    Teenager w/ a Test Booster

    You've already made some excellent gains in a short space of time and whilst that rate of progress will eventually plateau, there's lots of growing you can still do keeping it simple and saving your money for other stuff. I made my best gains between 16 and 18 without any supplements bar...

    Supplements Now vs Then - What's the First Supp that Worked for You?

    Going back to the 80's. Joe Weider's crash weight gain. It seemed to have more refined sugar in it than sugar itself! Definitely gained some weight with that.

    Gym Etiquette - Weights on Bar

    There are a few exercises (leg press, dinkey calf raise) where to leave a small amount of weight on will be a favor for the vast majority of lifters so will sometimes leave a few plates on these particular machines, otherwise if you used it last, then you're responsible for stripping off the...

    Supplements for 48 year old

    If you can get your brother in law to train regular and hard and keep calories in a small deficit each day then there's no need for supplements IMHO. They can always be added later if he starts to get more serious and the muscle gains/fat loss start to plateau, but even then the difference most...

    Stiff in the early morning immediately upon awakening

    If you train in an evening, go home, eat and then bed or something similar, there's a good chance those muscles will tighten overnight and cause stiffness. I feel like an old man for the first few minutes after getting up, then start to feel fine as the joints start to lubricate and remember...

    Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP)?

    Considered it for elbow tendonitis, but ended up electing for shockwave therapy (3 sessions), which worked out cheaper and didn't involve any time off training, although was pretty uncomfortable. Didn't totally work, but one year later seem better able to manage the discomfort with theraband...

    Would you have surgery for this shoulder tear?

    I have been a member on the forum for a little while but haven't posted, although this thread is interesting given my own history of shoulder impingement. Firstly not all tears necessarily require the same treatment and will depend on severity, but as already mentioned in the thread and based...
