Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

Dem beats, have you heard of SARMs? Maybe from your involvement in powerlifting? If you have, do you have any input of knowledge of them? I ask because you seem to know quite a bit on the topic.

I do know quite a bit. They are not truely androgens but contact the androgen receptor. Dumbed down, for performance enhancement reasons, they can help build muscle without complele destroying your natural testosterone production.

The FDA hasn't put them in the androgen category yet so they are not illeagal in the same severity. Some people combine them with SERMS after they use strong drugs. They feel it helps them "keep their gains".

A SERM is used to block estrogen in the system from testosterone aromatizing in the body and converting to estrogen when testosterone levels get high. A SERM will only block the receptors so estrogen cannot get in so there is a high likelihood that you could have estrogen rebound after stopping the use of a SERM. Estrogen is what will cause men to get gyno and grow tits. Its better to run something like Aromasin in a heavy cycle. Aromasin is an aromatase inhibitor or (AI) and it actually reduces estrogen instead of just blocking it so you won't have to worry about estrogen rebound after stopping the AI as long as you stop using it roughly 2wks after a cycle as most testosterones that are used in a cycle have a half life of 2wks
I'm not going to run another cycle. SARMs require far less pct.

they still have the ability to shut you down just as bad as a true cycle though and that's the problem. Most people believe that since you can buy it over the counter that there is no harm to your body when in fact they can do WAY more damage. Damage to your liver, kidneys and if you don't do a proper pct your natural testosterone levels will never come back up and you'll be left feeling like shit Untill you get put on testosterone replacement therapy or (trt)

I prefer their smoke/black lenses. They have a more natural color pallets than their other color lenses. My current pair are Stone Crusher with black polarized polycarbonate lenses. I use them for work on a daily basis.

The ole lady uses Maui Jim prescription sunglasses also.

still legal to buy at the moment. Amazing gain and weight loss from what I have been reading. Sounds legit to me. Less side affects and a fraction of the price of my last gear cycle.
Not nearly the same awesome results. Not even 75% of the same. But yes, it works.
better than fed time...

You assume that they are legal. They are not. Just grey area on the exparamentals, and not felony in small quantities, but enought will get you in trouble.

If you consume any of them you are breaking the law.

That isn't entirely true, SERMS have other reasons to use and rebound isn't garunteed. No one on a heavy program would never be without SERMS ready to go. AI is helpful, but can do more damage if you overdo it.

I'm not going to discuss this more here though. I will PM but this isn't a good venue for this discussion. It's kind of like talking about the best way to cut your cola.

What does the cock lever do? In movies, why do they point the gun at someone's face and the cock the gun?

Because it's dramatic. If in a fucked up situation you would always carry hot.

If you screw up your feedback loop it's screwed up. Shut down is shut down. If you take enough to shut down your own production you are kind of missing the whole point of the product.

Sean, and any other fishermen, what Maui Jim are best for the boat? I'm going to buy a pair or 2.

One for boats and such and another to wear around for more fashion reasons. I want some thick aviators, green if possible.

The ole lady uses Maui Jim prescription sunglasses also.

Thanks. I will probably get one or 2 pair with glass for fishing, fashion, and driving, and maybe a third pair of poly ones for sports. I was thinking the smoke ones and then maybe the lowlight ones for sunrise and sunset when I am driving.

Winter glare is Fucking insane. I almost purchased mountain climbing shades to protect my eyes because of the brutal glare.

Depends on what you mean by for the boat.

If water penetration is your goal, dealing with glare, or just having enjoyable colors while boating. If it is the latter then you know my answer as you wore mine!

I have two pair. World Cups with grey and Island Time with bronze, both are thin glass. The World Cups worked great when I was in the islands and the sun was full blast. The Island Times are my daily wears.

If you don't remember, Bronze. The rest aren't necessary.

Even on bright winter days with NO clouds the Bronze take all the glare pain away. Sure Grey would reduce the light further, but you lose contrast which is critical in winter. In a perfect world of course I'd have about 10 pairs, but personally I choose to own only 2 and both are Bronze. One small wire rimmed for traveling and driving and a big ass pair to wear when subjected to a shit ton of son.

Coverage of the face is more important than lens cover when the sun is intense. Obviously a good lens is paramount, but if there is shit leaking in from everywhere it is worse than having too light of a lens.

The Bronze also makes everything look better and not more dull like the grey. Without serious sun the grey is way overkill IMO

Green supposedly can penetrate our water the best.

HCL Bronze. Once you wear them you won't like the Grey anymore.

For everyday the bronze is ideal, I wanted a pair of grey for the islands and working in the fields on bright hot days. I do like big lens though.
