HSN Driver, which is primarly micellar casein, along with calcium caseinate, and egg albumen is the only commercial casein product I've seen that isn't half whey. Tastes great(When blended with milk it taste like a milkshake to me) and it even has some fish oil, and 4g of fiber(in the form of...

Not sure if you were addressing this to me or not. Anyways, if you're asking about the best way to do a straight strength test, I'm pretty clueless. If idea is due to the HST article, the idea is actually that due to the layoff your muscles will have become more susceptible to microtrauma so...

Best would be to take time completely off. Here, take a look at the following, which while tailored to HST(which is great) should still be of interest even if you don't train in this fashion: http://www.hypertrophy-specific.com/hst_artcls_stratdecon.html

For hair loss: nizoral shampoo. Should be a number of threads about it here. I don't believe, from what I understand, that minoxidil is going to be much use in preventing hair loss from 1-AD/1-test.

I seem to recall reading an abstract that said it actually might help with glycogen storage(Either iby itself or in conjunction with l-arginine; can't remember) So, that'd be cool. I could be misremembering, though.

Well, that's a pretty huge amount of ALA to be taking on a daily basis. It might lead to kidney stones, particularly if one is predisposed to them. Not sure if there's anything else. In terms of the fish oils, I don't think there have been any long-term studies on that high an intake, but...

It's called "German Body Composition" It's covered in 'The Poliquin Principles" You can probably find it online if you look around.

Again, I don't know where SSAlexSS got 102 sets, but the Poliquin One-Day Arm Cure comes out to 64 sets if you total them up. I did it myself about 1 year ago, following Poliquin's advice almost to the letter. [B] The article can be found at T-mag. Shouldn't be too difficult to find. [B] I...

It's just the misc.fitness.weights newsgroup. Probably the easiest way for you to get there to to go to google. Click on the tab that says 'groups' Then click on 'misc'. Then 'misc.fitness' Then 'misc.fitness.weights' You're there. Welcome to MFW: the world of vitriol and vendetta.

Here's what Lyle had to say about this on MFW:

Protein Factory's Recovery Formula. Tastes kinda crappy, though. Biotest's Surge is pretty much the same formula and it actually tastes really good, but is about twice as expensive.

Par has recommended stopping use of EC during refeeds in the past; not sure what his current position is. In contrast, Bryan has stated on the HST forum, as you've probably seen, that he has used EC while bulking with positive nutrient-partioning effects(He might be of a different opinion when...

Count Chocula gets my vote too. I go through a box each refeed.

Hey, at least he was squatting. He coulda been doing curls, ya know.
