    The Difference Between Gabapentin Vs Pregabalin

    Been using Gabapentin when the pain gets bad. Maybe once a week. It always works pretty well, except I am not functional the next day. I may ask my doctor to switch me to pregabalin

    Trump's visit to China

    Hope they lighten up on thesteroid raws, but from what I hear it is more of the Chinese government trying to extort more money out of those involved making and distributing the raws. Likemost governmentsthey need more money.

    Full-body Cooldown Practices to Speed Recovery

    Sorry, I have to critique, but this information for a bodybuilder is kind of useless. These fitness influencers know very little about what is good or not good for bodybuilders. Most of the recovery methods described—dynamic stretching, progressive muscle relaxation, contrast therapy, foam...

    How Tempo Training Powerlifting Improves Control Under Heavy Loads

    Louie Simmons criticized high-rep, slow training (similar to HIT), stating that "the better you are with reps, the worse you are with a single" and that slow training dissipates energy, leading to a loss of explosiveness. Exactly! My deadlift went up from the low 700's to an all-time of 800 by...

    What Motor Unit Recruitment Means for Heavy Lifting Performance

    My lifts started really taking off after I spent some time talking to Fred Hatfield about Compensatory Acceleration Training (CAT). This is a method where you intentionally try to accelerate the bar as hard as possible through the entire range of motion, even when the load is heavy. It was...

    MMA Fighter vs Bodybuilder: Can Size Beat Professional Fighting

    I spent years in martial arts training and have been in more real fights than I can remember. If all is equal, a big guy will always beat a smaller guy. If all things are equal, a much more muscular guy will beat one who is not. But just because you are a bodybuilder does not mean you have a...

    Lee Haney’s Approach to Symmetry and Balanced Growth

    I actually ran into Lee Haney when I worked in LA back in 1999. He was standing in line right next to us to get into a Chinese restaurant. Amazing guy!

    5 Exercises Both Weightlifters and Powerlifters Should Do Weekly

    Since I was actually a world-ranked powerlifter in the 275's and 308's I can tell you right off that static exercises like planks have no place in powerlifting. There is very little direct evidence that static exercises like planks transfer meaningfully to heavy full-ROM lifts like squats and...

    Thoughts on frag 172-191?

    Looks good in animal research, but I got nothing from it when I used it. Never heard anything good about it. At one time, there was a modified version of frag, AOD-9604 = a stabilized analog of this fragment. The clinical testing done was unimpressive, and it was eventually abandoned because...

    How Blood Sugar Levels Effect HGH

    HGH & Blood Sugar Understanding how exogenous Human Growth Hormone (HGH) interacts with blood glucose is critical if you want to optimize a hormone protocol. The relationship is more nuanced than most people realize, and misunderstanding it can cost you results. When people talk about HGH and...

    Neuroplasticity and strength training: what’s the connection?

    Good stuff here! Important.....in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), neuroplasticity is severely impaired: amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques and tau tangles disrupt synaptic function, trigger chronic inflammation and oxidative stress, reduce brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling, and cause...

    Peptide Science in Hot Water

    I saw today that Amino Asylum was operating under different names now. I guess they didn't learn after being raided. I stuck with UG, private boards and did just fine. I also sold most of the peptides I sold for $10 or less per vial. Hell, when I got them for around $1 a vial per 100 why...

    Peptide Science in Hot Water

    I started sourcing peptide way back when they 1st started being used. I got out because I got tired of looking over my shoulder all the time. I have said many times, this stuff need to remain underground. Yet I saw more and more peptide dealers advertising openly at BB and powerlifting meets...
