Madman, I am not sure yet why I bothered replying to anything you post.  After you showing your ignorance on women and testosterone I thought I had learned my lesson.

These studies are really cool, but I can promise you are no professional athletes that are wasting their time participating in any research studies.  It only takes time away from what they do to win.  I can assure you what researchers call "elite" the rest of us refer to as wannabes.   You keep believing in what your are reading.  In the real world I can assure you, things are much different.

I remember a professor of biomechanics who did an analysis on the sprint form of Usain Bolt.  The results, his trainer was told Usain had terrible form and would do better changing.  The trainer told him to get lost.  So here we go with another PhD who has never run a sprint in his life telling the world's all time fastest 200 meter sprinter that he is doing it wrong. What arrogance.  Why didn't he didn't taking the time to learn more about biomechanics and figure out why it is Usain gets the results he gets?  But like many in science, they think they know it all.  This is the kind of arrogance I see from people like YOU and this Phd in Canada.

Research is a creative and systematic work undertaken to increase the stock of knowledge.  Note the words INCREASE THE STOCK OF KNOWLEDGE?  Go tell you Canadian Phd friend that guys that I know who ARE professional bodybuilders laugh at people like him, as well as people like you who give advice and have absolutely no qualifications to do so.  Pal, you are just a moderator of this board, not an expert in anything.  I seems kind of odd you call these guys CLOWNS when most all the guys winning the Mr Olympia alone are taking home quite a lot of money for their work:

• Winner – Derek Lunsford – $400,000
• Second Place – Hadi Choopan – $150,000
• Third Place- Samson Dauda – $100,000
• Fourth Place – Brandon Curry – $40,000
• Fifth Place – Andrew Jacked – $35,000

How many other big paychecks do they get in a year to eventually get to the Olympia? Between supplement contracts, magazine contracts etc, most are making well over $1million/yr.   I can assure you that what you claim as well as your Canadian PhD are a joke to these guys who are actually doing what they do and winning.

While I never got paid at all, I know well how my career completely changed when I started eating more calories and more protein. I got that suggestion from the late Louis Simmons (not a Phd.) Never took more than 250mg of test enanthate.  But for a man who was in his late 40's, started out at 6'1" and weighted 150lbs, ending up being #1 in the 275's and #2 in the 308's in one year (2001) I was able to do what people like you and many PhD would say couldn't be done. I took 20 years of trial and error.   By the time people get to this level they have changed every variable as many times as they can be changed and found out what combination really works.  Its different for everyone.

I met Jay Cutler (4xOlympia) when he won the Nationals back in the 96's.  He turned pro and is now worth over $30 million dollars.  The guy was a working grunt before going pro, 28 years later he is retired and rolling in money.  Oh, still alive after the huge doses you say people can't live through.

The great thing about education Madman, is we are humbled to learn how much we really don't know.  You have closed eyes because you think you know it all.  Sad, because there is so much to learn in one life time.
