Let's slow down guys. Let's look at what has changed: She's a couple years older. She's on the pill. What was she taking when she was at the leaner 120lb body weight? When were you using clen (when she was leaner)?... Sounds to me like you started her off losing weight most recently with...

It WILL get you into ketosis more quickly, as you have seen Titan. Ketosis is a matter of hormones affecting the liver's production of ketone bodies. However, Duchaine overemphasizes the role of ketosis in fat loss. It is not a magical state of super-accelerated fat loss, although is is...

Thanks, DC Thanks for the compliment, DC. That means quite a bit. (Also, I'm glad to see that that there are a few more out there who read some of the stuff I blabber about. LOL). I have been hearing for a several years now that pro's and nat. level guys have been doing carb-ups with junk...

You will have to accomplish much more monumental feats that that to be the idiot of the month around here. LOL. At least you didn't try to reinstall your system software b/c you didn't notice the the keyboard wasn't plugged in! Glad to see ya, Biggun. -Randy

Glad to see you here, Lou!!! -Randy

SS, Ingwall used fetal mouse cardiac cells as well as developing skeletal muscle cells. It was all done in a culture dish. As far as the hype - I think EAS contributed to a lot of it early on. When you've got millions of guys trying to put on weight (gymrats to college level football...

Creatine monohydrate powder is absorbed nearly 100% in the gut. (e.g., see Vandenberghe et al. 1997). After a period of loading, a 5 gram dose is almost entirely recoverable in the urine, minus normal 24hr degradation (a non-enzmatic process in humans - see Walker's classic review for this)...

They don't call me "Poster Boy" over there for nothin!!! -R

I can't really say i know enough about either to give much input. Why not just keep test levels up using test?... -Randy

That is a component of the extracellular matrix of connective tissues like cartilage. It contains glucosamine. Don't know how cost effective it is vs. glucosamine - as hyaluronic acid (or its sodium salt), it will likely end up as glucosamine and glucoronic acid (oxidized glucose). -Randy...

DOH!

You can't see my favorite "body part" in my pic, at least not on this website. ;^) -R

SS, I have read that as well, but haven't seen it referenced. Creatine biosynthesis is essentially regulated by the rate controlling enzyme for its synthesis (an arginine:glycine amidinotransferase, I think). It is controlled by thyroid hormone, growth hormone, cortisol and the sex...

SS, You've been paying attention!!! Yes, I've spent a lot of time looking into creatine. The studies are very mixed concerning its effects on human performance. Even the exercise "protocol" that creatine seems to be the most beneficial for (repeated bouts of maximal idokinetic (180?/s)...

Welcome to MC! -Randy

Maybe I'm one of these guys... I drink a weight gainer shake with 1700 - 2000 kcal (2000 is my record) DURING my workout - legs or not. Take 1 ABB XXL drink (1100 kcal, 50 g protein) 2 MRP's - 600 kcal, about 90 g protein A little fiber, maybe some glutamine for kicks and some creatine (using...

So let me see... Some I can think of: There's a retired physician who trains at my gym. He's about 150lb, abouut 6'2". He routinely bench presses 225lb with a 2 inch (at MOST) range of motion - sets of 2 to 3. Essentially no arm movement - BARELY bending the elbows. At the bottom of the...

Sweat, that is a story for the ages, my friend!!! (Naturally, you will be deadlifting 900lb in several years as it is told again and again.) -Randy

LMAO!!! -R

SS - Good question! First BB'er to use a carb up?... I've heard / read the old school guys would start eating pasta etc., but the carb-up was pretty "crude." Funny how things come full circle. -Randy
