2) I see in your journal that you take Cal/Mag supplements 3 times a day, how many mg's of Cal/Mag do you consume daily?
My target calcium was determined by my particular chemisty.
It is an optimum daily intake and is very high.
I actually only take the cal/mag 1x a day right now.
My total daily intake of calcium dietary and supplemental is what I look at.
I can not tell you what it is at the moment...
About 850/350 from Multi and Cal/mag...

3) What was the cause of you reaching "8/18/05 - 175lbs - 20%BF"? (Injury?)
I had a long period (years) of layoff from intense training and took a very long (90 days or so) Road trip!

I'll still do full body hypertrophy workouts around twice a week to conserve more muscle...
that is an essential if you want to keep your muscle..muscle burns fat..etc..

Depens on what you need really..I crunch the total nutrient content of my food intake and THEN decide what to supplement with to get it to optimal!
Next step is blood work..to fine tune it.
The bioactive substances in saw palmetto may actually interfere with the function of testosterone by blocking the androgenic and anabolic receptor sites of cells that testosterone needs to bind with to turn on cellular protein synthesis.
Tests using tissue samples revealed that substances in saw palmetto actually reduced the tissue uptake of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, which means saw palmetto bioactives blocked these anabolic hormones from entering cells, which is very anti-anabolic.
So, while saw palmetto is very useful and effective for people who have BPH, it should be avoided when people who are training to be super-anabolic.

Another Big question...
L-Arganine is an antioxidant, NO precursor, antioxidant recycler, vasodilator...
Because of the hocus-pocus approach most people here take to using NO precursors, I have to assume that people don't have a clear view of what L-Arganine really does as an antioxidant and NO precursor.
L-Arganine (4-6 grams) works even more powerfully when L-Citrulline (200-1000g), Vit C (500mg), Vit E (200iu), Folic Acid (400 - 800 mcg) and Alpha Lipoic Acid (10mg) per day are taken as well. Most of this is covered in your multivitamin or antioxidant.
Your diet can positively or adversley effect NO production.
Best times to take L-Arganine are pre bed or pre workout.
For a deeper understanding of its use and history you can read a very simple book by the doctor who won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovering the importance of Nitric Oxide to the cardiovascular system, Dr Ignarro:
No More Heart Disease

I've read it's a nitrix oxide precursor along with being a vasodilator and HGH increaser ( http://www.csmngt.com/larginine.htm ), however, hearing that it's an antioxidant too is news!
Thanks!
