So, Wes and Pellius what did you learn on that forum? Or did wearing an Elf cap suffice?
Big Cat explained the mechanism as to how NSAIDS inhibits muscle hypertrophy. Also, the difference in the inflammatory response from say an injury or a certain diet and the inflammatory response stimulated by anachardic acid. How one type of inflammation results in pain, stiffness and a host of other diseases, including cardiovascular disease, and another is necessary for muscle hypertrophy.
Not to credit one single person, but a host of contributors on a specific thread quoting both scientific studies as well as real world hands on experience, I was able to gain a much better understanding in the use of insulin and it's synergistic relationship to hgh. Why in the case of insulin, timing is critical and it makes a difference if you use insulin pre workout as opposed to post workout and why one is more effective than the other.
That there is a mechanical disadvantage inherent in the squat as oppose to a leg press type of equipment. If you divide the upper and lower body by the waist you will see that the lower half of your body is far more stable, having the biggest and sturdiest bones and fewer moving parts when compared to the upper half where there are a host of moving parts that go in various twisting directions and the bones are much smaller and more delicate and less stable. Therefore it would make more sense to have the resistance placed on your feet than on the top of your spine.
That the mechanism that HGH is used to enhance muscle hypertrophy (among the many other things that hgh does) is it's ability to be converted into igf which is done by the liver. And it varies how much hgh a person can covert into igf and there is an upper limit where the liver can convert only so much hgh into igf. When you get to Ramy and Phil Health level hgh is no longer enough to advance and you have to go straight to pharmaceutical grade igf which is very expensive and hard to get. This is quite different from the igf sold over the internet.
I could list more but CalvinH might get on this thread.
