SOunds like something Arnie would do! but he was hard, then again so is Cookie lol

Here we go mister quantum negativety;)

Yes i have tried it myself you should know by now I never give advice unless I have used it myself first.

If you arent gear assisted then you up the protein especially after the workout ie,a double protein shake and extra bcaa`s

The DOMS subside due to the morning raises being a flushing workout to remove latic acid build up and flush the muscles with fresh blood,keep them moving and stop them from tighting up and keep em pumped to enlarge capillary growth.

Yes Arnold did do something simular for his calves when he went out to south africa to train with his idol Reg Park,but Reg had him train em heavy EVERYDAY no pumping workouts.

You have to remember this is just a shock tactic to get the calves to grow and grow they do seen it happen a few times,best gains seen were just over an inch after the 3 cycles,but it takes dedication especially the morning pumping workouts(which have to be done as fast as possible).

So to recap
3 heavy sessions and 3 pumping sessions each week with the 7th day as rest(just as GOD himself intended)

2 weeks on 1 week off

Increasing the reps for the morning workouts every cycle by 100 reps.

I have another one aswell for the seriously brave

And even a thigh workout which put a 1/4 of perminent growth on my own thighs after just 1 workout:lift:

As for being brave spdr not really that brave just

Lol, nice one Cookie.


One point though, you do 200 reps on your calves to flush OUT the lactic acid? You are hard mate there is nooo denying it

SD
weeks 1+2 100reps
week 3 rest
weeks 4+5 200reps
week 6 rest
weeks 7+8 300reps
week 9 have a pint on me you`ve just got bigger calves :lift:

I`m doubly hard when i manage 300 reps:p

Saying that i used to do 300 rep leg workouts(thighs only) to bring the cuts out

When doing the flushing workout speed is important just bang em out as fast as poss and this does help with keeping the lactic down and the pump up.

I wouldnt advice doing both together but here goes.

You need a hamper of food as you`ll be in the gym for quite a few hrs,lmfao.

No seriously lots of protein shakes some carbs shakes a little creatine and lots of either bcaa`s or my fav a tub of dessicated liver tabs some kelp tabs and some brewers yeast tabs vit/min tabs.

You`ll be doing 3 workouts consisting of triple drop set of leg extensions straight into hack squats(triple drop) then front squats(triple drop) workout time about 10-15 mins no rest between exercises.

Hit the reception area and troff down the shakes tabs and creatine and rest an hr or so then do the same workout again repeat the refeed(you`ll find you`ll eat more this time)and rest a good 1.5-2hrs then do the workout 1 last time(you should feel like dying at this point and my ears should be burning with all the profanaties your saying about me)by this last workout you should only manage to be able to use your warm up weights and they should feel dam heavy.

Then massive refeed with whatever is available.

Go home rest massage feed sleep and grow.

The following are for sportsdr(save his typing fingers)lmao

Is it painfull/

You bet your life it is.

Will I be able to walk next day?

Not likely if done correctly.

Will I grow from it???

Sure will both in mass and attitude to being able to push yourself to new limits.

But its overtraining??

Not if you get the protein and aminos down it isnt plus their low volume so not too much stress on digestion and stomach as a whole.

Will I hate you at the end????

You better or you havent done it right

How much will I grow???

My legs were 2 inches bigger for about 7 days afterwards,then the swelling started to go down and I ended up with a total gain of 1/4 inch,but I didnt train legs again for 2 whole weeks as it just wasnt possible.

I give the above for informational and discussion only I accept no responsibility for time off work(due to walking like you`ve sh!t yourself badly)or falling out with wifes/girlfreinds etc cos they cant cuddle upto you in bed cos (a) your legs are sore (b)are huge due to swelling and new muscle growth.

Now go enjoy yourselfs my little cookie monsters in the making,lmfao

All hail the cookie

He`s mad bad but soft in the centre and ooohhhh so nice.

Yah but cookie, you walk over 50 miles a week and your calves are used to the volume. This is rather alot for the average joe who drives everywhere no doing world traveling walking around

Fat people have the biggest calves ever.
Mine are rather large @ 16.5"-17", I never train them. I am afraid they will get bigger and make my quads look smaller so I dont train them at all.
I take that back, I trained them once about 5 years ago and could not walk for 3 days

I wouldnt bother...mine wouldnt do it so had to do it myself with the gym owner spotting me then having to help carry me off the gym floor after the 3rd workout....legs collapsed couldnt hold me up for about an hour and I needed to eat



You can also use the same principle(multipule workouts + refeeds) to bing up lagging calves but that is another one not for the faint hearted


If your seriously going to do it DB I would shoot for at least 400-500grms protein at the gym alone(shakes aminos mostly) and spend a day or so working yourself up into a state to attack the workouts right as each one has to be total balls to the walls.

Have fun and hope it works well for ya like it did me:lift:

Did the leg workouts as normal durin the week then hit them with the routine on a saturday then didnt hit them again till all the soreness had gone,just wasnt possible to train and to do anymore would have been too much too soon.

Anti-tumour Agents

Another potential role of fatty acids in the patient with malignant disease is as anti-tumour agents. Although they can cause immune suppression (see above) the metabolic pathways involved in EFA metabolism may be different between benign and malignant cells and this may be exploited as a potential anti-tumour therapy.

Although this area of EFA metabolism is complex, it is known that EFAs are susceptible to lipid peroxidation. Peroxidation is the process whereby molecules such as hydroxyl radicals, superoxide and oxygenated lipids are produced. These products can not only damage DNA but are also implicated in control of cell division. Rapidly proliferating tissues have lower levels of lipid peroxidation than do more slowly proliferating tissues.75,76 It is also know that malignant cells have higher levels of anti-oxidants and lower levels of the desaturated-EFA metabolites (derived from either gamma linolenic acid, arachidonic acid etc) than do normal cells. One reason for this that has been suggested is that the activity of the 6-desaturase enzymes is lower or absent in malignant cells, than those found in non-malignant cells.77 Therefore, in vitro studies have examined whether it is possible to by-pass the 6-desaturase enzyme system by adding certain EFAs such as gammalinolenic acid (GLA) to malignant cells grown in vitro in culture. Initial studies had demonstrated convincingly that the addition of GLA did result in cancer cell death, whereas normal cells were unaffected.78-80 Subsequently, pilot studies in man have suggested that EFA supplementation might possibly have some anti-tumour activity81-83, but further studies have still to be carried out to determine if there is a role for EFAs as anti-tumour agents in clinical practice.

An alternative role of EFAs may be to potentiate the activity of chemotherapeutic agents against malignant cells. Experimental studies have shown that EFAs do increase the sensitivity of malignant cells to a variety of chemotherapeutic drugs.84,85 Furthermore, studies in animal tumour models have shown that it is possible to potentiate the effects of chemotherapy, in vivo, with dietary supplementation with EFAs.86 Although similar studies in man have not, as yet, been carried out, it has been shown that the content of the n-3 EFA, docosahexaenoic acid, in the tumour does correlate with the clinical response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer.87 The higher the docosahexaenoic acid content in the tumour, the better the clinical response to chemotherapy.87

Whilst there may be many reasons for this effect, it has
