Hey Pat,
what do you think of this: Give lyle 2-3 bottles of 1-AD.
Have him take 600-900 mg daily. If he gets some strength gains,
he'll pay you for it, publicly apologize to you and wear a bunny suit
for a week..
If he doesn't get anything from it, I'm sure you'll never hear the
end of it..
However, I think that Lyle would be pleasantly surprised at how well
1-AD works for strength increases.

Lyle,
with 1-AD there are no water gains whatsoever, but your
strength will go thru the roof within 2-3 weeks, at the dosage I mentioned.
I', sure that with your great analytical capabilities, you'll
be able to discern whether it's just a placebo effect or not.

Just try the damn thing.

thanks

Lyle does not want prohormones to work, and even if he did this (which
he would not) and it worked for him he would adamantly deny that the
stuff did anything.

But I tell you, looking at Lyle you can tell that his body is just
SCREAMING for androgen assistance and he would probably get huge gains.

Certain muscles of the upper body including the neck, traps, shoulders,
and pec muscles are especially dense with androgen receptors compared to
muscles elsewhere in the body. Therefore....

Well, it was not necessarily meant to be a joke or a shot at Lyle. It
was just based on objective observation of him. I would not be
surprised if androgens helped stabilize his mood either. He might go
from a bitchy girl type whiner to a more self assured and mature type
perhaps

If Pat won't pony up to my challenge, why should I give the first fuck
about yours or his? I have zero interest in taking anything that has
zero human safety data or any informaion on potential long term effects.
Just because you're too retarded to think about taht type of thing (and
Pat has no data).

My whole point all along is that proper nutrition and training can beat
anything Pat can bring to the table and I stand by that.

Just because he's too chickenshit to put his mouth to the test.
Pat's too greedy to give anything away free.
He'd just accuse me of claiming it didn't work, even if it did, so I
can't win either way.

Not that I wouldn't evaluate it objectively if I gave teh first fuck,
mind you, but Pat would never believe it and neither would you. MY bias
against his retarded-self is too obvious to all for anyone to believe
what I said one way or the other.

But I'm making just fine strength gains (10 lbs/week to bench, squat and
DL without a drop in reps) so I don't need any of Pat's magic fairy dust.

There are more data on DNP, but noone in their right minds would choose
that over 1-AD. Good judgement is a virtue. Pity you have none.

Correct me if my memory fails, but wasn't it you that hopped on DNP a few
years ago when DD and PA were first talking about it?

Unless it involves injecting himself with completely untested substances
in order to attempt to kill fat cells. Or is that not exactly what you
said you plan on doing in your post from two days ago Lily?

I would accuse you of claiming it didn't work even if it did? So you
admit you would lie about its effects? Clear your schizophrenic fucking

Adding.

CNS stimulants tend to do that and andrognes are potent CNS stimuluants.
ephedrine will increase strength by 5-10% with a single dose.
So I need not Pat's magic fairy dust.

Also, I'll be real curious to see how much of that newfound strnegth you

Because it's not a challenge. You are the one making unsubstantiated claims
about 1-AD's efficacy, without having even tried it. You know what that
makes you, right?

Also because this has nothing to do with the posedown. You're coming up with
excuses lyle, because you're afraid that it will work, and you'll have
to eat your words.

One word: DNP

: My whole point all along is that proper nutrition and training can beat


: anything Pat can bring to the table and I stand by that.

Are you saying that if you added 1-AD to your highly disciplened dieting
and training regiment, that it would have 0 effect?

You are very wrong on this one. Based on my experience, 800mg 1-AD/day gives
strength gains comparable to 800-900 mg of Deca/week. And all this without
the bloat. It is also powerful enough to retard any catabolic effects of T3.


: Just because he's too chickenshit to put his mouth to the test.


: Pat's too greedy to give anything away free.

I'm not. I'm ready to pay Ed Sturm to give you 3 bottles of 1-AD,
provided that you pay me if it works or return the bottles to me,
if it doesn't work for you.
You're a lot of things Lyle, but I beleve you're honest.

Hah, but you do give a "first fuck" Lyle. Otherwise you wouldn't say shit
about 1-AD. It's that simple. You've been giving Pat hell over 1-AD,
without objectively evaluating it. You used your immense knowledge
about steroids to claim that this is all "andro-goop", no more
effective than drinking sea-water. Do you see a problem with that?

