    Media Marketing "Healthy Foods" - The Myths Behind the Ads

    Is aspartame in low to medium levels actually proven to be toxic though? ive done a bit of research on it a while back and its fairly vague as far as studies and actual findings of it causing any long term health issues...

    Media Marketing "Healthy Foods" - The Myths Behind the Ads

    Only speed read through most of the replies so im probably going off on a tangent here but: The only food that i would consider to have a direct toxic effect on the body is processed sugars. People who consume high amounts of alcohol and neglect their diets arent exactly an overweight...

    Advice on Squats

    ^^ This is true BUT if you have muscular imbalances developed from poor form and lifting habits then correcting these imbalances and learning proper technique is important no matter what level of training your at. Some people cant squat correctly because they lack flexibility or mobility or...

    Media Marketing "Healthy Foods" - The Myths Behind the Ads

    Companies like KFC ( as much as the food tastes like crap and is pretty much the worst thing calorie wise available in fast food ) have got the right idea, they dont pretend to be healthy, they just advertise their good old high calorie foods and dont pretend and yet go into a food court at any...

    Advice on Squats

    Brick, I actually find GM`s and back extensions much easier to hold solid form than SLDL to be honest but thats just me. Box squats have taught me to break at the hips and sit back rather than break at the knees and squat down, I reckon for beginners box squatting is essential to learn proper...

    Advice on Squats

    Piss off the bitch pad on the bar, having the bar not gripping your back tight against your skin will cause it to roll forward and backwards giving you all sorts of dramas. Do you currently do good mornings and back extensions as part of your assistance? If not start doing them, high volume...

    Does a newbie need supps?

    Sounds like your quoting the BN thread from a while back. Mate i get what your saying and if it was some ebay protein company or some other newbie company selling "cheap" protein i wouldnt have commented on what you said but ON Gold standard is a staple protein in the industry, Optimum nutrition...

    Does a newbie need supps?

    Big call mate, i would probably trust Optimum Nutrition over most of the local companies as far as purity to be honest... There is certainly nothing vile tasting about it, and overpriced is another big call

    Why are you STILL doing low volume training?

    Anyone who is already putting up 140/100/180 at under 100kg BW is not going to see a 20kg increase in their 1RM in such a short time frame from simply increasing volume. I dont know how freakish some peoples genetics are but if i can gain 20kg on my squat in a year im pretty stoked! When you...

    blood results. good or bad?

    Doctors wont test for androgens unless requested or there are symptoms of low test or prostate issues etc. Im sure most GP`s wouldnt have an issue with running tests for androgens if you ask them to for your own reference or just as a general check up.

    Too much?

    All pros beginners program is an excellent program, it will allow you continual progression for a fairly long time if you follow it as written.

    Post workout supplements to aid muscle recovery

    To be really honest you dont even need the protein shake. Creatine and any vitamins that you may not be getting enough of in your diet ( zinc, vit D3, Vit C etc. ) are really all you need to actually supplement. If you eat the right macro breakdown and get sufficient protein intake everyday...

    How Low Can your T go?

    Go seek several GP`s opinions, i know its a pain in the arse but thats the only way mate. Ive got an appointment in QLD ( i live in the NT ) with a specialist that deals with this sort of stuff because my endo and GP had no idea but pretty much admitted that they didnt. Am going to be...

    How Low Can your T go?

    From what an endo told me it can vary by up to 30% either side of your "baseline" level. Sleep, diet, last time you busted one out, state of mind etc. can all affect it. If your levels are that low you definitely have something wrong though, go get another blood test done as it could have been...

    ACC wants three years' jail for supplying peptides or other PEDS

    You can blame the media for this as well as just about everything else that happens in this country that is stupid and outrageous... Once they get a hold of something you can be sure that some impossible idiotic outcome will result. It wont make no difference to anything, athletes have been on...

    Does anyone know of or can suggest a good HRT specialist or doctor?

    Hi guys, I have another thread in this section that i started when i first started going through the process of testing for testosterone deficiency, after 4 blood tests, MRI, fertility test etc. i have got the results that prove that i definitely have secondary hypogonadism but my current GP...
