Chicken, I've spent the last 12 years of my life studying human anatomy, EX. Science, Sports Reahb amoung all the CERTs I have for CPT from highly respected places... So please, you made a post stating BB'ing is a theory, now please give me the facts and source for that. Let's get this ON!
I am in... Looking forward to this one!!!
Although, I will be away from my COM for a few, I WILL RETURN!!! MUHAHAHAHAH! {{{Evil Laugh}}}
I'm not necessarily agreeing with our man Chicken here, but I do feel the theoretical point is somewhat valid. The BB'ing world is a niche, both from a consumer product and athletic performance standpoint. The
specific activities we are doing, and therein the pathways they are being mediated throughm do not have massive bodies of research (comparatively) behind them. Especially as it pertains to anabolic steroids and 'gray market' supplements, which I think is what Chicken was mostly alluding to. There has either been very little or no research conducted on both the legal supplements we are using (talking specific analogues, phytos, etc., not base plants) in the application we are using them, as well as illegal anabolics (once again, not talking Vida, but studies to gauge the effect of long term, high-dose use in a BB'ing application). And, unfortunately, because BB'ing is not a sport which draws external advertising revenue, and, even more unfortunately, illegitimate mainstream interest in the form of viewing top competitors as sideshow freaks, I imagine this trend will continue.
So, is it theoretical to state which co-activator proteins and Estrogen receptors Tamoxifen mediates? No. However, it is completely theoretical which doses the community uses at times, and it is also theoretical Tamoxifen's combination with the OTC supplements we use in conjunction with it. I would definitely say the base mechanisms which underpin the physiology of BB'ing are not theoretical in anyway, however, the way we are modulating them is.
