DAVE PALUMBO
Polomac:
Cut out the creatine 2 weeks before your show..........just to play it safe.
As for IGF-1.......I suggest taking it with anabolic steroids. GH is optional. Take 10mcg per day for 4 weeks straight.......and follow that by 2 weeks off........then repeat.
Can you use Clen all the way up to contest time... will it help with getting dry? I've never used it before but was thinking of possibly using it this year starting 3-6 weeks out.
DAVE-If you use clenbuterol as a pre-contest fat burner.........MAKE SURE YOU DO STAY ON IT RIGHT UP TO THE DAY OF THE SHOW (you certainly don't wan't to negatively rebound a week before the show). For that matter, you shouldn't stop anything the week before the show. You're only asking for disaster.
Hi Dave,
Are there any real differences between the various types of GH on the market - blue tops, brown tops, Jinotrope, Humatrope, etc?
Also, I've heard that the effects of GH can alter the physique (in a positive manner) in what seems to be a permanent basis - e.g., that shoulder girth will be increased, metabolism/leaness increased, etc, even AFTER use ceases. Do you concur?
Thanks in advance for your insight
DAVE-GH is pretty much GH........... purchase whatever is cheapest..........just make sure it's the 191 amino acid sequence.
The reason it appears that you build muscle even AFTER you stop the GH is that the new muscle cells that have be produced by a process known as HYPERPLASIA require 3-9 months to increase in size enough to be noticed. Remember, they are immature, tiny, myocytes. So, the results from the GH you take today might not been seen until 6 months from now.
dave loving your diet ! but the no carbs are killing me why am i craving it so much. no wonder why i cna compete first week and im struggling i love fucking food haha. going to diet for the arnold.
i mean im dieting like for a show but following you diet can i add any more carbe like asaprus brown rice etc or will that defeat the purpose
diet is as follows
1)meal one shake with all natural peanut butter
train hour to hour and half
2)then shake
3)hour later red meat with a salad and olives
4) chicken steamed or grilled with peanuts or almonds and i added some aspargus cooked
5) 4 eggs 2 whole with some grits
20 min of treadmill cardio
6) peice of fish with some salad
7) shake with peanut butter
what you think?? im craving carbs is it ok i through in the esparagus and grits its only 18carbs the grits

DAVE-Derek...you're hungry because you're not eating enough fat. In fact, you haven't even listed quantities of anything so it's hard to see where you're going wrong. Get rid of those carbs and start eating the correct quantities of fat and protein and you won't crave anything.
Meal 1 6 whole Omega-3 eggs
Meal 2 8oz chicken with 1/2 cup raw almonds
Meal 3 50g whey with 2 tablespoons all natural peanutbutter
Meal 4 8oz salmon with 1 cup asparagus with 1 tablespoon macadamia nut oil
Meal 5 50 g whey with 2 tablespoon PB
Meal 6 6 whole eggs
This is typically how i start off most clients diets.........then there's modifications along the way and I have to cater it according to how hte client looks.
1) do you think insulin post workout is a good mass building regime.. some pros state that they belive that it is worthless.. some state it is what is bringing the freaks of today..? It's only good if you NEED the extra insulin. If you don't, you'll just get fat.
2) what do you think of cycles that are based predominately on anabolic compounds instead of anabolic compounds.. say 500 test as base, then the rest based on mainly anabolics (eq, deca, ect) in higher dosages..?Half the equation for mass cycles are comprised of TESTOSTERONE and the other half is a synthetic Anabolic like EQ, TREN, DECA, or D-BOL
3)a well known trainer has come out and said that he belived that high dose anavar (around a100mgs a day) was in his opinion the best oral steroid today.. what is your opinion of anavar..?I think all ORAL STEROIDS for MEN suck
4) i know you like long cycles.. but, what about doing cycles of 6 weeks and taking 4 weeks off (based on using fast acting esters to clear the system quickly.. i know a few competitors doing this (blast / cruise) and are reaping good benefits.. curious as to if you think this could be a feasiable alternative to your longer cycles..I beleive that once you build new muscle, you must reinforce the gains. You must Re-Set your body's homeostatic set point. This applies equally well when you're attempting to lose weight. Once you've lost your last pound, you must maintain the weight loss for several weeks to months before it becomes permanent.
5)also.. in regards to form.. many competitors (branch for example) use a short non lock tempo on thier pressing movements.. allowing them to use more weight in the porrtion of the press that targets the muscle in question.. do you do this or do you always lock out.. if so ..why..?/ It only works well for guys with short limbs (Lee PRiest, Branch, ect) Bodybuilders with long limbs need to do full range moveme
Whatt´s up Dave? This is a very interesting thread. I´d like to know if a post-workout shake for a diabetic athlete could have simple carbs in it.
Thanks for all the info!
DAVE-If you're diabetic, you can still have a fast carb post workout drink, you just need to take enough humalog to cover the carbs. If you took 50g Vitargo, for instance, you'd need to take about 5 units of Humalog in addition to whatever else you take. My gf Colette is a type 1 Diabetic and she's the one to ask with regard to how much and what types of insulin to take. Ask her over on the Women's Bodybuilding board.
