You're asking about taking a research chemical which at best increases your HGH/IGF-1 levels to a little above high/normal when you're in that range already? I personally wouldn't do it. Reason being you're still growing at 18 and your hormones are though the roof. Short of taking AAS you're not...

For me there is the barbell squat and then there's the rest.

Depends mate. Firstly on the individual and also your level of proficiency. A beginner for example could potentially max out every week without over training while an advanced athlete may test a max only every few months. The stronger you become, the more taxing lifts are on your CNS/recovery...

Oh nice I didn't expect so much input here. Thanks Renegade I've used a similar routine as you mention but it lends more to muscle gain. Gaining muscle comes fairly easy for me as a mesomorph but I'm one of those guys who looks stronger than they are. Hyde, thanks for your input man I'll...

Sounds about right for a strained muscle. Years ago I strained my right quad during squats and it's now a recurring theme if I don't take time to warm up carefully. Take more time to stretch prior to lifting and perform numerous light sets with slow controlled high reps to increase blood flow to...

First cycles are usually the wow cycles. I guess if you were doing a lot of things wrong first time round there's a lot of room for improvement next run. Get your nutrition, sleep and a sound training split together the rest should take care of itself. You have a great physique now and if you...

Depends really. Normally around 45-60 mins 6-7 days a week with minimal rest between sets. Now I'm doing a run of Smolov (midway through base meso) and I'm finding it really feels like a deload. Time is no more than 30 minutes with rest between sets and legs trained EOD.

Thanks but Supreme Labs MK raw is twice the price of my previous source. I'll keep on searching.

What has happened to MK677?? I've just run out (buy 10g bulk powder) and made my way onto Ebay to restock and it's disappeared. No listings at all and the source I'd used for my last batch has disappeared which is a shame as it was very potent. I know there's a bunch of China labs selling raw...

I've been seeing a lot of YT trainers recommend partial squats to those looking to further develop their glutes. Just one such article https://powerliftingtechnique.com/ass-to-grass-squats/ This advice has baffled me as it has always been my experience that the lowest portion of the squat...

You'll have to experiment there. Nobody can tell you what is too much for your body or how taxing your day to day life is. You can certainly still make progress with a physically demanding lifestyle you just have to keep things in perspective.

A good bromance can be better than a solo mission as you can motivate and push one another. I trained with a child hood friend in my late teens and early 20's. We knew each other like brothers, had the same mentality/goals and were learning and sharing ideas on training ,nutrition as we went...

Spend a session or two with a coach before you cement bad training habits. As you get stronger you'll risk severe injury if your form is not on point. You can train for an emphasis on strength and look great, it all comes down to body fat. You'll always be stronger at a higher bodyfat % than...

At a point the effort/reward ratio diminishes. Doing twice the work doesn't necessarily equate to twice the gains and many have tried pushing the envelope to see how much training they can get away and still make progress. Even with GVT a number of trainees have found that by cutting the volume...

Brian Shaw or Hafthor Bjornsson would be up there. Also a prime Eddie Hall comes to mind (420lb)
