true... i think a lack of money is what has caused some people i know not to do it very often. if done right, its expensive.
That's not necessarily true...

There is a thread on here about how you can get bloodwork done for around ~50.
That's what my friend used for his bloodwork last week.
I have used it for all of my bloodwork, smooth transaction, quick office visit, and results in your email in 24 hours. No complaints.
Gotta give this a look. I get to go home for 3 weeks in feb. I can do a full panel check. This is w/o insurance right? Hmm... maybe I just better take a look lol.
BigBlackGuy said:For sure the AH will keep off a lot of the water gain, plus in your log you're upping weight on a ton of exercises so that should help stimulate further muscle gains. Keep rolling brother!
Yeah u can put all the steroids in the world on a bench with 500 lbs, it ain't gonna move that weight! Lol my point being that we should be making strength n mass gains without the pills, if not check ur routine and ur intensity. Everybody blames the pills when they don't make any gains!!!!
HereToStudy said:I see your point. When guys say they gained "nothing" from a product, I usually am curious what their diet/routine is, because even without the product, you should have been able to have made some progress over that time.
Agreed, if you gained "nothing" then I already suspect your diet and training since you should be gaining something naturally to begin with.I see your point.

My favorite thing is when I hear that protein powder "doesn't work." WTF does that even mean? That's like saying food doesn't build muscle.
haha, i was guilty of that for too long throughout high school and such... 'that creatine (just a 'new and improved' monohydrate) doesnt work' or 'that protein doesnt do anything'.... although, i like to think i cant take full blame as the juicehead trainers at the gym i went to always swore they were natural and would say stuff like 'give ____ a try, it works wonders'... so in my mind, i actually believed that they were natural, and the reason they were like 5'10 270 bodybuilders was because of supplements. But, at the end of the day, its my fault for being ignorant, and ive said a million times if i could change ONE thing, it would be going back to my teenage/early 20's and eating a ****LOAD more. i had the mentality that i could eat 2,000 calories a day, take a scoop of protein and 10g creatine and get huge.... stupid... especially when i weighed 138 at close to 6'0 when i started lol smh
yeah, its pretty sad when my most substantial gains in a year didnt happen in my FIRST year.
dumbest food related blunder i ever made was in high school... i was never hungry when i woke up, so rather than force myself to eat or even at least have a weight gainer shake, id opt out of breakfast and wait until lunch to eat my first meal of the day (of course, then id go to the gym right after school without eating.... never could figure out why i wasnt gaining lol)

Nice...
Apparently, he's no longer with EFS. He moved/is moving to the Dallas/Ft. Worth are to spend more time with his son.
Isn't that around your way?
For some reason I vaguely remember you saying you were in Texas

Very nice. Always good to have options to recommend to guys.
You know aren't you supposed to gain 20 pounds of muscle off one tub of nitrotech?My favorite thing is when I hear that protein powder "doesn't work." WTF does that even mean? That's like saying food doesn't build muscle.
You know aren't you supposed to gain 20 pounds of muscle off one tub of nitrotech?
its funny because when i FIRST started working out the guy at gnc said 'youre really lean, so the big tub (like $80) of cell tech will put on a lean 20 lbs, after the water weight comes off, youll keep at least 12'.... being that i knew nothing about supplements, and thought creatine was 'hardcore', i believed him... smh..... i also remember freshman year of college being stupid and believing 'gakic' or whatever it was caused would actually give you a '10.5% increase in strength with just one serving'.
im just sitting here laughing at the thought i could take a supplement and my bench would immediately increase by 20 lbs hahah
I looked back on this and we had some good discussions going on here.

Wild Bill comparing this to PH sides vs sides of the andromass.
Cost more but get added peace of mind safety wise was one of the major take a ways I got from the discussion.

Bill86, did u ever decide on a product yet?
bill86 said:im sure people around here think im crazy because i always talk about this 'future' cycle im planning, haha, but i think im gonna go with PP products, which is a little more costly of a route but, as you said in another post, it gives me peace of mind... basically, im waiting on my tax return in hopes that ill have enough then. i just started school again in august, and 1L year of law school you're not allowed to have a job (not that i could handle one anyway), so basically the most money ive had in my bank account in the past 6 months is about $70 (to last me several days, haha)... so long story short, i have no money, CANT have a job, so im waiting on my tax return in hopes itll be enough which is why its been such a long, drawn out process haha..... my tax return situation is a little messed up this year, so ill probably only be getting back about 200 bucks at most, which plays a factor (NO extra money for a serm, cycle support if i add epi, etc)
my friend has some left over epi, which i may use for a couple of weeks (but maybe not) then run a 4 week androhard cycle at full dosage and follow it up with the TRS (kinda iffy on this IF i go the added epi route, but ill likely do AH 4 weeks with TRS for sure, just not sure sure if the added epi will require a more substantial pct... ie, serm).
id be doing it in the spring, so im opting for AH for a recomp vs AM for a bulk. but yeah, thats the plan as of now, who knows what'll happen between now and february when im actually able to get something haha. im on the fence about only running AH for 4 weeks, but if i could lose a couple bf% and gain a couple lbs/maintain body weight, id be happy.

bill86 said:yep... 5-7 meals a day is costly enough, and thats before you even add supplements
