That's some nice dipping :D The chain on the dip belt at my gym is too short so if I use more than 2 45s they crush my nuts. I once tried 3 45s and managed a very uncomfortable 6 reps. Nowadays I stick to 2 45s or 3 35s for more reps. Regardless, I gotta give props to your training partner...

You are quite right. I forget that my sense of humor can be hard to pick up on at times... what I meant was that it is my personal preference (and that of most of the medical community) that insulin dosages be stated in units rather than the abbreviated IU's. A lot of prescriptions for insulin...

Thanks for the encouragement, Rio :) I usually get so wrapped up in reading various threads that, before I know it, it's time for bed. Regarding the insulin... insulin is measured in units, not iu's.

Alright... I usually play the part of a silent observer, but tonight I feel obliged to put my two cents in. YOU'RE 19 YEARS OLD. You are at your sexual peak, meaning your body is naturally producing tons of test, yet you feel rushed to get your beach body so you negate your natural production...

HIT a myth? Not quite. I think your results from your high volume program are simply due to the change in routine. Just like any other program, HIT works for a while if placed correctly in your training regimen. Just don't stick to it for too long. I used HIT on and off for the past 2...

Hey all. I have to give a persuasive speech in one of my classes pretty soon, and I wanted to do it on some aspect of health, fitness, or exercise. If you have any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks. Jotun79

To Aurelius I was actually attempting to be sarcastic in my reply there, bud. It is physiologically impossible to pick and choose which part of the muscle fibers you want to activate during an exercise. Where did you hear that wide grip pullups activate only the edge of lat muscle fibers...

What the crap?! We can selectively activate certain fibers of our latissimus dorsi through hand placement variation now? When did this happen? Why was I not made aware of this earlier?

Thanks for your replies, guys! And for those who asked, it was only for one rep. My routine has varied throughout the years, but I stick mostly with HIT style routines, as they have given me the best results. I currently do only movements per bodypart, one set each. For days I work bench, my...

Thanks, Jowers! I'm 22, hovering around 230 @ 11%bf, and I've been lifting for 7 years now. I was 120 and benching 115 when I started lifting, so I've come a long way in the past 7 years!

Well, after being stuck at 385-390 for the past 4 months, I finally got a 400 pound bench today. I was probably good for a little more if I didn't have this nagging cough and congestion from a long-lasting cold, but I'm perfectly satisfied with 400 :D Anywho, just felt like sharing this...

Thank you, TxLonghorn! I, for one, do not need to see any studies to know that tren can cause gyno, but it would seem that others do. I was wondering when the other Fina board guys would jump in on this one! And Big Cat HH, again don't go assuming that we're idiots and purchased the wrong...

Whoah there, buddy! I made my own fina solutions from the pellets, so I can assure you that it's not fake. However, I also got gyno symptoms from using NOTHING BUT FINA at 75mg eod. I do not think I am an idiot, nor is anyone else who got gyno symptoms from homemade fina. Just because you do...

I'm drinking a penta pro shake right now, actually! Chocolate flavored and sweetened with Splenda. Tastes pretty good, and have seen good results so far with it. Penta Pro and the Post Training Formula are my favorite Protein Factory products. Good stuff if you ask me. Jotun79

I've used Ttokkyo's testanon 250 as well as Denkall's T400, and I personally think the testanon hurts a bit more. For the T400, my ass was painful and red for 5-6 days after a shot. And a bit of advice: don't do T400 quad shots unless you mix it with another less-painful AS! Unless of course...
