    Any new natty anobolics?

    What's the last product you've used? Over the last year, the two most talked about on the forum that are the newest would be MassMax and Vector. Very solid feedback and reviews on MassMax so far - it's a very complete product with a solid profile. ArA is always a solid option as well.

    Does Hypermax or vasomax change the color of urine?

    I've noticed a more orange urine when using Hypermax - both the Orange Mango and Strawberry Kiwi. It's probably due to the coloring in the supplements. If you drink it on an empty stomach it's likely that it's causing some coloration in your urine - nothing to be concerned about

    Favorite gainer/meal replacement

    When I used to use gainer shakes in college, MHP Up Your Mass was my favorite as well. Now I just make my own and save a bit of money. I typically do 12-16oz milk, 1-2 scoops of whey, 1tbsp of PB, and 1/2 to 1 cup of oats. Depending on calories I'll add in honey too. I've found making your own...

    How can I get bigger forearms and wrists?

    Wrist size is genetic, just like ankle size. There isn't much you can do to increase your wrist size, but there are a lot of exercises you can do for your forarms. Wrist curls (with a dumbell or barbell) are great forearm builders. Also deadlifts and other static grip exercises will improve grip...

    GDAs, does one ingredient hinder another's effectiveness?

    This. Are GDA's helpful? Yes. But I feel like you are overthinking this a bit with your approach. I would just stick to using all of the ingredients for your heavy carb meals, and don't overthink your process with cycling each one each month. And to Rockzilla 's comment - consistent exercise...

    Critique my recomp meal plan

    As others said, you need some fiber and veggies in there. I would add in a serving of green vegetables with each of the chicken+rice meals. I feel like a lot of the feedback was harsh - this isn't too awful of a plan. I just fear that it will be redundant and get boring. I've done similar...

    Best tactics for mini cut and.. GO

    Totally up to you. I was just factoring a bigger deficit due to the time frame. It might be good to start with a smaller deficit and reassess in a few weeks and be more aggressive if you're running out of time

    GDAs, does one ingredient hinder another's effectiveness?

    Never personally used glycoshield yet, but I've heard good things. My personal recommendation would be Slinmax, which contains all of the ingredients mentioned by OP: Na-R-Ala - 250mg Agmatine Sulfate - 750mg Cinnamon (Cassia) - 100mg Banaba Extract (2% Corsolic) - 100mg + other great GDA...

    Best tactics for mini cut and.. GO

    I would suggest a moderate calorie deficit and add in extra cardio - nothing too wildly different from a normal cut. I would also recommend switching up your training program - DC is geared toward strength and it will be challenging to recover properly while eating in a deficit. You may want to...

    GDAs, does one ingredient hinder another's effectiveness?

    Is there a reason you want to cycle the ingredients? It would be easier and more cost effective to buy a GDA that includes all of these ingredients, and use it daily as needed before carb meals. Splitting up the ingredients and rotating them weekly/monthly won't be any more effective or...

    cutting supplements - that dont effect the heart

    You got it! That sounds like a solid plan. I think 8-12 weeks cutting is sufficient to see good progress, and then transition into a lean bulk with MassMax. Keep us posted on how things are going!

    cutting supplements - that dont effect the heart

    Most thermogenic products with mild amounts of stimulants won't have any negative impact on the heart. The more intense thermogenics (clen, t3, etc.) can negatively impact heart health, but I wouldn't be concerned with using an over-the-counter product. Any transdermal would be the best...

    Macro Diet for Body Recomp

    At your current body fat, I think it would be wise to stay consistently in a calorie deficit. If you've never tracked calories and macros I would stick with 3500 calories if you think that is on par with what your calorie maintenance would be. Keep calories consistent for 1-2 weeks and see if...

    Permanent shrinking fat cells

    How did you assess that you were at 8% bodyfat? Typically when you are in the sub-10% level, almost all subcutaneous fat is gone and the small percentage left is essential visceral fat. You shouldn't have 15mm skinfolds anywhere if you are at a true 8%BF. If you are cutting and that is the...

    Trouble areas

    I would keep the weights moderate to heavy in the 8-12 rep range. Low weight and high reps for burning fat is a myth, and the best way to lose the weight is to keep doing what you're doing. Massive props for dropping 80lbs. Now it's just a matter of time - keep push and keep doing what you're...

    My Shred Stack...Performax and OL. Thoughts?

    Welcome to the forum, and congrats on your progress so far. Sounds like you've been putting in the work and also reading up and doing your homework. Respect! Definitely a solid stack outlined. I would also suggest sticking with FitMax, or at least trying it out to compare and see which you...

    BUILD MUCSCE AT AGE 31

    jtmass nailed it. And so did Jeremyk1. If you're an "on and off" gym goer, the first step is to commit to a schedule and program that works for you. If you want to be serious about changing your body, you need to be serious about putting the time in. 4-5 days per week would be ideal for...
