Creation of the super-athlete : an introduction

Understanding the way human body performs under physical stress is of great interest to me. Actually its my obsession and I have realized over a long time that this is one of the most interesting subjects under scientific investigation by leading sports scientists all over the world (that is the case because lot of money is also involved...more on that later). Science has been able to just scratch the tip of this giant iceberg owing to recent advancements in MRI studies and other techniques. Prior to that (that is many centuries ago...), understanding human sports performance was mostly a matter of trial and error. My main interest is towards weight training and nutrition. I believe there is lot of misinformation floating around in these areas and I hope to set things right by taking hints from the recent advances in understanding human response to different protocols of weight training and nutrition. I will discuss topics like :
1) Bulking up (this is the term used for gaining muscle mass while minimizing fat gains)
2) Cutting down (this is the term used for losing fat mass while preserving as much muscle you have)
3) Beefing up the body composition
4) Increasing strength (not necessarily size)
5 Increasing size (not necessarily strength....trust me...this has happened with me and it sucks..but anyways)
6) How to do both 4) and 5) at the same time
7) Different training protocols and their effects on human performance in different sports (sports I am aware of..)
8) Nutrition strategies to maximise performance
9) Supplement reviews
10) Much more cool stuff.......

And ladies, don't worry. The posts will be designed to cater to your needs too (btw...I am not a proponent of size zero figure and all that shit...) and also don't want girls to bulk up like a hulk (again...that wont happen with you gals because you don't have the necessary hormones to elicit a lot of muscle mass production) . So just chill and enjoy the ride ;) .

My next post will be on the understanding of STRENGTH and SIZE. Now you might feel they are one and the same thing i.e a guy who is more massive will be more stronger blah blah blah. Yes, that is true...but only at the surface level. Honestly speaking, STRENGTH is a completely different breed of animal altogether and my next post will shock you as I shall delve into the topic of  how ( and how much !! ) STRENGTH can be produced by the human body.
If you still thinking I am bullshitting you, how about these incidents:
1) an old grandmother once lifted a car in order to save her grandchild...obviously she didn't have muscles like Arnold.
2) The ancient strongman named Milo who used to carry a bull on his shoulders and walk around.

3) Mr.Olympia Franco Colombu (height 5'4 and under 200 pounds) able to dead lifting a whopping 800 pounds. (Arnold who was like 250+ pounds  and Franco's contemporary could never attempt it).

4) Last but not the least, I bench press a lot more weight than many bigger guys do in the gym ;) .

Were the above people (except me) superhuman ?? ..or were they para-normally gifted ?? ...Stay tuned for my next post as I shall reveal the dark secrets of these impressive specimens ;)
