  1. How Much Protein Do We Really NEED for Muscle Growth, Satiety, Etc.?

    Hi Everyone, I know we have had debates, etc. about protein requirements. Of key note is the difference between minimum effective dose, a satisfactory amount and maximum tolerable dose. For example, a 150 lb man who is not weight lifting could get by with 50 grams of protein if he is not...

  3. Can Too Much Thyroid Medicine Destroy Thyroid?

    I see. So that anecdote in "Chemical Pink" it total fiction? Yes, taking so many anabolics would cause the masculizing features. But, she would never "blow up like a Walrus" because she took too much Cytomel? I am guessing she would have other problems, such as heart problems, etc. But, not...

  5. Do Powerlifters Ever Convert to Bodybuilding? Any Downsides to Powerlifting First?

    Thanks. As for the comment about Mark Bell, isn't he in "Bigger, Stronger, Faster"? I myself grew up in Huntington Beach. In fact, that Christian Boeving segment was filmed at the beach of my location.

  8. Do Powerlifters Ever Convert to Bodybuilding? Any Downsides to Powerlifting First?

    Hi Everyone, I am getting back into the gym. 1. I have done Mark Rippetoe's Starting Strength. It seems to actually work quite well. 2. Last week, I tried to cut back on calories, etc. because I am so fat and out of shape. But, as Rippetoe said, I did not keep gaining the spectacular...

  10. Can Too Much Thyroid Medicine Destroy Thyroid?

    Hi Everyone, I was reading the fictitious book, "Chemical Pink". Although unrealistic, it tries to show the life of a female bodybuilder gone wrong. In the beginning, it describes how the rich boyfriend Charles had a female bodybuilder named May. She used too many drugs, blew out her...

  11. Opinions on running PH "Anavar" stacked with PH "Dianabol"

    1. No, no, no...I would stay away from supplement stores entirely. The Max Muscle by my house advertised "Low Price Guarantee" that was absolutely false; if you called them out on it, they would not price match. So much b.s., because supplements are classified as "foods" rather than...

  12. Opinions on running PH "Anavar" stacked with PH "Dianabol"

    To me, most supplements at Max Muscle or GNC are bogus. Those hucksters sold me high-tech stuff 20 years ago. Most of it is just junk. Quite simply, it does not work. As a regular rule, no supplements would be allowed to be sold to the general public, if they were that effective. Once every...

  13. What Does Science Say About Intentional Over-Feeding?

    1. Thanks, guys. I appreciate the support; the info is informative, but not pedantic, etc. 2. I actually snuck into my gym, did some 3X5 squats, bench, chin-ups, and will repeat tomorrow. That also goes for walking again. Already, I can feel some of the muscle and strength get back. 3. I...

  14. What Does Science Say About Intentional Over-Feeding?

    I appreciate you saying this. It is not a rant at all. 1. I agree that prioritizing is essential. Beyond all these strategies, if something is a priority in life, it makes it easier to accomplish. Whether this is making money, enjoying a good work-life balance, studying at school, making...

  15. What Does Science Say About Intentional Over-Feeding?

    HIT4ME: Before we discuss more, thanks for all the info, and certainly patience. I do not mean to be annoying. Rather, I guess it sounds like I have been discouraged, negative, put a lot of info into things, etc. My guess is anyone who has lots of experience in exercise programs, etc...

  16. What Does Science Say About Intentional Over-Feeding?

    I see. I agree, doing is important. 1. In the past, significant dieting made my blood sugar so slow, energy so low, strength so low, muscles deflated, etc. 2. Is there any info on metabolic slowdown during dieting? I have read articles on Pubmed, etc. that it can happen after as little as...

  17. What Does Science Say About Intentional Over-Feeding?

    Thanks, guys. I know, it seems like I am talking in circles. But, seeing educated, knowledgeable, experienced guys like you reiterate the main points helps me stay on track. I actually am putting what you said into practice. I just got back from a walk. Although I could eat some more, I am...

  18. What Does Science Say About Intentional Over-Feeding?

    @The Solution, thanks. 1. I agree what you say about consistency. The magic pill is just staying consistent; your words of both "sustainability" and "adherence" to a program are what make it work. 2. Rather, it is just hard to find something that works. I am just very frustrated. I guess...

  19. What Does Science Say About Intentional Over-Feeding?

    Hi Everyone, 1. By now, we know that fat loss is simply a matter of accounting. That is, over a long period of time, it is the caloric deficit or surplus that determines whether weight is lost or gain; specifically, it is the presence or absence of intense exercise that determines whether...

  20. Any Way to Induce Ketosis Faster? Ketosis salts?

    I see. However, this Menno report is anecdotal, not data-driven.
