    do you know where are the epiphyseal plates located in the mandible?

    sex hormones in the body have one main function. for reproduction. this is the same in male and females. estrogen and progesterone in women, and test in men.

    as a person grows older and past the reproductive age, sex hormones naturally decrease. menopause is a dramatic step down in female hormones, sudden and drastic. in men, if you believe in the andropause theory, it happens in a more gradual manner. but as a person gets older, the "set point" is gradually lowered. how? i dont know. maybe its just nature.

    in young men, the "set point" is much higher. the body wants to produce a lot of test, and like a high level of circulation test. this explains why some younger guys recover from a cycle much easier compared to an older guy. but if the guy is so young that the HPTA is not mature yet (this is my theory again), then the system can be confused and the set point can be incorrectly altered.

    for older guys, if the "set point" is already on its way down due to age, recovery from a cycle will be slower, because the set point is already low, the difference between set point and low post-cycle test is not steep.

    even in so-called matured HPTA, it doesn’t mean that the set point cannot be messed up. frequent and long cycles can still affect this set point. this is why guys who blast and cruise will likely need trt sometime in the future.

    Asiandude do you mind furthering your theory on the thermostat HPTA?
    (1)What do you think happens to decrease levels after cycles?
    (2)How does the body keep track with age?
    (3)Do you alter "hormonal age" with steroids?

    you mean these questions?

    I hope this is not leading up to an oral-only cycle.

    what i said is not based on science or research. its my way of thinking so as to understand the overall picture better. i think, in short, you can say its broscience…lol

    but this thermostat model can be used to explain many systems that work in our body.

    anexample, and the most appropriate one, is thermoregulation. how does our body keep a constant temperature even at very different environmental temp? because somewhere in our brain, there is a fixed point. in a cold environment, the body recognizes it needs to produce more heat or reduce heat loss. vasoconstriction happens in the skin and muscle contract to produce shivering. when its too hot, our body wants to lose excess heat, sweat glands are stimulated and vasodilation happens in the skin.

    when you fall sick, the immune system is activated and the set temp is adjusted higher. you get a fever. this might also be due to toxins in the blood stream, but the body actually actively sets a higher temp so that our immune system works slightly better.

    come to think about it, almost every system in the body works in this way. everything has a fixed point. deviation from this point is detected, and corrections are made to return to this fixed point.

    like i said, this model helps me understand things. it is not based on any particular research paper.

    I like slo-mo because of the soreness it gives me. I like soreness. Makes me feel like i did good.

    I’m not entirely sure if the things pros do on tv are what they actually do in real life. On youtube or in their training videos, they know they’re playing to an audience so they put up their best shows. I wonder if their real regime is anything like their videos.

    my normal reps are usually 1sec up and 1 sec down. so my negative reps are only slightly longer on the negative stroke. some magazines call it the negative-accentuated.

    i think what you described is negative-only or pure -negative reps. so you go zero effort on the up and max on the down stroke. i dont really believe in that, why miss out on the up stroke effort? and i dont have a training partner.

    i personally do negative sets for all my workouts. typically, i do 5 sets per exercise not counting warmups. first 3 sets are heavy, pyramid up to 5rep max on third set. then 4th and 5th sets i drop weight to 75% and go slo-mo. about 1sec up and 3sec down, St07ing solely on the contraction and lengthening of the target muscle. typically i can get about 5reps for the last 2 sets.

    this usually leave me sore for at least 4-5 days post w/o. i do each muscle group only once a wk.
