Yep..keep things simple. Only add things in when gains get hard to come by.

How about the scrawny fag just OD'd from Opioids? No true to be real?
Fucking idiots...
Haha..I like you. Good post.

Awesome post Navy.

That sums it up.

I made a general introduction in the main introduction of this board. But also wanted to do one for perhaps those females that may only look at this topic forum on this board (please no offense males..i love everyone).
47yo female, 170# (125# lean muscle). Goal is to do a bodybuilding show on 3/30/18 in STL MO, the Midwest i think is what it is called. I want to enter into the Women's Physique division as i have been told that I would do good there. I just have a lot of bodyfat to purge lol.
Currently at 30 weeks out (as of this writing), just met with my diet coach and he wants to do a 24 week prep. So I will officially start prep on 10/15/17. I also work out with a local trainer. I love this trainer! She really pushes me and knows how much I can take and do, more so than me---as any good trainer does of course.
I belong to a few boards out there, but one thing that is either taboo to discuss or hard to get honest answers on are the topic of female bodybuilding and PED's (performance enhancing drugs). Just the little things that can take you to the next level ;)
So I like these forums because you can be anonymous and honest at the same time.
I have some experiences with some compounds that i would be happy to share to help others. I know and realize that my experiences may be completely different from person to person. Everyone is different and their bodies react differently to different compounds. Totally get it, and it is sooooo true.
I certainly respect others and their contributions, so i'm presently looking at this forum and combing through all of the posts in past history. I also don't want to post a question that has been posted before. And the vets are like do your search LOL.
Anyway, happy to be here and thank you admin for adding me and most importantly approving me! LOL
Happy Lifting...
Well there is not alot of taboo subjects here lol. Ask whatever. Good luck on the prep and keep us posted.

Welcome to AB. Great guys here.
-
-
Jesus..we just wanna lift and look good/ be strong. We aren't hurting people..leave us the fuck alone. Can't believe with all the "serious" drug problems out there..they still make time to fuck with us. It's not about juice..it's about the government not getting it's cut. So sick of this shit.
-
So lucky..my work gym is free..good hardcore stuff..and time I lift there is only me.
-
Always use it with GH and slin. I find it beneficial.
-
He's a big boy and has $$ .
Hopefully he pulls threw ok
Other boards saying he passed away.
-
Pretty sure he was being facicious to be fair guys.
No doubt..just fucking around. But he did respond to one of my recent posts in the VIP section with s total dick response...in the way I took it..like I am an inexperienced clown who expects the mods to protect us all from sources. That was not at all what my post was about. I had never disrespected him..ever. But he did me.. out of nowhere. I have been in this game longer than alot of members have been alive
I don't conduct myself that way..and I think VIP status sets the personal bar a little higher..at least here.
I don't appreciate it. You get what u give.

I've seen that physician talk about sub Q shots but IMO its, not the greatest idea. Muscle has vastly more blood circulation to pick up and carry the oils into the blood stream. The sub Q tissue is mostly fat tissue with far less blood circulation. Now if AAS was in a water/liquid form like say a test suspension then it may be ok to inject Sub-Q but injecting an oil is not a good idea. It boils down to people looking for an easy way out. Get the shots in the muscle or just use pills.
No need to discuss this any further because I know every fucking thing so you can just close the thread now that I have given my expert opinions....BITCH:)
If u know "every fucking thing" u probably shouldn't ask newb questions like "anyone know who makes blue hearts"..I mean holy fucking shit. One would think u could perform a simple search. U know how to use them there interwebs professor?... Sorry..but as a VIP u bring alot of negativity to alot of members here....in fact pretty much the majority of ur posts I have seen are that way. Kind of a douche. But anyway. Oh..and when u say muscle has "vastly more blood circulation"...the skin and SUB-Q tissue contain muscles located in the tunica media...but hell..I'm sure u already knew that. :confused:
-
I have done it both ways and had bloodwork. I tried the subq way in my second year of trt. There was no difference in numbers. Regardless of muscle or subq test is metabolized at almost the same rate. Its at least close enough that a standard blood test will no show the difference.
I know at least 4 or 5 people that have tried subq including my dad and numbers were the same. The comment does make sense the only reason numbers would be lower would be that the test isn't being absorbed. So if the numbers are lower what mechanism causes a subq injection to be less effective?
This isn't possible..Titan knows everything..u must be mistaken...didn't u see that lol?
-
After being involved in many Insulin trials where I work...the only difference was the SPEED of absorption ..not the amount. And I as well have done both with test and had bloods...zero change.
-
Pre-exhaust with fly or pec dec ... sounds like ur delt dominant.. that should help.
-
Hate to hear this..much the same for me..star to gain..then..shoulder tear.. blown disc..bicep tendon..then trap issue.. surgery for back..then knee injury
.another back surgery.. stabbed..I could go on..but bottom line..never give up...ever.
-
The intestines have LOTS of IGF receptors. Big gut culprit???. I believe so and would never use IGF..just my opinion.

