I've seen a lot of responses to individuals noting weight loss stalling after sustained deficit periods along the lines of 'you are just eating too much' and 'you just aren't on a deficit, eat less'.
Although this is absolutely true, don't underestimate the degree to which negative metabolic...
DNP & Thyroid Hormones
After posting up about DNP yesterday, a few guys asked about using t3 with it.
DNP is shown in rats to inhibit the deiodination of thyroxine. (http://www.eje-online.org/content/77/1/122.abstract).
Deiodinase is an enzyme that removes an iodine molecule from t4 to...
Little update.
Been ticking along and cruising for a while now holding 220-225lbs for the past 5 weeks or so.
Now that I've let things stabilise and given some time for the new muscle tissue to settle in, i'm beginning an aggressive mini-cut here to tighten up before growing again.
Will post...
Off-season posing practise for Jas at Emporium with the PCA crew today.
Check the lat and delt pop!
Jas has made some insane tissue gains this off-season, especially considering her training age (and of course, being a female). Excited to see a much improved package on the stage later this...
The lighting in my gym = perfect atmosphere, but awful for photos.
Anyway, feels amazing to start a new block of training after this deload. Everything is ready and firing on all cylinders, we are locked and loaded to really crank it over the next 4 weeks.

I recently ran through a nutritional consultation with a new client who was suffering some issues metabolising carbohydrates/poor glucose tolerance. She had switched to a traditional keto approach as she assumed it was an insulin resistance issue (as previous diet was very high...
I've posted quite a list of write-ups on vitamin d3's effect on overall health, but here's another good reason why you should be conscious of your d3 levels.
A relatively new systematic review looking into the effectiveness of combined resistance training and vitamin d3 supplementation in...
I'm doing something I haven't done in a long while this week and taking 4 full days off of training. I am truly overreached at this point, and am kicking myself for not being objective with my own biofeedback and quitting whilst I was ahead earlier. I think in future, I will either have to...
Brand new research shows that only 19% of men diagnosed with low testosterone received TRT.
Sadly, for those of you who follow this page and other TRT/PED related groups, this won't come of any surprise.
The scary thing is, this is only amongst the total of men who were actually screened for...
Reducing systemic inflammation/oxidative stress is absolutely important for all of us, from both a health and physique development point of view. Chronic oxidative stress plays a serious role in many age-related diseases, metabolic disorders etc. As a side note, for any anabolic steroid users...
This fairly new meta-analyses looked into the effect of various training volumes on total strength outcomes.
Although the high volume groups did show greater strength gains than lower volume groups, the benefits were relatively moderate when compared to outcomes of similar research on the...
11 weeks in, holding around 216lbs this week.
Weight dropped a bit this week and I tightened up, but then crept up to where it was last week but I am looking tighter.
No real weight gain this week and BG is holding real good (70-75mg fasted every morning).
Adding in 20g protein every day...
PROLACTIN & DECA
A very common theme you hear in bodybuilding circles is that you should always have ancillaries on hand when using nandrolone in case of prolactin issues.
This view isn't founded in any evidence, and anecdotally I have never seen prolactin increases in individuals using...
Loss of sexual function and a decrease in quality of life is a common anecdote in middle aged-older men that seems to frequently be overlooked as a psychological issue, when it very likely could be a physiological hormonal issue.
In this research, 750 multinational men with low testosterone...
Quick 7 week mini-cut for my client Yash to round off our first phase together.
Now that I have his condition, insulin sensitivity and health markers where I want them, we can work on adding some quality tissue!
