Complex carbohydrates are always best, except, again, after a workout where you could take simple (sugar) carbohydrates to get an insulin spike. But at other times doing this is not very beneficial because insulin is a storage hormone and it's going to shunt everything into the muscle.

If I listened to my instincts, I'd be down at the pub chasing women, not under a 400 pound bar squatting

If those guys with better genes trained as hard and intense as me, I wouldn`t stand a chance!

The path to added muscle is consuming more calories than the amount needed to keep your current bodyweight unchanged.

Back in the 80s we were very cautious about steroids.

I also think you have less separation if you are fuller. If you go to the gym and pump your arms up they are bigger because of the blood volume, the fullness. But the separation is not so defined.

One set at extreme intensity does the muscle-building job. It must be stressed that the one final, all-out set I do takes me to the very limit of my capabilities. If you feel you can attempt a second set, then you couldn’t have been pulling out all the stops during the first set. It's not pretty, but it works.
