    Thanks stylus, yea I know some of that stuff but it is good to hear from someone who knows their mens health. Yes I do take 2.5 mg of propecia, for 7 years now, and never really researched the side effects but i will make sure to talk to my doctor about this and how it may already affect me, as Im sure it does to some degree. As far as the creatine, I havent taken it in about a year b/c of the water retention it causes. I was at 180-185 last summer but I got very lazy in the fall and drank alot of beer and ate crap all during football season (big LSU and Saints fan), and gained alot of weight. I dont drink alcohol at all anymore. But right now Im taking the Refine and NO2. What would you recommend taking for the argenine instead of nitric oxide stim? I didnt know that about the expresso, I will try it.

    I love Noxivol, by CTD Labs... Read the info label!! Its one of the only supplements from the AKG family that still impresses me. You can always buy a bag of just arginine and take 3 to 5 grams 2 or 3x daily. Sir... I wont train without arginine!! I love the pumps, and the psychological effects... Huh, psychological effects??? It just means while I supplement, I trick myself and say.. Im not gonna waste my time supplementing unless I train to complete failure. Its almost a mental game. I know you know what I mean! Try the following..... Massnutrition.com Island supplements.com way larger selection, and half the price of GNC! GNC should be illegal. always a fat chick, or some skinny ass kid trying to sale supplements that they claim to take. Im just sayin............ Noxivol... If you dont like it. I will wire money into a pay pal account. I promise, you wont be disappointed!!
    Google its label. sick profile!!! Hey man!! Seriously... Best wishes. Pm me anytime. Sorry if we had a misunderstanding a few days back!

    Just a thought??? ever thought of joining a bb web site??
    May I, suggest a very professional one, and very honest as well??? worldclassbodybuilding.com tons of great post's and info there!

    Hey Stylus, yea man I will check out massnutrition.com- as well as Noxivol. I suppose I am not educated enough on the stuff that is in these supps to really understand. I just usually go to bodybuilding.com or bodybuilder.com (lol honestly not sure which one it is off the top of my head) and check the ratings of supps but I realize that is just lazy for me not to do the research and they have their own agenda in rating these products. I appreciate all of your advice, you seem to know alot about nutrition and working out. I will check on just prices and places to get just Arginine and see what I can do there. Funny thing you said about GNC- I dont shop their much but when I bought the REFINE last week, it was from a kinda chunky girl (to be fair she did look like she works out alot aside from BIG hips and butt) who claimed she takes most of the products in the store- is that just part of how GNC trains their employees, to tell the customer they take it personally? Tragic. Anyhow, yea man sorry I was such a jerk a few days back- I have become WAY to emotionally invested in this SMP procedure and the fact that I lash out at complete strangers is evidence that I need to step back and evaluate my frame of mind. I'll check out that Worldclassbodybuilding.com. This is actually the first blog/forum experience Ive had, but I can see how using a nutrition-based forum could be invaluable. Thanks again bro, and good luck to you as well

    Default JT in IN TIME movie

    Hey has anyone seen that movie with Justin Timberlake called In Time from 2011- its on Red Box right now. The way he has his hair cropped like a buzz cut is exactly the look Im trying to achieve.

    I'm pretty sure that his hair is a bit longer than the look you can get with msp. I would guess that he's got it shaved with a #1 (hair clippers). I cut my hair with a # 1 guard (with a beard trimmer guard - much, much shorter) to make my growing hair blend in with the msp. I believe that most people use no guard on the clippers to achieve the most natural look.

    I'm pretty sure that wherever you get it done, the results will look closer to Vin Diesel's head than to Timberlake's head in that movie.

    I'm no expert though.

    I hear ya man, but I think it depends on the amount of hair you already have going into it so that density can be achieved. I have a good amount but it is thin and I have fleshy spots, but I wouldnt mind doing the 0 guard thing either. Are you happy with the 1 guard cut?

    I had a hair transplant almost ten years ago which left me with an enormous, horrible, Frankenstein Monster scar at the back of my head. That HT was the worst decision of my life. I wrote about it extensively on here about 18 months ago before I went the "medical tattoo" route. If you search Jack 21, you'll see the thread that went on for weeks with a lot of people offering a lot of advice. Anyway, the one "positive" (if a positive can come from something that made me virtually suicidal) was that the hair transplanted to the top of my head took hold and grew (and continue to grow).

    As a result with the AC follicles and my own hair there is a good 3 D illusion. The thing of it is that in order to achieve the most realistic look my hair has to be very short. I mean I can grow my hair out to a #1 (what is that 1/4 inch?) but then the difference between my hair and the tattoo becomes more obvious. I don't go all the way down to no guard. I usually go with the #1 guard on the beard trimmer. Yesterday I actually used the #2 guard. For me that length of hair works the best.

    If you take a look at the never ending thread that I started 18 months or go you'll see my whole story. To make a long story short I dealt with SO many different people in the "hair restoration" industry who were scummy predators who know just how absolutely desperate bald/balding men are and lied to and cheated me. I have always felt that the gang at AC were the only people in this whole ordeal who ever treated me with respect and kindness.

    Anyway, whatever you do, do not get a hair transplant.