: But I'm making just fine strength gains (10 lbs/week to bench, squat and

So you're up to what, benching 95 lbs? Did you ever think that
adding 1-AD to the mix, would help you *alot*? COme to think of it
does the possibility that you're wrong sometimes ever come to
mind?

You know I wish 1-AD was a powerful CNS stimulant, but it's not at all.
4AD gives a better CNS kick, but doesn't effect muscle anabolism as well
as 1-AD. And I've tried working out on Xenadrene, but strength gains on that
pale in comparison to 1-AD.

Strawman argument, Lyle and you know it. Unless proper precautions are taken

If this is true, and I think it is because I've seen Lyel mention having
extra DNP, this makes Lyle the biggest fucking hypocrite this group has ever
seen. How the hell can someone who has ever used DNP try to get a point
across about not wanting to use 1AD because it "might not" be safe.

Is this a joke?

So what have your gains been? Just curious. How do they compare to
your gains pre-1AD? What else about your traijning and/or diet did you
change when you went on the AD? Are you more attentive to your diet,
does knowing you're taking it make you train harder?

Shall I go on or do you get my point?

The gains stay if you taper off right. But the fact is that, frequently
the gains don't stay. So what IS the fucking point? With proper
training and nutrition, you keep the gains because you're not
artifically elevating them. But hey, you wanna piss money away on
something, it's not my place to convince you otherwise, it's your
fucking money.

Since I'm not planning on competing (outside of our informal
competition) for anyone but myself, I don't give the first fuck about a
few extra pounds on my frame or my bench. But I'm not the insecure type
of fuckwit that Pat sells his stuff to, the type who is willing to spend
any amount of time and money for 10 lbs on their bench or 3 lbs on their
body, knowing that they will never compete in the first place.

Tell, me, Sal, waht the fuck is the point of it? Is being big and
strong taht important to your ego for you to piss that type of money
away? Actually, I already know the answer: it is or you wouldn't be
defending your choice to adamantly.

But me, I'm motivated internally, I go to teh gym and train I watch my
diet adn come out knowing I did my best. As long as I can honestly say
that (and there are times when I can't, when I didn't watch my diet or
didn't put my effort into my workouts), I'm happy. The end results are
somewhat tangential because my ego isn't tied up in my bench or arm size
like most. It's the insecure fucks who think that big arms or a big
bench makes them a 'big man' who waste time and money on this type of
shit. Because wehether I'm big and strong or not, I'm still the same
person, my ego and beleif in myself isn't tied up in my appearance like
most fuckwit bodybuilders.

Nevermind that it's usually the folks taking this shit instead of
actually training hard, we've got a country full of lazy fucks who would
rather spend money on fairy dust (and emember I consider 99.9% of all
supplements to be fairy dust, I'm not just harshing on Pat except that
he won't let this go and I'm feeling vindictive) than actually apply effort.

Because putting effort to increase your bench is hard, taking fairy dust
is the easy way out. I consdier steroids the easy way out too, unless
you have a very specific reason (such as wanting to comepete in
bodybuilding) for doing so. But for the average fuck to do so, so he
can be big and strong or wahtever is retarded to me. But most people
are insecure little dimwits, especailly those who go into bodybuilding.

Yeah, sure, if you were going to compete in something, and teh gains in
size or strength from androshit made the difference between winning and
losing, I'd be all for it. Outside of that goal, what does it fucking
matter to you that your bench is up 20 lbs and your a little havier on
the scale? Seriously, does it make you feel better about yourself? Do
you think it impresses anyone but the types of superficial idiots too
dumb to realize that how big you are/how much you can bench means
NOTHING in the big scheme of things? I assure you that the chicks who
are worth being with (i.e. not the superficial golddiggers that live at
most gyms) give far more of a fuck of who yo uare as a person than how
big your arms are. OF coures, if your goal is to fuck superficial
dumbshit chicks, get as big and huge as the fairy dust can get you.
It'll make you happy and I'm all about happiness.

Just reealize that's what you're doing and don't pretend otherwise.

> Sure. I plan on taking clomid and hcg after wards.

