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...

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...

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...

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...

Looks at this statement that 1st appeared on their web site: The Smartest Exit in the Gray Market Let’s be direct about what likely happened here, because the industry commentary is dancing around it. Peptide Sciences built a business that, by all available e-commerce data, generated revenue...

Here are the glades of osteoarthritis: Kellgren-Lawrence Grading Scale for Knee Osteoarthritis Grade 0: No radiographic features of osteoarthritis. Joint space is normal, with no osteophytes or sclerosis. Grade 1: Doubtful joint space narrowing and possible osteophytic lipping (bone spurs)...

Being that exercise science is my profession, I do have to dispute the statement that DOMS s caused by microscopic muscle damage, is simply not really true. The underlying mechanism of DOMS is still genuinely not fully resolved scientifically. Microscopic muscle damage is just one of many...

Here is a good research study on this same subject: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ejsc.12074 Implications: The findings suggest that using cold water immersion after resistance training workouts may interfere with or blunt the muscle growth response typically seen with...

Seems Radius Health (2017-2020) initiated Phase 1 trials in September 2017 for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. After completing the trials, Radius divested RAD-140 to Ellipses Pharma, completing their exit from oncology. RAD-140 was NOT being developed for TRT (testosterone...

I have to question two of these claims. Do you really need increased amounts of caffeine to achieve the same athletic response? The answer seems to be NO. Your body does build tolerance to caffeine's general effects (alertness, jitters, etc.). This has nothing to do with performance...

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...
