It had to come to this...
So I am low on money and despratley need a good amount quick, so I am going to be participating in a 17 day medical study. I can't workout there, use any of my supplements, and I have to eat the food they give me. Yeah... it kinda sucks, but $3000 dollars is cool.

How much muscle and strength should I expect to lose during this 17 day off period?

Everybody needs a break sometimes. Consider this a time for you to rest up...just start thinking about how hard core you'll hit it when you get back.
 


I'll be the first to admit that I am the undisputed heavy weight champ of asinine decisions. Atleast, when sitting on my rock at the bottom, I'll be able to look back and realize I grinned ear to f'ing ear the whole crazy way down.

Just out of curiousity...what type of study is it that you are participating in?
 


If you find yourself alone, riding through green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled, for you are in Elysium, and are already dead.

you wont lose jack. it will take a weeks worth of workouts to get the feeling back but you wont do any damage. i just did 8 weeks away from the gym and my diet consisted of pizza,burger and the odd steak and copious amounts of vodka and beer. 5 workouts back in the gym and i can feel my body getting back to how it was already. Strength is down but not much size lost.

Ha Its a study for a constipation drug, I don't have constipation but they are just testing side effects. Its one of the safer studies.

My friend does them all the time. He did one where they were testing an AIDS vaccine, they stuck an IV in him for 8 days, and the whole time he was throwing up and miserably sick........ but he did earn $5000 in 8 days!!! I would never personally put myself through something like that... even for the money.

that link will show you the list of studies they have available, this one is only for the Austin area. Just search medical studies in your area on google, and you should be able to find some. Some pay out like $7000 sometimes, but they are like a month long.
