Sorry to hear about your bad situations and weight fluctuations. There's plenty of positive and motivating people on here who can help you achieve your goals. Welcome and hopefully you'll stick around. :) Good luck!!

Glad to have been the one to help you. Mansplaining? Ooooooh riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight yes it's all making sense now. Now I completely get it. Oh, deary me. Yes I've heard of that, I think. I had to look it up and here we go: [video="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJyQpRfaGnw"]https://youtube.com/watch?v=TJyQpRfaGnw[/video]…

I'm sure you don't. PGF2A is an example you have already been told about

Hi - thanks again for response. I think that if anything, having elderly subjects with diminished GH production will provide a MUCH better study group. Normal IGF-1 blood levels for adults will be between 200 and 450 ng/ml. Since there is a 10 to 15 percent decrease each year after the age of thirty, the variation can be…

The OP had their question answered with the technique she was using for spot reduction. I mentioned about other ways to achieve it. The rest of it was spot reduction with compounds from other users. Still in keeping with the theme of spot reduction. In other words: "just leave it" is what you keep hinting at. - OK - try…

I completely agree with you. I did say that naturally it's not possible in my first response.

I think you have a valid point about mentioning that there are certain things: yes, I think that would have driven the discussion in that manner. You're right about that. But the amount of dismissive content far outweighed people looking and possibly discussing it like stealth, ninerbuff, theo166 (going to look into…

Sigh.... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22535969 "Metabolic slowing with massive weight loss despite preservation of fat-free mass." At baseline, participants were severely obese (× ± SD; body mass index 49.4 ± 9.4 kg/m(2)) with 49 ± 5% body fat. At wk 30, more than one third of initial body weight was lost (-38 ± 9%)…

True. Compound exercises for overall development. Do you do upright rows, yourself? Your opinion on behind the neck shoulder press, also?

Good luck no matter what you choose to do. Even if you just do bodyweight squats after your walk to get those quads going? Big difference when you wake up sore even from just those.

Welcome. Hope you like it there's plenty of motivating people here I'm sure you'll be staying this time. heh

Hi. Thanks for your response and for looking into this.. Makes a considerable change from..... well... GH: The reason why GH replacement therapy is given as an example with humans suffering from GHD or conditions such as Turner's or Prader Wills (sp) is that 90% of the research has been forcused towards tackling life…

Popularity contests was never my purpose. I like to discuss facts. This particular forum is general debating and discussions, is it not? I don't: virtue signal or have crowd behaviour attributes. I do however have a keen mind that is eager to discuss a particular topic which so happens to be this one that is on this…

Title of thread: Spot Reducing...This Should Be Interesting... Beginning with: "They say you cant do this...I say you can. I did it. " My first response: "There are certain compounds that will allow spot reduction and others that have been medically shown in studies to fight certain areas of fat. Naturally through diet and…

I beg to differ.

FOR THE RECORD: Define probably illegal with a doctor's precription when different countries have different requirements and protocols? In other words: that is also incorrect and don't go assuming that prescription medication is illegal. You are giving a negative connotation to a compound which is used medically for health…

1. Practical depending on which individual and which logistics? 2. Applicable as it is applied in many cases in medical settings for purposes of longevity, health, musculature, fat, etc 3. See points 1 and 2. OP had a question. OP got a response. You can keep talking about practicalities till the cows come home: it's all…

Look. Can we put this matter to rest because some poeple are making valid points on both sides. That 'genetic potential' thing had me laughing though considering steroids don't affect the 'genetic potential' limits. You can be nautral and reach a plateau that can be surpassed given new methods of training/diet/performance…

Rich Piana is my favourite natural athlete. KILL IT. One day you may. Gdammit! We're all gonna make it.

Turning empirical arguments into moralistic ones is the last refuge of a losing argument. People do it quite often in fitness/bodybuilding circles (PGF2A) both in transdermal and subcutaneous form. So no - we didn't clear anything up other than your insistence that you can't given numerous examples that you can. Strawman…

Hello. Yes thanks. You too. Live the dream.

LOL. Just LOL. I'm in the sweetener camp. Diet drinks all the way. Prefer Pepsi Max to Coke Zero, though. Mind you that new formula taste is a good improvement with the zero.

Hello + welcome. Plenty of motivation on here.

This. Each time is different.

All these are true and funny. Or people regurgitating and emptying their nose in the showers. People pissing in the showers or leaving skid marks all over the tiolets/not flushing properly. Just general dirty idiots.

Porridge with peanut butter! Every day Every single day!

Nonsense. You're a legend in your own mind! I look forward to the movie deal once you release the memoirs :)

Living the dream.
