I dont think you could find a more blatant example of synthol use than Taylors triceps (apart from maybe Greg Valentino :) ), Take a look at these pics - his arms are bent yet his triceps still bulge like theyre flexed!

Take a look at Ernie Taylors triceps. Classic example. How the hell can you keep your tricep flexed when your elbow is bent at 90 degrees!?

Just as things start looking good, Lyle chips in with a healthy dose of reality! It appears the inhibition of the myostatin gene is only of use during the natural growth phase, ie birth to puberty. After this, myostatin appears to be pretty much down-regulated anyway. Back to the drawing board...

Can someone turn off my Myostatin gene please? Or at least turn it down a bit!

Might have been me? Ive posted about my 2on-2off cycles. Lance, I was impressed with the results/side effects ratio of two weekers. If I ever went to 3-4 weeks with AAS I got an outbreak of acne, which I wasnt prepared to put up with. I ran about 4 2on-2off cycles back to back and made steady...

Arnold also used to go down to the local beer hall after a workout in his younger days. Try that one for a bit and report back with your progress... With the combination of their genetics and drug regimes they could get away with that kind of thing.

Dieting is just a combination of training and a sensible calorie deficit. My training doesnt change whether Im dieting or not, just my nutrition and cardio. We already have a training forum and a nutrition forum. I dont know what exactly there would be to talk about to fill a new forum that...

You state yourself that the Repetiton method requires going to failure so how can you leave a few reps in the tank and go to failure at the same time? If you try and combine them in this way then you arent doing the repetition method anymore, thats why theyre mutually exclusive. Just accept...

Not trying to be a smart-arse, but its all down to calorie deficit. Cardio and diet are just two different ways of accomplishing this. Weight training, cardio (intensity and volume) and diet composition are ways of manipulating the weight loss in favour of fat rather than muscle.

Im just about 6' when I stop slouching! Ive put about 8-10lbs on since that photo. The joys of SD lol!

One more quick one - wish I could take one of my back - bit difficult on my own lol!

Just finished an 8 week cutter. Down to 179 fully depleted - just bounced back to 187 over the weekend. 3-point caliper coming in at 6.5%, but its a low reading. Probably more like 9% I reckon

At 35% bf losing muscle isnt really an issue. Some studies (cant find them now) had people with high bf on 800cals/day with no LBM losses. When the body is carrying that much fat it doesnt need to use muscle for enrgy. Id carry on with what youre doing for now. Maybe throw in a high carb day...

Or you could split your HST routine in half (2day split) and train 6 days a week. Hey presto, youre almost permanently within this 36hr post-workout window. The main reason I put up with the hassle of going to the gym and training 6 days a week is for the nutrient partitioning benefits (the...

Ratios just dont matter. Get enough protein (1g/lb if youre natural, 1.5g/lb if youre juicing) and fat and then adjust the carbs to meet your desired caloric intake. More for bulking, less for cutting. It really is that simple. The only complicated bit comes when you get down below 12% when...

You would be very very broke. The leptin dosages used in clinical trials were running at about $1000/day. Injecting sufficient leptin to 'normalise' your levels whilst dieting would help reduce most of the physiological effects of the diet (reduced thyroid output and metabolic rate, reduced...

There might not be much of a physiological difference how you get your deficit, but there are definite psychological issues. Appetite is the big one which ends up wrecking so many diets. Although not yet fully understood, from what is known there is clearly more than just leptin involved in...

Thought Id already posted in this thread, but obviously not!! I train at Total Fitness in Liverpool (UK). Its a massive fitness facility, but also has the largest free weights area in Liverpool. The hydro pool and the steam room are a godsend after a heavy night out! Total Fitness Liverpool

All of this is true. Its just that you wont lose any of this from a period of 9-12 days without training.

I do! Its the people I share an office with that have the problem!!
