After I switched tomore muscle-intensive movements, my gains in leg size were astounding"

Dorian Yates, Athlete
"I also think you have less separation if you are fuller. If you go to the gym and pump your arms up, they are bigger because of the blood volume, the fullness. But the separation is not so defined"
Dorian Yates, Athlete
"Complex carbohydrates are always best, except, again, after a workout where you could take simple (sugar) carbohydrates to get an insulin spike. But at other times doing this is not very beneficial because insulin is a storage hormone and it's going to shunt everything into the muscle"
