What does "muscle-sparing" mean? It's neither linked or explained in the text.
Carbohydrates and muscle mass
Exercise uses up a muscle cell's glycogen reserves. Carbohydrates allow muscle cells to refuel. Without enough carbohydrates in your diet, you will lose muscle mass from exercising. According to this essay (http://www.brianmac.demon.co.uk/articles/scni18a3.htm), it is ideal to exercise 1.5 to 2 hours after a meal, and to have a meal sometime after exercise to refuel your muscle cells.

No Pain, No Gain?
is this part really necessary? i know when i train it hurts, i know it doesnt hurt as in injury - but its pain nevertheless, i personally think the statement is too subjective and doesnt fit within the article.
- I agree, lactic acid creates a "burning" effect and just lifting a heavy weight creates a feeling that could be described as pain. "No pain, no gain" could also be thought of just referring to the exhaustion that one feels after exercise. --Slux 16:58, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- I removed that section, i moved the part about DOMS to the intro section. feel free to voice opinions. --weightshead
