Anyway, now that the biopsies are done, I get a free 5-days-per-week gym membership and personal trainer, from Tuesday next week, every weekday for 12 weeks. It'll be mon/tue/thu/fri mainly cardio, with wed being weight training. Because it's a clinical study they do lots of measurable exercises, such as exhaustion runs and 1RM/10RM - so far my best on the leg press is 7@310kg - I'm under the impression this is quite decent for someone that's not done any weight training any time recently.

Also as an added bonus they're MAYBE going to extend the exercise portion by another 4 weeks, apparently 12 weeks doesn't really allow enough time for the proteins they're testing to exhibit full effect.

Oh yeah, what the study is actually testing: the impact of two different proteins (keratin based and whey based) and placebo, on muscular glucose uptake and insulin efficiency, when combined with exercise, on people with non-Insulin dependent Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