Lyle doesn't do prohormones. His choice, his reasons. I happen
not to agree with those reasons, but they're his. You'll find
that a lot of the time the gulf between those who define "natural"
as "it ain't illegal" and those who define "natural" as "milk,
meat, and squats, period" is a very big gulf indeed, philosophically
speaking.

Me, I'm of the "natural = legal" school. I wouldn't do well in
prison. No, wouldn't do well at all.

What were my reasons again, Steve?
Be curious to hear waht they are from someone else.
Not flaming, just curious what you think they are.
I'll absolutely tell you if they're right, but I'll equally tell you if

On a completely different note has anyone ever tried just taking one pill?
I'm a teenager so I'm not concidering taking 1-AD even though I'm 5"11 and
have stopped growing. But a couple weeks ago my curiosity got the better of
me so I took one pill with a meal. I gained alot of strength and my muscle
were hooooge, i mean i could REALLY tell the difference. About 4 days later
the effect was gone, wanting to test if it was some kind of placebo effect i
than took another pill about a week later, once again alot of muscle gain(i
could tell it wasn't bloating) even with a little workout. The effects once
again wore off in 4 days. And that has been my 1-ad experiance. Did i have a
strong reaction to 1-ad or is that normal?

It is physioloigically impossible to gain a lot of strength and muscle
in that short a time frame.

Unless pat's wrong and 1-AD is activating the androgen receptor and
causing lots of water weight gain. But he swears it can't, making it a
case (to me) of you seeing what you wanted to see.

Or the 1-AD increased glycogen storage or something in your muscle,
which isn't androgen mediated taht I know of (I haven't gotten that far
in my reading yet).

I knew a girl at the gym who took a little Laurabolin, like 100 mgs a week,
and her traps and shoulders got freakin' huge. She looked like a muscular

Dear Lyle: When you can only bench 135 lbs, it is easy to add 10 lbs per week
for a

Muscle, maybe, but the first time I tried the EC stack the effect was pretty
dramatic. Maybe I should add salt.

For that matter, when my GF creatine-loaded it worked PDQ.

I am not sure, but i think alot of the perceived stimulant effect from
androgens is associated with aromatazition in the CNS. I know that alot
of the libido stimulation is

Dear Lyle: The reason that you are putting down bodybuilders is because you will
never be one. Face it, you are doomed to a life of looking and acting very fenimine.

The reason that you try to act so tough on mfw is because you are a very weak and
insecure little wimp. You definitely have a severe case of "overcompensationitis"
regarding this issue. Sorry, I just remembered that you do not make threats, only
"promises". The only problem is that your promises are all empty.

Sure, women have 1/10th the testosterone of men (.25 mg produced daily
compared to 2.5-11 mg in men) so small amounts mean more and cause much
more drastic results. Increasing blood test by 2.5 mg may only double a
man's production but it is 10X what a woman normally makes.

Also, upper body (traps, delts) have a higher concentration of androgen
receptors than lower down (you actually see a distribution starting high
in upper body and decreasing as it goes down typically, which is why if
you don't have calves, you ain't gonna have calves, for teh most part).

Yeah, 5-10% in the short term.

It's water, not real muscle. That was my point.

In a few days, you can't gain a 'hug eamount of muscle' at leats not if
you mean 'contractile muscle tissue'. YEah, shifts in water can be
massive (I"ve seen carb-ups put 10-17 lbs on folks in 3 days) but it's
not actual muscle. nothing that stays around anyhow.

Wanted to add, the companies of course, make sure that lifters don't
really know the difference between shifts in water (which shows up as
lean body mass) and actual gains in muscle. Kind of how most diet books
don't make the distinction between losing water, losing weight, and
losing fat.

But keeping your customers ignorant is a wonderful way for them not to
realize the scams you're selling them.

Not that I'm accusing anyone of doing that in this thread or anything,
nosireebob. Not in the bodybuilding industry, oh no. Certainly not
with certain subsets of products like creatine and most of the andro
products (nothing like a 10 lb water weight gain in 2 weeks to make
someone think your crap is working).

All a bunch of 100% honest folks there. Yeah, that's it.
Isn't it, Pat?

You have it here in print people. Steroids do not work because they
only make you retain water. Or is it that the gains from prohormones
are unique from real steroids because they involve ONLY water, while
with real steroids the gains involve actual muscle growth as well.

