I'm pretty sure you can only find it in capsule form but I could be wrong!

From what I understand they recommended you don't take it any longer than 4 weeks but I'm sure there are people who have done it longer. But an update on my buddies: They're about 2 weeks in. I only work out with one of them so I can only tell you what I've observed and he's told me. He's had...

dang it if I only read that sooner I would have thrown that in my shoulders today! Haha oh well there's always next time.

the lower back pain is just from weakness. I experienced the same pains when I started getting into squats and deadlifts and they lasted awhile and suck haha! But after awhile it'll build up strength and the only time you'll ever experience it is if you lift with bad form. But 6 instead of 4...

I have a couple buddies who took it upon themselves go try 4 weeks with 40 mg. They said they take the first dose with their first meal and then their second in their preworkout meal. They're only a couple days in so if I see any noticeable gains with them I'll let you know haha

First problem, no deadlifts. Super important compound movement. Pretty much a need. Your leg day has all the right exercises but you need to rearrange the order. Squats, leg press, lunges, leg ext, leg curl, and then calve raises would work best. Honestly that's always been my leg routine and I...

Excellent points! Not saying I haven't gained mass from 5x5 but I always found that it helped me better with strength opposed to mass. But it's also going to come down to genetics. Some people may react well to lower reps while others react better to higher reps. Personally I prefer higher reps...

But as far as routines go, I usually lift 5 days a week. Fridays and Sundays being rest days. In the order of: Chest (heavy), back/bi's, shoulders, chest ("light")/tri's, rest, deads/legs, rest I focus every workout around a powerlift. Then work into more isolated movements. What's the point of...

5x5 are usually only done for power lifts. For those who want to get to that extra weight. For example, stuck and can't bench that shiny 3 plates? Try to work up to 5x5 with 275 (with proper warm-up). Doing either 5x5 or 5/3/1 are both excellent for that. They're not set ranges for mass, but for...

Yeah that's basically all I've been doing since I started training around 2 years ago. Since then I've gone up 60 pounds with only raising my body fat around 2%. So I'm just going to keep going and see what happens. And I say two years because for like the first 3 or 4 months I was that guy...

Yeah I figure it's better to learn everything beforehand. I've been reading a lot, but like you guys said, I definitely could learn more.

Thank you for the input! Yeah actually after thinking about it I figure I'm going to give it a couple more years to see what I can do!

Thanks everyone!

That's what I've noticed cruising around the forum! Glad to be a part of it!

Hey everyone! As you can see I'm a new member here but I have some questions regarding a cycle I was considering running. But first, my stats are as follows: 21 years old About 2 and a half years experience lifting 5'11" 225 @ ~16% body fat I train 5 days a week with Friday's and Sunday's being...
