Contest Preparatio...

I did the general mental preparation and am very pleased with the results, I am amazed how good the relaxation exercises work. Initially it was very weird to me and my slight scepticism held me a little back but after I experienced how I could really feel the relaxation, any trace of scepticism towa...

I have seen it before, I highly doubt you will get as much info as you get from the DVD Secrets of Stretching.

My main interest is developing the ability to control my level of arousal.

I want to be able to restrict my nervousness when approaching a competition and have more confidence in stress.

Is this maaterial applicable to other sports?

If you can only affort one item, just get "Science of Sports Training...", you could also buy used books.

Because I do not own the book

I'm considering of getting it, is there any chance there are distributors of your books in Europe? Otherwise I will have to send cash

It' confusing, all these different theories, maybe I should become a nutritionist myself

Thanks anyway

Thanks a lot Dragon, I will try to be as helpful as you if you ever have questions

I have ordered a book called "Power Eating" by Susan M. Kleiner (http://www.powereating.com), I'll give it a go

Yes my diet is quite 'strict', I weigh my food etc :lol: to make sure how much of what I am eating, I am also at 8% bodyfat now. So if I take it slow, I should be able to add muscle mass without much fat gain? Because I don't want to go the 'bulk' and 'cut' route, which causes great fat gains. When ...

I'm even more confused now

Aerobic exercise is the key to low bodyfat, but power athletes can't do them, yet many have very low body fat percentages. Do sprinters etc just manipulate their bodyfat with their genes,diet and drugs or do they also perform aerobic exercise?

Thanks for the effort, Dragon :) Unfortunately weightlifters can not experience these dramatic increases in "muscle" mass bodybuilders achieve through their high rep training and bulking diets, we have to take it slower, if a weightgain is to be truly effective (a gain of a pound for example will ha...
