Dhea and Pregnenolone (especially Dhea) should be taken in very low doses. Sure, I get that. Thanks Here is are some interesting links on Androsterone, along with a pathway chart; http://anabolicapex.com/2017/02/11/androsterone/...

Wow, that is phenomenal weight gain! Yeowza!! So, coming back from vacation or whatever, you would be at an increased weight and then 2 weeks later you lose the gained weight? Those kind of weight swings would be noticeable to people, wouldn't it? Do people comment? This has me curious... If...

Thanks adpowah! I think the stuff I am trialing, is not off the shelf stuff. It is legal through a loop hole apparently. I am like you in limited knowledge, but the main thing for me was that it was legal and safe. Since being on it, I have noticed a real difference in energy, workout and...

I am not sure really... I have looked into it some. From what I can find out, they classify it as a steroid (a weaker one) that is supposed to be about 1/7th the strength of testosterone and safe. I am trialing it, but wondered if anyone else had any experience. Maybe now that Bryan is back, he...

Interesting... o_O No comments or shared experience with this?

Does anyone have any opinions on these substances in relation to bodybuilding and hypertrophy?

Can you paint a clearer picture of what you think this looks like Bryan?

Here is what I have been doing (after taking 3 months off to re-calibrate); Mondays - Rep range of 20-25 Wednesdays - Rep range of 12 Fridays - Rep range of 6-8 My workouts only last about 20 minutes and the exercises are rows, bench press, face pulls, tricep push downs, hammer curls and...

And we really look forward to your input Bryan! :)

I personally think that strategic deconditioning is critical. This year I took about 3 months off and consider it to be one of the best things I did. Surprisingly, I did not seem to lose all that much in muscle. I doubt that you need to take that much time off, but I am thinking regular 2 week...

For what it is worth... I did not agree with the entire TNation article either, but felt it was ok considering most of the main stream stuff that is written and published is totally geared up for people on anabolic substances. It was a nice change to see something a little more realistic for...

I didn't realize it was a recycled article. It was the first time that I saw it and was impressed to see something geared toward natural lifters.

https://www.t-nation.com/training/the-best-damn-workout-plan-for-natural-lifters In my opinion, not a bad article....

Something I have experimented with my recent routines and cycles is working out the standard 3 days a week ( with the 20-30 reps that Totentanz mentioned ) and then with the last 1-2 weeks before the week off, I will up both the volume and frequency with the last week being insane.

VERY roughly with no exact science. I have only ever operated on ball park figures as I have never wanted to get ultra low body fat. I have been in the game a while and do know what 20%, 15%, 10% etc all look like, so I tend to go by a near enough is good enough philosophy regarding this. I am...

Interesting stuff... There is definitely something going on when you start getting up there in weight. I tried out that FFMI calculator (not sure how much faith to put in it), but I am at around the 24 mark. They say that this is the very upper limits for a natural. Again, not sure what to think...

Fair enough, but I always hated cardio... I will try and work my way up a bit more.

Thanks guys! I am currently trialing jumping on the bike straight after my last set in the work out. My heart rate is already pumping from myo-repping and I feel that this is a good time for me to do some cardio. Again, I am not using cardio as a weight loss tool or anything. Just something to...

Here are my opinions; 1. Don't let anyone tell you that working out with dumbbells is useless. I worked out with a home gym and this was all I had for a number of years. I added size, I can assure you of this. 2. I used to follow the Max OT training model and it was all about pushing max weight...

I did some research and it seems that there is a fine line with too much cardio as well. Anyway... I think I am going to try adding cardio (via exercise bike) 3X a week right after a weight session. Reason is that I am more likely to do it and my body will already have an elevated heart rate...
