100 lbs? Typo at best, or they included the weight of the suit. If he lost 63 lbs, got down to 130 or so as someone stated, and gained back 100...hmmmm, that puts him at 230 lbs at 6'2". He doesn't look 230 at all, but hey, who cares, he makes more money than me.

Distended belly in bodybuilders and powerlifters alike = lots of food, a little GH, and even the AAS have been thought to cause a bit of pooching, but not sure on that one... Oh yes, and the beer...even bodybuilders drink beer.

I use Muckletuck products everyday for the last 5 years.. Sale-tuck make me soooo big. Don't forget anabolic protein, nutra-tuck. Hmmm, good. I hate their adds, but hey, they must pay good because they keep getting the pros to sell out.

Likely it was the temporary increase in overload on the muscle. I used to do Yate's Heavy Duty System (a hybrid of HIT) and for the first few months I would feel strong, gain a few pounds, and then my nervous system eventually burnt out and my joints ached like a SOB.

No. Lemon juice has citric acid, which has similar effects on glycogen replenishment. It is common to mix vinegar and lemon juice together in hopes that they will compliment one another.

Water intake is a tricky variable isn't it? It can and does vary from individual to individual, but one common rule applies. If you drink enough fluid to keep urine fairly clear and odorless, you are getting enough water. If your urine is yellow or darker and has a fairly strong odor, then it is...

Hmmm...well, consider these things and see if it fits. Caffeine = diuretic alcohol = diuretic exercise = perspiration hot sun = perspiration creatine = increased need for H2O All these factors will no doubt add up and amplify each other, leading to severe dehydration, which could explain some of...

When I am able to do them, I do 2-3 sets at most. I try to lower the weight for close to 10 seconds, which is very taxing, so about 2-3 sets is all I can muster.

I get mine here dextrose

With negs, I have done as much as 100 lbs. more than I can do for 5's. If it's your first time using them, then start with a weight about equal to your 1RM, then add about 10 lbs each workout. Being you are doing negs for one week, this should be fine. Remember, being there is no transfer in...

WOW!! That was funny!! Glad you are okay. I am surprised you didn't get the squirts.

For drops, you can do the basic KISS method and just drop the weight by 5-10 lbs. depending on the exercise and do about 5 reps and either stop the set or do one more drop set in the same manner.  You can also do them by figuring up percentages of the weight you are using, i.e. drop weight by...

Hi Bob. Supinated is the traditional grip with palms away from body. Puts a lot of strain on the biceps, but at heavy weights makes me nervous that I may pop a tendon if you know what I mean. I can usually go up another 10-15 lbs. after I switch to hammer grip. As for the pics, our digital...

You will probably get this reply from several HST'ers: Do a compound movement such as barbell curls with free weight or cable. When you get to your last week of 10's, you can switch to doing incline curls and drop the barbell curls. Up to you. One thing that has helped bump up my weight when...

The acetic acid in vinegar has been found to increase calcium absorption in the gut in previous studies, but the more recent studies (rat models of course) show that acetic acid helps in replenishing glycogen stores in the liver via gluconeogenesis and glycolysis inhibition. In the muscle, it...

I do not cycle when I am using ephedrine (it has been banned by my bb'ing organization, so I am attempting to refrain from using it, although I miss it). It does not act on receptors, so it cannot downregulate them, so really no need to cycle it unless you miss the jacked feeling you get for the...

100mg is the RECOMMENDED maximum safe dose.  I personally never used more than that.  I also split my dosages up a bit more than most people.  I took my ephedrine and caffeine four times a day in smaller doses, i.e. 25E/200C every 3 hours from waking.  

Would be ideal for bulking to help with damage control...

Just an update to this thread. I saw that I posted in it a long time ago and have since changed my position on creatine ingestion. I take it before training and that's it. Research has pointed to that being the best time to take it, as well as protein. And because bryan says so... ;)

Unfortunately, none of them turned out and I didn't bother with the professional photographer they had there. We were not allowed to use flash photography, so my wife's digital camera did not work too good. I will try to get a recent pic posted of what I look like now, albeit without the tan and...
