Depending on how low your carbs are you could have become borderline hypoglycemic. Three hours of basketball is a long time, you probably used up alot of your carb stores. I always feel like crap when I do a CKD, at least the first couple of days. The feeling should subside, if not then take...

I read it a couple days ago, good article. It was almost pro-steroids. I was quite surprised to see it in Men's Health. They went beyond the "shrunken nuts and bald, with a bad temper" stereotype of juicers. Provided real world cases of "normal" people using steroids.

Creatine does more than hydrate your muscle cells. Granted, the diuretic effect of caffeine will dehydrate you, but if you drink a little extra water (12 oz. for every cup of coffee) it should offset the diruetic effect. I don't believe there are any studies to prove that caffeine affects...

gmanlax7, the same thing goes on at my school (I am also an Elite informed college student). If I have learned anything from this site it is form and deadlifts. I was never taught deads, so I leaned about them on Elite, now they are the base of my training program along with squats...

! I am on day 2 of a CKD, in fact I just finished the Day 2, 45 min. empty stomach cardio. I actually feel OK, I suspect that after the leg workout tonight I will be "feelin' it." I hope this works out!

Some people report experiencing muscle cramps while supplementing with creatine. I am unaware of whether or not there have been any studies concluding this. It is not something that I would worry about, stretch thoroughly and keep an eye on it tomorrow.

I think the BFL program is good, as it has given many people a base to start off with. I thought the book was OK even though I already knew a lot of stuff in it. The most troubling thing was the push for Myoplex, and how "almost none of the BFL competitors would have won without it," that is B.S.

It makes sense to me because I am very much the same, only shorter (5'4"). I believe that the body builds muscle somewhat symetrically, meaning it won't let your upper body get enormous without working the lower body, and vice versa. That is why it is a waste to train your biceps alone (like...

5'4", 180 lbs. BF about 14%. Just finished a bulking cycle, starting cutting cycle soon. My high school nickname was "stumpy" because I have short, thick legs like tree trunks, even though my lifts aren't that high.

Most OTC sleeping pills will not provide the body with the quality sleep it needs. The OTC's will make you feel tired, and allow you to fall asleep, but they keep you in stage one and two of the sleep cycle. You want to be in stage three and four, which is REM sleep.

I once mentioned creatine to my doc, he had a spasm and lectured me about how it will "fry" my kidneys and my liver. I asked for the studies to prove it, and that was the end of that conversation. There are a lot of old-time traditional docs who are not familiar with many supplements.

I believe Cytodyne is currently under fire for their advertising. Their claims are pretty unbelievable. Anyway...I just don't trust that company, way too pricy for me.

Either Priest (except in the offseason, although I wish I could cut like he does), or Flex Wheeler.

I had ACL reconstruction a year ago on my left knee. It sucks because my left leg is still smaller than my right. Good Luck with your surgery, just think about all the percocet you will get post surgery. Good Luck!

My bro takes Adderall because he has ADHD. He is ripped as hell. He weighs 150 (solid), and benches 250. His appetite seems to be higher, and still gets skinnier.
