You're 5'7" I wouldn't say you're genetically wierd. Mine are about the same 13" flexed at 140lbs and 5'9" I'll bet your arms look bigger than mine with the 2" height difference. And with a 185 bench they're stronger than mine too so don't feel bad. My frame is so small that I actually look...

Well here is my theory with a little background first. About 12 years ago I was diagnosed with severe panic disorder, I was all over the map with medications for about a year and a half until I found my current doctor, he put me on clonzapam which is a benzo with a long half life and this...

What is HPTA? I agree about the promise thing, it was meant to be tongue in cheek. I also suspected that opinion of the 1-Test. On a similar note I may have found part of my problem right here on the board. I read in another post that testosterone and other steriods can reduce the effectiveness...

Thanks for the info, I'm taking Clonzapam which is a benzodiazepine so this is certainly beneficial knowledge for me to have. I take it for anxiety and even though I'm not taking any steriods now I have noticed an increase in my anxiety level over the past year. It would appear that just the...

Golden_Muscle, I'm not a bodybuilding mod, I'm a mod on a computer tech forum slight differnence I think. Anyway, your last post is actually helpful to me because you answered my question the first one didn't add anything to the converstation. You could of said "hey 11 monthes is not long enough...

I get it, don't take them yet and I won't but what I don't understand is why? I mean what difference does it make whether I do them now or later? And what about the 1-Test that I'm already taking I know it's just a precursor but I added weight and reps to every leg exercise last night should I...

Thanks guys! On the car question, you're in luck. I'm a Porsche fanatic. I've got a 1966 912 converted to a narrow body '73RSR with an '83SC motor and lot's of mods and I've got a '78 targa rolling chassis that I'm slowly restoring. My coworker has an '83 944 that we need to put a clutch in...

I have tried on and off since I was 17. Back then I was a competative cyclist and weights made me much stronger but never bigger. My legs are getting back to the strength they once were as I currently squat 225 and do 130 on the leg extension. I got serious about a year ago because for the first...

Well THAT was helpful! Let me explain something, I am a moderator on a computer related forum where I provide a lot of people with technical advice, I am very well respected because I NEVER jump newbies like you did to me here. Remember everyone including yourself was a newbie once and making...

One note on sodium though, don't let it get too low. I took my wife to the hospital with a high fever from the flu that's going around and they kept her overnight because her sodium was low. I asked the doctor what would cause this and he told me excessive water consumption combined with a low...

Whole milk here, I need all the weight I can get.

Here's a recent pic so you guys have an idea of my small frame. I've got a 29" waist and 38" chest.

Sounds great, I'll try it. Frankly the only reason for the milk was to increase the protein content of the shake. How about chasing the shake with gatorade? As for oils, I love oil and garlic pasta, would these complex carbs and oil be a good late night snack? Also having a 5yr old daughter...

Like I said the %fat was measured with one of those handheld deals that you place both thumbs on. Back when I was in my late teens/early 20's I raced bicycles and my bodyfat taken by a doctor was 6.5%. I'm nearly that cut now but about 25lbs heavier and an inch or so taller. Everyone says eat...

OK fair enough and thank you for the replies. I'll give you a little rundown of my current program and maybe you guys can tell me where I'm going wrong. But first one thing, I have a huge metabolism that makes it damn near impossible for me to put on weight. I tried working out and using protein...
