Bodybuilding

 

Bodybuilding Bodybuilding hat sich in den letzten Jahren sehr gewandelt. Leider nicht unbedingt zum positiven. Durch die Gier des Publikums nach immer mehr Muskelmasse war der Einzug von immer stärkerem Doping auch auf der Amateurebene nicht mehr aufzuhalten. Was dazu führte das auch im Profi Bodybuilding mit immer höheren Dosierungen und immer neuen Mitteln gearbeitet wurde. Die massive Nutzung von Wachstumshormonen hat sein übriges getan. Während Arnold Schwarzenegger bei 1,86m Körpergröße noch ca. 105kg bei seinen Mr. Olympia Siegen wog brachten Athleten der neuen Generation bis zu 130kg bei gleicher Größe auf die Waage. Die Diskrepanz zwischen nichtgedopten und gedopten Athleten wurde im Bodybuilding immer größer. Durch den immer stärkeren Einsatz der gesamten Palette an Dopingmitteln entwickelte sich die Trainingswissenschaft nicht weiter. Nur wer keine Angst davor hatte seinen Körper durch Megadosierungen zu vergiften konnte es zu etwas bringen. Der Dopingtod mancher Athleten wie Andreas Münzer oder Mohammed Benazzia wurden als "Unglücksfall" abgetan. Ernsthafte Kontrolle wurde niemals durchgeführt, weil sie den Tod des Wettkampfbodybuilding bedeutet hätten. Natürlich werden Kontrollen durchgeführt, jedoch nur während der Meisterschaften und nicht stichprobenartig außerhalb der Wettkämpfe. Wer sich erwischen lässt hat einfach nur zu spät abgesetzt. In Wahrheit können keine ernsthaften Dopingkontrollen durchgeführt werden, weil sich niemand Profi Bodybuilder, mit maximal 110kg je nach Körpergröße in Wettkampfform anschauen würde. Bodybuildingprofis geben 5.000 Euro oder mehr pro Monat für Doping aus. Die meisten Freizeitbodybuilder wollen nicht wirklich solch einen riesigen Körper aufbauen. Doch durch die mangelnden Erfolge bei ihrem "normalen" Training wurden auch immer mehr "normale" Sportler die sich einfach nur "einen guten Body" aufbauen wollten mit Dopingmitteln konfrontiert. Aber dieses wäre häufig nicht notwendig. Es lässt sich mit intelligentem Training innerhalb eines Jahres erheblich Muskelmasse aufbauen. Richtiges Training, ist mit oder ohne Doping der Schlüssel zum Erfolg.

SEARED WILD SALMONSERVINGS: 4

YOU'LL NEED 

For the Black Rice: 

1 cup black rice 

1 tsp grape-seed oil 

1 tsp chopped fresh thyme 

1 bay leaf 

3 cups chicken stock 

For the Green Curry Sauce: 

1 tbsp grape-seed oil 

1/4 cup chopped onion 

1 garlic clove, minced 

1/2 cup mirin wine 

6 oz coconut milk 

3 tbsp rice wine vinegar 

3 tbsp green curry paste 

1/4 bunch cilantro sprigs 

salt and pepper, to taste 

For the Main Dish: 

6 tbsp grape-seed oil 

4 wild salmon fillets (7 oz each) 

20 petite clams 

1 tsp minced ginger 

1 tsp minced garlic 

1 tsp minced scallion 

1/4 cup mirin wine 

Juice of 1 lime 

1 tbsp butter 

1/4 cup chicken stock 

Fresh cilantro, for garnish 

Did you know?—It’s OK to go with frozen fish versus fresh. Flash-freezing fish—as well as fruits and vegetables—locks in nutrients and flavor. Outlets like Omaha Steaks will deliver.

DIRECTIONS 

1. For the Black Rice: Heat a wide, shallow pot over high heat. Add rice, oil, thyme, and bay leaf and toast for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add chicken stock and cook for 20 to 30 minutes on medium-low heat until done. Turn off the heat and let rice rest for 10 minutes before removing from pot.

2. For the Green Curry Sauce: Heat oil in a medium sauce-pot over high heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add mirin wine, coconut milk, rice wine vinegar, and green curry paste. Whisk ingredients together and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add cilantro. Let mixture cool slightly. Pour mixture into a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

3. For the Main Dish: Heat 4 tbsp oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add salmon and sear skin-side down for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn salmon over (when it’s ready to be turned, it won’t stick to the pan) and continue to cook for 3 to 4 minutes until done. In a separate sauté pan, heat remaining 2 tbsp oil over medium heat. Add clams, ginger, garlic, and scallion. Gradually pour in mirin wine, stirring frequently to mix well. Add green curry sauce to clams and cover the pan for about 10 minutes, or until clams steam open. Once clams are open (discard any that do not open), add lime juice and butter. Continue to cook until butter has melted. Reheat black rice with a small amount of chicken stock to allow it to become hot and moist. Plate the dish by adding a mound of black rice in the center of a large plate or shallow entrée bowl. Spoon some green curry sauce on rice. Arrange clams on rice and place salmon on top of rice. Garnish with cilantro.

Garcinia Cambogia, Does HCA Inhibit the Production of Fat?

Garcinia Cambogia, Does HCA Inhibit the Production of Fat?

The first interesting fact that I discovered was that Tamarind and Garcinia are not the same fruit. The tamarind actually grows in a brown pod and the inside texture of the pod is gummy much like the inside of a prune. The taste has been described as sweet and tangy. The garcinia fruit looks like a small green pumpkin on the outside and much like a grapefruit on the inside and has a sour taste to it.

HCA (Hydroxycitric Acid) found in the rind of the Garcinia fruit is said to be the fat binding agent that everyone is so eager to get their hands on. This is due to the reported success results it has had in so many case studies. HCA has had a lot of conflicting results due mostly to inadequate dose levels in the supplements. Science is still trying to find the dose of HCA that delivers the highest results while still being safe for human consumption. The most safe and effective dosage they've concluded to date is 1600mg per day. While Garcinia Cambogia has had no reported side effects in healthy subjects, an article published on wellness.com recommends against its use by diabetics. This is simply because it has been known to lower blood sugar levels. It is also recommended to avoid taking Garcinia if you take medication for regulating cholesterol (lipator etc) or antidepressants because Garcinia also affects serotonin levels thus potentially interfering with the effectiveness of your antidepressant meds. Studies have noted that calcium can disrupt the absorption of the carbohydrates by the HCA, how ever naturally occurring potassium will encourage this function.

A 2006 study, split into two groups conducted on 135 over weight, but otherwise healthy individuals showing group #1 receiving the Garcinia and group #2 receiving a placebo. The study showed that both groups did lose weight, but group #1 lost about 1-2 lbs more on average and showed drops in their cholesterol levels as well.

An evidence based review by Authority Nutrition stated, that in a study conducted on rats the HCA inhibited a fat enzyme called "citrate lyase" thus stopping the body from making fat out of carbohydrates. This has also been a fact shown in human case studies as well, but at somewhat of a less consistent level. This is most likely due to the inadequate dosing as stated above, but one may also conclude that diet and level of activity would also play rolls in this effect as well.

Studies have reported that effective supplements should contain a minimum of 60% HCA or higher in order to achieve successful results. It is also recommended to avoid products that contain fillers and binders. Fillers and binders would be anything on the label that is not the plant and the capsule.

For all practical purposes however we know that everyone is going to have varying results because, everyone is different. My conclusion without a doubt is that every bit of information I uncovered did show that subjects lost weight period. With that being said I just want to encourage all readers to talk to a doctor, dietitian or a nutritionist if you have any questions.
