  1. Hello all, I am your board Physical Therapist, and i've contributed over the many years to helping with best advice and principles given for injury prevention, rehabilitation, facilitation, and referrals onwards to anyone who is in need of help or direction. Should you have an injury (as most of us do at some point) or a question about a potential injury, I kindly ask you that you create a new topic with some information in mind, stated below, that would help me help you as best as I can! 1) Nature of injury How did it happen? Was there a mechanism of injury or was it progressive onset? How long has this been going on for? 2) Describe your symptoms Constant? Comes and goes? Sharp/dull/ache/burning? Does it refer down your arms/legs? 3) Past history? Any relevant history of previous injury to that area? Familial history? 4) What makes it worse? What makes it better? Moving arm up over head? twisting? Washing your hair? Or how about adding ice and heat/hot tub makes it better? 5) Scans already done/in progress? Have you had an xray/ultrasound/MRI already done? How long ago? Do you have a copy of the report you could upload a pic so it can be read and understood and properly educated on? 6) Goals? Back to same lifting? Specific sport or hobby? Maybe you want to play guitar again and can't or play with your kids? 7) Medications? Current medications taking for this, or general health (heart, blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, etc). Knowing your cycle, if on, helps as well and for how long. Armed with this general information, it's much "easier" to help formulate a physical suggestive diagnosis and help guide you towards recovery. Kepe in mind, this does not replace visiting your local Physical Therapist and/or Medical Doctor, and if you need proper help with potential medication or other more extensive work done in a clinic you should ALWAYS do that. With that, let's all be happy and healthy and injury free!

  4. Hey guys, new to northern lifters but I’ve been around some of the other fitness forums for a while now. I’m recognizing a few guys from NM so hey ? Im 37 years old , been on trt for a couple years, been lifting for about 10 and own all of my own equipment in my garage. Im allergic to shellfish and hate caramel

  5. Heya. Red Bastard here. Used to post a lot on CJM, but I got kinda sick of the environment there. Found NM, and had already known Taurea fairly well, from other sites. I’m sorry to hear about what went down. I liked my interactions with him. Was very happy with the BT lineup. Had some shit in common. But, sucurity, and discression are too important to ignore. So, hello all!!

  6. What’s happening fellas! i see some familiar names around here, I followed a link I got from a friend to this place. Looks good. I haven’t got through it yet, figured an intro would be the proper start. so, I’m RigPig. As the name states I work the oilfield. Currently working in the US. I’ve been on NM, S.com and recently joined CB as well as NL. I’ve always run the same handle everywhere I’ve gone. Been on hiatus from the gym for a little while now. Haven’t run any gear for quite sometime. And that’s it in a nutshell. I’m off to explore this place now.

  7. I've probably got as much experience running stanolone as anybody. Great stuff. Big strength gains within a week.

  10. I remember signing up on the nexus on my 20th bday. Man was I a jackass back then. I can probably get ahold of BDH might take a while. He has a busyer life now, so I can see if he has time. Carl is apparently still kicking. He just avoids the boards now. I’m not sure if he even lifts anymore. If you remember he had serious heart problems years ago. Great physique on that guy. Flexy Idnk what he’s up to. Holi visits the boards occasionally also super busy. The one guy I wonder about is 454SS. We were pretty close at one time. I haven’t heard from him in years. I hope he’s ok. Someone said he may have passed away. I really hope not

  13. Ive read its oral absorbing is extremely low under 5% where injection is what we should be using. I just replaced 50mg proviron with 40mg stanolone this week, still to early to compare

  17. I'm a few weeks into a 100mg dose of Stanolone and love it. I started at 60mg and wasnt really sure but as soon as I bumped dose up to 100 (within 48 hours) I noticed a huge libido increase. I'm subject to male pattern baldness so i'm for sure going to save money on hair cuts haha. Guess I can put that towards transplants one day! Currently my liver and kidney values are in range and healthy just prior to starting so i will have them retested in a month or so as Ive heard this oral DHT can be hepatotoxic on liver and kidneys. For sure hard to find a lot of data on this drug especially the orally available aspect of it.

  21. Basic Information on Commonly-used Solvents: Benzyl Alcohol (BA): A fairly potent solvent, whose main function for our purposes is keeping a solution bacteriostatic. It's presence as low as 0.9% is enough to prevent practically all microbial growth in solution. Benzyl Benzoate (BB): A co-solvent that serves several functions: helps dissolve the hormone, helps keep it in solution in depot (injection site), and thins the gear so it is easy to draw and inject. Ethyl Oleate (EO): A relatively new solvent in the realm of bodybuilding, EO is Oleic Acid with an ethyl ester. EO is an excellent solvent for lipophilic compounds in injectable preparations. Its oxidative stability helps extend the shelf life of compounds, and its low viscosity provides for easy injections. What causes pain? Short answer: A complex interaction between the hormone/ester, the concentration of hormone in solution, and the solvents and ratios of solvents used. BA, itself: High enough levels of BA are sufficient to cause pain, per se. What level depends on the individual. 5% - perhaps, but perhaps not; 10% - most likely. I have heard some say that BA does not cause pain at all. I cannot agree. While I haven't yet injected straight BA just to gauge the pain, I did inject straight BA with IGF-1 LR3 back in the day, albeit in very small quantities. Just a few ius had a very decent bite to it. If you don't believe me, grab a syringe, pull a little BA, and go to town. The soreness can be impressive with even just a tiny amount of BA injected. Hormone Concentration & Crashing in Depot: There is another problem with BA, though - it is very water soluble. So much so, that once gear is injected, the BA will flee the solution and dissolve into aqueous fluids inside the body. What result? Depends. Let's assume for whatever reason, BA was your only solvent. What happens, most likely, is some of the hormone crashes in the depot, crystallizing in your muscle, causing irritation and near-crippling pain. The severity will depend on the hormone/ester and concentration (which affects the total amount of hormone crashed.) This is where BB, and other, newer solvents such as EO come in. These solvents are better at holding the hormone in solution in depot, thereby preventing a crash. You can see why a high BA % would correlate with a crash in depot: if BA is being utilized as a solvent, rather than just a bacteriostatic agent, there's a chance there's not enough other solvents to hold all of the hormone once injected and the BA has leeched out. But it may not have been the BA that caused the pain at all, you see?? It was the hormone crashing, and the cause of that was a poor recipe. Here's a guideline that I don't know 100% to be true, but in my experience, it has been. BA pain (caused by irritation from BA itself) may have a somewhat quicker onset, and fade more quickly than hormone pain. If you inject straight BA, you'll feel it immediately, it will do some tissue damage, and it will be out of the system relatively quickly. In an oil solution, it will not take effect as quickly, as it's still in the oil. As it leeches out, it does some tissue damage and causes some pain. On the other hand, I've never known hormone/ester pain to onset within 24 hours, and often it lingers for 48-72 hours as the crystals continue to irritate muscle fibers as they are slowly broken down. The distinction is a fuzzy line though, and probably will not give a conclusive answer in most cases as to the cause of injection pain. Bottom line: I think we tend to blame painful gear on BA too often. I personally do think that 10% BA is definitely high enough to cause a good amount of pain on it's own, though some have sworn it's painless. Others maintain that 4-5% BA will cause injection pain on its own. Just remember how many factors are at play here, and that will help you understand why there are so many conflicting opinions and theories on injection pain and ideal solvent ratios for different compounds and concentrations. I think it would be a mistake to try to finger just one of them as the culprit.