Dave, I was doing lunges the other day and felt a small pain in my knee (above kneecap). Now, it only hurts when I go through the motions of lungin, used icy hot but that shit aint doin nuthin. what are some other suggestions?
DAVE-Sounds like you strained the ligaments in your knee. Take 6000mg glucosamine per day and 6000mg MSM per day............. also, purchase hydrolyzed beef collagen (pills or powder) and do 2 servings per day.
DAVE-I have to tell you the truth. Post workout I've started using VITARGO. Vitargo is a high molecular weight carbohydrate that empties from the stomach faster than dextrose and it doesn't cause bloating because the water gets pulled into the muscle (rather than filling up the stomach and intestines). Usually I mix 50-70g Vitargo with 50g whey protein and swig that down pre and post workout (in the offseason). I just started selling VITARGO on my website (www.davepalumbo.com). It comes in Fruit punch and Unflavored. I suggest unflavored if you're mixing with Chocolate whey.
hey dave,
on your advice i bumped up my glucosamine/msm intake up past the typical 1500mg. its actually helped a good bit over the last few months. anyway, whats your take on the scientific claims that long term glucosamine use may cause insulin resistance? thanks
DAVE-Eating sugar will cause insulin resistance..........not glucosamine............trust me!
Polomac:
I recently got
36 sostenon 250.
16 deca-durablin 50mg.
30 andriol tc 40mg capsulas.
20 stenox (fluoximesterna 2.5mg tablets).
50 oxyflux clenbuterol tablets 0.02 mg.
what is the best way to take what i have to make modest gains and lose fat???? i weight 280 and could stand to lose about 40 pounds.
Im a naturally big muscualr guy and have never taken any anabolics before. i figured im 36 and never taken any and would like to hit a good cycle and make some gains that will stick. thanks for your help
DAVE-500mg Sustanon per week with 100mg deca (8 weeks)
500mg Sustanon per week with 120mg Andriol per day (6 week)
2 clen per day during the entire 14 weeks
DAVE-IGF-GH-INSULIN STACK
2-4IU GH upon waking with 4-6IU Humulin-R
10-20mcg IGF-1 After you train with 4IU Humulin-R
GROWTH HORMONE is only dangerous if you have a pre-existing cancer in your body. In this case, the GH will make the tumor cells grow faster. If you are healthy, however, GH should enhance your immune system and thus prevent any cancer cells from forming to begin with.
STEROIDS and the PROSTATE:
Excessive DHT doesn't cause prostate problems in my estimation. It's the ratio of estrogen to DHT that's the problem. Think about it, 18 year old boys have the largest amount of DHT in their bodies yet they don't get prostate enlargement ............. As we age, however, our testosterone and thus DHT levels decrease and the ratio of DHT:ESTROGEN decreases. There's more ESTROGEN and less DHT.............It's the estrogen that sensitizes the prostate cells to DHT and thus causes the cells to excessively enlarge. The trick is to DECREASE ESTROGEN (with an aromatase inhibitor like Arimidex) and increase testostereone slightly with testosterone replacement.
Arimidex has been shown to lower HDL cholesterol a bit, however, other than that, it's relatively safe to take long term; especially if it keeps your elevated estrogen levels down. If you're only taking it because you have gyno, perhaps you should consider having the surgery to get the glands removed.
Dave what do you reccomend for cardio w/o gear for cuttin 202-5 in 16 weeks. Is 30 minutes every day on an empty stomach at 60-70% of max heart rate enough?
DAVE-CARDIO should be performed at a low intensity (under 120bpm heartrate). This will ensure that you use FAT as a fuelsource since as your heartrate increase, carbohydrates begin to become the preferred fuel of choice for the body. When on a low carb diet, you're body will break down muscle and turn that into carbs. Remember, Fat CANNOT be changed into carbs. Therefore, for bodybuilding, the rule of cardio should be LONG DURATION, LOW INTENSITY
THANKS DAVE FOR THE REPLY.. speaking of test.. what is your opinion of test only cycles.. maybe just 750 mgs of test a week.. anti e and nothing else.. would it work well in your opinion with out a anabolic?
DAVE-It was always my belief that you can take TESTOSTERONE alone and grow just as good as if you took other things with it. Testosterone is, after all, the main muscle building hormone in the male body. 200-300mg Test per week is great for maintainance of muscle; however, as your dosage rises over 500mg per week, muscle gains start dramatically increasing. Ideally, 750-1000mg of Testosterone per week will yield the best gains.
DAVE-FOR WEIGHT GAIN:
Follow my same formula. . . High protein (50g per meal), Moderate Fat (25g per meal), and moderate carbs (35-50g per meal). If you're a hard gainer, eat 8-10 meals. If you're an easy gainer (but get fat easily), stick to 6 meals per day.
