What gauge did you use? I've been pinning my quads exclusively for the past few weeks under the theory that I have a ton of muscle and very little fat in that part of my body, and so I expect that will minimize the gyno from test getting into the fat cells (maybe this is BS bro science, plz...

So close to your spine, I wouldn't fuck around with that.

It's threads like this that make me wonder how some people even manage to turn on a computer. But just so I'm not completely trolling, personally I wouldn't overthink your ab workout -- unless you're in the 8-10% bf range they're not going to show. And it sounds like your training routine...

What are your thoughts on doing the heavy workout backwards? Say, start at near where you top out on 5RM when you haven't yet exhausted those muscle groups, and then incrementally drop weight in the successive sets to allow you to get through 5 reps? Is that worse than working up? I guess I...

It's important to note that because a double-blind study could not be ethically conducted (because it would mean not treating the breast cancer in the placebo group), there's no way to know what the true side effect rates are. I have some experience with statistical studies in pharma clinical...

When bulking, I will treat myself to a full Taco Bell grande combo (though I don't eat it all at once), although I only do this rarely and if I really don't have time to make a proper set of meals.

I'm not an expert on the matter, but you don't count the carbs from fiber. Additionally, those veggies all have very low GI (glycemic index) ratings, which means that the glucose is absorbed into the blood very slowly.

I hope no one minds me cutting into the thread, but I'm also looking to do my first cycle ever and need similar advice. I'm 26 years old, 190 lbs, and 13-15% BF (haven't done a precise measurement recently). I had been working out only sporadically during the summer because of work stress and...

I didn't see the point either, but I've doing a good deal of research into the anabolic diet and it seems to be getting some great results as far as efficient cutting without lean body mass loss is concerned. I'd like to get through my cut as fast (and safely) as possible so that I can do a...

Are there any good meal replacement supplements that have little or no carbs and a high amount of fat (and protein)?? I'm starting the anabolic diet and so I'm going to be getting around 60% of my macros from fat. I sometimes have to work long 10 hours shifts where I'll only get one meal break...

Yeah, this is really a horrible idea. If you were doing it for a date on Saturday night or something, don't bother. It won't make enough of a difference to be worthwhile -- just be cocky and funny.

Does cooking meat with a Foreman grill take out the nutrients (since many juices end up flowing out the meat altogether)? And short of grilling, what's the best way to cook chicken, lean beef, and fish? I've recently started steaming just about all of my fish and vegetables because I was...

Wouldn't that insulin response from the sugar in milk actually be somewhat helpful strictly in PWO shakes then? I can't imagine you'd be killing yourself (inducing type II diabetes) if you were consuming a max of 20g of high-GI carbs daily, right??

Drano? Sweet, I already have some of that. How many cals in a cup?

Can anyone comment on how healthy this stuff is? I like having skim milk for my PWO shakes, but 12g of sugar per serving is too much. Anything wrong with Calorie Countdown? Yeah, I know I could just mix the Whey with water, but I just can't stand the taste -- guess I'm a big baby.