Article from T-Nation, fun read especially since my two daughters crossfit and both have ABs.
The Truth About CrossFit Training, If You Can Handle It

The Female Lifting Revolution
Has anything advanced the case of female super-fitness more than CrossFit? That's a rhetorical question. The answer is obviously "no."
Today, more women are lifting weights, getting strong, and looking better than ever because of the popularity of CrossFit training. Bodybuilding couldn't pull it off, and even the popularity of "bodybuilding light" – Figure, bikini, etc. – hasn't drawn in modern women as much as CrossFit has. Love or hate CrossFit, these are the facts.
In the past I've referred to CrossFit as "the Scientology of fitness" among other unflattering references, but it's hard not to notice the legions of super-jacked, crazy-strong women that seem to be popping up all over the place.
Back in the late 80's when I was just starting my coaching career, a woman who could clean & jerk 135 was about as rare as seeing someone doing deadlifts at Planet Fitness. Today, however, women who can do "the king of lifts" using 200 pounds are a dime a dozen.
CrossFit Abs
Three decades ago, the only place you could see a six-pack on a woman was at a bodybuilding competition. Today, it's commonplace, and this is mostly due to CrossFit.
Looking Past CrossFit's Shortcomings
I can already hear the objections beginning to percolate in that brain of yours. You're thinking CrossFit is dangerous, they all use drugs, yada yada yada. But guess what? Just like the greatest athletes, pretty much all popular training systems get some things wrong, but end up succeeding anyway because they do so many other things right. There's no perfect program.
Let's look past the shortcomings of CrossFit in an effort to discover why it's producing so many goddamned insanely strong women who could out-lift the average guy during her warm-ups.
After watching the CrossFit phenomenon with interest for a number of years, I've isolated four primary reasons why you'd probably place dead last if you entered the women's division at the next CrossFit Regionals. (Oh, and you'd also have the worst abs too.)
Note: CrossFit men are no slouches either, and many of them could (and often do) fare quite well in Olympic lifting, powerlifting, and physique competitions. So don't get sidetracked by the focus on females – there's lots to learn here for all of us.
Deadlift
Reason 1 – Work Capacity
How many hours a week do you work out? For me, it's between 8-10 hours. That seems like a lot, but in my conversations with a number of CrossFit coaches and competitors, high-level CrossFit competitors train between 6-8 hours a day, at least when the CrossFit Games are coming up. That means they train about 4-5 times more than you do, and manage to recover from it as well.
What's that? You're concerned about overtraining? Hey, I totally get it, but as the years roll on, I find myself less and less concerned about this much-feared malady.
Remember that the key driver of muscle growth is training volume, which just means workloads. As long as your intensity is at or above about 60% of 1RM, the more work you do (and as long as you can recover from it, of course), the more adaptations you can make.
Look, I'm as amazed by the workloads of top CrossFit competitors as you are, but I chalk it up to the gradual evaporation of scientific ignorance. Some of you are too young to know this, but the IOC didn't allow women to compete in the marathon until the 1980's because it was widely assumed that "the weaker sex" wouldn't be able to tolerate the stresses of such long distances.
Today, less than three decades later, the women's world record is only 15 minutes slower than the men's. Oops, guess we were wrong, and maybe we're also wrong about how much work a resistance-trained athlete can do.
In related news, I know of trainers who think that if your workout goes past 60 minutes, your efforts will be nullified by a sudden shitstorm of catabolic hormones. This was "common knowledge" in gyms only a few decades ago, despite the fact that some pretty decent bodybuilders (like Arnold, for example) had apparently never caught wind of the idea.
Take Home Lesson: Maybe the problem isn't that you're doing too much work, maybe it's that you're not doing enough work.
CrossFit Workout
Reason 2 – Enforcement Of Progression
We all know that progressive overload is important, and listen, it's great that you're doing your best to add 5 pounds to the bar every week. In CrossFit, it's a little different.
Each WOD (workout of the day) is a group competition. WODs typically involve beating your best time for a specific workout, or trying to do more total work within a fixed timeframe. Either way, WOD's are total hell, and likely a lot more intense than YOUR typical workout.
I'm not suggesting that you should be puking your guts out after every (or any) workout, but many typical gym lifters lose track of the importance of progression and intensity somewhere along the way. Sure, we all try to beat our PR's when we can, but in CrossFit, there's usually a heightened sense of urgency about this subject.
In CrossFit, it's not like you go in to the gym and "see how I feel today." If you're in, you're ALL in. It's much more of a do or die scenario. Sure, there are some cons to go along with that pro, but it cannot be denied that the typical CrossFitter works hard and is always trying to work harder.
Take Home Lesson: Maybe you're not working as hard as you think.
Rings
Reason 3 – Novel, Unexpected Training Threats
If you've ever watched a legit CrossFit workout, you might have noticed that it's a bit different from what you're used to doing. You probably never do more than 5 reps on deadlifts, or 2-3 reps per set if you're doing Olympic lifts. And as everyone knows, "low reps are for bulk and high reps are for tone."