Lyle, would spot injection then be useless, or more potent since the

My gains on 1-AD are comparable to, if not better than when I did 800mg
deca per week. Before 1-AD, I could do 3 reps with 225 on the bench.
Immediately after that I would do incline bench press, but could, at best,
only do 4-5 reps with 185lbs. After 1-AD, I was able to do 9-10 @225lbs
on the bench press, followed by incline bp: 10 reps with 205lbs,
followed by 6 reps with 225LBS.i (actually I did more sets than that, but
I'm not counting the puny warmups)


: What else about your traijning and/or diet did you


: change when you went on the AD? Are you more attentive to your diet,

Actually I was dieting :). Before and after 1-AD. I changed nothing
with respect to my training. I actually got a little sloppy
and started going to the gym *less* often. And, while I do
get your point about the placebo effect, I was expecting that.
however I was not expecting it to works as well as 'real'
anabolics such as nandrolone. If 1-ad is just placebo,
then it's one hell of a placebo, giving me better
strength gains than deca. Can your seawater do that?

But! you must include 1-AD in that list, consistently.
Besides, aren't gains made during proper training and nutrition

How do you figure underused? Even at low testosterone concentrations,
the androgen receptors are typically saturated. So that's not the issue
at stake here. It's simply that a lower androgen receptor density in
that area means less of an anabolic response for any given amount of
testosterone or other drug taht works through teh androgen receptor.

What area are you talking about anyhow?
I assume calves but wanna make sure.

Hydration increases leverages by leaps and bounds so yes.
The controlled studies generally show no increase in 1RM with creatine
loading, which makes sense. OUtside of increased leverage, increasing
energy stores shouldn't increase 1RM. To do that you have to increase
muscle cross sectional area or neural drive, and creatine doesn't do either.
But hyperhydrate yourself and you get an effect. Folks be strong after
CKD type carb-ups.

Several years ago around the time that Lyle was collecting training /
dieting logs for the Ketogenic Diet, he was the first of us to try DNP for
fat loss. He took pretty good records of his actions and results. The
verdict: The stuff was miserable and worked marginally well at the doses he
was taking. An interesting little study. Nothing really bad came of it,
but how can you knock any product (1-AD) for unconfirmed safety reasons when
you're willing to try something that could (and is scientifically proven to
be able to) potentially push your body temp up to 110F and cook your brain?
A contradiction of sorts.

My own suspicions on the subject is that you've got a vague "tingly bad
feeling"
about anything that manipulates the "hormonal milieu" ($1 to you for
that
phrase, btw :). This explains why you're OK with doing ECA like a mad
speed-freak buzz-monkey (and I say that as a compliment, to be sure :).
One
other factor that I "suspect" but am less 100% sure about is the
posibility
that you've picked up a bit of "religion" from Stuart re: supplements.
I know you wrote (write?) for HG, and you've referred to Stuart as your
friend
more than once. That HG mindset, where "natural = milk, squats, and
sleep"
has to have wormed its way at least a little bit into your synapses over
the years you've been associated with the HG crowd.

Me, I spent the my 20's doing speed on a daily basis. Most people have a
wakeup
cuppa joe or a wakeup ciggie; I'd have a wakeup line. Have one right
before
bed time, for that matter, and still sleep (can you say "chronic adrenal
exhaustion"?). So from my perspective, there ain't much that folks like
PA
can cook up in their laboratories (must pronounce this "laBORRRatories"
to get
the proper eeevil effect) that I'm all that concerned about putting in
my
body. Especially given my n=1 assessment that the stuff "works", with
"works"
being defined in a number of ways for me (body repartitioning and
libido, prmarily).
Hence my position is, "natural = legal". I do know for a fact that,
while
I have no ethical or other qualms about AAS (except I don't like
needles), there's
that whole Class III felony thing. Don't fancy being someone's
girlfriend for
5 to 10 years.

So, are my theories re: your motivations even remotely close?

So if my wee wee little brain is grasping this science stuff correctly,
someone doing a cycle of, say, AAS, would expect to see more "results"

I'm by no means judging his decision. I totally agree with you. Hell, I
used to be a heavy smoker, but as when I found out that cigarettes didn't
really have 100% of your RDA for Vitamins A, B and D plus zinc, I kicked the

I don't think any rational person denies that prohormones (certainly, at
least
the 4-diols) meet 2 of the 3 criteria:

1. it is chemically a steroid (even my wife twigged to that one, and
started
referring to my "testosterone boosting supplement" as "that steroid
stuff you
take". ;)

2. Must convert to testosterone or nandrolone in the bloodstream.

Here's the kicker, the one that the jury is still out on:

3. is anabolic, causes muscle growth.

