I saw an orthopedic doctor today. The problem is called "drop foot", and is caused by damage to the peroneal nerve. I have to get electrical treatment, along with a foot brace and a stretching regimine. I was wrong for thinking this was muscular.

Please show me where I defended 1fast400. I simply said that I think 1fast400 was probably right about the pf situation. It was opinion based on my experience with pf and what others have said. If I keep having to clarify the obvious post, I will have enough posts to have credibility on this...

My first post explained my problems with proteinfactory, which occurred last summer. I didn't hear about 1fast400's assay of pf until the lawsuit was filed. I couldn't care less about the claims at this point; I have already had first-hand problems with pf. I have since stuck with various...

I didn't want to turn this thread into a discussion of NM's affiliations with proteinfactory. I think the major issue should be whether other people have experienced problems with proteinfactory's service and products. The consensus seems to be that about 25-50% of people on message boards...

I don't side with 1fast400. I simply believe that 1fast400 is correct about proteinfactory. The 6-oxo study is definitely suspicious (266% increase in testosterone??? and the study only involved 6 people...). Still, I have no faith in proteinfactory and will never do business with them again...

I've only used Allthewhey.com's unflavored isolate. It's great stuff. I use it in my PWO shake with grape gatorade, and it's excellent. I think Proteinfactory.com is a terrible, terrible company. I *do* believe 1fast400's study that proteinfactory.com's protein doesn't meet label claims...

I recently severely injured my lower leg and foot. A heavy object fell on the top of my foot, causing a hematoma on top of my foot, in my ankle, and through the muscle around the shin (the one that allows you to lift your foot upwards). After medical treatment, I have lost function of this...

Thanks for the support. My lower back was KILLING me yesterday. It was muscle soreness, nothing to be worried about. I'm thinking that I'll just slowly increase the squat and deadlift weights and not throw in good mornings. My lower back should catch up.

Good mornings it is!

I'm definitely thinking about separating the chest from the shoulder/back day. Any suggestions? Perhaps Back/Bis on Monday and Shoulders/Tris on Thursday instead? My diet is 2gm protein/lb, about 1.5gm carbs/lb and .5-1gm fat/lb. It's all clean food.

Thursday, July 17 Arms I've been eating like a horse and felt really good today. I'm definitely going to stick to this bulking diet -- it feels great knowing that I can go a lot heavier than I'm going this week. Closegrip Bench 135x5 145x5 145x5 145x5 145x5 Barbell Curls 75x5...

Sunday July 13 and Monday July 14 I appreciate the mods letting me have a journal here. I am going to be 100% honest about my stats. This will push me even harder. I'm still small, but I'm sure I'll improve quickly. Sunday July 13 Incline Bench: 135x5 155x5 155x5 155x5 1555x5 DB Press 50x9...

Long time lurker, first time poster. I just finished a stressful period of my life and can finally focus on adding some mass. I'm 5'10", 163lbs, 7% bf. So I'm lean, but just too damn skinny. The following is my split: Sunday -- Chest (Monday is when all the benches are full): Incline Bench...

Excellent diet. Looking great at 6wks out! I'm also curious if you're continuing with the 5x5.
