Stayed at a friends house last night and they parked like 3 inches away from the driver side so no one could steal anything, even though I took anything valuable out. I was impressed with their parking skills. I'm going up to the auto parts store again tomorrow because I've got a friend that works there that's gonna' help me, maybe. Fuck if I know what's gonna happen.

Hold the up button while kicking the area where the motor is. I know that sounds stupid, but dust can make a motor lock up, and this is a quick and easy way to unlock it.
Eh. Motor in the driver side window is shot. Gotta pick up a new one tomorrow and install it. The window saga continues!
Did jyms just cop to being a long time steroid user and it completely got glossed over?
I thought that too.
Steroids amongst body builders aren't as rare as you seem to think. I'd imagine it'd be even more common amongst guys who's career revolved around body building in any way shape or form such as personal trainers.Quote:

Not just a little better. A lot better
Everybody talks about how great they feel on different drugs or when their bodies pump up different neurotransmitters. Well, testosterone is among the best of that
I've always thought the Olympics would be much better if we allowed the use of drugs. Let's see how fast we can run/high we can jump etc without any restrictions.

I like nearly all animals, there's only wasps I really fucking hate. And yeah cats are way better than most, I can't deny that. But I can love a dog. I can't love a cat, I just like it. I don't think I can cry when a cat gets run over, I don't think I'd be as offended if I discovered Koreans were eating cats. They're awesome animals, just not quite as awesome as dogs. I actually become proper friends with a dog, wheras cats are just there.Quote:

I was chatting with a friend last night about eating animals, and we both agreed that in a desperate situation, dog would be the last food we would eat before human. Cats are in the same league as monkeys and dolphins.
Yeah man.Quote:

So with a heavy heart I'd kill an elephant to eat it if I had to.
Wasps are the only animal I can think of that I will gladly be cruel to. Mozzies I'll just kill quickly. Wasps I can play with. Singe its wings, flick it around the floor, that kind of stuff. Horrible little shits. What's the point of wasps? What do they do that bees don't?
On the subject of what you keep in your pockets, keep your phone out of your pants pockets if at all possible because a cell phone near your nuts has been shown to very distinctly decrease testosterone production.
Having my phone further away from my nuts directly decreases testical stimulation when I get a text message though.
Long time no. I have used a few times in the past for rehab purposes. maybe 5 times in my adult life for 12-16 weeks. I do know more about them than the average user though. I have advised quite a few people before and during contest prep.Quote:

Compared to people who'd only use what's legally allowed like food supplements. Maybe my question's kinda vague but this guy I know got really buff rather quickly and he said he only used herbal stuff and supplements, I wonder if I should believe that.Quote:

Also, getting bigger and getting ripped are two different things. You can lean out and get to sub 10% BF and look way bigger because of the V taper. Perception isn't always drugs.

Well, I've never been much for working out but now past 30 I'm thinking I should take some better care of myself. I just have this idea in my head that it might be a lot of effort for almost no visible gains, unless you'd use steroids which I don't want to do.Quote:

Testing is just to make them look like they are trying.Quote:

Generally speaking, every normal sedentary male can put on 30 pounds of muscle. That may not sound like much, but it's quite a lot. It's the difference between looking average and looking jacked as fuck. For an avid trainer, it can take up to five years to get there. However, the gains are fastest in the earlier stagesQuote:

Do this: go to the gym twice a week. Get in the free weight room and do bench press, pulldowns, and squats. Use extremely light weights for your first session, so light that you barely feel you're getting a workout. Add a small amount of weight each subsequent workout. They should be getting harder and harder. If it's really easy, add 3-4 kilos for the next workout, if it's moderately hard, add 2 kilos, if it's really hard, add 1 kilo, if it's so hard you can't finish it or only barely can, add nothing. Over the weeks and months you'll feel the weight getting heavier but also your body getting stronger. You'll also notice you look more muscular
For each lift do something like 3 sets of 10 reps with 3 minute breaks between each set. Do a couple warm up sets before those (basically a few sets with lower reps and lower weight than your work set of 3x10). Do that for six months and you'll find that you're ten pounds heavier with five of that being just muscle (the rest is probably your muscles storing more water), you're about 20% stronger than you were before, and as long as you're not fat, you look like you have an athletic body
^^ BTW my numbers of 30 minute session and 3x10 of 3 lifts with 3 minute breaks and warmup sets doesn't add up. If you're doing that, it'll be closer to an hour. That's honestly probably better for most people, but it isn't necessary. I do full body workouts in 20 minutes. To get hard work sets in, my body needs very little warmup, so I just get heart rate and joints moving a little, then dive right into the work sets, and I tend to only use 1 minute breaks between them. This allows me to work just as hard with lower weights, which keeps me injury free and stressing my anaerobic endurance instead of just pure one-rep-max strength
Regardless, at this point for me, if I spend an hour working out a week, it's probably too much. When you work hard, your muscles and nervous system tires extremely fast. It's basically that tiring that is what creates gains as your body heals. You don't have to spend a lot of time working out. You just have to workout hard when you do
You guys and your muscles and your lifting of heavy stuffs.
I doubt it, you're fat.Quote:

