I think that is still open to debate/clarification. Not sure at this point.

U.S. To Ban Ephedra WASHINGTON, Dec. 30, 2003 The General Accounting Office reported this summer that many of the complaints came from users under 30. Reported problems included heart attacks, strokes and seizures. Baltimore Orioles pitcher Steve Bechler, had taken a dietary supplement...

Looking good Lance! Oh, to be that lean... and 18 again... :confused: :D

I for one have done that; I have read of others here doing it as well. The main reason for me is cost-effectiveness. Primer & Driver cost around $22-28 for about 2 lbs ($11-14/lb), where the regular whey isolate I typically use as a supplement (daily, in fact) is around $46 for 10lb...

Good post, Dianabol. I am certainly not an expert on this subject, but.. one thing not mentioned here is resetting/increasing of leptin levels thru refeeding. Also, if one has been dieting (and low-carb) for several weeks, it has been advised that the person take a 1 week break & eat at...

To put it yet another way, keep training the same way, whether in a cutting or mass phase. Adjust your diet to your goal; a deficit for cutting, a surplus for gaining.

Are you located in MN (Twin Cities) by any chance?

In this case, and if I understood your statement, your total volume is decreasing as you go thru the 15s to 10s to 5s. 2 sets x 15 = 30 reps (each lift) 2 sets x 10 = 20 reps 2 sets x 5 = 10 reps If you see your growth slowing as your cycle progresses, this is probably why. As far as #...

I like & use Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey. You can get 10lb for $47 from bulknutrition.com. It's your basic whey, and I can manipulate it as I choose by combining w/ other foods. I have also used Primer & Driver and GNC. GNC does not agree w/ me (gives me gas), where the others do...

As for the 5% thing, it's 5% of your 5 rep max for a given lift.

Mine is a reflection of a hobby; I do a lot of soccer refereeing. Arbitro is Latin in orgin, meaning "arbiter" or "judge", or in this case, "referee." Being addressed as "arbitro" is common from Latin & Hispanic players -- among other terms if the game...

My 5s volume actually increases, as I do 4 sets + dropsets, totalling 30-35 reps in all.

bump. I understand the timing, what I'm trying to reconcile is whether such a spike is desired/good, or not, pre-workout.

My understanding of taking carbs pre-workout is to provide energy for the exercise, reduce muscle glycogen depletion and reduce cortisol release. My question, then, is that if assuming we do take pre-WO carbs, do we want to avoid an insulin spike releated to high-GI carbs such as dextrose...

If you have a home brewing supply store near you, they will have it. I believe it's cheaper there than PF or most other online sources, unless you buy a LOT.

Or you could just buy "E-form" from bulknutrition.com. ;)

You will typically apply it to areas with no (or very little) hair, so you get maximum absorption & nothing left on the hair. You most likely are using a systemic PH, so it's not applied directly to any specific muscle area. If you WERE using something like Sytenhance (a new local PH) it...

Is there something compelling you to eat cottage cheese, esp. if you don't like it? There are plenty of protein & fat sources you could use instead.... :D

Right. The "recommendation" is to use 5% of your 5RM weight as your increment for a given lift. Obviously, this would need to be rounded to the nearest weight plate available.

HST + prohormones = good gains for me, at age 41.
