bump, Jon -- any news on pyruvate experiment?

Blade Perhaps I did not get this right, but what I remember is that bromo does not directly increase leptin, but it makes your brain _think_ that your leptin level is fine, because dopamine receptors see more dopamine (either due to increased dopmine level of due to increased sensitivity at...

I have had chance to read more about it, and the drug basically fools your body into being "happy" about its current state, via "helping" dopamine receptors.     We know that food intake is modulated by dopamine.  So, the idea here is to increase the dopamine activation at...

Actually, what is more interesting seems to be acetyl l-carnitine, which Coyote mentioned (ALCAR). It is expensive, unforunately.     Acetyle L-carnitine seems to be somehow affecting nervous system, similar to r-ala ... Of course, the combination (acetyle l-carnitine and r-ala) has been shown...

Its probably too early to tell, but still a bit curious. Is pyruvate helping?

Jon, I have been taking around 4-6 g / day. I have been stuck at about 188-192 lb for about a month, and suddenly I was able to gain strength and still lose weight ... I went down to about 184 lb (before regaining, lol)... I have been taking the following supps (1) protein (2) efa...

Blood&Iron     The difficulty here is that because leptin level is not easily measurable (at least for ordinary bb'ers), I have no way of knowing if glucosamine is helping ... (It most likely is not working).     In any case, you seemed to have been at bf range where glucosamine's effect...

I had read your earlier reply. I posted here again on the same topic, not because I don't believe you, but because I did not understand in what context you used glucosamine. Glucosamine is taken to help you during a cutting cycle, when you are trying to push that bf% down 2 more points. If...

I been takin glucosamine for about 2 months ... I think it is helping me get cut.  Is anyone trying it for the same purpose?  Anyone? stats: Went down from 206 lb (at 16% bf) to 184.  Lost some LBM. I don't know what my bf is exactly, but it is probably below 10%. I still cannot see the lowest...

I think creatine helps in almost all cases ... I have not used creatine, but will add to my stack starting this weekend. I am cutting, so I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks Biz, I was just toying with the idea of trying Pat's new product 6-OXO (for cutting and obtaining that "dense" look) or liquidex ... I also have fatty deposits that seem to be estrogen related. I have been trying yohimbine hcl and lipoderm-y, but the results have not been...

Guys,     My questions are:     (1) if you take aromatase inhibitor (without having taken any steroid or prohormone compound), your body, in its attempt to convert more testerone into decreased estrogen, will increase test production, right?     (2) If you do end up with increased test...

Hey, who cares how it tastes, we are he-men, the fittest, the meanest, and the most motivated and health oriented freakoids, the ones with great bod's that women lust after, ones who are so into low bf that we'd go on the harshest diet that mere mortals would just cry thinking about ...  We ARE...

That is interesting. I wonder if there is competing chemical pathway against lipolysis when you burn glucose rather than pyruvic acid ... I was hoping on r-ala to do what you described ... perhaps I should be looking at pyruvic acid.

> fine guys, i'll take the plunge myself. ordered a kilo of > calcium pyruvate. let you know how it goes. Jon, I didn't know you were thinking about actually trying that stuff ... Because pyruvate is intermediate product during glycolysis (which is one of the most prevalent chemical...

I have read the following at elitefitness.com ... does anyone know if there is some truth to this? Of course, the following is in reference to racemic ALA, not r-ALA. ======================================== (posted by FONZ at elitefitness.com, March 7, 2002) </span><table border="0"...

If you decide to sell a variation of 1-test, I hope you make it for oral administration. It is much more convenient than topical ones. I also hope that you make something with a long half-life Something like ethergel. For instance, the half life of 1-AD is short, which means one has to take...

Here is something I copied and pasted from another post (the post obviously ripped the article off from somewhere, but because I don't know where the original article came from, I could not properly insert the original url). This post should not be a copyright violation, under &quot;fair...

Guys, I started taking r-ALA, my stength seems to be increasing _even though_ I am still cutting. I don't know if it is in my head or this stuff is just incredible or what ... Did anyone try this stuff? Looking forward to hearing some feedback ...
