Salmon is definitely a great source for EPA and DHA. I just now noticed that my links don't really work and that there is no way apparently to link directly to the data tables I've been looking at. In case you don't have it, here is the link for the homepage of the USDA nutrient data base...

Personally, I'd vote for the sardines or trout on the basis of EPA and DHA content and orange roughy or trout for flavor. 1 can (92 g) of oil packed sardines (drained) contains almost 23 g protein, 435 mg EPA, 468 DHA, 250 IU vitamin D with only 99 IU vitamin A, and lots of calcium. Sardines...

boggy, In doing more research, I came across this site that contradicts the idea that 4 to 5 times the US RDA of vitamin D can be toxic. So you may actually be OK as far as vitamin D goes. How much vitamin D? How much vitamin A is in your multivitamin? I suspect that it's 5000 IU. If that...

boggy, According to the USDA nutrient database, cod liver oil contains 69 mg EPA (20:5 omega 3) per gram of oil and 110 mg of DHA (22:6 omega 3) per gram of oil. This would put your total intake at 621 mg EPA and 990 mg DHA. Since cod liver oil is very high in vitamins A and D, you would...

You generally only do dropsets during the 5s and the negatives if you do those. You should do a dropset as quickly as you can after your last set for a given exercise. In other words, no rest beyond what it takes to drop the weight to your 15 RM. The goal is to get the lactic acid burn and the...

I don't know anything about the products you mentioned, but you might want to take a look at this thread on weight loss products if that is your goal. Weight loss products that work.

Aaron, I was assuming the last on your list of possibilties, but the supplement companies sure know how to hype - promising increased protein synthesis, a "perpetual pump," and better bedroom performance. I keep hoping that one day another supplement will come along as effective as...

Jake's right. It's most likely the riboflavin (B-2).

Anyone have any opinions about or experience with arginine alpha-ketoglutarate? Thanks in advance.

2nd cycle results: (short cycle - skipped the 15's this time but I don't plan to skip them in the future) Numbers are compared to the end of my first cycle on 5/19/03. I'm 42, about 6' 2", 174 pounds. Weight: +3 pounds Waist: +1/8" (so not too much fatter :) ) Chest(flexed)...

I just finished my first cycle!! First of all, I'm a 42 year old ectomorph (6' 2" and 135 lbs when I graduated high school) who has always longed to be big and buff. I've been lifting weights off and on again since undergrad days. When I was in college I was making good gains but then...
