  1. Are raw eggs ok? Not if you don't care about the protein!

    Raw beef is pretty tough. If you've cooked it enough that it's no longer rubbery, you been denaturing the protein and making the meat more digestible - you don't need to overcook it for it to be cooked.

  2. Are raw eggs ok? Not if you don't care about the protein!

    MaDmaN - this wasn't about the debate on food safety / salmonella. This was about the (roughly) half the protein in eggs doesn't get absorbed if they're not cooked. I thought that was worth considering. If you get raw eggs cheap and like 'em that way, fine, but if you're carefully measuring...

    Not quite dead set, but pretty close at this point. If I do, I'll try to do a log online. At the very least, I'll be reporting back with my results.

    What do I have against long cycles? What appeals to me? You're asking my opinion immediately after dismissing a long post for being theory and opinion... what exactly are you fishing for? Or did you just not see the answers to your questions in what I wrote?

  5. Are raw eggs ok? Not if you don't care about the protein!

    You're absolutely right... I originally worded it "... if you don't care about the protein, sure!" Then I re-worded it, intending to say what you said, but botched the job. That's what I get for proofreading the body, but not the title!

    Why short cycles? Because it may have a lot of advantages and not a lot of disadvantages. I think it's worth considering, so I'll try to lay out all the reasoning behind this one. Why 4-6 week cycles in the first place? With slow-acting injectables, you need many days - or weeks - before it's...

  7. Are raw eggs ok? Not if you don't care about the protein!

    I picked this up listening to an interview with Richard Wrangham, who wrote Catching Fire: How Cooking Made us Human. In talking about digestibility of foods, he brought up the fact that - and this was news to me - although meat and protein that reaches the large intestine is consumed before it...

    The shoulder injury is waaaay old... I think I was 17 when I did the dive over the table. Never got proper medical attention, and never did find out exactly what was attenuated... The shoulder is fine for every-day purposes, and never gives pain. But if I do a barbell press, going heavy makes it...

    Now the research is getting more interesting. I'm certainly not doing a 4-6 week cycle any time soon, so if I do anything, it will be a 2-week "short cycle" or "pulse." I do notice that most people running Hdrol have a gradual ramp-up, and those same people tend to note "little effect" until...

    I have been lifting... I just don't got to my 3RM often, and have never tested my 1RM. From how I feel squatting 225, I know I can break 250x3, maybe even 265x3 if I cycled up to it. I have achilles tendinopathy, a replaced ACL (sports injury), torn or attenuated ligament in a shoulder (from a...

    Bill Roberts was one of the early advocates, (see The 2-On, 4-Off Cycle: A Case Study by Bill Roberts ), but others have written on it. The idea is based on the fact that unlike injectable anabolics like Testosterone Enanthate which take a few weeks to be fully absorbed, many of the orals...

    Quick update... 3-pt skinfold shows about 17.25% bf. I think I'm a little heavy on the visceral fat right now, so I'l round it up to 18%. Clearly, I was still way off on my pessimistic original estimate! Other notes: UnrealMachine, max squat was 265x3 (with real depth, no partials), max sldl...

    Hmmm. Firstly, if OTC PCT is out of the question with anything stronger than H-Drol, then I'm unlikely to go with anything stronger until I start doing blood tests and clearing things with my doc. Nextly, if the 2-week-on 5-week-off idea is a no-go because the compounds really need 4-6 week...

    Ouch. That hurts. I think I have to break out my bodyfat calipers... lately, they've only been used to measure my achilles tendons, but maybe I should try using them as god intended. Points taken. I suspect if I come back with 20% BF your advice will stay unchanged... but to be fair, I don't...

    Hi all. Looking for OTC PH advice; there is a lot of info out there, and I'm the search-research-and-learn type, but I quickly realized that: - There's a lot of misinformation out there - There's a lot of dated information (i.e., detailed research on banned substances, or stuff that is just...
