Based on the exerpt from your book, you seem to be saying fibers are activated in different areas of the muscle during a peak stretch, when as far as I know fewer MUs are activated during such a stretch, but recruitment patterns stay the same overall. Don't really know where you're going with...

Early events in stretch-induced muscle damage Don't know if you guys have seen this one, but I know Sub and few others are discussing the way their muscles fail after ACIT training. Thought this might interest them, though I didn't get to read much more than the abstract.

So physical and metabolic stress causing wider but not longer muscle cells through increased protein synthesis, correct?

Just want to clarify. I think someone mentioned remodeling earlier. To my understanding remodeling of muscle is different than the type of action that's occurring when the muscle is damaged. Remodeling, as I understand it, is a change in myosin types in muscle fibers, essentially a change in...

I remembered you had mentioned this before. On my last workout, other than messing up my left trap which will likely keep me from working out for a week or so, I put my mind to this calf problem. Since you said they're growing anyway it might not be necessary, but I found if you put the pivot...

That was an awesome read, thanks. Now I have a much better idea of where you and Sub7 are coming from on this.

This is the best thread in a long, long time.     Here's a question though: Would the occlusion method of ACIT confer any advantage over techniques already used for metabolic work? For example, during the 10s and fives of an HST cycle, instead of doing high rep work after work sets would ACIT...

They're right, those are 21s, or at least two thirds of 21s in the example given. I tried an HST routine once made up totally of 21s. Lasted about a week before I was ready to shoot myself.

Phenylalanine L, theanine and tyrosine are all substances that are supposed to have an effect on dopamine levels. Look for nootropics on several sites, you'll find a lot of info there on things you may be looking for.

Aren't cyclical ketogenic diets more suited for people who are already fairly lean? I don't remember fear posting his actual bf%, but I think he'd go better with a straight ketogenic diet right now if he's got a higher bf%. Low carb intake pre and post workout would be a decent approach.

I'm aware of some people who claim success using blood type diets, but like was said there's no studies to back it up at all. Likely they had the same success anyone would have moving from a bad diet to a relatively decent one.

Which is exactly what I said in my first post. I said he MAY have to lower the load. Reading comprehension classes perhaps? Already explained. No specific poundages have been mentioned so I don't know what you're referring to when you ask "That's too large?" Experience. From seeing...

Because during PCT your body's ability to recover from that application of tension is diminished. It takes less to maintain muscle than it does to build it, and for most people during PCT after a long cycle their body is not in any state to make gains. Maintaining is the best most people can...

I'd agree with increasing the weights after a short oral cycle.  Test E for weeks though is bound to lead to serious supression of natural T levels.  During PCT after a long injectable cycle even with lowering the volume, trying to up the weights isn't always the best idea.  I know a lot of...

I wouldn't drop frequency, drop volume during PCT. Frequency is much better to keep than volume in my opinion. You may need to drop the weight a little too. You're not necessarily going to be able to push as much up as you did while on cycle. We're not talking a major drop, 90% of your max per...

6--> I'm not much for organic food.  But since there has yet to be more than a few deaths even possibly linked to steroids as a direct cause, and considering the numbers of people who die every year from no exercise and a steady diet of McDonalds and deep fried everything, I'd say it's a safe...

Don't know the studies, never read them. I do know Glucophase, a DS product that contains K-R-ALA and a few other ingredients, made me go hypoglycemic when I took too many of them.

Now that is something good to come out of this at least. Thank god wrestling isn't seen int he same light as baseball or football. Then we would have needed an act of congress for something like this.

No offense, but if you can find some evidence of this please show it. Even the government's own websites, when you actually look through them, say incidents of life threatening health problems from steroid use are very, very rare. And, quite frankly, I'm sick of hearing people repeat...
