Thanks for the great advice guys. I have never used T3 or T4, and I'm not on any medications. I did the thyroid self-check, and I did not notice anything unusual when I swallowed. I did notice that I have an odd bump on my neck about a centimeter to the right of my Adam's apple.

In two weeks my pants have gone from fitting me fine around the waist to not fitting me at all. When this happened I checked my weight and I weighed 20 lbs more than I typically do. I don’t think I’ve changed anything in my eating, exercising or sleeping that could cause this. I’m not...

I am interested in using a sauna or steam room to eliminate some water retention. My bodyfat is already very low. What is the best schedule to follow for getting results from this? Thank you, cg

Some guys told me that tanning tightens up your skin and that it can improve your definition. I tried tanning for a few weeks and it seems to have that effect on me. The problem is that skin cancer runs in my family, and I don't think it's a good idea for me to do this long-term. Are there ways...

Hey guys, I'm a skinny runt who probably needs to add more size. Are there parts of my back that I need to improve while I'm working on adding overall mass? I'm not sure if my upper back is lagging behind the rest of my back, or if any other parts of my back are lagging behind. The more...

Hey guys, I'm working on learning how to carb deplete and load and there are a couple of questions that I've been unable to find clear-cut answers for so far. 1) How did you decide how many carbs to eat per day while depleting? Does anyone know of a formula or a rule of thumb for this...

My chest was lagging for a long time while I was only doing chest presses. I added flyes to my chest program and these seemed to greatly improve my outer chest. Now my chest looks better, but it seems like doing so many chest sets is causing my triceps to overtrain. I currently do 12 chest...

Thank you for the good advice.

Hey guys, I’ve done some research and tried a lot of different things and I’m still unsure what the best way to improve my obliques is. They seem to be too blocky and wide. I found some ideas on how to improve them, but I don’t know if any of them will solve this problem: 1) Could changing...

I never thought topical products worked, but recently I've been reading a ton of posts from people who tried them and said that they got great results from them. The one that I tried is called Dermazide. It does not have yohimbine, but it is a stimulant. I quit using it when I realized it was...

Does anyone know of a topical fat loss product that doesn't contain any stimulants or yohimbine? Spent most of the afternoon looking for one to use on my face and I was unable to find one that I was interested in. I've heard people say that topical fat loss products that contain stimulants do...

I guess I should have been clearer that I gained some fat, but not an extreme amount. Right now I'm slightly above a 33-inch waist and I'm unsure how to cut my body fat back down while holding onto the muscle mass I've gained. I did not gain the muscle easily. I consistently ate anywhere from...

Ecto interested in hiring a trainer for cutting body fat Hey guys, I’m looking into hiring a personal trainer who has experience working with ectomorphs to cut body fat. I’m aiming to go back to school and I’m too far behind on things to do more research on dialing in my diet and cardio for...

sgtslaughter, What you said made a lot of sense about training. I currently hit the compound movements hard, and lately I've felt like I might benefit from doing less on my biceps, triceps, and calves. Do you have a program or style of training that you recommend for the smaller muscle...

Hey guys, I’m still a skinny runt, but I’ve progressed to the point where I’m satisfied with some of my body parts and my overall mass. My two goals now are to cut the bodyfat I gained while bulking and to modify my workouts to improve my lagging body parts (biceps, triceps, calves). Is it...
