Myostatin: The Muscle Killer

April 28, 2013 By DH Kiefer 16 Comments

More from my original research notes about the hormones that influence your fat loss and muscle gain: Myostatin is easily one of the most exciting discoveries of the past two decades. Its name literally means “muscle-stopping chemical,” and this couldn’t be closer to the truth. Researchers found … [Read more...]

Book Excerpt: Carb Back-Loading

March 25, 2013 By DH Kiefer 7 Comments

Exercise a Little Control It probably sounds as though insulin sensitivity lies beyond our control. Muscles will, however, use sugar efficiently—in high-volume—without manipulating insulin sensitivity. Bypassing the whole sensitivity paradigm and moving tGLUT to the surface of cells is both … [Read more...]
