Too many times, people who
are working hard in the gym focus
primarily on their challenges — and
not on their advantages. They obsess
about any weaknesses they may
have and make their journey toward
developing their physiques more
challenging than it has to be. Instead
of identifying what’s great about their
F
or many people a new
year commonly comes
with the resolution to get
in shape. Perhaps you’re new to
bodybuilding, or perhaps you’re
coming back after an extended
layoff. Either way, this article will
provide a rock-solid strategy so
you can proceed and succeed
during your first three months.
[Note: Before you start–or restart
— exercising, visit your doctor to get
his or her consent. Remember, weight
training can be an intense physical
activity.]
The Six-Point Plan
Here’s what you need for
bodybuilding success:
1) Great desire to improve your
physique and training. Establish
training consistency right from the
first week. Fix your workout days
and times, and then never skip a
workout unless you’re sick.
2) Appropriate training routines —
practical routines for busy people.
3) Correct exercise technique and
smooth, controlled rep speed.
4) Full satisfaction, every day, of the
components of recuperation from
training — nutrition, rest and
sleep — and the adoption of a
healthful lifestyle. It’s imperative
that you stay healthy. Without
your health you can’t train hard
and consistently.
5) Progressive poundages — increase
your exercise weights gradually.
6) Apply points two through five with
persistence and patience.

NUTRITION SCIENCE
PREWORKOUT Protein Primer

O
ne way that weight training
enhances muscle growth is by
stimulating the release of various
anabolic hormones, such as testosterone
and growth hormone. Along with another
potentially anabolic hormone, insulin, they
are profoundly affected by nutrition. For
example, low-protein diets adversely affect
the synthesis and release of insulinlike
growth factor 1 (IGF-1), the active anabolic
product of growth hormone. Without a
large supply of amino acids, insulin has
no anabolic activity at all. Conversely, the
combination of high blood amino acids and
insulin is quite anabolic.
The latter effect has led to the
development of postworkout recovery
drinks consisting of a fast-acting protein,
such as whey, and a rapidly absorbed
source of carbohydrate. That nutrient
combination provides the greatest
release of insulin following training and
promotes amino acid entry into muscle.
It also promotes the rate-limiting enzyme
required for glycogen, the main fuel in
muscle that powers anaerobic exercise
such as weight training. Glycogen itself is
produced from carbohydrates, which is
another reason to include simple carbs in
a postworkout drink. Glycogen can also
be synthesised from other sources, such
as lactate or even protein, but the process
isn’t nearly as efficient as it is with carbs.
While the notion of taking a
postworkout protein-and-carb drink
is widely accepted by scientists as an
efficient anabolic-response modifier in
muscle, studies show that a preworkout
protein-and-carb drink may work just
as well or even better because of the
increased blood flow into muscles that
results from exercise. On the other
hand, a pure protein drink may produce
hypoglycemia, or low blood glucose,
because of a heightened insulin release.
Taking in protein and carbs before
training may also increase cortisol levels.
Cortisol is a catabolic hormone released
from the adrenal glands that is most
often associated with muscle breakdown
(although higher postworkout cortisol
levels have a reverse effect in helping to
supply energy for muscle recovery).
The precise effects on anabolic
hormones of having a protein drink prior
to weight training remained speculative
until recently.1 Ten men, average age
23, all with at least five years of training
experience, who’d taken no drugs or any
supplements that would influence release
of any type of anabolic hormone during
exercise, participated in the study. Thirty
minutes before training, one group took a
protein drink containing 25 grams of whey
and casein, and the other got a placebo.
They all did sets of heavy one-rep squats,
sets of 10-rep squats and four sets of
10-rep leg presses. They rested between
sets two to three minutes.
Both groups had a protein-and-carb
recovery drink following the workout.
The workout began three hours after the
subjects ate a 500-calorie breakfast of
21 per cent protein, 66 per cent carb and
13 per cent fat. The postworkout drink
contained the same 25 grams of milkderived protein as the preworkout drink, but
it also included 50 grams of carbohydrate.
The protein group showed lower
levels of both GH and testosterone
www.sportzblitz.net
www.sportzblitz.net
muscles to the gastrointestinal tract,
masking or diminishing testosterone blood
levels. The preworkout protein drink, by
increasing insulin release, promotes the
activity of androgen muscle receptors.
Other effects of the preworkout protein
drink included a heightened postworkout
energy expenditure that’s likely related to
the higher energy requirements of muscle
protein synthesis after the workout
— which, by the way, is powered mainly
by fat. The increased metabolic effect is
also reflected in a higher resting energy
expenditure two hours after the workout
in the protein group. On the other
hand, the lack of GH, coupled with the
increased insulin release, also lowered
postworkout fat oxidation.
What it all points to is that a
preworkout protein drink increases insulin
levels during the workout, which in turn
results in less muscle breakdown, higher
amino acid entry into muscle and possibly
greater testosterone uptake into muscle
— in short, an anabolic environment
conducive to muscular growth.

