    Methylprednisolone: how much muscle will I lose?

    I was prescribed a 6-day course of methylprednisolone, which is a corticosteroid to treat inflammation but has catabolic effects on muscle tissue. It is 21 4mg tablets gradually stepped down over 6 days. How much muscle will I lose?

    "Whole food" protein powders: benefits or a gimmick?

    Bought some Recon 1 whole food protein powder. Very pricey $80 for 25 servings. Ingredients include beef protein isolate, salmon protein, rolled oats, yams, etc. Is this better than just your typical gainer shake with whey, casein, and cheap carbs? Is this price justifiable for the benefit?

    Hormonal drug double standard.

    If someone believes they are a gender other than what they were biologically born as, and begins to transition by taking hormonal drugs, leftist governments and much of society will allow this and claim the person is brave and a hero. Yet if a man is not happy with his body, and begins to take...

    Bangor, ME vs Solon (Cleveland), OH.

    If you had to choose to work and live in either area, which would you chose? OH money goes further. Real estate far more plentiful. More commerce. ME is low crime. Beautiful countryside. Less populous, quiet living.

    gyno itch.

    I have not taken any gear in close to 10 years. Have minor gyno from a cycle back then. I recently started get back into lifting heavy and noticed it's flaring up and I'm not even taking any supplements! Does this mean natural T-levels could be increasing from the heavy lifting? Surprising if...

    Anavar libido.

    Thinking of running anavar only, possibly up to 100mg. I know you can't expect much from a short cycle, and that stacking test is always preferential, but all I have on hand right now is anavar and I'm gyno prone as well. Will anavar crush libido or will I have to use test to keep libido?

    SARS-CoV2

    Most don't even remember, but there was a SARS-CoV1 outbreak in 2002. I do not think it reached it reached "pandemic" levels, it is said less than 800 people died worldwide, with about 8,000 confirmed cases. Now you have SARS-CoV2, which is supposedly closely related to the SARS-CoV1 virus. And...

    Take 325mg aspirin a day?

    No heart issues run in my family but I hear so many beneficial effects of this cheap and proven drug, with the only possible side effect being gastric bleeding. I feel like I should just jump on one pill a day for life as they are mostly harmless and have many desirable effects on overall...

    Protein and coming food cost inflation.

    Not sure if the "conspiracy theories" will pan out to be true, but I think maybe they could. The 5lb tubs selling on Amazon for $40 or so, will they be $70 or $80 by this summer or fall? Is anyone else stocking up on protein powders assuming they will soon become way more expensive?

    Minimum test cypionate dose for only maintaining natural T-levels while on cycle?

    I have minor existing gyno. Thinking of a primo cycle. Without getting bloodwork, what is the lowest test dosage I should use and not have to bother with any AI while still maintaining high-normal T levels? 100mg/week would still put someone at slightly above average natural T-levels, or no...

    Would you take 10 year-old LGI SD-10 or CEL Alpha 1?

    Ah, the days when it was legal. I still have a few bottles that have been refrigerated for 10 years. Any guess as to the odds of there still being potency? Would be a shame to throw them out if there were still anabolic effects and no danger from taking them solely because of the manufacture date.

    Oxandrolone cycle.

    Is anavar mild enough to start out at 100mg / day? Or is 50 enough? Not running anything else. I've pinned test before but I just want a casual cycle this time around. Thinking of running it for 8 weeks.

    Boxers or briefs.

    Ok this is a dumb question but I promise I'm not being facetious. Why do people want their sack constricted? I haven't worn briefs since grade school. I recently tried 'boxer-briefs' and the tight feeling was so uncomfortable. So again, I'm just wondering why some people actually prefer tight...

    "Dirty" diets make cutting easier?

    If you are in maintenance and eating daily donuts and cola, does this mean to 'cut' all you have to do is drop them? After all, you will be in a caloric deficit. If you were eating "clean", you would have to cut out quality carbs and/or fats to cut, and that would seem less convenient.

    Steroid/testosterone use and blood clots.

    If you google "testosterone blood clots", various agencies are warning that even simple TRT regimens of testosterone are causing sometimes fatal blood clots in people, resulting in heart attack, stroke, or pulmonary embolism. Is it really the test that causes it though? Do these people have...

    Is drinking water really that important?

    The amount of water I actually drink in a day is extremely small. I would say as low as 36oz on non-workout days. The rest is coffee, V8 juice, green tea, a soda, and milk. If I am urinating large volumes regularly, and not dark colored, how dehydrated could I really be, and why would my...

    "Dry" steroids for bulk cycles.

    Who agrees steroids like masteron and winny can be used in a bulk? True, they really shine when cutting, but if taken in a bulk, wouldn't they exhibit the same anti-catabolic characteristics of any steroid, thereby making them useful for gaining quality mass? True, you might not "bulk up"...

    Is letrozole pointless for existing gyno?

    Was to be the last thing I try before surgery, but I wonder if it's even worth trying. If estrogen is reduced in the body, the gland might theoretically shrink down, but once I'm off the drug, my natural hormone levels will eventually be back to where they were before I took the drug. This...

    On forever?

    If gains can be more easily kept between cycles, T-levels never drop, libido is always good, no need to take SERM drugs, easier on the body, etc.....why would anyone cycle off when you could stay on 250mg testosterone year-round? It can't be because of cost because a 10ml vial of test costs $40...
