Nutrition, to my way of thinking, is a very methodical process. My approach is to find out how an individual responds to different stimuli and zero in on what works while discarding the ineffective; keeping in mind that everyone is different. Anytime someone preaches, teaches and practices a “one size fits all” bodybuilding philosophy, I quickly check my wallet and go in the other direction.
Three types of exercise-related muscular pain can afflict bodybuilders, exercisers, and athletes: (1) pain while exercising; (2) delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and (3) muscular cramps. (1) Each of the three has a different root cause (and different symptoms) yet debilitating effects can be minimized using certain nutritional and training strategies. By minimizing muscle pain you can continue to work out longer, with greater intensity, and without fear of interruptions in your training schedule.