Weight training is sort of the opposite of cardio in that the gains are made by resting. Your job in the gym is to fatigue your muscles. That doesn't take long at all. You can do it in just 30 seconds of balls to the wall straining. But your muscle growth and strength gains come only if you take enough time to rest after that. This means days and/or weeks
Compare these two pictures

It may be hard to see at first. GSP is in competition form in the first picture, and retired for a couple months in the latter. But he's definitely more muscular in the latter. How can that be? It's because while he was competing, he was training so much that it was hampering his muscle growth. Then he retires and he blows up. This happens with all sorts of athletes. Virtually anytime an athlete has to train a lot for their sport, they end up getting bigger within months after they quit training
It's counterintuitive, but muscles hate being overly stressed. They want to be stressed only just enough, then they will grow based on how much rest and calories they get
I'm fat because of what I eat. You don't burn that many calories with exerciseQuote:

Weight training to lose weight is a terrible idea. Your point is accurate if we were talking about other things, like swimming or basketball. You can do those for hours a day everyday and not overtrain
I put on a body T today for reference. Thank THE LAWD I CAN STILL ROCK THESE BOOYAH
If you think GSP is a natural athlete I got some news for you. I'm willing to bet most UFC fighters use some sort of AAS. Not all the time and not to get big, but the ability to train balls to the wall for 8 hours a day, recover from that training and heal injuries is not a trait that would be natural to almost anyone in the human race at this point in time.
I'm not going to get into a debate because I know what you meant when you said this, but weight training as a weight loss method is a great idea if that is what you want to do and are training in a way that causes weight loss. Cardio as a weight loss method is probably the worst idea.Quote:

I wasn't claiming GSP is natural. Virtually all top level athletes are on drugs. Of the handful of athletes who might not be on them, GSP could be one
I don't see much fat difference in the pics, and am looking specifically at the muscle differences.
Depends on what you mean. You can only do so much anaerobic exercise for weight loss, and it doesn't burn as many calories as we once thought (hoped). The one study that showed significantly elevated post-exercise burn from high intensity anaerobic training has not been able to be duplicated. If you're trying to burn calories without overtraining, you can do multiples more with aerobic training. But of course, the right method is to do both while having most of the work be from diet anywaysQuote:

That's funny, I just watched BSF again last week. Great doc. I remember when Smelly was posting on T-Nation and that came out. Forever ago
I think BSF is about as accurate as documentaries get. Steroids do have some side effects, but all drugs do. Steroids only cause health complications in very rare situations (like all drugs) or when abused (like all drugs). They have a lot of positive effects too. The research on their positive effects is greatly lacking because of the legal and cultural problems of studying them. I think it is clear they are applicable for all sorts of things, from AIDS to depression
It should be pointed out that they're illegal because they make people better. They're not much different than SSRIs and MAOIs. Testosterone is no less vital, physiologically and mentally important than serotonin and dopamine
triple chocolate frozen yogurt. so. much. yes.
Have you ever had to make weight for a sport? There's a bit more to it than diet lol.Quote:

Testing for them on the day of an event is a waste of time unless the athlete is an idiot (Ben Johnston) Nobody knows what or when people are using anymore, and it would take a page for me to explain how someone uses steroids to train before tested events and how they use PCT (Post cycle therapy) to reintroduce their own testosterone production again and to maintain what gains they have made. Testing is behind the drugs. When they first tested Lance Armstrong he passed the test, but low and behold now that they can test the invisible things they knew nothing about then he magically fails for blood doping/EPO?? Also as evidenced by the Balkan scandal in baseball, if not for some discoveries of the derivatives of steroids they were using they wouldn't have known what to look for in that type of testing they were using either.Quote:

There are 100,000's of men in North america on TRT/HRT testosterone dosages leading healthier lives now doing 100+mgs of test a week. Steroids aren't the problem, kids are the problem. Taking oral steroids without testosterone is bad, being under 21 and having almost equal to 1000's of mgs of natural test in your body already and taking more is a problem. Not doing proper post cycle therapies is almost the worst possible problem because people feel like shit and get major health issues and decide to stay on 365 is stupid.
