JMHO…take it for what it’s worth! Your excess fat gains are a sign that you’re taking in more calories than you need to be. It also looks to me like you increased your calories too quickly after your cutting diet. Your body had adapted to 2000 cals/day, and in 4 weeks you've almost doubled...

Fruit won't give you the insulin spike that you need post-workout. There are much better choices than fruit during this time. I also want to add that up until about 10 days ago I had been eating things like Rice Chex cereal or white bread with honey to give me some high GI carbs post...

The whole diet/nutrition aspect of bodybuilding has been by far the most frustrating and difficult piece of the puzzle for me! Everywhere you turn you get one contradictory opinion after another. No matter where you stand on macronutrients ratios and the timing of their consumption, you’re...

Hi Iron Freak! I don’t claim to be the diet pro around here, but I’ve been involved in the weight-training/diet game for many years now. There is so much conflicting diet information out there, and I believe that makes it the hardest aspect of training to pin down. I’ve tried about every diet...

Restless, that really sucks man! I don't doubt that it could be the result of the ephedra! I feel like total crap when I take it, and I know that anything that makes me feel that poorly can’t be healthy. I hope you can recover from these health problems! I've come to the point where my...

First off I agree with you about ephedra...taking the stuff makes me quick tempered and depressed...not to mention the effect is has on my sleep. I don't tolerate it well, I guess. I was shut down hard on a Test/EQ cycle. My cycle was 6 weeks of 500mg/test & 400mg/EQ. Before that cycle I...

If you want to use steroids, that’s your choice—I don’t dispute that, nor am I saying that you’re wrong if you make the choice to use! My point is that too many people in the bodybuilding community try to portray steroids as being safe “if you know what you’re doing”. The fact is that there...

Yeah, you're very funny…give yourself a pat on the back. Look, if you want to take on the risks of using steroids, that's completely up to you. But don't run around saying that there aren't risks if you know what you are doing! That's FALSE! I studied steroids and how to use them for a...

I keep reading that steroids are safe if used properly. That’s not totally true! Sure you can control things like gyno, acne and for the most part even hair loss. But ALL steroids will shut down your natural production of testosterone. There is absolutely no way to stop that from happening...

Restless brings up a good point. I read a study not long ago that showed saturated fat has a much greater (positive) impact on testosterone levels than unsaturated fats. Maybe try replacing some of the fish and chicken with some good old fashion red meat. Unless you have a serious cholesterol...

I'd like to hear some knowledgeable input on this one too! I'm just starting a 12-day SD, and I'd like to hit the cardio hard (running & biking). I don’t want to sacrifice deconditioning my legs if those activities are potentially detrimental to future gains.