I honestly don't think EITHER side in this thing (the supp industry or
the Feds) want to discover that #3 is true. Because if that is found to
be true, then the Feds, under the law, MUST act and remove it from the
market. That, IMHO, is why no one is funding any serious studies to see
what HIGH doses of this stuff does in that area. And wisely so.

That's 95% of the battle. Certain supplements can play a role and can
be useful at the high end of sports. But I'm not an anti-supplement

Look at Arnold and the guys of his time period.

Huge upper body, shitty legs (except Platz). Thoise guys all squatted
like crazy and their legs still sucked.

Ask anyone who does even a short cycle of androgens, they shoulder

but it all goes away when they come off.

Jerry Brainum has an excellent article in the latest Ironman on
steroids. He looks at some recent studies, and yes it does show that
roids cause a disproportionate amount of hypertrophy in upper body areas

Also, Lyle McDonald should absolutely read Brainums article because
these studies blow some myths completely out of the water. Namely, that
steroids cause only water weight gain, and that the gain dissapears
after usage. On the contrary, the gains from cycles are MOSTLY pure
muscle, and much of these gains stick around to a large percentage for a
long time after cessation of usage.

And you CANNOT say that prohormones are different, because they
absolutely fall into the same category as anabolic androgenic steroids.
Gains from prohormones (and many people do get legitimate gains) will be
qualitatively the same as for the real thing.

So basically the evidence is CLEAR, that the gains you get from
prohormones are in large part muscle, and that you do NOT lose all of
these gains after you stop.

End of story Lyle, unless you can counter these studies and rational
conclusions with anything but hysteria, misconception, and prejudice
(which is all you have going for you in this particular argument)

Well, since the Bodyopus experience has been put on temporary hold (I'll
get one out there before too long), how about the first installment of my
DNP experience.

Now, before I start, a caveat: I am in no way endorsing the use of this
potentially deadly chemical to anybody. I used it because:
1. I'm a guinea pig
b. I'm fucking stupid and self-destructive right now over a recent
relationship that ended a week or two ago (it's a long ass story but
for 4 weeks I was dating an exotic dancer who's martial arts instructor,
bodybuilders, could stomp yours truly into the ground ex-boyfriend I
work with. Like I said, a long story)
c. I had some and didn't want to let it go to waste

DNP can fucking kill you. The side effects range from bad to worse.
Duchaine is suggesting combining it with insulin making this stack
potentially the most dangerous in the world of bodybuilding as either
chemical can kill you with one fuckup. DO NOT TAKE DNP LIGHTLY OR
AS A JOKE. If you have any doubts or concerns about taking it, do me
a favor, DON'T. This isn't a game.

Lyle has made it clear to me and others that he has BIG ambitions in the
supplement industry. He expects to develop supplements and get paid for
them. He is reportedly ready to "ink a deal" in his own words, with a
big supplement company.

Well I just can't fucking wait. Because if he ever comes out with some
product(s), you can be damn sure he will be subject to the same
criticism and attacks that he levels on me and my prohormones. We will
see just what human testing, toxicity testing, real world effects, etc
his stuff has behind it. If he thinks a supplement company is going to
invest, or can even afford to invest, in ANY of this expensive testing
shit for an unproven product he is in for a rude awakening. Oh he will
learn fast how the real world operates.

Of course, none of this will probably ever come to fruition because his
psychological instability will keep him from ever having a businessman
invest any trust in him. So he will probably just continue to be a mfw
troll, and little more, for the rest of his pathetic life

Muscle cells are multi-nucleic. The more you lift, the more nuclei the
cells develop to control the contraction of their new found size. When you
take steroids, the new nuclei don't always have time to develop. If you
stop taking the steroids in an incorrect fashion, the new nuclei never
develop and the cells shrink back to a size that is manageable by the nuclei
that they have. On the other hand if you stop lifting when you are huge and
you shrink to normal size, when you start lifting again, these nuclei are
already present, so you get big really quick (muscle memory). Steroids grow
muscle. Aromatization of steroids produces estrogen. Estrogen causes
edema. Edema goes away. Muscle stays if you keep working it out, eat a ton
of protein, and do something to counter estrogen rise / test drop upon
cessation of test supplementation. (BTW, I'm not telling you this Pat; you
already know. I'm reinforcing what you said).

