Do you mean "shin splints?" Yeah, I used to get them all the time doing sprints until a trainer showed me a good trick--tape your arches. Get some athletic tape (you don't need much), place the tape across the top of your foot and wrap it around TOWARD THE INSIDE of your foot. Wrap 1.5 to 2...

What are you talking about? Are you actually trying to make an association between the obesity epidemic and farmers that juice their cattle?! Good God, man. You do not need to be a nobel prize winner, genius--a handful of studies have already been done on exogenous hormone administration to...

Studies on sheep and cattle have both been done--I was referring to the one on cattle because it is more relevant. The purpose of THESE studies has nothing to do with human medicine, they have to do with bovine health for those in the veterinary field. Trenbolone implantation is very common...

The link that was given cites Heitzman RJ, Donaldson IA, Hart IC (1980). This study was done on heiffers and steers and is published in some vet journal I have never heard of--take this one with a grain of salt, fellas. I'd test this theory by getting blood work done mid-cycle.

Blocked biochemically?! So, if someone wakes you up in this state you will be temporarily paralyzed?! I'll believe this one when you cite your source. Bottom line, "a significant portion of the total daily growth hormone (GH) secretion is associated with deep non-REM sleep (NREMS)" (Obal F...

Best of luck with that, man. If I was to take IGF-1, I would take the short-acting IGF-1. I guess given the fact that IGF-1 activates cell proliferation and/or cell growth in so many different cell types would make me think before taking a long-acting version of IGF-1. Bottom line is we...

"Long R3 IGF-1 is significantly more potent than IGF-1. The enhanced potency is due to the decreased binding of Long R3 IGF-1 to all known IGF binding proteins. These binding proteins normally inhibit the biological actions of IGF's." This is incorrect--although one or two IGF binding proteins...

Stricltly IGF-1...From what I understand IGF-1 LR3 has a much longer half life, ~7 hrs. Is this what you're taking?

This is ridiculous. If you guys want to know about the effects of IGF-1, check out "www.pubmed.com" and enter "IGF-1" "skeletal muscle." This research has been going on for years. Locally injected IGF-1 has an extremely short half-life and putatively will not have systemic effects. As far...
