bike_dummie Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I am. But pump is blood being trapped in your muscles rather than an 'increase of blood flow' so I don't see how it would increase hypertrophy. I'm not trying to argue, just literally trying to understand the reasoning behind it! I know you're not arguing, it's debate and disagreement is the nature of this sport being everyone's body is different. Hypertrophy is not a so black and white subject. There are two main types of hypertrophy to start with hence all the conflicting rep ranges such as 3-5, 8-12, 10-15 and so on... I dont have the knowledge to sum up the reasoning in my own words, not so much knowledge of bodybuilding but my ability not to waffle or wander of subject but iIll try my bbest to explain at least from what I believe. PUMP- Achieving peak vasodilation supports new muscular developmentThe release of nitric oxide facilitates the relaxation of the endothelial cells — smooth muscles that line the blood vessels — thereby expanding the lumen of the blood vessel (the middle space of a blood vessel where blood flows through). As the lumen expands, blood flow is enhanced, resulting in peak vasodilation. Blood plasma is the primary channel through which nutrients,amino acids, testosterone ,growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) are delivered to your starving muscles. Therefore, by feeding your system more blood, you transport elevated amounts of the various musclebuilding catalysts directly to your hard-working muscle cells. Increasing the delivery of oxygen-rich red blood cells to your starving muscles accelerates the speed at which your system is able to cleanse itself of muscle toxins such as ammonia.The removal of ammonia and other metabolites allows bodybuilders to recover more quickly between sets and perform more repetitions, which could result in better growth stimulus and adaptive growth in response to micro-tears at the muscle fiber level. Achieving maximum vasodilation also allows your body to quickly deliver metabolized amino acids and nutrients that are derived from your pre-post workout nutrition , and shuttle them directly to your hypertrophying muscles — allowing for enhanced muscle recovery and growth.

ogre Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 in a side note, you can get a kilogram of peanut butter for £2 on amazon at the moment. its best before is december '15 but even if you eat half a tub by then you've beat supermarket prices by a mile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 If it's the 100% stuff we'd smash about 6 tubs by December! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 it's pure nuts according to the packaging, made some tempeh peanut noodles with it and it was on point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 @bike_dummie I have been really busy with uni so didn't get a chance to read your reply. Thanks for the detailed explanation, it does actually make a lot of sense and I hadn't thought of it in such detail. I really like the idea of post-pre workout nutrition Peanut butter is unavailable now, but is showing £4.99 for 1kg which still seems like a good deal.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 I didn't actually watch the video, was just shocked by what Danny Swindlehurst has turned into.

TrialsIsHard Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Bump. I want to buy a big tub of peanut butter (smooth), what's good and what's not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike_dummie Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Anything with no added oil is pretty good. Amazon is a good place to shop always something on offer if not... http://www.musclefood.com/meridian-smooth-peanut-butter-1kg.html ^That's nutter butter is actually very nice I try to buy that one myself salted and non slated areboth goodboth good.

TrialsIsHard Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 @bike_dummie Thanks, I'll get some of that to try. I ordered some PB2, but not sure I'll like it as much as real peanut butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 You ever tried any of the other nut butters? We always buy almond, the wife has the skin on smooth stuff from MP and I have the skin off smooth from GoNutrition. But pricier but I prefer the taste.

TrialsIsHard Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I haven't, they seem to be considerably more expensive than pb and have roughly the same macros (from a quick Google). What do you mean by 'skin on' an 'skin off'? Also do you use it as a butter replacement, so toast, oats and that kind of thing? Can't imagine it would make nice scrambled eggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Like if you buy whole almonds they usually have the skin on but when you see blanched/flaked/ground almonds they're quite pale (spelling?). Makes quite a bit of difference to taste! I only use it in protein shakes or baking as nuts make me wretch uncontrollably but the wife will have it on toast/crackers or just a dollop in a bowl with some sliced fruit to scoop it up with.

isitafox Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Think I may need to go to the doctors. I've noticed before a lump on both my shoulders (can just see in the pic) mainly when I've done back squats and put it down to just inflammation from the bar resting there but after having a read this morning it looks like it could be an injury I picked up without realising on my AC joints. I don't get any shoulder pain (did do years ago) and after reading about it I can't weigh up whether or not there's anything that can be done about it. Either way I'm best getting it looked at!

TrialsIsHard Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Is the lump not always there, even acutely? I would go and get that checked out regardless but it seems strange that it hasn't equated to a loss in range of motion in your shoulder, which means it could be just due to the bar. In PB2 related news, it's amazing! I had 12g of it in my oats this morning, which equated to around one very large tablespoon worth of real peanut butter. Within that were 45 calories, and 1.5g of fat. When compared to real peanut butter which would be ~190 calories and 14g of fat this is a no brainer for anyone that loves peanut butter but doesn't want the calories from it. Totally recommend.
