  1. How Influential Is the Testosterone Number?

    Thanks for the info. I am slowly understanding it. Out in California, many alternative medicine (wannabe) doctors, chiropractors, etc. take a blood test (maybe even at a less than recommended time). They often make leaps of errors in logic, such as "Your testosterone in 320 and you are 37...

  2. How Influential Is the Testosterone Number?

    Hello Everyone, 1. For my whole life, my testosterone has been able 320 on the 300 - 1000 reference range. Regular general practitioners have always said it is fine, since LH, etc. is normal Many bodybuilders, wannabe doctors (chiropractors) and others have been alarmed at a man in his 20's...

  3. Any Supplements Needed When Eating So Many Vegetables?

    Thanks, The Solution. I do read and try to internalize what you say. I just know that our own minds can play tricks on us. I also know that anecdote does not equal data. I try to learn from past mistakes. I would prefer accurate measures such as a reliable scale weight, accurate body...

  4. Any Opinions On Becoming a Cyclist? Outdoor Versus Indoor?

    Hi Everyone, I realize I am fat and out of shape. 1. As Athlean-X explains scientifically, skinny fat is caused by two things: - Not being in a caloric deficit - Insufficient intensity of exercise program Invalid Link Removed It explains why some people do lots of cardio, but because their...

  5. Any Updates on Cardarine?

    Agreed. Even those who use it sensibly had problems. My family friend is a psychiatrist, and saw people go schizophrenic on it. I think many of the deaths, etc. with ephedra etc. were using a higher than normal dose, even using diet and exercise.

  6. Any Updates on Cardarine?

    Good for you. That is impressive and shows that these supplements are not necessarily poison. Of course, let's hope that your anecdote could be applicable to all, and be shown in data-driven analysis. Certainly, with all these adverse effects, it shows that the anecdotes of other people differ.

  7. Any Updates on Cardarine?

    With Ephedrine, 18000 reports of side effects: Invalid Link Removed With Ephedra, some deaths: Invalid Link Removed I do see your point, that most people go off the deep end (no food, 3x the Ephedrine or Ephedra, exercising too strenuously). But, I will say there are still some temporary and...

  8. Any Updates on Cardarine?

    Hi Everyone, I was always fascinated by Cardarine, and feel so tempted to try, as many chemists can make in Russia and China. 1. Any updates on its human usage? I know some government sites compile info, such as Australia's excellent one: Invalid Link Removed 2. Can anyone who has tried...

  9. Is There a Single Best Book or Best Guide for TRT?

    Hi Guys, I am about to be 37. I have definitely gained a lot of weight: some due to aging, some to inactivity, some due to meds. My testosterone levels have always been 300-350, even though I don't show signs of hypogonadism. I have always been aggressive, put on muscle, etc. I just think I...

  10. Is There a Single Best Book or Best Guide for TRT?

    Hi Guys, I am about to be 37. I have definitely gained a lot of weight: some due to aging, some to inactivity, some due to meds. My testosterone levels have always been 300-350, even though I don't show signs of hypogonadism. I have always been aggressive, put on muscle, etc. I just think I...

  11. Any Way to Test For Protein Deficiency?

    Thanks. To me, it's just hard to get in the middle with muscle mass, strength, and not be bulky. Even 10mg of Oxandroline skyrockets my hunger and makes me bulk up, even though I feel much stronger and confident. Rather, I just want to look like this regular guy: Invalid Link Removed

  12. Any Way to Test For Protein Deficiency?

    Smont, thanks for that. I guess people like Nick Delgado do the extreme (so-called "bioidentical testosterone" and only fruits and vegetables), yet still are lean and muscular. Yet, he is doing these extreme things as a profession to prove himself. For the rest of us, best sensible diet...

  13. Any Way to Test For Protein Deficiency?

    No, really. I wonder if bodbuilder's using mega-doses of hardcore ones like Anadrol would ever be vegan? Or simply on vegetables? 1. My guess is their protein synthesis is so high that they could at least maintain muscle on a low calorie, vegetable only diet. 2. On a much milder scale, I...

  14. Any Way to Test For Protein Deficiency?

    I agree. I have nothing against meat and enjoy it. I just think the idea that we need so much protein per pound of bodyweight is bunk. Some people, like this Nick Delgado, prove that under certain conditions, only raw, vegan, and plants will suffice. Others, such as Will Brink, show up to 2...

  15. Any Way to Test For Protein Deficiency?

    Agreed. Nick Delgado has lived in my hometown for decades. I am trying what he's doing 80/20% rule. More vegetables, fruits, whole grains...yes. More plant proteins and animal proteins sparingly...yes. 100% meat, dairy and doing nothing but raw and vegan...too difficult for anyone to do all...

  16. Any Way to Test For Protein Deficiency?

    Also, as for info, it's hard for me to move past anecdote and see data driven studies. Compared to a pharmaceutical drug, etc. how much research is done in exercise physiology? Even something like "Tabata Protocol" etc. was only done on dozens of people, and replicated a few times. Not...

  17. Any Way to Test For Protein Deficiency?

    I'm sorry. I am not trolling. I don't wish to appear dumb, etc. Rather, it's just that I have more trouble getting results than others. When dieting and exercising, I tend to lose more energy levels, muscle and strength, even with the fat. When bulking, I tend to gain fat much more than...

  18. Any Way to Test For Protein Deficiency?

    1. Yet. If someone was on strong enough gear, I would think plant foods would be enough. No? 2. My basic nutrition teacher told me the Amino Acid pool lasts about 24 hours. So, something like rice for breakfast and beans for lunch would provide enough amino acids, even though a complete...

  19. Any Way to Test For Protein Deficiency?

    Hi Everyone, 1. What scientific ways are there to test for protein deficiency? 2. Is there a specific bloodtest, etc.? 3. We all know the ways to lose fat is caloric deficit. Essentially, lots of vegetables and protein is the common idea for many, many people. Yet, I wonder if all that...

  20. Can Anyone Definitively Prove Protein Needs for Active People?

    Hi Everyone, I see some people read a lot, and give opinions. Is there any single guide that tells us our protein needs. I see many mixed messages: 1. Traditional bodybuilding meatheads always speak of more protein. In fact, even educated people like Will Brink speak about eating up to 2...
