You haven't seen assisted lifters bench more than two plates a side? Seriously?

The ECA will induce insulin resistance, which is great while cutting, but lousy on a bulk. Short answer - it won't burn off the fat, and it may make you partition a little worse than you would have. (I'll add that I still take a couple of ephedrine tabs and a caffeine preworkout, for the...

Hey there - good to see the young ones tearing it up. Two things: 1. FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal - kindly drop in there, start a free account, enter your food and report back with the grams protein, carb, fat, and total calories (ignore percentages, just give me grams and...

Well that sucks. That's what happens when you try to help someone do something he has no intention of doing, though.

So you'll be using it while hypocaloric dieting, is this correct?

There is a paucity of documented evidence to support a risk, although the mechanism certainly exists in theory. It is one of many things to consider when making the decision to use - or not.

GH use is a well-established risk factor for the development of prostate cancer? I know cancers proliferate with GH, but develop? As of last spring, this had not been established [Doping and urologic tumors]. [Urologia. 2010 Apr-May] - PubMed - NCBI Do you have something more recent showing...

No irony there - it's pretty much the norm. I have yet to meet a medical doctor (at least, in real life) whom I would ask ANYTHING about not only steroids, but even thyroid replacement. On the black market it can be quite inexpensive; regardless, bodybuilders do not run GH by itself. It is...

Excuse me. It can give you SOME lean mass increase. Some. Not tremendous. Sorry. Which experts? D'uh! GH also induces insulin resistance, which is one of the reasons why it works so well for fat loss during a cut. By sparing glucose for the brain, retinas, and red blood cells - tissues which...

I'm sorry, but your guy friend was a fool to start on GH at 25. GH doesn't make you big; for the most part, it's a cutting drug. It helps you drop fat and it does great things for connective tissues and skin, but nobody gets huge off GH. At 25, unless he was cutting hard, GH would have been an...

I know, and I agree - you need a pool of aminos around. Thing is, you'll get this in time unless you're in a deeply fasted state, and even then there are compensatory mechanisms which alternatively stimulate and halt protein synthesis. No matter which way you slice it, if you're operating at an...

Try either an injection or a transdermal - I'd bypass the digestive tract entirely.

lisarox, what are you looking to get out of your cycle? PS: indeed - welcome!

Completely. You may be interested to know that over 99% of heroin addicts drank milk as children. I hope and pray you had the good sense to keep your child from drinking milk when he was little - I would hate to see him become a heroin addict. On a more serious note, I'm a supermoderator on...

bjg, I don't blame you for not wanting your son to take prohormones. Protein powder, however, isn't a supplement. It's just food, and not all of us use it with muscle-gain in mind. I for one use a premeal whey shake because it helps me feel full longer - and hence keep my food intake under...

jimm, see this little button at the bottom right of each post? This is the "multiquote" feature. When you click it, it changes colour: Just click multiquote for whichever posts you wish to include in your respond, then hit the button to begin your post. /threadjack

You didn't say that. You said nothing about excess consumption. You said protein must be taken in small amounts at a time, and that if you ate it all at once, it would tend to make you gain fat: Humour me. Kindly post recent, peer-reviewed research - or at the very least, describe the pathways...

After cardio your glycogen stores are a bit depleted. Whey stimulates an insulin response. Normally, hepatic glucose will rise to protect against hypoglycemia but post workout this may not easily be the case. Your blood sugar drops from the insulin released following consumption of the whey, and...

Your bench pressing is sick - SICK I tell you!!! <jealous>

Leptin falls during energy restriction. It won't need to be bumped up during a bulk - besides, low leptin stimulates hunger.