Okay, couldn't help myself with that one (sorry), but you probably do buy into the idea that the "sweet spot" for gains is roughly between 8-12 reps per set. Or, if you're trying to improve strength, you probably do between 1-5 reps per set. In addition, you probably lift during some workouts and do cardio on others. And you know what? Science more or less agrees with you on all this.
Thing is, CrossFit hasn't really gotten wind of these ideas as of yet, so they do things a little different. So if you wander into a CrossFit box just as they're about to start a WOD, you might see people doing one of the following:
The Filthy 50
50 box jumps to a 24-inch box
50 jumping pull-ups
50 kettlebell swings
50 walking lunge steps
50 knees to elbows
50 push presses with 45 pounds
50 back extensions
50 wallballs with a 20-pound ball
50 burpees
50 jump rope double-unders
Murph
One-mile run
100 pull-ups
200 push-ups
300 bodyweight squats
One-mile run
King Kong
Three rounds of:
455-pound deadlift
2 muscle-ups
3 squat cleans with 250 pounds
4 handstand push-ups
I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that you haven't done anything that even remotely resembles workouts like this. After all, at least at a quick glance, they seem to violate every known training principle ever conceived.
But as whacked as these workouts seem (and maybe are), they do offer a unique advantage: They impose threatening demands on the body that trigger homeostatic disruption.
In other words, your body is literally threatened by the extreme novelty of these workouts and begins to increase both muscle size and strength levels to protect itself against similar threats in the future.
At the core of this premise is the idea that novelty is a key feature of effective training, particularly for muscular hypertrophy. Think about it: If you needed to be sore tomorrow, what would you do today to create that soreness? Would you do something familiar, or something very unfamiliar?
Further, the more experienced you become, the more it is that novel training sessions grow in importance. After all, as a beginner, everything you do in the gym is novel, right? And of course you grow like a weed no matter what you do. Later on however, it becomes harder and harder to "shock" your system, even if you work hard, because the exercises you do are familiar, and you've already adapted to them.
Take Home Lesson: Consider (carefully) scaring the shit out of your body with novel, unexpected training challenges.
CF Lift
Reason 4 – Social Support
My final observation about why CrossFit seems to be effective for many people involves social pressure, er, I mean social support. We all know the value of having a motivated training partner. When you have a workout buddy, you can push and support each other to bigger and better performances, and a bit of friendly competition definitely helps you push hard when you otherwise might not.
Now multiply this effect by 15 or 20, which is what happens in a typical CrossFit environment. As you're about to start your WOD, as the large electronic timer mounted on the wall approaches 00:00:01, you and a bunch of other classmates are now involved in a highly charged athletic competition, not just a workout. It's competitive, it's intense, and you can't help but want to do as well as you can to save face.
Note also that at high levels of sport training, even in individual sports like weightlifting and wrestling, athletes train in team environments. Take a look at the famed Westside Barbell Club in Columbus, Ohio. Over the years, several noted strength experts have told me in confidence that they believe 90% of Westside's success stems from their highly intense team environment, and not the unusual training methodology they espouse.
Take Home Lesson: You'll train harder in a group environment. Consider finding one.
A Little Perspective
Sure, a lot of what CrossFit does seems (and probably is) flat-out stupid and dangerous, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. If you take the time to look a little deeper, there are hidden gems to be discovered.
And as a final thought, I'll remind you the very activity that we all know to be so valuable to health, performance, and sports preparation – resistance training – was almost universally considered to be a bad idea several decades ago.
Scientists, doctors, and sport coaches warned that lifting weights would stunt your growth, slow you down, and make you "muscle bound." We laugh at these notions today, but have you ever wondered what they'll be laughing at 50 years from now?
U know I love u man..but gotta say..I do more volume..I shrink. Period. I have done Mentzer/ Yates training for years and find it superior..for ME at least. We are all different.

the old testament is what I am most familiar with but i am very familiar with the cliff notes version of the new testament and the message within..
i dont think its a matter of disagreeing with the bible or arguing against it for me because that is unnecessary due to its very nature it cannot be taken seriously to begin with just as any other of mans numerous organized religions both past and present cannot be..if truth exists within its pages that truth has been manipulated and twisted perversely enough so has to have zero meaning for me. over its many transcriptions and edits and collations its contents have changed and been altered as the political motivations, beliefs and ideals of those that possessed it changed over time, This was easy to accomplish when 90% of the world was illiterate and relied on the powers that be to inform them of what plans god had for them..
So to answer your question more succinctly ..I do not think reading the source of what i disagree with in principle is necessary to dismiss it entirely..
There is a saying that goes: What you claim as truth in the absence of facts can in turn be dismissed just as easily without facts.
I... LOVE ....THIS .... POST! This is how I have always felt about organized religion.
