Thanks edziu, Aaron, this has been an interesting discussion. Reluctantly, I think I'll be buying a multivitamin for the first time in a couple of years. Although I consider myself as eating a very healthy diet, I don't believe I get as much variety as I should. Scott, good point. I plan to...

Just to add a note about the exercise scheme for each; In the first study; "Six healthy young men performed 12 sets of 6- to 12-RM elbow flexion exercises with one arm while the opposite arm served as a control." While in the second; "Exercise was eight sets of eight concentric...

We've been told that protein synthesis is elevated for up to 36-48 hours post workout. We've also been told that there is a postworkout 'window of opportunity' where much of what we eat is going towards muscle growth. My question is, are we confusing the high glycogen restoration rates...

That was a good post, edziu, it answered a whole bunch of questions I was thinking of asking. However, just a few more; How are the absorbability of multi-vitamins, I've heard stories about how they either don't get broken down, or if they do, that they only contribute to making 'expensive...

How important is the whole multivitamin thing anyways? I'll admit it's always been something I've neglected looking into to any extent. Is it a 'just in case' supplement, or is there concrete (not just theoretical) evidence to take a daily multi? I'm also a bit weary of supplementing with the...

From the FAQ; "Try to get 2-6 grams per day of EPA+DHA." "It's going to take about 6-10 grams per day of CLA to notice any effect." Check out the Supplements thread in the FAQ for all the info about why these dosages are suggested, and at what times to take these...

Weight loss is simply a function of burning more calories than you consume. You could get cut on jelly donuts if you wanted. If you aren't counting calories I would strongly suggest you do so. Reasons to not include sugar in your diet would be because sugar does not satisfy appetite very well...

Choice 2, in my opinion, because how can you realistically tell when you've stopped losing weight? If you're shooting for moderate 1.5lb/loss per week, water fluctuations will make the scale too unreliable in the short term. By the time you've noticed that the scale hadn't budged in a while...

A log over at Avant would be great, but if it's gonna be a lot of trouble don't worry about it. I was mainly interested in how exactly you've managed to structure prohormone/steroid cycles into the HST framework, and how that worked out for you in terms of results. I'm playing around with a few...

Restless, I've been following your progress for awhile now and it is of particular interest to me since I, too, plan to do a transdermal prohormone cycle of 1-test and 4-ad (or possibly subbing methyl 1 test for 1-test). Will you be tracking your progress on another forum?

I don't see a problem with this, there are certainly worse things to eat. I'd suggest more variety for your own personal sanity. Make sure you use a wheat bread with a high fiber count at the least. A lot of companies simply dye their standard white bread into a brown color and call it wheat...

I gotta agree with mr_kyle here. I know it's easier said than done though, as you're fighting leptin and when lean your body basically thinks you're liable to starve to death at any moment. Very few people have the favorable genetics to be able to be eternally lean and let themselves go in terms...

Are there any specific benefits to taking Flaxseed Oil if you're already getting plenty of DHA+EPA through fish oil?

I've heard that formestane is slightly suppressive and should only be used 'on' cycle to combat estrogen, does anyone know if there is any truth to this?

I'm sorry, I misinterpreted the question as meaning a switch from steroid using back to natural training (long term). The reasons for muscle loss in the short term after an AAS cycle are exactly as restless has stated. (Just to avoid any confusion).

For those who have taken AAS to bring their muscle mass beyond their genetic limits, often they find that their bodys own natural testosterone level is not high enough to support such a large volume of muscle. Those discontinuing AAS but below their genetic limit should be able to continue to...

Are you guys trying to eat cottage cheese all by itself? I sure hope not. Mixing cottage cheese with other foods is completely different than it is plain, as it becomes mainly a texture rather than a taste.

Prohormones should not be illegal. Steroids should not be illegal. Let us for once take responsibility for what we put in our bodies. If we want to be ignorant, let us suffer the consequences. All you gotta do is read the warning label to understand that there are potential consequences, is that...

Studies have shown pre-workout nutrition to more greatly affect protein synthesis than post-workout. Use primer and if you can't get driver, eat some hi GI carbs and quick protein after your workout.

I'd suggest staying with shorter cycles. I once did a 4 week cycle with 1-AD and 4-AD and experienced a fair amount of suppression, enough to make me decide that it wasn't worth it. I think natural testosterone rebounds a lot quicker after 2 weeks. I'd either do a long 8-12 week cycle and...
