I know yoga's really helped me with balance, flexibility and strength, and somewhat better defined muscles. But I'm wondering if any females here who are primarily bodybuilders (not looking for competition physique, just good shape and fitness) find that yoga hurts their overall goals or helps them?

It sure as hell doesn't look like much of a "machine".. I think if you use it, you supply most of the machine power. Found a bunch of references with the spelling Smith.. pix at link: http://newyorkbarbells.tv/smithgyms.html And photos/explanation of workouts using it here...

Thanks for the article.. that does it, I have *made* my decision about creatine! :P You may have saved me considerable trouble/effort.. really appreciate your having posted this.

Hey, while we're here... what do you notice from the dilute approach - sloshing a powder in water and drinking, say during a workout, vs. caps before? Really wondering not just about this supplement but others in that regard.

Can I ask what state you're in? Also, invaluable resource: the message boards at www.yestheyrefake.net ... lots of "i went to this doc and he was good" or "i went to this doc and he was bad" discussion.

Thank you again.. and yes, will be very careful (but appreciate the reminder). Have read a bunch of instructions and recommendations. I'm taking it in the morning on the rationale that some have mentioned that way you are not adding to the natural nighttime GH rise that happens. (So in theory...

Here's a think on DHA... gasp.. oh no, it's a CARB! :P ;) http://www.mystictan.com/dha/

OK, per a different lab tech who sounded informed, it is the 20 in insulin units that I'm supposed to be doing, and that's my doc's recommended starting dose for folks of my weight and gender. Supposedly the way they mix it it's just under what they call 1 unit of HGH (which would be 25 on my...

Wow - absent dietary changes you saw this on just too little sleep? Sounds like cortisol the stress hormone having at it (catabolic as hell from what I hear). I'm a night owl and had no problem (relatively speaking) with a night job that let out at sunup (and then I'd go right to bed). But my...

Shoot, I forget what the deal is with what's happening in a person's system that makes them wake up in the middle of the night. I have heard some people have had luck with a kinda new *time released* melatonin. I'd recommend a sublingual if you're going to try any type.. not sure if Source...

Thanks. I should elaborate (a little) on where I'm coming from w/this. I'm 99% sure the lab tech injected me w/20 units on the insulin syringe... then at home I read up on dosages, looked at all the markings on the insulin syringe and managed to introduce doubt into what was otherwise a blissful...

Thanks for the reminder - it's been in the fridge. :) Here's one Website's discussion of Saizen dosing: Dosage: 2 IU's a day for 5 days and take 2 days off. 20 units on insulin syringe = 1 IU 40 units on insulin syringe = 2 IU 60 units on insulin syringe = 3 IU...

Yes, it does... thanks. Looking forward to talking w/doc to get a better sense of his recommended dose details.. and why his lab didn't provide the whole kit.

Sorry to hear that - if nothing else, at least you learned your liver may be sensitive and so can take care of it/look out for it and be better off long term for that knowledge. BTW tons of regularly-prescribed and OTC things are hard on the liver.. good time to start reading up online and the...

1) If your doc pre-mixed your Saizen for you (as first-timer) should it be in the bacteriostatic water vial (not the HGH vial) or is something weird if all they gave you (and said they mixed it) was the bacteriostatic water vial and an otherwise empty Saizen box and directions insert? 2) What...
