The onus isn't on us to argue for the legality of anything. It's the burden of those who would prohibit something (PHs in this case) to demonstrate what net good would come about through prohibition. The ledger is stacked pretty squarely against prohibition in my opinion. Benefits: - Reduced...

Maybe we should propose a PH tax? The perpetuation of cigarette smoking has been assured by the fact that government now has a large stake in the tobacco industry.

I'm weaning myself off of ephedrine... it's toast. Good think alcohol is still legal, so I can drown my sorrow over nanny-state idiocy.

Yeah, good point. But whatever macronutrients those missing 15% represent, it's still interesting.

This is pretty interesting... http://news.yahoo.com/news?tm....inter=1 It sounds like a pretty well-designed experiment, too. All the food was prepared by the same restaurant. Definitely a study worth noting. The calorie-is-a-calorie notion seems to be gaining ground again lately, but this...

Well what I keep thinking is it's not the whole story... like they make a note of this enlargement effect in the abstract, but you have to read the article to learn that they died within minutes of taking the extract.

Be cautious... I experienced a nice "afterglow" after my 4 week cycle which led me to declare premature victory over test suppression. The nadir didn't really come for me on my first day off-cycle. In fact, I think I might have even hit some personal best lifts on my first day off.

Comedically speaking, this thread is gold. PS to Jake: I don't think they were trying to achieve this effect in the rats... from the title and abstract it sounds like an unexpected result.

I really don't think it will make any difference. The biggest significant difference with straight creatine is the addition of glycocamine, a "creatine precursor". I'd be curious to hear Bryan's opinion on this, if he hasn't commented on it already. V-12 also (allegedly) operates as...

I did 4 weeks 1-test/4-AD, which produced great results but also a precipitous decline post-cycle. I seem to have established a new "sticking point" or equilibrium, up from 235 to 240, and I think somewhat leaner than I was at 235. But I'd been up 18 lbs at one point during the...

Restless (and Arbitro): Pay close attention post-cycle to nutrition. While you are on you can eat sloppy (and if you're like me, you can get complacent). I packed on a lot of good weight on a 4 week 1-T/4-AD cycle, and then watched much of it evaporate afterward. (I still think I achieved...

Yeah... I agree estrogen isn't necessarily categorically "bad". My problem is that it's just sort of sketchy... meager results, scant evidence, inconsistent product quality. And as I've said before, if you've decided tribulus is OK to take (according to whatever code of conduct you...

No, it's not intended to be a replacement. Like Steve said, different products. FL7 delivers 7-keto DHEA into the bloodstream, while Ab-Solved delivers 7-keto DHEA into whatever tissues you apply it to (usually the midsection) while minimizing systemic absorbtion. (If you poke around PubMed...

Yeah, I have my doubts. I had the same experience with Tribex. This might be interesting to you, if you haven't seen it. http://www.thinkmuscle.com/articles/haycock/tribulus-terrestris.htm

This blurb you quoted is obviously marketing text, but still, the short answer is yes, 1-AD is a good product.

I've been doing 2g ALCAR plus 200mg R-ALA a day for the last month or so. It's certainly not magic, but I do seem to feel a little more upbeat and energetic. I consider this supplement to be more in the realm of mood than bodybuilding -- I can't see any noticeable benefit in that regard...

I poked around that site... what the heck is in it? I'd stay away. I specifically looked at "What's in CortiSlim", and they just list some BS. There are products work the same way "CortiSlim" is supposed to work. Usually they contain 7-keto DHEA as the active ingredient...

I pretty much agree on all counts. Re vanadium, Bryan has an article you might want to check out. http://musclemonthly.com/article....ork.htm Carnitine... maybe good for muscle soreness, most interesting research seems to show acetyl-l-carnitine is good for energy and longevity when combined...

I've never noticed this, nor has anyone ever complained to me about smelling "garlicky". I thought that was odd too.

Yeah, this concept has been discussed before and the consensus was that it is viable and compatible with HST principles. I haven't really tried it myself yet. You'd have to do it on the level of muscle "workgroups", not individual exercises like deadlifts. So you might run...
