Thanks for the answer lol...hell we are gonna smash wts tonight i am already frickin pumped to go to the gym fukkkkkk yyyyyyeeeeaaahhhhhh whoooooowhoooo i'm ready to rock......:dl::laugh::18:

Hell yeah!! Destroy those weights man! They are the enemy!

chest and tris again YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:bb: :bb3:

 

[Craigmatthew]

chest and tris again YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:bb: :bb3:

Chest and triceps is always a great session I'm jealous!

Thats some good eating right there bro.

Quick question: Your cup of oats dry or cooked?

I feel like a retard here...Ummm dry?? Then I add milk and microwave it??

 

[jakellpet]

retards unite! that's how I do it too. From memory 1 cup is about 100g - from there can get number CHO etc :bandit:

I think it's about 50g CHO 8g PRO etc

COLD [Update] #2

Cold is a bit better today, not perfect but much better than yesterday. May throw in a cheeky Sunday session tomorrow.

Glad you feel better doggy! do you mean Saturday? or is that NZ slang:laugh:

We aren't behind, you're just from the future!!!!

I feel your pain on the days off. I had to take 3 days off recently and I swear, it did me a world of good. My first few days back were so flippin' awesome. I'm certain my CNS needed the break as well. Things are looking good bro!

I usually find that skeletal-muscular strength is down slightly after a break, but, as you said; I feel unmistakably 'better' after a scheduled rest in regard to joint pain, sleep and so forth! Also, the time off can often provide a necessary stimulus for growth.

 

[OzzY SluGGa]

In regards to CNS Craig, do P/H's help it recover quicker? Or is it just the muscle recovery that benefits from the extra testosterone? I actually like the feeling of being ultra sore. But, I hate when my CNS is blown....

Well this is purely observational only. I think the CNS is enhanced during PH/AAS's but still will become tired with consecutive days in the gym. Fidning a balance is the key. I did 5 days in a row last week and might have been to much, also for my immune system.

its also somewhat compound dependent, max lmg/xmass/revolt has crazy crazy recovery, where depending on you some of the highly androgenic compounds could even give you worse than normal recovery (as with the strength boosts you are pushing a LOT more weight than normal)

 

[Mulletsoldier]

Strong androgens have the ability to exert CNS stimulatory effects through both genomic [activation of the AR leading to transcription-dependent organizational changes] and nongenomic [androgens can effect Ca2+ channels in the brain] mechanisms; most primarily, DHT's high binding affinity for neural AR [androgen receptors] may cause an increase in visuospatial [the recognition of space through site] capacity - this can produce a greater sense of coordination.

All this being said, and unfortunately, the literature is a bit fuzzy as it pertains to cognition: certain trials using healthy young males found no improvement in cognitive ability from exogenous T administration; others on females and transgenders, however, elucidate differing results!

Also, while strong androgens may have stimulatory effects on brain activation and organization, they do not result in increased ability to "heal" the CNS, so to speak - that is, "burnout" will happen just as frequently, if not more frequently [due to increased intensity], while using A.A.S.

Mullet my big, bulbous brained friend, I only understood the last paragraph of what you wrote. But, luckily, It was the answer to my question! As for the rest.....well.....If I get a masters in advanced chemistry or some sh1t i will come back and read it again :laugh:

 

[EasyEJL]

Rereading it all, my answer is sort of backasswards I was thinking (being an old guy) of the physical portion of recovery far more than the CNS (as its my slower, and harder to enhance than CNS)

The first portion described that androgens have genomic, and nongenomic effects. Each have physiological effects owing to their namesake: androgen-mediated genomic action is the effect the activation of the AR [androgen receptor] has on the transcription, translation and expression of target genes - the development of the prenatal brain, for example, is a genomic action of testosterone and its metabolites; on the other hand, there are also non-genomic mechanisms, which are non-transcription dependent - in other words, they are not dependent on the altered "transcription" of mRNA [i.e., gene encoding].

The data in terms of healthy, developed brains being augmented by androgens, as I said, is fuzzy at best: some data relate spatial improvements; others, not so much.

Comments on Bloods

Blood Test:
Testosterone (nmol/L) - 6.97
SHBG result (nmol/L) - 24.1
[BioT] nmol/L Morris et al - 2.37
[FreeT] pmol/L Ly et al - 84.47
Free Androgen Index - 28.91
%of T Bioavailable Morris et al - 34.0%

Not sure what to make of this yet, just got it. Dirk? This was taken 5 days into The One.

Normal Parameters for an adult male (20-40 years) for Bloods mentioned:

Total Testosterone: 10.4-34.7 nmol/L
SHBG: 6-50 nmol/L
Free Testosterone: 520-1387 pmol/L
% of T Bioavailable*: 0.3-5%

*I am assuming BioT is Free Testosterone in nmol/L and that % of T Bioavailabe is % of Free Testosterone (normally 0.3-5% of Total Testosterone) since the only Testosterone in the body that is "bioavailable" and able to be used is FREE Testosterone (correct me if I am wrong).

Both your Total Testosterone and Free Testosterone are REALLY low, Craig; despite having a higher than normal % of Free Testosterone. Which is interesting. Your lower Total Testosterone levels could be due to having run a few cycles in rapid succession; and the fact that your % of Free Testosteone is so high could be simply because your Total Testosterone is so low. Your SHG levels are normal.

Dirk, Don, any comments?
