    Hey, guys. Been a while since I've dropped in on the site. Incidentally, I havent kept up with the supplement market for a long time and am fairly out of touch with what's around and what's good these days.

    Two containers of White Flood 2.0 gone bad!

    I recently bought a container of White Flood 2.0 when it went on sale. I dont think it was purchased on Labor Day sale, probably either 4th of July sale or Memorial Weekend sale. Anyways, I had used at most 3 scoops from this container, and a few other scoops from a smaller, sample container of...

    Tossing Weight With Torobestia: Powerlifting Log

    It's been a while since I've kept a log here at AM. I hope my friends from other logs and anyone else will join me here while I kick some ass. In the time since I last logged here, I made a switch from DC training to powerlifting. During the last log I kept, I had injured my hip from...

    Can we fix this, AM? (shoulder impingement)

    Hey all. Basically, the issue I have is that I have a shoulder impingement according to an osteopathic doctor. She did not confirm this with MRI, but based this diagnosis upon my description of my problem (pain, where it hurts, how it affects articulation of the shoulder) and X-rays (to exclude...

    Invalid Link Removed Plus commentary by Mark Bell. I watched the vid muted because I'm at work. It'll be interesting to see what Mark is talking about in the video. But anyways, included in the vid is Stan blasting up the 905.

    Pro-inflammatories and anti-inflammatories: Effex on Performance

    Didn't have space to write "effects." Throughout various threads on AM, I have noticed a lot of discussion pertaining to the use of inflammation-modulating substances in a bodybuilding/athletic context. Basically, it seems that inflammatory agonists such as arachidonic acid (ArA) is...

    Review section bug

    I wrote a review for a product, and when I posted it I realized it had the wrong rating (this may have been my fault since I did everything fast). I thought I would change the rating by deleting my post and posting up a new review. When I deleted my post/review, however, the rating still...

    Opened a messy ABE Bottle :(

    Hey, PES. Yesterday I opened up a new bottle of ABE to continue on my 60 day stack cycle (ABE, EP, DAA, Endosurge [Endosurge for 30 days]), and I found it had all this brownish red stuff in the bottle and over the pills. It was kind of like thin mud? Since I needed 2 pills from there for that...

    ****tail of Ugliness! - PES Erase Pro/Anabeta Elite + DAA + Endosurge log

    This is kind of a monstruous log of sorts, at least since I'm taking so many supplements at once. The only product on this list that I've ran before is Erase Pro. I've used DAA, but it did nill for me. I did used to take it with food, however, whereas on the bottle it says to take it on an empty...

    Toro Moving West(side)

    Finally decided to ditch my old gym and join a good gym. I used to lift at my school's gym as a faculty member there, but now I am lifting at a place called The Gym. It's a small garage packed with all sorts of goodies, including heavy dumbbells, reverse hypers, GHRs, monolifts, 5-6 different...

    Conjugate Method for Raw Lifters

    Well, I've read almost all of Westside Barbell Book of Methods (I'm on the part after GPP, preparing for a contest?). I am pretty happy to have finally read this thing. My main qualm with what I read is that just about nobody who is an elite raw lifter uses the dynamic method template as-is. I...

    Some truth in mainstream(ish) media!

    Invalid Link Removed It's on now. They're discussing the benefits on low carb diets on sustained weight loss, also citing insulin control and insulin sensitivity, vs. low fat diets, and how low fat high carb diets are a bad idea.

    Thinking about joining a new gym .... thoughts?

    I've always been interested in powerlifting. It was what I first started with at the gym, however my journey into powerlifting was very short lived as the members of the PL team all graduated and left about 3 months after I got into it. Since then I've pretty much been doing...

    Pain in your elbows squatting or benching?

    Found an article posted last year on a way one might address this pain in your elbows and/or shoulders when squatting or benching: Invalid Link Removed This is an issue that has surfaced for me back in May that made squatting brutal. I could only take 4 sessions of it before I started scouring...

    Website to connect with local farmers for beef/eggs/etc

    I think JudoJosh posted a link months, maybe years ago that could put you in contact with local farmers around you where you could get grass-fed beef on the low, possibly other meats and eggs. I bookmarked that on my old computer, which has long since broken down, so I was hoping someone could...

    OstaRX dose TIMING question

    I was wondering if any of the testers took the whole recommended dose of OstaRX (20mg) at once rather than throughout the day and what their results were like, both physique wise (fatloss and muscle gain) and on their blood panel (a more pronounced shutdown of test, or more increased E, or other...

    Question about Dips and neck-aches/headaches/nausea

    I've been having some issues doing dips lately that I wanted to throw out there to see if anyone had any ideas. I appreciated your input with my squat question (an issue which hasn't reappeared, strangely enough), so here's this. I do weighted dips with about a 4 second negative, normal...

    Napping 1h before workouts

    Hey, AM. What's the word on taking naps an hour or so before workouts? Is there any science or long-term practical experience that shows this helps/hurts/is neutral? This might all be dependent, too, on when you work out. Maybe taking a nap before you work out at 11am if you woke up at 6am...