Popping protein prior
to training can do good
things for hormones
than the placebo group. The protein
group, however, had higher blood insulin
levels, but only during the first half of the
workout, with a steady decline afterward
until the subjects got the postworkout
drink. The authors note that the elevated
insulin produced by the preworkout
protein drink likely led to decreased
muscle breakdown and increased amino
acid entry into muscle — in other words,
a potent anabolic effect. The protein drink
increased insulin to levels that would
produce a maximal protein synthesis rate
in muscle. The rapid release of amino
acids from whey probably enhanced
insulin’s anabolic activity.
The lack of growth hormone response
in the protein group isn’t surprising; past
studies show that you get the highest
release of GH during a preexercise
fasting state. Any nutrients in the blood
blunt the release of exercise-induced
growth hormone. Milk proteins are rich
in branched-chain amino acids and
glutamate, both of which have potent GHsuppressing effects during exercise.
The lower testosterone levels in the
protein group were also expected. A highprotein diet is linked to lower levels of both
total and free testosterone, as well as a
decreased test response during exercise.
That may result from a decreased
testosterone synthesis, lowered secretion
or increased clearance from the blood
through its increased breakdown in the
liver. On the other hand, since weight
training promotes postworkout muscle
protein synthesis, the lowered test level
may merely reflect increased uptake into
muscle, where the anabolic action is.
Research shows that weight training
enhances increased androgen cell
receptors in muscle, and testosterone
interacts with those receptors, explaining
the relative paucity of the hormone in
the blood after exercise. Postexercise
nutrients may also divert blood from the

The fitness scene
is blessed from
time after time
with exceptional
talent. And
this time round
Gabriella Cioban
emerges —
glissoning the
figure stage with
her aesthetic
beauty and
vibrant charisma
hile other 23 year olds are
out partying, natural figure
competitor Gabriella Cioban
is training. While other 23 year olds
are consuming copious amounts
of alcohol, Gabriella is tucking into
some wholesome chicken breast
and vegetables. While other 23 year
olds are lounging about watching the
cricket, Gabriella is practicing her
posing routine. And those students
who sleep in after a long night out
should spare a thought for the
industrious, young Gabriella Cioban
who is up early either hitting the books
or pounding the weights at the gym.
Unlike her father George, who
is an experienced bodybuilder,
Gabriella is relatively new to the figure
bodybuilding circuit. However, despite
her youth, she is definitely one of the
hottest figure competitors this country
has produced in recent times. She has
already accumulated six titles within
less than a 12-month period and if
you’ve seen her on stage, you won’t
deny that she’s something truly special.
Originally hailing from Cluj in
Romania, Gabriella and her family left
her native homeland when she was
seven. The Ciobans spent two years in
Austria, then more time in Canada, but
it was in this sun-burnt country that
Gabriella spent her formative years.
At high school, the quiet and reserved
Gabriella excelled in mathematics and
art. Outside of the academic arena,
Gabriella was a stand-out athlete
in track and field, especially in long
distance, running 13- and 15-hundred
metres. Seeing her keen sporting
abilities, her father George encouraged
his daughter to start lifting weights,
thus beginning her interest in weight
training. She recalls, “My dad was into
bodybuilding. Since I was young, we
started with push-ups, sit-ups and
squats and we used to do that since I
was about five. When I was 16, I joined
a gym and I just worked out and really
liked the weights. I really enjoyed it.”
That initial enjoyment with weight
training soon became an infatuation
and lifestyle choice for Gabriella and,
like her father, she began to take
the training aspect very seriously.
Bodybuilding and weight training
appeal to Gabriella’s spirited and highly
charged philosophy, but this is not a
blind competitive pursuit as Gabriella
adheres to a practical application of
bodybuilding principles. “I like the
challenge... of getting your body into
the best possible shape you can get
it into. When you see the results, the
muscles... getting lean and fit, that’s
what I like.”
Gabriella is blessed with fantastic
genetics, like her father George who
has been bodybuilding for many years
and both father and daughter are in
sensational shape! But it should be
stated that fantastic genetics are simply
not enough if an individual desires
to reach the epitome of physical
perfection. Gabriella’s fine physique
bears testimony to George’s training
methods and his serious, no nonsense
approach to bodybuilding. She says
“He [George] helped me achieve what

