why do i bother....
**Explain this to me cause I just don't understand it. First you say 3lbs(of fat mind you) in TWO DAYS, then you say 12lbs(could be lean and fat mass) in a week is bullshit? Doesn't make sense. Besides that your first assumption is ridiculous. I take 400mg/day for a week and have NEVER seen an average loss of 1lb/day, of course that doesn't mean it isn't possible. In case you don't realize it DNP dosage is weight dependant. 200mg/day hardly causes me to break a sweat. **
Dan said he took 3 dosages of 200 mg powdered in 3 days w/ adipo for 7 days. Why do I say losing 12 lbs of ONLY fat is bullshit. Well because the most he could lose with dnp is 4 lbs, plus an extra 1lb with adipo. Past this its lbm that he's losing. While some of the wait could be water, he will also be retaining some water from the dnp, so this is highly unlikely. HE DID NOT SAY HE TOOK 7 DOSES, READ THE POST
**Assumption #2: Seems like you're saying here that glycogen stores can be completely maintained while on DNP, since you can "hit the gym with full intensity on monday" after doing a whole 2 day cycle. Sorry, I'm pretty sure glycogen stores are fairly taxed despite being on a long or short cycle. **
When did i say this...In fact i implied the opposite, I said work your best bodypart on monday b/c you will not have the best of intensity. As a general rule, time on dnp = time off weights, which means by tues, if you are on AAS (such as tren) you will have a fairly decent intenstiy (Enough to build muscle). Will this intensity be the same as if u had never done dnp in the first place, obviously not, but no one claimed that.
**Assumption #3: "you can still gain muscle and lose fat while on a cycle (the goal that everyone has been looking for)"
I hope you weren't serious when you wrote this.

I hope you werent serious when you wrote this either. Just because you havent tried it doesnt mean it doesnt work. I'm not saying it does or doesnt, as I outlined, my theory was based on assumption and anecdotal evidence, as well as personal experience. However, just because you dont think its possible doesnt mean it isnt einstein.
**"shorter cycles such as these will obviously result in less sides, and better weight loss, also less water retention is likely"
Better weight loss??? Here's where I start screaming PROVE IT!
**
i borrowed Andy's idea on this and totally agree with him. You want me to prove it, well why dont you prove that longer cycles are better. Oh wait obviosly you cant because you dont have enough money to run valid medical tests. Everyone has there own theories, some work for some, others work for others, no one is saying that everyone can use the method i implied and have it work for them. But this is obvious for a genius like yourself.
And what proof do you have for your own theories? Various user expereicnes, web page info...hrm doesnt sound like its any different from my evidence.

Assumption #4: "glycogen stores will not be completly depleted, supplement with creatine on sunday/monday and your intenstiy should be back to normal"
Ok, glycogen stores may not be completely depleted but what makes you automatically think creatine supplementation will solve the problem of intensity? BTW weren't you the one who theorized that the anabolic rebound while coming off DNP is due to a bio-feedback loop that will cause more creatine to be produced by the body? If you believe this to be possible then why would you need to supp with creatine? Just take methionone like you suggested and one should be fine. Anyhoo Dan Duchaine still is the man. I'd like to see some more pearls of wisdom from ya bro.

Did i say creatine will solve the intensity problem I said it would help. My reasoning for this? Creatine will be depleted. Any addition of it im sure will at leastr be slightly helpful, thats just logic. I didnt theorize anything about dnp rebound was due to a biofeedback loop, i asked how creatine was regulated to see if it was a possible solution....its called speculation. Did I ever say this is why anabolic rebound effect occurs, I think not, i just wanted some background info.
I didnt say anything bad about Dan Duchaine. His info is good, but I think some of his aspects on dnp need to be revised. It not like his word is end all be all, a while ago people thought the diamond patter was the way to go, it was obviously ruled out.
I have my theories while others have theyrs. All I ask is to keep your mind open. I never expect anyone to follow what I say word for word, but to read it and take what they feel is valuable and apply it to themselves. If you dont agree with what I have to say thats fine, but give evidence and provide better suggestions. I'm not hear to argue about who has better ideas, I just try to help people with the small amount of knowledge I possess. From what everyone has said, your goal is to prove me wrong. You cant prove me wrong cause i doubt anyone on this board has any factual evidence on anything concerning dnp. Only shit that has been passed down as anecdotal evidence. So instead of bashing my posts why dont you recommend what you think is effective so people can combine what they think is effective from your experience and mine.
