My workouts are always about 45 minutes or less. I do 1 body part per day. Research on the topic of reps found 10+ sets per muscle per week elicited greater hypertrophy than <10 sets. So I do ~3 different exercises of 5 sets each. That is a total of 15. I go 8 reps on everything with the...

I never got to use the conjugate method when I competed, but did use parts of it towards the end of my career. I trained a lot with Anthony Clark, who had spent some time with Louie Simmons. Now, what I did do was use it exclusively to train football players year-round when I was a football...

I have had a few surgeries and pissed off all of my surgeons because I went very quickly back into the gym Why? Because I still have the uninjured side of the body that works. Cross-education is a rehab phenomenon where training the uninjured limb helps preserve strength and function in the...

Let me add this too..... MGF matters—but it’s not the boss of hypertrophy. It’s more like a specialized foreman that shows up after hard training, does some early repair and setup, then hands the project off to the big players. In real-world hypertrophy, these dominate: 1. Mechanical tension...

Here is something to consider when choosing optimal reps. MGF (Mechano Growth Factor) is a splice variant of IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1), specifically IGF-1Ec in humans. It’s mechanically induced — expressed in response to muscle overload or damage. MGF plays a key role in...

I will add this developed through tons of research.....of course, yellow is optimal. For me, I tried the high rep stuff and lost size and strength.

I quit giving anyone advice in the gym a long time ago. Most only want you to validate the stupidity they are already doing. So I turn my music up loud, get tunnel vision and concentrate onmy own training. That way I can get in and out of the gym and not have to spend a lot of time talking.

I have never let my use of anabolic steroids be an excuse and have never bought into this "roid rage" crap. I think it is just an excuse used by some to be an asshole. Same thing with drinking alcohol. However, I worked in nightclubs for 21 years of my life and was forced to solve a lot of...

I remember you from another board too......welcome.

I won't re-write what has already been said, but almost 20 years ago, DatBtrue wrote an excellent primer for peptides. This pretty much tells everything you need to know. Start with this section: A Brief Summary of Dosing and Administration...

These labs honestly know when the FDA is going to make inspections. How do they ignore serious issues like this and not fix them beforehand. We absolutely have to trrust these companies we use as this shit is injected. No excuse for a pharmaceutical lab to be so careless. As I said, most...

10 mL vials of testosterone cypionate seem to be in short supply or back-ordered, meaning patients may be offered 1 mL vials instead, which are more expensive. Seems there have been some voluntary recalls and quality issues affecting certain lots of testosterone cypionate injectable products...

You also have to add what % of the population is armed to the teeth. The United States has the highest number of guns per capita, with an estimated 120.5 guns for every 100 individuals, making it the country with the most firearms in civilian hands. Yemen ranks second with 52.8 guns per 100...

They come, and they go, but most of them go quickly. Even the ones that stay, I see very few that are consistently there Mon-Fri.

This type of training has been around for quite a while on the internet. In the past, they called it HIT popularized in the 1970s by Arthur Jones, the founder of Nautilus. What we saw over time was that no one was really getting the great results they promised. Here is the conclusion from the...

My wife's mother lives in Buenos Aires. We used to travel there 1-2 times a year, but since this COVID mess, we stopped going. We chose not to get the clot shot, and you absolutely needed to have it at the time to get on a plane and enter Argentina. Not to mention the price of airline tickets...

Most "endocrinologists" put post menopausal women automatically on estrogen/progesterone. One did this to my wife, and she immediately experienced fluid retention, irregular bleeding, and premenstrual-like symptoms, including bloating and weight gain. She totally freaked out. So she started...

The problem I have is I have had to take Prilosec for maybe 40 years now. Prilosec can reduce the absorption of vitamin B12 from food, particularly from animal-derived dietary sources that contain protein-bound vitamin B12. Omeprazole (Prilosec) inhibits gastric acid production, which is...

I feel your pain. I have never had to deal with Alzheimer's until my mother started having dementia, she is 91 years old. She can't remember much, has hallucinations and paranoia. She lives 300 miles from us, so I am having to manage her life at a distance. I have 24-hour care for her right...

Sorry to hear this. Unfortunately, as we age, we start losing everyone around us. It is never easy. My wife and I have both lost our fathers, I lost my brother a few years ago and now my mother has end-stage dementia. My wife's mother is pretty much in the same shape. Yes, time heals...
