  1. In the Mail ....

    I applaud your bravery, good sir. GW501516 scares the ever-living crap out of me; when a big pharmaceutical company has what seems, by all accounts, to be an absolute miracle drug on its hands that could tap into one of the biggest markets ever (lipid improvement! weight loss! endurance gain!)...

  2. Is Agmatine the holy-grail of supplements?

    I love taking the baggies of white powder through TSA screening! It's especially great when you jam it in a blender bottle with the little shaker balls -- those don't look suspicious at all on the luggage x-ray.

  3. Ergonine

    I'm already almost through my first tub (of 10!) and would not hesitate to buy more in new flavors. The WAF was the only limiter, but I even have her on board now!

  4. Ergonine

    Is Amino-IV officially transitioning from the PES label to the Athletix label? Just noticing its presence on the website. I know it was rumored that open-labeling the prop blend was on the way, but I didn't hear if that meant it was transitioning brands, too. The whole PES/Analyzed/Athletix...

  5. Is Agmatine the holy-grail of supplements?

    Invalid Link Removed apparently ramped up dosage to 3560mg and noted only transient GI distress (faded after a few days) as a negative side. Duration was short, though.

  6. Ergonine

    I believe that combining your carnitine salts actually attenuates the benefits of each one (i.e. you lose the AR activity of LCLT and the cognitive effects of ALCAR). Can't find the study at the moment (yeah, yeah). So I'd just stick with the LCLT in Ergonine, maybe dosing some ALCAR later in...

  7. Sleep aids

    Easy ones are magnesium and glycine (you can actually purchase magnesium diglycinate to cover both). Magnesium will be particularly effective if you're deficient, which is likely if you don't eat a lot of nuts or leafy greens. Just be sure to supplement a good form, as some cheaper ones (e.g...

  8. Ashwagandha Dosage/Brand

    Very wide therapeutic range. From the Examine article: There's no standardization mentioned here, but we can assume that higher-potency standardizations like Sensoril or KSM-66 are a bit more potent gram-per-gram (I'd have to dig into the cited studies to see if they controlled for...

  9. Kratom ban

    I'd be curious to hear from people with actual experience since I just ordered mine, but it sounds like the green and white kinds are more stimulatory while the red and blues are more sedating. People's accounts of the white is almost like a stimulatory nootropic, while the green stuff sounds...

  10. Kratom ban

    From the little bit of research I did before pulling the trigger, it sounds like the dark dependency issues come from using it with opiates, as there's likely some synergy going on there. Even the sedating/pain-relief strains didn't seem to independently have anything too alarming about them...

  11. Ashwagandha Dosage/Brand

    It's an adaptogen. Lots of 'general health' benefits, but particularly good for stress relief/relaxation. Examine.com's summary is decent: Invalid Link Removed OP, both Sensoril and KSM-66 are good extracts. You mainly want to avoid any non-standardized ones, as you have no idea how useful (or...

  12. Kratom ban

    Yeah, descriptions seem good for that. The green MD sounds perfect for working out, while the white sounds like a nice occasional productivity booster. Looking forward to trying the others for the evening relaxation aspect.

  13. Kratom ban

    You guys got me interested enough to try this stuff. Just ordered 4oz of MD, 2oz each of white, red, blue to experiment with. Crazy that this stuff is touted for both energy/focus AND sleep/relaxation depending on strain/dose.

  14. Need a high stim pwo. Suggestions?

    I must be reading the wrong product listing, then. Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed I see there's a "demigod edition," though, that jives with what you say: Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed Is this a new/old version sort of thing? Confusing. DGE does look quite nice, though...

  15. Need a high stim pwo. Suggestions?

    I totally agree with what you're saying, Ben, but that's actually why I disprefer "all-in-one" preworkouts. I don't train every day, but want to take my saturation supplements (creatine, beta alanine, TMG, what have you) every day. AIO pres like Conqu3r put me in a difficult situation: do I go...

  16. Ergonine

    L-Citrulline on its own isn't bad, but that much malate definitely has a "tang" to it. Agreed on the agmatine, though--it just tastes kind of "stale" or something, like it's faintly gone bad somehow.

  17. best pre workout?

    I was starting to the worry that I was the only Max Out fan here.

  18. Ergonine

    You know the flavoring system is top-notch when it still tastes good with 8g citrulline malate!

  19. One last time! CREATINE WHEN CUTTING?

    Creatine: all the time, every time. The cheaper (while retaining legitimacy) the better.

  20. Instant Vs. Fast/Slow Protein Blend For Athletes

    Great suggestions here so far. I'd add that you really don't need to be slamming dextrose after activity -- just eat whatever carbs you like when you want them. Also, unless you're training fasted, the BCAAs are probably not doing anything. There's absolutely no need to consume a...
