    Understanding weight loss

    The way it works I guess is. If all you do is cardio and clothes fit you and the scale drops you've lost weight. Now if you do cardio and weights and shirts fit while the scale stays the same or increases you then lost weight and gained muscle, yes?

    Understanding weight loss

    Thanks for the pic. It is a good illustration of fat vs muscle. In my case my biceps for example are the same size as a year ago with the caliper the ab fat is the same yet my clothes fit better. I don't know!

    Understanding weight loss

    How come some people say they've lost 10 lbs but gained muscle when you can't really tell how many pounds you lost since the scale stays the same or possibly goes up with the muscle gains?

    Muscle and weight

    None taken. I lift at home. Nothing fancy as far as equipment. I bench 100 lbs 4 sets and use 20 pound dumbbells for curls and the bench bar for arms too. With the bar I curl usually 40 lbs. I do legs and shoulders too. I'm 45 and have bad shoulders so the up the weight more and more is a...

    Muscle and weight

    Thanks. For me my clothes fit better like I mentioned but the scale is usually 167 to 170 back and forth since the beginning and I've been lifting for 14 months. Am I suppose to weigh more if I'm gaining muscle?

    Muscle and weight

    I've been lifting for 14 months now. I'm not obese but overweight with a belly. What I want to in now is. Can I be gaining muscle that I currently do not see and that is why I'm losing weight? In other words I don't think I've really gained much muscle if any but I know I've lost because...

    Yeah but since you are a writer I figure you have heard of a bunch of stuff considering you have books out and all. I'll ask elsewhere for you to perhaps answer or maybe you don't know.

    Creatine: Everything You Need To Know

    I don't know really which is one is better as I've only taken the HCL one but there seems to be different opinions on this. Monohydrate has been more researched but apparently you get 60 % more from HCL since it draws more water from the gut...

    Creatine: Everything You Need To Know

    A scoop is 1gram. I will bump to 3 grams then. I currently take the HCL vs Monohydrate because I hear the Monohydrate is harder on the gut.

    Creatine: Everything You Need To Know

    Is 1 scoop a day good enough? Also to be clear you take it pre workout and on days off? Someone told me daily period but want to make sure since everyone does it different.

    Creatine: Everything You Need To Know

    If I take 2 scoops daily pre workout and on days off for a loading phase. How many days do I continue with 2 scoops before I can take less? It's expensive to begin with.

    How many MG is each pump of Androgel?

    With the cream my level has been 799 or so. Sometimes though I feel exhausted in the late afternoon. Is there a chance the levels significantly dropped by then? If the answer is yes. Won't you really feel the drop with shots since there is a gap in between the time you give the shots?

    How many MG is each pump of Androgel?

    I may switch from compounded cream to Androgel. Currently I do 4 clicks of the cream to get 200mg. If I use Androgel will I use it up quicker to get 200mg?

    What is the difference between compounded testosterone cream and compounded T gel ?

    I hate needles. I can't imagine being confined. Plus I hear with shots you have highs when given the shot and lows until your next shot. With creams it's consistent provided it absorbs.

    What is the difference between compounded testosterone cream and compounded T gel ?

    Yup so I then have to rub it off and what comes off is powder. I think I have no choice but use it and clean up the mess until I get labs done in 2 months. Then even if the results are great I need to try something less messy. I may try Empower next time.

    What is the difference between compounded testosterone cream and compounded T gel ?

    Well the pharmacy changed the cream for gel cream one. The issue is the gel dries and looks like dry ice on my skin. The recent cream is not pasty like the previous but dries and leaves white power behind. It's frustrating because they can't get the consistency right. It may be absorbing but...
