The trend within the past couple years has gone to less and less diuretic use and it hasn't seemed to affect conditioning much, if at all. I recommend aldactone for most but even then, I have dropped back on dosages to only 1/2 of what I recommended 2 years ago with the same, if not better...

You will need to contact Lab Corp directly to get the answer to that question. I do know that they were using a saline base, briefly, as it was supposed to work much better. They then switched back after receiving some questionable data on it's effectiveness, I believe. Skip

Dosage is condition dependent, bro. It just depends on how tight you are or are not. Skip

Well, HOLY SHIT FIRE!! I was fucking wrong. I suppose I learned something today. I knew I was in trouble when Randy countered. *wince* :) Skip

It wasn't anger, really, just disappointment. I have made the necessary changes and especially on presentation/color, etc.. I have the "dial" down. It is the small things that I left out. I do get your point, though, and I am extremely focussed for this year. I start my prep tomorrow and am...

I don't know - this last year it was ME who was saying congratulations. LOL Skip

Sometimes I just sit here staring at the screen for waaaay too long. lol Skip

I would go with heat to be sure but I will certainly look into what you are stating, Randy. I have never known the filter to remove bateria but, hey, I was wrong once in 94 so I am surely due. ;) Skip

Saturn, I am with you, bro. I prefer to not just pop them in my mouth but to lick them first. They taste kind of salty but it tastes good at the same time. Sometimes, just for fun, I will put TWO in my mouth at one time! Skip ADD: Sometimes, I should just know not to go that far. *shrug*

Maybe I read the post wrong as I didn't think he was talking about standing and pressing. If so, I think standing while pressing is putting your back in a very vulnerable position. I would definately do them seated. I am confused. hehe Skip

I have known this for a few days but didn't want to be the one to put it up because of where I got the info. I was unaware that it is now in a musclerag so everyone knows. I really like the guy's physique. Too bad that he fell into the same shit that almost all of the pros fall into and is...

I have only done deads about 12-15 times in my 20 years of training. So, I would probably not go with those, personally. Skip

Hold on, bro. Filtering it won't make it sterile. Don't think that because the filter is called a "sterile filter" that it makes the compound that you are filtering, sterile. It does not. It is called a sterile filter because the filter itself is sterile. The filter is only there for...

I have had the usual: can't go down stairs, sit on the shitter, etc.. However, the worst is when you walk more with your hips instead of bending your knees but every now and then you will get a slight bend to the knee without meaning to and you go STRAIGHT to the floor. My wife thought it was...

First, you are a very large 20 year old if those stats are accurate. I would question the 13% bodyfat level only because I haven't seen many 20 year olds with those stats. If they are accurate, I am very impressed, bro. That being said, I don't know what your history of gear use is but that...

That is exactly how I feel. I SAY that I couldn't care less about the weights as it is more important how you look BUT I do get discouraged sometimes when I see something like a 225 lb lying tricep extension or a 185 lb curl. Hell, I haven't curled over 60 dumbells in YEARS and probably only...

Not at all. If there were anything else to say, I would say it. lol Skip

Dont' be. I would probably be jealous of your poundages. ;) Skip

He placed 3rd at the Jr. USAs. Does that count? Woo Hoo!! I might be wrong!!! I have never in my life wanted to be soooo wrong. Skip

I don't know how to take you, exactly, but it sounds like you think I am bragging. If that is the case, I assure you that my numbers are not at all impressive. So, just for reference, here you go: Never squatted over 405 and only hit 405 for a couple sets and that was on a smith machine...
