    The science behind HST

    There is an effective range of repetitions in mechanical load that elicit hypertrophy. That effective range is narrowed down to from about 20 reps to 120% of your 1RM (“negatives”). The 15-10-5 progression has you work within that range over the course of the given cycle. Reference...

    FDA moves on prohormones

    Just teasing you, Dan! I'm not, either!

    FDA moves on prohormones

    And whether steroids or prohormones or whatever actually do sneak back on topic at all is obviously a matter of choice also. So far they haven't made much of an appearance. But it has been an interesting, if discursive, thread… Punctuation check: Dan, did you mean <ul>the last Great...

    FDA moves on prohormones

    Wait, let me just post this first before we go back on topic, since I just drafted it. That's actually a very interesting position, xahrx, and actually argued in this article which says, &quot;Legally speaking, the couple should be married by the state, separate from whatever marriage ceremony...

    FDA moves on prohormones

    Well, I don't want to speak for Dan but, heck, why not? I'd suspect he had Liquid Latex in mind. He's pretty practical that way. (No need to thank me, Dan.) As to whether he was referring to <span style='color:EE0000'>regular</span> or <span style='color:FF0099'>fluorescent</span> colors, I'd...

    Took the words right out of my mouth, Dan! <span style='color:purple'>I agree</span>, Dan. I think people really need to be reminded of that more.

    Which is why, Dan (living in <span style='color:RED'>redder than red</span> Texas) and I (in the <span style='color:BLUE'>bluer than blue</span> San Francisco Bay Area), good pals as we are, never discuss politics. Heck, I don't even know if those geographic generalizations apply. (And we don't...

    FDA moves on prohormones

    <span style='color:008800'>Splendidly magnamous</span>, as always, Dan! As for the debate about debate, I get both what Dan and Adam are saying. You can learn a lot from discussion but it's all in the way it's done, I think. One has to remain pretty open for it to work and not get too wrapped...

    FDA moves on prohormones

    That's what I was wondering about. If &quot;anarchy&quot; is used in its technical sense of &quot;a society where individuals are free from coercion,&quot; (rather than the more colloquial meaning of &quot;a state of lawlessness or disorder&quot;), it seems to come close to what xahrx was...

    FDA moves on prohormones

    Agreed! Huh? Whatever. I still agree with whatever the forefathers, foremothers, fore-parental units, founders, framers, ancestors had in mind, though, maybe, they weren't so confident about what we'd think they had in mind: But back to the topic at hand… I'm wondering, Adam, as you started...

    FDA moves on prohormones

    Oh, I did say that, didn't I? I was referring to people who have some opinion or knowledge and stay away from the polls because they're &quot;too busy,&quot; their vote &quot;won't count&quot; or any of the usual excuses. I'll amend it in light of Bosox's comments, with which I agree. Ideally...

    FDA moves on prohormones

    Just as a pretense of staying on topic: As for adding these steroid precursors to the list Schedule III Controlled Substances, I think Calkid's wry comment about eliminating the only safe, legal alternative to black market steroids sums it up. Back to &quot;freedom, &quot;voting,&quot;&quot...

    FDA moves on prohormones

    I like your answer better than mine, Dan, as it is much more direct. But it's a really <span style='color:CC0000'>cool</span> question, Adam, because it's so distinctly &quot;non-American.&quot; (Hardly surprising, coming from someone who's Australian.) Few Americans, I think, wherever they...

    FDA moves on prohormones

    What a <span style='color:CC0000'>cool</span> question! Here's a quote from U.S. Department of State's Bureau of International Information Programs: &quot;…however defined, the rights of the people are at the core of what it means to be an American. In this way the United States is quite...

    Hammer Curls: Enough for biceps?

    Was it this thread? If it is, just thought I'd toss it in, in case someone wanted to take a look at it. Thanks for mentioning it, jdreich—it was &quot;before my time,&quot; so I wouldn't have known about it.
