Different Does Not Equal Better
I had a brief Skype chat session this morning with one of my industry buds: Will Brink…we were talking about the latest research on creatine ethyl ester (not good), and then moved on to all the different forms of creatine there are on the market now. Just for fun, I combed through some supplement formulas and put together a little list…here it is: creatine monohydrate creatine pyruvate creatine taurinate creatine ethyl...
The Biggest Sucker
I was pushing my cart through the local Fred Meyer last night, when a display in the “health food” section hit my peripheral vision…a stack of cans with “The Biggest Loser Protein” emblazoned on the front.

So one of their reps posted a drawing superimposing osthole over testosterone on a bbing board to “prove” it “fits” androgen receptors.* There’s just (ahem!) a few problems with this argument… 1. Ligands...
Why I’m in a Bad Mood Today…
Because I sorta miss the “good old daze” when prohormones were legal. No – I’m not really “for” anabolics (or against them, for that matter…). But prior to the ban, at least there were reputable companies in the business, with decent quality control and cycle information. Potential users could make choices with eyes wide open. After the ban, “designer steroids” – which were...
