For sure he used 3.8 ius not 3.6 ius.
anyone involved in this sport with as much respect you afford one of us older participants deserves our attention, advice!
I passed two drug tests planning on doing the Universe in '09. I was employed (not contractual at that point) with Twinlabs and had the utmost respect for Steve Blechman and the family/company as a whole. I could not, would not fail a drug test as the Universe, thus, the peace-of-mind tests I passed leading up to that contest. it was a better title I thought given the international field, and the drug testing which was strict. So, that was the thought process behind my comment. I later decided a bird in the hand was worth two in the bush- took the pro card! I was actually talking into doing the North American by high ranking NPC persons a week out...hand not intention until those discussions.
protein intake...clean 1.3 pounds per lean bodyweight. cycling...I would ingest at minimum 1.5, if not more daily. When you read inserts (does the crap available today come with them, we had it good in our era), it quickly becomes evident that cycling is contingent upon sufficient, if not excessive protein intake as it increases protein utilization as one aspect of these components.
I will take lie dectector on fact I never went over 600 mgs weekly of any anabolic or androgenic compound. routinely, I stayed around 4-500 mgs per week. typically that is met with "hey, right" and that "talking to a used car salesman look". Believe me...that was it. GH- routinely stayed at 3.6 IU 5X per week. like most things, there is ALWAYS AN ONUS ON BIGGER, MORE, EXCESSIVE, FREAKIER, in anything. I attained a pro card at 264 in 1990, 25 pds more than any former amateur competitor with HEAVY, VERY HEAVY lifting, shoving in food all day long, every day, minimizing any extra energy towards anything else, focused on that one thing, and it worked even for a blocky, non-aesthetically blessed Long Islander. Most bodybuilders do not train heavy enough, stay in too low RM (rep range), do not TRY to get stronger, overtrain, under intensity.
Training with THE IRON BULL that entire year leading up to North Amerian, we did NO wuss exercises, and either you survive and GROW trianing with him, or not. and simply, we had so much fun training that way.
Eggs are great protein source...IF, you are not a Blood Type O (tganci.com...Todd brilliant on precontent blood type prepping which does work bigtime by the way). If not, great amino acid composition. almost perfect with several amino acid profile ratings ( PER, BV ). and they are inexpensive. Microwave them, submerge them in water in bowl, 9-10 mins if in a rush as most of us our in this life. Boil them on stove if not.
THANKS FOR THE NICE WELCOME! Good luck with the 300 lb goal. only got to 296, never made it.