I personally wouldn't.
But nobody can say for sure.
That's all I'm saying.

Because, unlike Pat, I'm not going to play a game where I extrapolate
one set of data (positive effects) from steroids to prohormones and not
extrapolate the other (safety profile). Can't have it both ways.

Knowing taht prohormones don't have anywhere close to the positive
effects of steroids (body comp, etc), it'd be totally unfair for me to
claim taht they have anywhere close to the same safety profile. They
may or they may not, without data, anything I'd say would be wrong.
And, unlike Pat, I won't make claims without at least some type of
reasonable human data.

That is, I won't play both sides against the middle. If prohormones
work as well as steroids, they likely have the same safety issues. If
thye don't (and they don't and we all fucking know it), it'd be bullshit
for me to claim that they have the same safety issues.

My point all along was simply that Pat has zero safety data either way,
and it's negligent as fuck to bring a product that is *supposedly*
affecting metabolism so strongly to market without it.

It's no less dangerous and I admitted it upfront.
My point, patrick, that you can't fucking understand, is that the ONLY
person I have the right to risk the health of is ME.

Not a fucking neighborhood cat, not a bunch of idiot bodybuilders.
ME.
So if anyone dies, it'll be me.

What myths Pat? I'm the first to agree that you can keep some of the
gains from long steroid cycles if you come off correctly. I totally
disagree with the belief that you lose ALL Teh gains.

It's the short term rapid gains that we both know are water.

I didn't even say that.
I do'nt know if it will work yet, I haven't made up my mind and have

Technically, I asked you to let me know how much of that newfound
strength you kept after you went off. But you can't seem to read a
simple sentence so what should I fucking expect?

Beyond that, you have to show me that they are giving you better
strenght gains beyond what you could get without them. Because that's
ultimately what's at issue: do they give you better gains than you could
get with proper trianing and nutrition?

Because, as we all know, most people in the US use supplements instead
of good training and nutrition because most of them don't konw how to
train or eat for optimal gains.

that may not describe you, Sal, I have no idea.
But it describes more folks than it doesn't and you know it as well as I.
So does Pat which is why he sells his stuff to ego driven bodybuilders.
A bunch of crap to artifically raise their lifts and LBM (only while
they're on) to cover up the fact taht they don't train or eat worth a shit.

>

And realize taht I feel the same way about all of those products under
most circumstances. I see no point in using them unless you have some
intention of competing. Unless you're ego is so poor taht the extra 10
lb of water retention makes you feel like a big man.

But that is just my feeling about it, what you waste your money on is
your fucking problem. I'd rather psend my money on porno and food
(becasue I know food improves my gains).

I said that I saw little point in using any product that provides
nothing but a bunch of short term gains *UNLESS* you intend to compete.
Because then it serves a purpose. If not, tell me what the extra few
pounds of size or 20 lbs on your bench really does.

How the fuck you got from that to bodybuilding is pointless is beyond
me. I think bodybuilding is a great activity. I personally see no
point in spending a ton of money a month on products that give you
nothing but small artificial gains in strength or mass.

Please learn to read or just killfile me or something. Christ on a stick.

As a final comment for those incapable of reading.

My comments about safety for Pat's prodcuts had to do with the LACK of
safety data, nothingm more nothing less. How folks turned this into
"Lyle doesn't take prohormones because they are dangerous" is beyond me
because I don't think I said that (if I did, fucking show me and I'll
admit I was wrong). That's not why I don't take them at all.

Pat has no safety data on his products. Not in humans using them for
long term (there is some limited short term data but not at the doses he
knows people are using).

It's negligent (and he knows it) to release anythign to the market
without it. Same as Cornholio with triax or usnic acid or whatever.
But Pat obviously doesn't care. Duchaine did the same thing, for which
I did not respect him. Releasing a product to the mass market without
safety data (or realizing taht the average dumbcfuck will use it
dangerously regardless of what you tell them) is negligent.

