It's frustrating, because in the sports supplement industry, there are never any directions for taking anything. I guess because you're not allowed to tell people how to take it, but it's hard for someone to know. What gives and how do I know how much to take? And is peptide vs free form better?

Is this true?

Which one will give me the most success in seeing new hair growth patterns, or just preventing more loss?

Fat was seen as the nemesis of anyone looking to shed excess bodyfat. This led to a boom in the low-fat and diet food industry. Before long, you could get just about any type of food you wanted in a low-fat form. But something was wrong. In spite of the billions of dollars spent each year on low-fat diets, society as a whole was getting fatter. People were exercising less, eating out a lot more, and leading less active lifestyles. However, the one factor not given much thought was the skyrocketing volume of carbohydrates being consumed, not to mention the amount of sodium that was added. After all, they said it was the fat that was the enemy, not the carbs. Or was it???

The quality and quantity of the food that you eat - and the times that you choose to eat it - makes a significant difference in the way that you look, feel and develop. Food is also crucial to energy in the gym, and is often the unnamed culprit in a bad workout session. But barring sticking with cans of tuna and cooked yams, or chicken breasts and brown rice, nutrition can be a mystery to a lot of newbies and seasoned competitors alike. Most stick with just a few staples in order to simplify, but it may not be serving their every need - either in the gym or up on the stage.

Aside from being some of the biggest boys in bodybuilding, Ronnie, Jay, and Gunter know a little something about what it takes to grow. Not surprisingly, each of them consumes beef in their off-season diets.

Yet strangely enough, most people either skip breakfast altogether, or they go about it half-heartedly. A donut and a cup of coffee is the all too common breakfast of most individuals. As a bodybuilder, having a good powerful breakfast to kick-start the day is crucial for building muscle, as well as maintaining energy levels and motivation.

After all, when you went to your first competition and sat in the audience, didn't it make you want to jump up out of your seat and rush to the gym to replicate all that you saw on stage? Of course! That's why seeing a physique in perfect condition is so motivating. You see that it's actually possible to achieve what's in your mind's eye.

It's the most irksome thing! Let us enjoy fall for a few minutes, will ya'? Oh sure, store owners throw in a few turkeys here and there, and scatter the requisite number of amber and red leaves across the counters, but the truth is, they can't wait to start selling you yuletide trinkets. That's where the big bucks are anyhow, not in Styrofoam ice chests or Pilgrim gear.

We wander over to the drinking fountain 5 too many times, chat with our buddies for 20 minutes prior to starting, and sit on a bench and gaze around the gym at the hotties for 5 extra minutes per body part. Is all this necessary? Well, it depends how you look at it.

Let's face it, lots of things work for lots of people at one time or another. But the problem with most routines is they can only take you so far before they cease working and you have to move on to something else. Which is why it's a misconception to generalize and say that any change is enough to shock the body into growth again. Truth is, not just any change will do. It must be the right change.

It's the other stuff, the dieting and supplementing, that demands the discipline." Those words, spoken by Pro Bodybuilder Shawn Ray, underscore the number one reason why so many guys are sweating blood in the gym for a relatively small pay off in muscle gain.
