    Is it better to use toremifene at 80mg for 3.5 weeks, or 40mg for the remaining 7 weeks after 40mg 1st week?

    I'm taking toremifene for gyno and I've noticed some improvement, but it's only been 5 days. I haven't felt any sides at all. I was wondering if I should just up it for the remaining 3.5 weeks, or just keep it at 40mg for 7 more weeks. It would be nice to get a test boost too, but my main...

    How do people get calories on a budget on keto?

    I was thinking of trying keto, but I'm concerned even in a calorie deficit that I won't get enough calories. I'd like to hold on to as much muscle as possible and my guess would be starting out around 2,200 calories. If you search anything about keto, no one talks about this. So what am I...

    Pin press joint health and strength

    So, I can't seem to do any variation of the bench press,except pin press that does not involve me hitting the damn columns in the squat rack. Once this happens it throws my balance all off and not to mention the dangers of it. So I decided to try pin presses. The trouble is, I have to do flat...

    So is millet bad for you?

    As I posted on the thread with my question about brown rice, I have recently started going gluten free. I know millet is a gluten free grain, but I heard it can cause thyroid issues. I've never had millet in my life, but if it's something bad I want to avoid it.

    Is phytate in brown rice an issue?

    So, I found out I am gluten intolerant recently and have been eating brown rice daily as a source of carbs and calories. I read about phytate in brown rice blocking the absorption of nutrients, but does that mean it just blocks the nutrients from the rice itself, in general, or is it so small...

    My grip keeps holding me back on sumo/sumo romanian deadlifts

    So the most I ever got on deadlifts was doing sumo style and I got 405 for just one rep. I trained and trained and still kept coming back to 405 for one rep. So, I decided to switch it up and do sumo romanian deadlifts. Well, to pout it simply, I have flat feet and I'm in my early 30s. I just...

    Any big benefit to doing reverse curls cross body?

    I tried it today just to switch it up from hammer curls and felt a huge pump in my arms, but apparently I must be the only person on Earth that does these, since all I can find is info on curl body hammer curls.

    Unanswered Will Romanian Deadlifts help me sumo deadlift more?

    Right now I am recovering from an si joint injury. It wasn't actually caused by deadlifts, but by bad posture sitting on my chair. I PC game a lot and hence am in my chair a lot. Anyway, I went from standard deadlifts to hybrid sumos awhile ago and I got up to 385 hybrid sumo for a set of 3, but...

    Unanswered I'm curious, are these good numbers? I think I'm close to my natural max limit.

    So for reference, I'm 31, 6 foot(182cm) and weigh 260(118kg). I do need to loose weight though, about 45 pounds (21kg). Anyway, I bench press with dumbbells on a high incline at 45 degrees, because of past shoulder injuries from barbell ego lifting in my 20s. So I'm benching with dumbbells that...

    Unanswered Can I used two bumper plates on the bar, instead of usign a mat?

    So, here's the deal, my elbows have been taking a beating from deadlifting. I don't drop the bar, but when progressing on the lift, there is impact. I ordered stall mats from Amazon, they sent me the wrong ones. I ordered stall mats from overstock and they canceled my order and said they were...

    Unanswered Deadlifting on wrestling mats?

    Good idea, or no? They're the only mats on Amazon that look like they're worth anything. Every site I go to for house stall mats want hundreds of dollars in shipping. I get free shipping on Amazon since I have Prime, but of course they don't carry horse stall mats.

    So I switched from convention deadlifts to an Ed Coan style of deadlifting with a narrow sumo stance. I love this form of deadlifting and feel it much more in my legs and much less stress on my back, as in none. Now, I did lower weight by a lot from what I was doing with convention. My issue now...

    Any diet advice/supplements for someone with carb sensitivity?

    So, I'm extremely carb sensitive. I have a slow metabolism and it does not even matter if I'm in a calorie deficit, or do cardio. What usually happens is, I might loose 10-15 pounds in a few months after being very strict with diet and doing cardio and then it'll stall for months to the point...
