Where did I say eat like a pig? I only said inadequate protein.

I've been wondering about proper nutrition during SD too. Might there be any merit to actually eating poorly (specifically, low protein) during a deconditioning period? I know that sounds weird, but every time SD rolls around for me I wonder about this. I am relatively ignorant about...

Yeah, I think it's fine. And it makes chocolate proteins mixed with water (like Bryan's) much more palatable to me.

Hehe. Yeah, maybe in their circle that's true.

I just saw this story, thought I'd post it. Probably not a mind-blower, but for most of us it can provide some vindication for our high-protein diets. Note they mention leucine specifically. Want to Lose Weight? Beef Up By Jennifer Thomas HealthScoutNews Reporter WEDNESDAY, Feb. 12...

Thanks Navigator!

One interesting thing re Biotest and Mag-10. They claim there is no conversion to estrogen, which is true in a hyper-precise legalistic sense. "Covers all the anabolic bases, achieving optimal muscle-mass gains, without estrogen or DHT side effects." But Par on the Avant Labs board...

You failed to sound like an idiot, so now let me take a crack at it. ;) I don't think your estrogen levels will go up when you are using 1-AD. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. The estrogen-related danger is that when you are done with the 1-AD, depending on the duration and dosing...

That's a valid point. Maybe Daily One complemented with a straight magnesium product would be ideal.

I think 1AD just converts to 1T. 1T is not always delivered transdermally. I think there are a lot of oral products, too. Ergopharm was testing a cyclodextrin 1T (oral), but since the proposed prohormone ban I have no idea what the status of that product is now.

I've been taking ZMA with 200mg 5-HTP lately, and I've been sleeping pretty well. Unfortunately I don't know if it's the zinc, the magnesium, the 5-HTP, or some combination thereof.

You need to really shop to find a multivitamin/mineral with adequate magnesium. Most one-a-day type products, even from reputable companies, don't have a lot of magnesium in them. I use Twin Lab's Daily One Caps (w/o Iron), and they only have 7.2 mg of magnesium per cap (2% of RDA). So just...

Look at the FAQ.

Yeah, I agree with everyone... I think many people are zinc and/or magnesium deficient, therefore you do a study and give the treatment group ZMA and behold the effects. So, yeah, ZMA "works", mostly for people who are mineral deficient. I get ZMA from Beyond-A-Century, seems pretty...

Steve McDermott tried Yohimburn and a competing product, Lipoderm. Maybe he can comment on their relative efficacy. Here's a link to some related threads you might peruse... http://www.hypertrophy-specific.com/cgi-bin....ef9bb24

Of course, I know you can't generalize from a single case, and you are right about women and children and litigation and all that, it's just that I get exasperated when peoples' perceptions of what is really "risky" is so warped. I'd guess drinking green tea during pregnancy would...

I don't even understand the pregnant/lactating women part. Where is all the evidence creatine is dangerous? The evidence is instead mounting that it's not only a useful tool for building strength, but it may also improve mental function. People are crazy. I wouldn't worry if it weren't for...

I think you are joking, but if you are not, please don't take it. It's highly toxic. It's only medicinal purpose in humans is to kill parasitic worms.

At the risk of causing someone to kill themselves trying to replicate these researchers' results, I present the strangest PubMed abstract I've ever seen in my surfings. Seems appropriate here. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-p....=947210 I'll admit I did check to see if they continued their...

Tell that to Mrs. Jelq! ;)
