Ulter --
I got bogged down in all the legal issues resulting from my business partners ripping me and Isabella off for every dime we had, setting us back two years.
That has been the central reason that I have not been able to pursue my fitness goals with any consistency. I haven't wanted to tell sob stories on the board so I just stayed away for a bit...I want to keep my language here on point with regard to fitness and steroid use, rather than rambling about personal issues that are irrelevant.
BTW, I tried your oxycalm product. I will say that I noticed one thing: increased sex drive. I can't honestly say that it relaxed me or impacted my state of mind to any significant degree, but this must be considered in the context of my internal reference points as a recreational drug user. In other words, the oxy that impacts me noticably is oxycodone, and it is impossible for me to really assert that Oxycalm had any physiological effects that meet the criteria of a drug.
That being said, the increased sex drive alone is worth the price of admission for me, and I want to thank you for allowing me to test the product. I will be including that in my next order from your store, which should occur sometime this month.
As for the original thread starter -- someone mentioned the possibility of burning muscle if cardio is performed whilst in a catabolic state. I did find a study that showed that humans actually preserve muscle if high intensity exercise is pursued while in such a state. This occurs via a mechanism designed to prioritize muscle preservation over fat preservation during and after high intensity exercise, suggesting that the body is choosing to use the stored fat for what it must consider to be an emergency. This would make sense, as fat provides six times the energy per calorie than does muscle. I will look for the study and post it if I find it, but if a platinum member does a thorough search for the thread about morning cardio about three years ago midsummer, it can be found therein along with some very entertaining rhetoric from both sides of the camp.
