This article will examine facts relating to whey protein as a supplement and help you decide whether you need to follow this particular strategy.Whey protein is produced during process that sees milk turned into cheese.

There is much more to simple rep than meets eye.The first thing to note is that a repetition consists of three elements - namely lower, pause and lift. The speed at which this is achieved depends on desired outcome, but to maximize muscle growth a slow, controlled tempo is required. The process should never be rushed, jerky or bouncy but instead should be controlled and smooth.
