re: loading phase I've heard a number of both yay's & nay's on the loading phase. From my personal experience, I've gotten quicker results from loading-noticeable weight gain and size increase. But at the end of any loading or non loading cycle my total weight gain has generally been about the...

Any suggestions on whey powders or pre mixed drinks that AREN'T chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry? I've always put protein quality over taste, but I drink 3-4 shakes a day, and I'm willing to compromise a bit. I've been looking for the isopure pre mixed drinks, but having a helluva time finding em.

re throw that champion shit away...its an old skool protein powder that'll make you fat. Try cfm whey and dextrose mixed in lactose free milk.

re bubba- Metformin & Phenformin are type II diabetic drugs. I would take about 1500mg daily. Its not really something I'd reccomend to be honest. I always tried every new trick Duchaine came up with in the mid-late 90s...a true guinea pig. Cytomel IS effective, much more so than any of the...

re I still think Clenbuterol has been way overrated...I've always gotten better results w/ eca. My best results came with Cytomel, ECA, and Glucophage. I went from 12% bf to 6% (along w/ cardio & diet) and was incredibly hard and vascular-I even had veins in my ass.

re: milk Indeed it does...which is why a whey/casein or whey/casein/egg protein is the best choice prior to sleeping. I'd opt for an isolate whey (preferably cfm whey) NOT mixed in milk for your first shake of the day...you want fast digesting protein.

re: avant labs I haven't tried em, but you might ask Par Deus...I think he's tried a few of their products ;) My general impression is that they're a company equally as concerned with making effective products as they are with making a buck...a rarity in this business.

re: fhg43... Yep, DMSO would likely be a better carrier, and making a rub on solution would be more efficient than spraying. DMSO can be difficult for some people to get, though. I would think the aloe would be an excellent carrier (bengay, aspercreme and others should also work)...it works...

serum? I'll stick w/ micronized powder. Regardless of what the serum hype machine says, real world feedback seems to give a thumbs down to the serum.

re:isopure I, for one, am glad to see companies using the higher quality isolate wheys in their protein drinks. It's more costly, but it's superior to the whey concentrates that most companies use. If you have trouble with excessive bloatin' and shittin' after drinking whey shakes, the isolate...

re Granted, there's generally a huge markup in the price of supplements from the manufacturing/packaging costs to the end user. In an ideal world, we all wish a product that costs $5 to manufacture would sell for $10. Sorry it doesn't work that way fellas. Supplement manufacturers generally...

4ad I'd suggest that you break up the caps, mix em with alcohol (provided there isnt a bunch of filler in the caps) and apply it topically. Theres enough evidence to suggest that 4ad works better topically than orally. A few people have suggested that combining 4ad w/ 1ad and taking orally may...

re:yohimbine It DOES work as a topical spot reduction solution, and I state this as fact from real world trial and error results on myself and others. I've been experimenting w/ yohimbine for years. I can't give a yay or nay on the commercial products available, as most of my experimentation...

re: flax Benzi- I weigh 200 and take 2-3 tablespoons daily. At 145, I'd suggest 1.5-2 tablespoons daily. I usually toss a tablespoon or two in my protein drinks, either A.M. or post workout. I'd also take 1/2 or 1 tablespoon before bed.

protein powder I shoot for 140 g in 3 shakes...40 g whey isolate early in day, 60 g whey isolate/concentrate mix w/ maltodextrin post workout, 40 g whey or whey/casein/egg mix before bed.
