Does store bought almond milk contain soy I heard soy is extremely bad for men because it contain estrogen or turns into estrogen?

most almond milk wouldn't contain soy... read the label..

that's why i make my own...

[Nicholas1]

I read your recipe for homemade almond milk it seems like a very long and hard process

lol

try making it, it's not that hard...really...

you don't even have to soak the almonds overnight..

it' really a 2 step process...

1. blend almonds and water together

2. pass through a strainer

....

How many almonds per cup of water?

[kronik420]

How many almonds per cup of water?

how ever many you want....

id go 1 cup of almonds to 1 litre of water

[kronik420]

thought you were going to bed lol...

[Nicholas1]

You are keeping me up lol thanks you have a lot of great info almonds boost natural test levels I believe anyways goodnight

[kronik420]

lol good night

[Granovich]

why did u even mention the word TRT. you are 18 years old... you shouldnt touch steroids for atleast 6 years man...

[boz]

TRT is what you will be on for the rest of your life, if you start using gear at 18, just to answer your question

Im glad someone cleared this up.

Your body has approximately a 1/4 billion skeletal muscle fibers, all of which can be categorized as one of two main types. Type 1 fibers, also called slow-twitch fibers, are used for endurance activities, or tasks that don't require maximum strength. Type 2, or fast-twitch fibers, come into play when a task utilizes more than 25% of your maximum strength.
There are two subcategories of fast-twitch fibers, IIa and IIx. IIx fibers are the biggest and strongest, but they're incapable of sustaining effort for more than a few seconds. IIa fibers not only are used for strength and power activities but also keep longer, for up to three minutes. (That being in the most highly trained athletes.)
It's easy to remember the types if you see them as part of a continuum. Type 1 are the smallest and most endurance-oriented, IIa are bigger and have limited endurance, and IIx are the biggest, with almost no endurance beyond what it takes to perform a single maximum effort. There are other subtypes of fibers, but its simplest to focus on the big Three.
Your muscles operate on two basic physiological principles, The all or nothing principle and the size principle. The all or nothing principle states that a muscle fiber either gets into the action or it doesn't. If it does it performs at an all out effort. The size principle states that in any task, the first muscle fibers pulled into action are the smallest ones. Since the smallest fibers on your body are most likely your slow-twitch fibers, they go in first. When your body realizes that the effort needed exceeds about 25% of your total strength, it activates your IIa fibers. And when it sees that the effort requires more than about 40% of your strength, it calls up the IIx fibers.
When you were a baby your body already had all the muscle fibers you're ever going to posses. Those fibers became bigger as you grow and they can become even bigger still of you give them sufficient exercise. Your percentages of fast-twitch and slow-twitch are predetermined. A fast-twitch fiber can't turn into a slow-twitch fiber and a slow-twitch fiber can't become a fast-twitch fiber. Because you're born with all the fibers you're ever going to have, you're also born with a predisposition toward either endurance- type activities or strength and power sports, depending on which type of fiber is predominant. Hope that helps you understand how you muscle fibers work.

BIGTIMEPUSH, your info is good other than the fact that muscle fibre type cannot change. Here is a link to a study that proves it can.

Yeah I have read a few that claim you can. While researchers generally agree that fibers can change within their own type—IIa can convert to IIx and vice versa, for example—they’re still squabbling about whether or not we can, through training, change between Type I and Type II muscle fibers. Case in point: When Outside contacted the Journal of Strength and Conditioning to get a copy of a recently published article discussing this very question, editors said sure, we could have it, as long as we “make sure the answer is right, and the answer is NO, one cannot change inherent fiber types I to II, only within the I or II subtypes.”

Not trying to argue, just going off of what i have been taught in the last year. But hey as scientist improve methods of counting fibers and procedures it might really be overturned. Mostly stated and reputable research states you can not.(as far as "now")

Hey man if i'm wrong, i'm wrong. Always want the latest and greatest info here.
