    May be due to high blood pressure. How's your BP?

    BCAA

    10-20grams sounds about right from what I've read. Some people megqadose with 50+, don't know about their results though, if any.

    BCAA

    I have no idea about the mixing, don't see how it would hurt. I do know that everyone I know who uses them uses them post workout for the most part.

    BIOTEST

    No one I know has a good opinion of Biotest. That's not to say they may not comeout with something interesting, but it'd be hard to tell anything genuine from the usual pimping.

    BIOTEST

    Forskolin may show some promise for freeing fatty acids to be used as fuel. Most products I've seen come in well under the necessary dose of 50-60mg a day. As for it's anabolic properties, I've never seen anything to justify them. Mixed with low intensity cardio, around 60-65% of your max heart...

    Creatine . replacement suggestions .

    ON is the brand I've used for a while now for monohydrate. I would use Bryans, but it comes in such a small serving. I like bulk buying. Back to ON though, it's cheap and never had a single stomach issue while on it. Mind you, I drink super hot sauce from the bottle sometimes, so my stomach...

    Short Cluster Cycle

    I thought of that, but it didn't seemt he best answer to me. To a large degree the difference between the weight you use at the beginning and end of each HST cycle affects your gains. While I'd admit it's not necessary to start as low as you normally would for a shorter cycle, I wouldn't want to...

    Spike, ZMA, stuff from t-MAG

    Go to some sites that sell bulk powder and look up nootropics. You'll find tons of concentration enhancing substances. If you buy bulk powders, you'll do great on pricing. As for natural focus, Bryan's got an article on it somewhere on this site. You also might try what I do, basically just...

    Short Cluster Cycle

    The weight increase is definitely good, but the time of the whole cycle is what concerned me. I forget the study but there was one posted on the site somewhere showing gains tend to plateau at around 7 to eight weeks. You have two things here that I think are relevant: the weight increase and...

    Short Cluster Cycle

    I was thinking of going with a shorter cycle too this time around. Four to Six weeks. You get to use bigger increments which I guess would ensure a greater chance of using a minimally effective load each time, but you only go four weeks or so. Personally though, I wouldn't set the cycle up so...

    To the Cluster style HST'ers

    You do increase the sets, but only to a point. It's not just a matter of arbitrarily increasing sets. The goal is to keep total work, or volume, constant. So you set a total rep range for the whole cycle and do however many sets it takes to hit that. Say you pick 30 reps for the total, you'd do...

    To the Cluster style HST'ers

    I believe he's speaking of the style where work is kept constant and you do whatever rep/set combo you need to reach it.  So if you're working with your three rep max and you need to hit 20 reps, you'd do seven sets. Once I'm done SDing I'm going to do a cluster style HST cycle aiming for 20...

    Creatine . replacement suggestions .

    Optimum Nutrition sells a 2000 gram tub ofmonohydrate for around 35 bucks. I've used it, good stuff.

    Spike, ZMA, stuff from t-MAG

    T-Mag is one of the worst rags on the planet, and Biotest is one of the worst companies when it comes to hype and pimping useless products. Alpha Male is not a steroid, it's a standard tribulus/other compound test booster, which is to say it's useless. Biotest prices are ridiculous. Post what...

    HSN Energy Stack

    I get the sense that Bryan's line of stuff are only things that he sees as essential for hypertrophy. Scivation's stuff is pretty expensive. It's not too hard to buy most of the stuff they use in bulk andmake your own mixes, though it can take time. But you can buy the bulk powders and usually...

    4-androstene-3,6,17-trione

    It should also be added that blocking SHBG by itself isn't that great an idea. All the active testosterone you get will be aromatized too quickly to be of any real help. Any SHBG blocker would need to be partnered with an aromatse inhibitor to work effectively.

    Running = burning calories that I don't have!

    In addition, any cardo you do should only be around 60-65% of your max heart rate. Anything over that and your body will turn to anaerobic pathways for energy. That range is the most protein sparing type of cardio. Make sure you've got some carbs in your system before you do the cardio too.

    HOME MADE Bulk Powder Blend.

    Red Rice Yeast. Pretty good stuff. It needs to be cycled too though because it's a little hard on the liver. Nothing you need to worry about, but nothing you want to use continuously either. If this is to maintain muscle I'd say the BCAAs are a must, as that's what most people report is their...

    4-androstene-3,6,17-trione

    Mind and Muscle just had a brief article on Tribulus with some good citations, you should check that out. Tribulus is useless for raising testosterone in healthy men. If you've already got a testosterone defficiency it may help raise levels a bit. This is why a lot of people include in a AAS PCT...
