DHEA has long been purported to increase testosterone and muscle mass in bodybuilders but studies show that’s not the case. DHEA doesn’t have any effect on testosterone and will not increase gains from a resistance training program. A few studies do show mild cognitive benefits in older...

We all understand that coffee is the most consumed morning beverage by Americans. Most people can’t function before having their morning cup. However, most claim it’s the caffeine they need to get going whereas a new k-cup on the market is making you think about things from a...
This study compared one group consuming a diet using MCT oil with another group consuming a diet using LCT oil. The diets had the same caloric content and were designed to maintain bodyweight. The MCT group lost more weight and significantly more weight from fat than the LCT group! This is...

Why is it that cardio is always the hot topic of fitness discussion and seems to be the fix all solution to burning fat?
As we have all learned and I have written about in the past that cardio is not the fix all solution when it comes to body compositional changes anymore. New times have...

You've probably heard that training too much can get you injured. You've probably also heard that training too little makes you weaker and more likely to get injured. This is the injury paradox. Training can both protect from injury and cause injury.

Pretty interesting study about portion size and anabolism in both young people and the elderly. Researchers compared changes in muscle protein synthesis(MPS) and anabolic efficiency in response to a meal either containing 30g protein or 90g of protein, all from 90% lean beef. They study showed...

Testosterone Affects Bodyfat
by Michael Mooney
These studies show a clear association with low testosterone and increased fat inside the abdominal (stomach) cavity, and risk of Type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Doctor-prescribed testosterone replacement therapy reduces these...

Update: after 6 weeks at 100mcg/d, I had some blood work done to test my thyroid levels, including thyroid-stimulating hormone(TSH). My TSH levels were NOT suppressed while taking GC-1, just like the research suggests. This is huge as it may be a viable option for competitors...

💥Betaine is a compound commonly found in post-workout supplements for its ability to increase recovery. Betaine has been shown to reduce markers of inflammation, decrease cortisol & fatigue, and increase your training volume.

Taurine��

⭐️Interestingly enough, taurine has many benefits. It has been shown to hydrate muscle cells, reduce muscle fatigue, and increase muscle force by allowing more calcium into the cell to optimize a muscle contraction. Taurine also has been shown to reduce high amounts...
You might have seen the graphs on treadmills claiming you'll increase fat oxidation you keep your pulse relatively low when doing cardio. While there is evidence that the “fat burning zone” exists where you increase your fat oxidation (oxidation is the scientific term for “burning”), a higher...

In a perfect world, eating more food would directly correlate to more lean muscle mass. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. Except for those on steroids who are able to elevate protein synthesis around the clock, natural lifters need a moderate surplus to avoid gaining too much fat. What...

GW-501516
GW-501516, better known as Cardarine, is a unique medication officially classified as a PPAR receptor agonist (PPAR-RA). Research for this medication began in 1992 in a conjoined effort between GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Ligand Pharmaceuticals. Research into this product was set forth...
While volume is the main driver of muscle growth, it seems that not all reps are created equal. Reps closer to failure may be more effective at stimulating muscle growth for advanced lifters. Muscle growth specialist Brad Schoenfeld identified tension, metabolic stress and muscle damage as...

How Creatine Works and Why Even Advanced Bodybuilders Use It Alongside Anabolic Steroids
Layne Norton, PhD
Creatine can increase muscle strength, help you work harder for longer in the gym, and give you a bigger muscle pump. It’s also very safe, so there’s no reason not to add this...

Currently on a cycle and added igf1 a month ago and I have noticed an increase in the size of my testicles. They where pretty small do to current cycle. Anyone else ever notice this happening to them?
Clenbuterol*has been a favorite with bodybuildersand with general athletes for a very long time. Due to the high cost it has not really been used as a mainstream fat burner for a long time and Ephedrine based fat burners where far more popular.
All that has changed with the launch of Nomad’s...
