    Creatine

    You can get away with 5g for 5 days a week or load for 3 days a week, off for 4 in most cases (weight dependent). Creatine stores are lost at about 3g/day (+/-) weight.

    is an alcohol calorie the same as others?

    I am pulling this out of left field but I believe the numbers of drinks that showed a SD in T levels was 5 drinks at a sitting. T levels were supressed to some extent for 72 hours.

    BCAA supplements

    What kind of logic is this? So whoever applied this is stating that CHO mediated insulin is different than BCAA (protein) mediated insulin. That is priceless.

    Can fish oil be taken all at once or should it be

    7--> If you are going keto it will make no difference when you are taking fish oils. Dianabol, what is your rationale for taking fish oils in one concentrated dose? Doages as low as 1g/day have shown positive CVD benefits. 6g for partitioning effects. Also any supp with an oil blend is...

    John Berardi

    Berardi's food combos are based on GI/Insulin responses to foods. As Ol' John usually does he has SUPPORT data for his theories but no support his theories make a SD. One of his cronies sent me a study once with high GI CHO sources with = calories and macros versus one with low GI, = calories...

    Creatine during SD?

    Muscle creatine stores are either full or not. Reuptake does improve with exercise. Don't worry about playing around with dosages. If your SD is 9-14 days then just take 5g every other day and don't worry about it. The net loss of creatine from muscle stores is around 3g for the average...

    Energy drinks

    I have found tyrosine to be useful with a modest dose of caffeine.

    banana with whey post workout?

    You certainly changed your mind rather quickly for being so pro hi-GI post WO yesterday. The chances for CHO spillage post-WO are very slim if any and in fact CHO (unless taken in huge dosages and under certain conditions) will not be stored as fat. So it is a "Tortoise and Hare&quot...

    banana with whey post workout?

    Correlating the use of insulin in itself in the rise in mass and weight among AAS BB's is very flawed and to think the increase in Insulin in high GI CHO can correlate to the suprahuman dosages BB's take is very poor logic. :confused: :confused: :confused: Tipton himself has said it would take...

    Side effects of anti-inflammatories?

    Hmm. This is the only work I have really ever seen. Without reading the study the abstract reads like they gave full OTC dosages post-training. Effect of ibuprofen and acetaminophen on postexercise muscle protein synthesis. Trappe TA, White F, Lambert CP, Cesar D, Hellerstein M, Evans WJ...

    Side effects of anti-inflammatories?

    I believe a good chunk of this work was with very large dosages taken right after training.

    flax

    1. Why stop the cod liver oil? 20g a day is definitely on the too high side in most circumstances. 2. The conversion rate is terrible. I think studies have shown anywhere in the 7-20x range in the ALA-DHA conversion rate and this is still debatable. Theoretically that is a lot of flax so then...

    Recommending a multi?

    More is coming out in regards to Iron and NO in relation to CVD. Very compelling stuff. :)

    The Flu shot.

    The flu shot will cause some mild flu-like symptoms (aches, fatigue, etc.) These should quickly alleviate, it is just your immune system working. BTW, the flu looks to be bad this year in the States.
