Purpose
Unconscious nerve impulses maintain the muscles in a partially contracted state. If a sudden pull or stretch occurs, the body responds by automatically increasing the muscle's tension, a reflex which helps guard against danger as well as helping to maintain balance.

Adjust your nutrition by doing the following: Eat 6 small but balanced meals per day. Your carbs should be high in fiber and your proteins should be lean. Fats should be sparing but concentrated in the omega 3's and omega 6's. This will provide a slow but constant stream of vital nutrients. Avoid greasy foods, alcohol, and candy. Here is a healthy foods list and a sample meal plan: http://www.spartafit.com/nutri tion/preferred%20foods.php http://www.spartafit.com/nutri tion/sample%20meal%20plans.php |

How to maintain muscle tone Hi there, I'm a young male and
have been doing resistance
training for a few years.
However, I'm reading that
weight training can increase
testosterone (and maybe DHT)
production in the body, which
is a good thing for the
bodybuilder since it reduces
bodyfat and helps build
muscle, but is a bad thing for
those concerned with
cholestrol levels, cancer,
and/or hair loss.
My question is, are there
resistance training methods
(ie: low intensity, high-rep
workouts, adding cardio to
your workouts, etc) that would
not stimulate the production
of testosterone? Is it true
that cardio helps lower
testosterone levels?
Basically, I want to maintain
my muscle tone but keep those
testosterone levels low. Is
that possible?
Thank you very much, all
suggestions are appreciated

the source of your information is highly inaccurate. test and dht are both neccessary for the human body to function properly. how these hormones may cause certain illnesses, etc. has nothing to do with the levels of them. it has to do with how "your" body reacts to them and that is based on your genetics. take dht for example. it does cause hair loss but the level of dht is irrelevant. a person can have low dht levels and great hair loss, another can have very high levels of dht and no hair loss. it is how the androgenic receptor on the hair follicle reacts to dht and that is based purely on genetics. |

How long does it take for one When a person is anorexic s/he
may develop loose elastic skin
and/or loose muscle bulk and
tone, right? If one exercises
moderately during recovery
wouldn't muscle tone and bulk
come back? Would it take
longer than three months?
Such people should be
interested in restoring
muscles. Why would they choose
not to?

It takes about 2 years to build a body and only a few months to destroy it. Give it time and the body will come. |
