How much did I get up? Well, I am sure it is not much by the standards of this board. I guess I can say. I succeeded at 300 and failed catastrophically at 315. Of course in addition to what I consider bodybuilding lessons, I got a lesson in humility and pride. You can help solidify this...

Marky: Thanks. I am mostly not down. I was quite upset for about 30min (and not worried at all about the pain just about the recovery), but I don’t want that to be me so I have tried to not be down. The only thing that still makes me wince is remembering the pop and how my right side just...

I have no intention of doing 1 rep max lifts again. I wanted to show to myself and others what I could do. I don’t think 1 rep max lifts help much in building your body. I will not try to lift anything that I don’t think I can lift at least 3-5 times. I tore my pec trying to lift 15 lbs...

I really want to thank baby_dbol, haxedout, and Phreaky for their responses. This has been and will be a little difficult for me. I was really enjoying working out and getting bigger. The gym has been part of my life for 8-10 years, but it was only in the last 2 that I really got things...

I had started my cycle recovery just a day before my “accident.” Did you actually get medical advice to complete your post cycle regime, or did it just seem like the right thing. Thank you very much for the response.

I need some information. I just tore my peck. It is a partial tare. It hurts some. It makes a horrible noise when it tares, but currently I am mostly upset. I need to know what to do with my cycle recovery. So far the ER doc just said that steroids do not help recovery. I hope to have an...

I could really use some help. I am not sure if I should continue my HCG. I do intend to talk to the doctor, but I would like some other thoughts too.

From what I have read (a recent post by Fonz, a recent MM2k article, and other stuff). The fat loss mechanism for Bromocriptine may be a result of leptin levels not changing as a result of dieting like they normally would, but there is not convincing evidence. Supposedly this has something to...

Around what is Progestin and Progesterone: http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=206409&highlight=progestin+progesterone My interpretation of this discussion was that Progestins are hormones that bind to the PR receptor and have agonist type behavior. Progesterone as the...

I sure hope someone with a clue responds to this so my answer doesn’t stand as if I know anything at all, but my understanding… A progestin is just a hormone that has progestronegenic effects (Deca is considered a progestin. I think it has to do with the receptors it is able to attach to which...

This is really great info. I think you are suggesting that after an aromatizing steroid is used that Bromo or Caborgoline might be beneficial to HPTA recovery. I had never heard the Estrogen to prolactin link, but it sounds quite possible. I am fairly certain I have heard it suggested that...

I have seen others advice people who sounded like you that they were likely just paranoid. So that possiblely is your issue, but you will either need to decide that yourself or go to the doctor. I am fairly certain that I have seen a couple of posts where people claimed that they got Gyno from...

My understanding is that you would not want to take a 2.5mg pill as your first dose. Perhaps a quarter of a pill (.675mg) two times a day for a couple of days then half a pill (1.25mg) two times a day. Some say you don’t need to go all the way to 2.5mg / day, and most say you should start low...

I think it would be worth asking a doctor about. Wellbutrin is new enough there prolly have not been too many people on both of these drugs. Since both are supposed to increase Dopamine effects in the brain this could lead to an overdose effect. Much of the time 1+1 is less than 2, but...
