    TRT Advice Needed

    I've been on Nebido (UK version) for 5 years. 1g into the glute every 10-11 weeks keeps me in the 900-500ng/dl range. I know it's easy to look at the injection schedule on paper and question it, but based on experience - it's about right. Unless you're looking for stable levels, in which case...

    More Girls Here....

    I tried to create a thriving female community on 2 different boards. Failed miserably both times because this thing of ours is, and always will be, a high T environment. Takes a special kind of woman to tolerate it.

    T3 vs T4 or taking a T3/T4 together

    For what purpose exactly? If we're talking fat loss, then a replacement dose of T3 (to make up for the T4 > T3 conversion hit when dropping the pounds) is about all I'm willing to use. Or recommend to be honest. Just keep in mind that T3, at high doses, is a catabolic machine. We're just...

    So....when did macros stop being important?

    The idea that you should avoid or cut down on fruit consumption because of fructose falls very nicely into the the category of "missing the forest for the trees". It's the same level of nonsense as avoiding fruit when cutting "because sugars are bad bro". I wrote this over at UG as an...

    Superoxidative Dismutase?....

    In-vitro studies are problematic. I'd wait for these results to be replicated in a proper RCT with humans before getting excited. Quick search tells me they haven't been. Also important to note that the two key markers of real liver damage from orals are Bilirubin and GGT. If supplement isn't...

    Wrong about diets

    It's difficult to provide proof when it simply doesn't exist. Not a single study where food was controlled and provided by the lab, versus self-reporting, has shown macros to matter more than calories. Not one. Ever. It's even more difficult, in fact impossible, to provide proof when you're as...

    Rad 140 without a test base?

    There is zero scientific evidence of any SARM, rad130 included, giving us the benefits of AAS type growth without the suppression that goes with it. It's a package deal. The only key difference is that SARMS have less research behind them than AAS and hence, should be seen as the riskier...

    So....when did macros stop being important?

    I'd only be interested if you had an independent figure monitoring your caloric intake. No self-reporting for me brother. Science says it's too inaccurate ;)

    So....when did macros stop being important?

    I'm not allowed to edit my post so I'll do it here: *You are not gaining/dropping muscle or fat without a change in the energy equation. Unless you're a beginner or on PEDs.

    So....when did macros stop being important?

    If your anecdotal experience goes against the law of thermodynamics then yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. I'm sorry that there is no real "nice" way to say that. You are not gaining/dropping muscle or fat without an energy deficit. Period. Again, this is basic, well known, fact and no...

    So....when did macros stop being important?

    No one who knows what they're talking about would say that macros don't matter. Simultaneously, no one who knows what they're talking about would say that macros matter more than calories. Calories determine whether you gain or lose. Macros help determine what you gain or lose. This is basic...

    Ketosis?

    Because most people don't logic and cannot help but focus on the minutia. These folks obsess over whether or not they are in a ketogenic environment and worry about protein's insulinogenic impact on this environment. Never mind the fact that a keto environment simply doesn't matter for body...

    Ketosis?

    You can build muscle on a keto bulk; it will simply be less compared to carbs being in the mix and hence, inefficient/minimal results. To break this down... The primary stimulus for muscle growth is progressive resistance training, not protein intake. Someone who lifts but has sub-optimal...

    Ketosis?

    By reducing carbs the body may increase fat oxidation (fat for energy) but, without an energy deficit to coincide with it, it will not lead to net fat loss - which is what matters here. Keto is not suitable for bulking for the simple reason that replacing carbs with fats = less anabolic...

    Ketosis?

    What would be the purpose behind staying in ketosis for such a long period of time? Ketosis isn't magic. It's not going to lead to "constant fat burn" without a caloric deficit and is certainly sub-optimal when it comes to muscle growth. Carbs help muscle hypertrophy. Alot. As for whether its...

    Do you train to failure?

    Can you please post this science stating that training failure is optimal for hypetrophy? Because having kept up with the data religiously I can say with 100% confidence that the data, taken as a whole, does not say that. Training to failure, like most things, should be incorporated within an...

    Adding l-leucine to protein powder, food, bcaa, etc

    L-leucine is the most critical amino acid for anabolism BUT doesn't do anything without the other EAAs - same thing applies to BCAAs. As a result, if your overall protein intake is sufficient and comes from quality sources, then supplementing with either of these is a waste of money. As for...