Fuck, believe me I know, I've done shit in the past where I made
recommendations (or didn't make strong enough recommendations against)
dietary patterns taht were potentially bad for folks. I regret doing it
and can only try not to do it again. Why nobody finds out about the fat
killer stuff until I've tested it on the one person who has a right to
get hurt: ME. And if it's not safe, I won't tell anybody about it
because I will NOT be responsible for someone getting sick (or dead)
because of my actions.

I've taken stuff that I knew was dangerous, and I'd do it again.
But only if I knew the risks ahead of time, and decided that the
potential benefits outweighed them.

Can you moronic motherfuckers follow what I'm saying here?

It's not an issue of me thinking Pat's products are dangerous or not.
They might not be, they might be, I have no idea and neither does Pat.
Which was my point in the first place, there is NO safety data either
way.

Even if they did have risks, IFF I felt that the benefits were still
greater, I'd use them.

But that was never my point anyway.

So can you all please learn to fucking read?
Or just killfile me or something.
Becaue I get tired of explaining what I consider fairly straightforward
English sentences over and over to people who are intent on reading my
words in the way that makes them the most upset.

Because if I meant to say "I don't take Pat's stuff because I think it's
dangerous", I assure you I woudl say that. I woudn't pussyfoot around
it and say "Pat has no safety data" and mean "I don't take it because."

christ, people today are just too dumb for me to even deal with sometimes.
basic reading comprehension is NOT that difficult but you idiots can't
even get that right.

No, that was not your point all along. Your point has vacillated wildly
every time you have been shot down in this argument. Just like the old
Bill Roberts style. But at least you are making *some* progress, so i

Easy Pat, it seems as if he's conveniently differentiating steroids
from pro-hormones. You just can't pin that guy on one argument...

Lyle says that he has no problem admitting he is wrong when he is
wrong. So if he says that the BS he has been spouting about prohormones
was wrong, then I will be happy to just stop antagonizing him. Cuz this

Bullshit. No one I know of who uses, some of whom know their shit, don't
deflate after stopping a heavy steroid cycle. I know this to be a fact
regardless of how many "studies" you can dig up to the contrary. But for the
hell of it let's have the references for these studies.

How much you wanna bet these studies were done un underweight men who got back
up to their natural weight and then managed to "maintain" that after going off
the juice?

What studies? Post references for god's sake. Or are these more of those

Mikey darling, I know numerous people who keep their gains. Of course there
is a bit of a rebound and some weight loss when ending a cycle but what is
lost is the water and bloat.

Just because you didn't keep your muscle (due in part because you have piss
poor genetics) doesn't mean that nobody else does.

This "Deflation" that you talk about is mostly due to water loss, and
not muscle. And I am also talking about relatively short term cycles
mike.

Now, people that you know who take large dosages for a year and
completely fuck their own systems up, naturally have a catastrophic
crash afterwards.

Da references are in the latest ironman at the end of Brainums article.

They were done on normal training men, that was the whole POINT of the

Mike, read the article before you react like this. I believe it because
it totally fits in with my experience with my first cycle, which was of
8 week duration and of moderate dosage. I got bigger and stronger and
basically kept my gains after my cycle. Now if you are talking about
subsequent usage for long periods of time and large dosages, now that is
soemthing else altogether. My mistake in not making that clear i guess

A web search found the following nonsense. Does anybody want to try

} removal of toxins, and faster delivery of O2 to the system

} Penta-hydrate contains molecularly modified pure water and oxygen,
} period. So the oxygen we add gets into your cells where it is used --
} and that's the idea.The addition of oxygen to our molecularly modified
} water creates a unique and highly stable solution of dissolved oxygen
} in water.

} The high osmotic drive and low surface tension of the H2O molecular

} does not need to expend excess energy to further break down the water
} into the easily absorbed tetrahedral clusters (as is necessary with

] Because of the structure of the water molecules-water consists of long

] only way to get that broccoli (or steak) into your body is one bite at

] easily absorbable into the body. However, these pentamers bind to
] other pentamers, again creating large molecules. A scientific

] molecules into water. What does this mean to you? In the simplest
] sense, the smaller molecules get into your body much more easily than
] the larger ones, allowing your system to make better use of water.

It seems rather bogus to me.
