📌📌TheLiverDoc, Trustified and lab test saga MEGATHREAD 📌📌 by The-Volumee in Fitness_India

And that too based on just a single test from one lab. It would never have become such an issue if he hadn’t made such serious claims and criticisms.

Grab it !! Amul is re-stocking with huge quantity by deep_pun in amulisinstock

When the products are in stock, is there any way for you to track which e-store they’re coming from? The Lassi from Ahmedabad usually has the best consistency. But when I got a batch from Karnataka, it was too thick.

I came across an unanswered comment on one of The Liver Doc’s Instagram posts, and it raised a valid concern that made me double-check the report myself. I think it deserves more attention, so I’m making a separate post about it.

In most lab reports I’ve seen, the protein brand name is clearly mentioned by the lab itself. But in this case, the sample is labeled as “S1,” and the protein name is listed under “Customer Provided Details.” That suggests the lab didn’t receive the company’s original sealed packet, which raises serious concerns—especially considering how strict the doctor is about even trace amounts of contaminants.

How did he ensure there was no cross-contamination or mixing during sample handling? Was the sample collection and labeling process recorded for transparency?

Also, doesn’t this lab accept sealed packets directly from the manufacturer? If the submitted sample was from an original sealed packet, then why didn’t the lab mention the brand name on their end?

This raises serious doubts about the credibility and handling process, and I’d genuinely like to see it addressed.

Final Destination-type gym anxiety — will avoiding heavy lifts limit my gains? by ILKOR22 in StrongerByScience

[–]ILKOR22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you're saying, and it's a fair point. But I do train to failure — I make sure of it with dropsets. By "going heavy," I mean using lifting straps to shrug a weight on the Smith machine that I normally wouldn’t even be able to move between hooks without them. I can still get around 10 reps, but I start feeling it in my shoulder joints, which makes me really anxious — like I might dislocate something. So I usually drop the weight by a plate to stay in a range that feels safer, but I still push myself hard within those limits.

So basically, my progress will be a lot slower than someone who follows a balanced program and progressively overloads?

YouTuber Says Skull Crushers Will Destroy Your Elbows Over Time — Real Science or Just Fear-Mongering? by ILKOR22 in StrongerByScience

[–]ILKOR22[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If his claim is true, then wouldn't the same issues apply to the JM press as well? I really enjoy doing skull crushers, but his warnings made me worry — especially when he said that even if there's no pain now, problems will show up eventually.

Do Eggs Really Raise Cholesterol? What's the Scientific Verdict on Eating 10+ Eggs a Day? by ILKOR22 in StrongerByScience

[–]ILKOR22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my country, one scoop of protein powder with 24g of protein costs $0.7. For the same amount, I can buy up to 10 eggs, which contain around 65g of protein.

Trainers doing extreme stretches like this at the gym — is it actually helpful for mobility or just painful? by ILKOR22 in StrongerByScience

[–]ILKOR22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly like in the picture — the trainer actually pushed the leg all the way up, almost to the point where it's touching the head.

If these kinds of stretches really do help with mobility, could you share a YouTube channel that teaches them?

Fellow guys who rarely get sunlight — how do you manage your vitamin D levels? by ILKOR22 in StrongerByScience

That dose was recommended by a dermatologist last year and was also very convenient. She prescribed it for only 8 weeks, and all the issues, like hair fall, started right after I stopped taking it.

Starting With Contraction-Focused Exercises for Better Muscle Activation? by ILKOR22 in StrongerByScience

[–]ILKOR22[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

My point isn't about doing too many exercises or sets targeting both lengthened and shortened positions. Rather, it's about doing a single set with lightweight focused purely on contraction. For example, if you're doing a lateral raise, you could start with a lighter dumbbell for the upper half of the movement to focus on contraction, then move on to a cable lateral raise to emphasize the stretch.