There are five goals that this
programme will achieve.
1. Get stronger. This is what it’s all about.
Progressive overload is about raising the
bar in strength and intensity. Once you
have some training experience under
your belt, there will be days where you
won’t be able to get a personal best.
That doesn’t mean you can’t have a
kick- ass workout. That’s where drop
sets, supersets, x-reps, negatives, etc.
can come into play. Sometimes you have
to trick the body to get stronger through
greater intensity. Still, nothing replaces the
experience of lifting a heavier weight than
you have ever before.
2. Increase your muscle mass. Follow
the first goal with a smart nutritional
plan and you will put on slabs of
muscle. Again, you must consistently
overload the body to do this. The only
way your muscles will continue to grow
is by consistently raising the demand
put on them. Ask the body to do the
same task over and over and guess
what? – a plateau will sneak up on you
before you know it.
3. Decrease body fat. The combination of
goals one and two will lead to obtaining
goal three. (If you haven’t read Damon
Hayhows Nlightenment column, read
it!) Increasing muscle mass will greatly
improve your ability to burn fat faster.
What burns off more fuel: your grandma’s
4-cylinder Barina or your uncle Tony’s
V-8 Monaro? Bigger muscles gobble fat
around the clock.
4. Increase your fitness and
conditioning. Yeah, I know that
you’re not interested in competing in a
marathon coming up. That doesn’t let
you off the hook. The fitter you are, the
better you will achieve the first three
goals. Not only that, you’ll live longer
with fewer ailments.
5. Improve your athleticism. This
is important because improved
athleticism results in better
performance in the weight room as
well as a better-looking body that will
scream of youth for years to come.
This can be achieved with the Power
Circuit. Another critical part of getting
the most out of your training is the
consumption factor. If you eat like
garbage, you will look like garbage.
You have heard it over and over again
in this magazine – eat several wellbalanced meals throughout the day.
Aim to eat in the realm of a cave man.
Your staples are lean cuts of beef,
fish, chicken, protein powder, etc.,
alongside dairy food, healthy grains
and fruits and vegetables. If you can’t
pronounce it, you probably shouldn’t
eat it. Two more food notes: eat healthy
fats and get some fibre in your diet!
Last note: There is no substitution
for good form. If you’re new to training
and even if you’re not, consider having
at least a few sessions with a good
personal trainer. If this isn’t a possibility,
try to find someone with plenty of
experience to show you the ropes.
Remember that you’ll go nowhere fast
when you’re injured.

NOTES ON THE Power Circuit
You’ll need to pace yourself the first few times you attempt this
circuit. Not only will your muscles feel heavy with lactic acid, but
your lunges will challenge you as well. If you go too fast too soon
you might be advised to have a bucket nearby. The beauty of the
Power Circuit is that all you need is minimal space, a few dumbbells
and a step. Remember to pick weights that challenge you while
maintaining good form. The fitter and stronger you become, the
sooner you can challenge yourself with the harder version of the
movement. Eg. Using jumping squats instead of regular dumbbell
squats. As with all training, perform a good stretch at the end.
Work this programme solidly for a month and you will see great gains.
In next month’s issue, I will introduce you to the next stage. Never
give up, never give in.

Q & A
Supplements &
The use of supplements is no doubt the best
way to maximise efforts in the gym. Why?
Q
I love the results I get from
creatine monohydrate but do
you think that creatine loading
is really necessary?
I think that for most people, a loading
phase is necessary to ensure they obtain
all the awesome benefits that creatine
monohydrate supplementation can
provide. However, I don’t believe this
loading phase needs to be as long as
some experts advocate.
MASS
The traditional way of taking creatine
involves a five-to-seven day loading
phase of 20-to-25 grams a day followed
by a daily maintenance dose of two-tofive grams per day. This is considered
the best way to supplement with
creatine, but only by default. Many
athletes and their coaches don’t realise
that this traditional creatine dosing
strategy is based on a very limited
amount of research. Quite simply, we’ve
7,000
Achieving and
maintaining a high
concentration of
creatine within

6,000
5,000
hardly examined the effects of other
dosing strategies.
Achieving and maintaining a high
concentration of creatine within muscles
is essential to experiencing the potent
effects from supplementation. You might
be interested to know that only four
studies have actually assessed muscle
creatine stores during intense resistance
training and supplementation. (Of these
four studies, I completed three of them).
I don’t think that the traditional loadingmaintenance phase is the most effective
way to use creatine over the long term.
All of the studies that have examined the
effects of creatine have lasted only six-to12 weeks; even before the end of these
short-term investigations, creatine stores
within muscle already showed tell-tale
signs of decline. And athletes in the realworld use creatine for a lot longer than
six-to-12 weeks.
Therefore, I have designed a dosing
strategy that I believe yields far better
results from creatine monohydrate. This
strategy involves intermittent, short-term
loading phases and from the feedback
I’ve been getting, it’s an approach that
provides awesome gains in strength and
lean muscle mass. I’ll detail this strategy
in the next issue of Australian Ironman.

Q
I know that IGF-1 is a big part
of muscle growth so I was
wondering if you have any
supplements that may help stimulate
a natural increase in IGF-1?
From the extensive literature on
myogenic differentiation, it’s clear that
growth factors play crucial roles in the
formation of muscle. One growth factor
in particular, insulin-like growth factor-1
(IGF-1), appears to be involved in the

1. 5,000 mg of added free form glutamine per serve.
Heavy training can lead to lowered glutamine concentration in muscles which
leads to fatigue, decreased immune function and decreased performance. The
glutamine in Mega Whey can assist post-exercise recovery and muscle
volumisation.
2. 3,000 mg of additional free form amino acids.
Leucine, isoleucine and valine have been added for the prevention of muscle
protein breakdown during exercise. Also important for growth as they can be
directly metabolised by muscle tissues.
