Interesting read. I'm very interested in the degree of your arms while pressing, I've always kept my arms close to 90, but after reading this, I think I'll experiment tonight with a lesser degree.. since I hurt my shoulder doing the press..

Blah. After 12 weeks of 5x5, I gained 15 pounds and was a nice solid 200. my joints were aching, so I decided to take a week off. that week turned into a month of eating wrong, sporadic trips to the gym and all around tiredness and lack of ambition. This ever happen to anyone else? I think...

Most likely she might have gotten it from Merck Medco which handles some of the drugs overseas...

I think I might stop since my last three injuries didn't come from lifting, but from basketball :(

If you are taking a Whey based protein supplement you may be allergic to it If I take too much Whey in a give day, my back/face erupts into cystic acne.. not little zits like a teen, we're talking the 'before' picture for those acne products they sell at 2 am in the morning :) as soon as I...

I'm really competitive so it's really intense.. and I play 3-4X a week.. I have a feeling it's whyI feel so tired all the time... I'm trying to up my calories, but I just can't eat taht much.. ugh

Question: How severly would a lunchtime hoops game of ~45 minutes impact a 5x5 program? it's the only real cardio I get. It's sort of like sprinting (I'm a fast break running kind of player) just thinking.. it's outdoors and I sweat a great deal.. I try to get 2 gals of water a day...

in 12 weeks of deading it.. I've gone from a loose 34 to a fit 36 inch waist size. part of that is due to the bulknig adding a little bit o' gut.. but it is mostly due to back/oblique size T

Interesting.. but I can handle whey in small amounts.. it doesn't seem to affect me like when I was using whey as my primary protein source I suppose I can try.. and see what happens.. if I get sick and break out all over.. well.. time to try something else :)

I forget the source, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't have an impact. I read somewhere that the heat starts the protein chains unwinding, so it's actually somewhat easier to digest. but I could be pulling that out of my ass :P T

DD: yeah, there's a sugar free version.. only available in vanilla or chocolate.. it uses aspartame for sweetening and only has 12g total carbs.. not too bad.. pop an r-ALA when you take it, and you should be all set.

the problem is, I need it to meet my calorie goal of 2500. I'm currently running at 1800 with normal egg protein shakes.. but they give my digestive system a hard time (even with ginger root) so I wanted to concoct something in the 300-350 calorie range with moderate/low carbs and 50g protein...

Right.. so 500mcg it is :)

then again, there's the sugar free version of the instant breakfast that just has the malodextrin. hmmm..

just checked my bottle: 500mcg of Biotin in each capsule! :)