TENDON STRENGTH:
All anabolic steroids strengthen MUSCLE TISSUE only. They have no effect on tendons and ligaments. Some anabolics like Deca exert an anti-inflamatory effect on joints but they still have no effect on connective tissue (ligaments, tendons, cartilage). GH, (and thus IGF-1) have an effect on muscle and connective tissue. They will strengthen and rebuild joint integrity, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage coated surfaces (including knee menisci)

Dave,
I have a question for you. With all the hype as well as the controversy surrounding the use of coconut oil as a fat source, what do you think of it? The only thing I noticed with it when I used it a couple of years ago was that it makes me do #2. I always see it in the supplement store and wonder about it. You're the only person I'd bother asking about it as I know you'll know if it is of any value to us. Thanks.
DAVE-Virgin Coconut Oil is a MEDIUM CHAIN SATURATE FAT. Because it's not a long chain fatty acid, it avoids digestion, processing, and the need for a carrier molecule (L-carnitine) to get into the mitochondria to be burned for energy (oxidized). Becuase of this, Coconut oil (and all medium chain fats) have been called the FATLESS FAT. From a health standpoint, its a great immune system stimulator (lots of AIDS patients are now using it for its antiviral properties). We must remember, however, that Coconut Oil is not an essential fat and, in my estimation, is useless when dieting. What it's good for as supplemental calories and fats while on a MASS BUILDING program. I used to put one teaspoon in my morning Oatmeal. Give's it some moisture and a nice coconut taste. I wouldn't advise cooking with it however. Stick with the heart healthy monounsaturated fat, MACADAMIA NUT OIL.
dave.. last question on test.. i swear .. what do you recommend for prostate health when on a high test (androgen) cycle.. ? i am concerned about prostate health and know that dht can aggravate prostate enlargement ect..
PROSTATE HEALTH:
Take a good antiaromatase (Arimidex, or Femara-- 1mg every other day) along with a good DHT blocker (Propecia: 1mg per day). Also keep testosterone levels at 200-750mg per week (200mg if you're on replacement dosages)
DAVE-ORAL GLUTAMINE never makes it to the muscle as Glutamine (the intestinal cells steal up much of it). All the muscle studies with GLUTAMINE (in burn patients) are done with IV infused GLUTAMINE (not oral). Glutamine does happen to be very good for the GI TRACT and for immune system enhancement. That's why they give it to AIDS patients. The best way to increase intramuscular glutamine levels is by ingesting a good Whey Protein supplement since the muscle cells easily interconvert other amino acids into glutamine.
KYNOSELEN:
I used Kynoselen years ago as a fat burner while dieting. I'm not sure if it actually did anything. At the time, I asked DR SCOTT CONNELLY (inventor of MET-RX) what he thought about it and he said, "I can't see why it would build muscle or burn fat, but, HEY, I guess it can't hurt! There's a heck of a lot of vitamins in there." With that in mind, I wouldn't waste your money on it. Besides, it leave the injection site very sore after you inject.
BLOOD TYPE DIET:
I don't believe there is any credibility to that BLOOD TYPE DIET. GIMMICKS GIMMICKS GIMMICKS!!
Hows Jason Huh doing? I see that dude as a major threat here in the future. Maybe get some off season pics?
DAVE-JASON HUH
I'm still working with JASON and I think he'll really impress a lot of people this year when we get him onstage for the 2007 NPC JR NATIONALS.
DAVE-I recommend 8-10 meals for OFFSEASON MASS BUILDING. 6 meals for pre-contest dieting. There's no need for more than 6 meals when dieting. I only have TONEY FREEMAN eating 6 meals and he's huge!
DIET FOR NATURALS:
Everything stays exactly the same. The same principles apply to the body whether on drugs or not. High protein, moderate fat, low carb is the ideal environment for optimal fat burning/muscle preservation.
HIGH INTENSITY CARDIO
During high intensity cardio, the body requires ATP (energy) quickly and the oxidation of fatty acids take too long to generate sufficient ATP to keep up with the requirements, so the body automatically switches its metabolic machinery over to anaerobic respiration (which can only use glucose as a fuel source). This produces much less ATP, but it generates it at an extremely quick rate. In the absence of carbs in the diet, the body must synthesize its own glucose from amino acids. The best source of amino acids in the body is lean muscle tissue. So, when doing high intensity cardio in a diet absent in carbs, the body will break down muscle and turn it into glucose. Remember, fats cannot be turned into glucose (IMPOSSIBLE!)
FIRST CYCLES:
I beleive in sticking with the mild stuff when doing a first cycle since anything you do will work great. Try 400mg Deca per week with 50mg winstrol 3x per week........
NATURAL BODBUILDER:
The best natural testosterone booster is a potent anti-estrogen like 6-oxo or Gaspari's Novedex XT. The reason is that it's ESTROGEN that shuts down testosterone production in men. Therefore, if you inhibit the conversion of testosterone into estrogen, you'll allow your body to crank out more natural testosterone without the possibility of shutdown by excess estrogen.
FIRST CYCLE:
When you've never done a cycle, testosterone is unnecessary since ANYTHING will make you grow. You might as well stick with mild stuff.
PRECONTEST:
Never discontinue testosterone..... Keep it in right up the about 2-3 days out. The diet, diuretics, and water restriction that last 12 hours will get rid of any extra water.
