I don't have a passport and was thinking of going to TJ while in San Diego for a few days. I guess you need a DL and a birth cert.. I don't have my birth cert handy.. What will they do if I try to cross the border with my DL? (I can't believe I have to say this, but I'm white, from the US...

Down regulation has extensively been shown to occur in vitro. Like I said before, however, it is hard to extrapolate what happens in cell culture to real life.

Do you stay on all year? Give us an idea of your cycle history

Look really good in those contest pics.. What is your cycle history like? How long have you been at this?

With all respect, this is simply not true.. There absolutely is androgen receptor down-regulation.. And where did you read that working out decreases your receptors (which, by the way, IS IN FACT down-regulation, something you just said doesn't happen :) ? Not meant to be a flame..

The evidence for up-regulation is shaky... The problem is that there is a limited number of ways to measure this.. It's hard to say anything really definitive about receptors and up-regulation or down-regulation because there of the lack of relevant studies. Most of what we are looking at are...

Let's see a contest pic

Looks like it is all there.. Do you have abs when you lean out? Where are you as far as weight now?

Everyone has body parts they perceive as 'lagging' as well as those they see as the strong muscle groups of their physique. What about catching lagging body parts up? What about proportion? I, for instance, have a 245lb BBer's set of traps on top of my 185lb frame... Really...

Wow.. that has to be a good 7-8yrs old! Still valid? I don't know! I'd have to re-read it!

Did you expect me to be this small? lol

I don't have the problems with it that other guys do.. But then again, that's at only 50mg EOD... We'll see what happens when I go higher

When I started 3-4 months ago I had even less muscle and a lot more fat. I basically started from scratch. I spent three months dieting and using TA at 50mg EOD. I was surprised to actually gain some size and strength even though I ate 1700 calories and did a shit load of cardio. My main...

Most of my interest and knowledge about the sport is in the relm of chemistry and pharmacology, and how it relates to BBIng. I know nothing about competing, symmetry, or you name it when it comes to this aspect of the sport. Since genetics play a big role in how your physique looks and...

Background: I trained and used mild amounts of Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) (nothing greater than 500mg/week of anything) for a couple of years. I never had much discipline with either training or diet. Later I pretty much fell off the wagon for several years-. I hadn’t touched an...
