UFC 131 drug testing comes back clean; Carwin selected for screen but not tested

"Despite Mr. Carwin's willingness to complete the sample collection process, the VAC unilaterally exercised its discretion to rescind its selection of Mr. Carwin for anti-doping testing shortly following his bout at the event. In making such a determination, in its absolute discretion, the VAC seeks to balance the guiding values of 'fairness' and 'fighter safety.'" "Under the Commission's procedures, as implemented by the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport at the event, those athletes selected for anti-doping testing were tested only after their contest," Tweedale told MMAjunkie.com. "Shane Carwin, like most of the other fighters on the card, wasn't tested because of the discretionary call that the Commission made in the circumstances following his fight." That's exactly what I was thinking...and why even select him if he doesn't have to take it.  They are really making this drug test thing a lot more complicated than it has to be.  Just make the UFC pay for 2 drug test for every fighter sometime before every fight and then directly after it.  Hell their a multi-****load of money a year dollar company...lol  Make the penalties stricter and BAM! problem mostly solved.  And if you have a "low testosterone level" then you should either fight with it or choose another profession.  Get rid of the loopholes, stricter penalties, and mandatory drug test every time. Carwins one of my favorite fighters and I really don't think he's on anything but I thought it was kind of weird that him and Overeem, who usually cut down to 265, both weighed in at 256 in their last fights. Carwin seems like he got himself slimmed down to be in better shape though. Overeem I think it's more weird because it was his first fight back in the U.S. in a while and people have been asking him a lot about steroids and drug testing in the U.S.

5 Training Secrets to Gaining Muscle Mass Fast! | pmXfit

There’s a difference between wanting to simply build mass and wanting to build muscle. To many people, mass simply means to gain more weight, muscle weight or not. But when you want to build pure additional muscle, you have to go about it in a completely different way. We’ll focus here on how to gain muscle mass, which is indeed added weight, but not weight that also contains bulky gains of excess fat.

1. Consume More Protein

Protein, whether its animal based protein, such as lean white meat, fish, eggs, and low fat dairy, or whether its plant based protein, such as nuts, seeds, legumes and tofu, all contain the necessary building blocks of muscle fiber. These substances are known as amino acids. There are both essential and nonessential amino acids that the body needs to quickly bulk up with additional muscle.

You can obtain these protein sources either from food or from protein supplements that come in powders, such as whey protein, or in so called protein bars, which are usually loaded with cabs in the form of sugar. The average adult man require 50-60 grams of protein a day for normal growth and nutritional needs. To bulk up with muscle mass, a bodybuilder will have to consume much more than that daily.

2. Heavier Weights

Adding muscle mass faster can easily be accomplished by working out with the heaviest weights you can without straining yourself or getting injured. The heavier the resistance you lift, the faster your muscles grow. Using heavy weights, you’ll quickly begin to see much more bulging muscles.

3. Lift Your Own Body Exercises

This is similar to the lifting very heavy weight principle described above. To gain massive muscle mass rapidly, you need to perform many sets of low rep exercises such as leg squats, parallel bar dips, bench presses, and chin ups. Aim for six to eight reps in each set of eight to twelve sets per exercise and body region.

4. Extend Duration of Weight Workouts

When you follow the lifting of heavier weights concept, you can add even greater muscle mass and bulk by lengthening your workouts. Increase by ten percent in time during each subsequent week. This will force your muscles to have to grow even faster due due to substantially increased resistance that comes when more time is put into workout sessions.
