[Nicholas1]

LBM ?something body mass?

[kronik420]

Lean Body Mass

[kronik420]

Very informative but it doesn't talk about slow vs fast twitch muscle fibers slow is for bulking and fast is for cutting?

you don't need to worry about this..

[kronik420]

lets talk training, whats your usual routine like?

[Nicholas1]

Hmmmh most recently I would do 2 to 3 miles running 2 to 3 miles biking and like 10 laps swimming everyday I would do legs 3 days a week core 4 days a week chest and trics 3 to 4 times a week lats traps delts 2 times a week

lol wow.. thats alot..

what's your goal? that's alot of cardio, probably half the reason you find it hard to gain weight..

[Nicholas1]

I'm trying to cut BF% in half my goal is to weigh 190 by the time I'm 20 with a 5 % BF

[Nicholas1]

Will DHEA hurt natural test production?

Will DHEA hurt natural test production?

again, your body already produces enough of this...

[kronik420]

I'm trying to cut BF% in half my goal is to weigh 190 by the time I'm 20 with a 5 % BF

i don't think anyone can maintain 5%bf for longer than a week or so... it's just not healthy...

you'd look better being 200+ with 10%bf ish.. or so..

[Nicholas1]

Can you link a credible source for basic endocrinology ???

[Nicholas1]

Interesting what is the average bf% for jay cutler and Ronnie Coleman just curious like 15 to 20 they are big but they look like they have no bf at all?

[kronik420]

i can

The young and Steroids

[kronik420]

on stage, im not sure, but maybe 2-3%, but during the off season it's not uncommon for body builders to be 15-20+%bf

[Nicholas1]

Wow that seems incredibly low can you explain this term Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Testes does this have anything to do with the thyroid or pituitary gland?

google not working for you?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocrine_system

[Nicholas1]

No it's working hmmmh I read some of it on Wikipedia I would say I understand perhaps 10 percent of what I read I'm just having trouble grasping it thank you though

[kronik420]

yeah alot of it i don't really understand either.. it's just important that you know that you should allow your endocrine system to fully develop (around mid twenties) before you start using AAS..

[Nicholas1]

Fair enough... Are there any alternatives is there a supplement for IGF-1 I know about deer antler spray but that stuff is fake I am curious as if they sell raw IGF-1 or something what can I do to boost testosterone with out hurting my endrocine system?

[kronik420]

as for your training (when you do start again), i would suggest cut back a little on the cardio, and change your lifting routine to something like full body workouts Monday Wednesday Friday

[Nicholas1]

Like multi joint lifting squats deadlifts and power cleans?

[kronik420]

Like multi joint lifting squats deadlifts and power cleans?

yep, any compound exercises will do including:

squats, dead lifts, bench press, pull ups/chin ups, close grip bench press, dips, bent over rows, shoulder presses, etc..

[Nicholas1]

Interesting. Thank you

[kronik420]

Interesting. Thank you

What would you say for diet fats specifically mono unsaturated ?

[kronik420]

What would you say for diet fats specifically mono unsaturated ?

Monounsaturated fat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

id keep all your fats to about 20% of your daily calorie intake (and 40% for protein and carbs)

[frank13]

and remember to eat you turkey bacon

[Nicholas1]

I know you're trying to help but I can't understand any of that if I ask this general specific question can you answer, here it goes, will a massive amount of mono unsaturated fats help boost or spike natural test production ?

[Nicholas1]

Why what health benefits does turkey bacon have mr turkey bacon expert will turkey burgers do the trick or does it have to be bacon?

[kronik420]

I know you're trying to help but I can't understand any of that if I ask this general specific question can you answer, here it goes, will a massive amount of mono unsaturated fats help boost or spike natural test production ?

no..

things like red meat will tho..

and lifting

[Nicholas1]

Interesting I always was under the impression red meat was bad for the heart... Thanks guys

[Nicholas1]

Have you guys heard of muscle factor x, thoughts? Just curious.

[kronik420]

limit to one meal/day and you shouldn't have a problem

try to eat a wide variety of foods every day, including beef (or other red meats), fish, chicken, eggs, fruit + veg, and drink plenty of water..

[kronik420]

Have you guys heard of muscle factor x, thoughts? Just curious.

nope..

as before, don't waste your $$$ on supps.... you don't need them...

[Nicholas1]

Are raw eggs ok?

[kronik420]

Are raw eggs ok?

it's better if you cook them..

pasteurized egg whites (kind you find in the frozen section in the supermarket) are safe to eat/drink raw..

[kronik420]

kronik's mass gainer protein shake

[Nicholas1]

Kk thanks take care and goodnight
