- Make sure you get plenty of
protein throughout the day.
This is very important! Increasing testosterone increases protein synthesis. You need to supply extra protein to take full advantage of this "high anabolic state" the AST Sports Science pro-hormone substrates put you in. Don't skimp on protein either. Make sure it's a high quality Whey Isolate. Cheap protein is of poor quality, and exhibits inferior muscle-building properties. If there is one supplement you should not bargain hunt for it's whey protein! We highly recommend
VP2 Whey Peptide Isolate. VP2 is the only "bio-active" protein available.
Your muscles are made up of over 70% water.
The least bit of dehydration reduces protein synthesis, zaps muscle strength and inhibits the growth process - not to mention increases your chance for injury. The cheapest supplement of all - water - should be used extensively.
- Take Micronized Creatine!
Our new Micronized Creatine is a major advancement in creatine supplementation. With individual particles 20 times smaller than regular creatine monohydrate it's more efficient, gets into the bloodstream faster, and is utilized to a greater degree. Micronized Creatine is also more pure by design. It undergoes several more purification processes yielding a "cleaner" end product. We now use Micronized Creatine in all our creatine supplements.
Creatine
HSC is formulated with Micronized Creatine and also contains
transporter substrates and critical enzyme promoting nutrients that
may increase important pro-hormone conversion enzymes.
- Train heavy, train smart, and train for growth.
This requires heavy weight with relatively low reps. By low reps I mean 4 to 6. That is, use a weight that will allow you to get at least 4 reps but no more than 6. This is the perfect range for maximizing the muscle growth response. Also, there is some data that suggests this weight and rep scheme may maximize natural testosterone output.
Always strive to train heavier and reach a new level of intensity. Muscles adapt rather quickly. Constantly challenging your limits forces your muscles to adapt and grow.
- Train one body part per day.
This allows for greater intensity, shorter workouts, and greater muscle stimulation. When you train only one body part per workout you are able to harness more mental and physical intensity during that workout. More intensity - more growth.
- It's important to supplement on the days
you don't train as well as the days you do.
Your muscles are actually responding to your training in the form of growth on the days you are not training. It's important to keep your hormone, protein and nutrient levels high during this critical recuperation period.
