DIY Research!

[RRAdam]

You can answer many questions by doing a simple search and studying on your own. You will probably get a more precise answer, and achieve a greater level of knowledge than just a simple answer. Where do you search for all this stuff though? Here are some resources:

Google:
www.google.com

You can find almost everything you need on it, if you learn how to use it properly. Your next stop should always be to Medline/Pubmed:

Pubmed:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?DB=pubmed

Pubmed has basically all scientific and medical journal articles published since some time in the 50's. Almost everything I research online starts with a Pubmed search (remember, I have hundreds of dollars in medical/chemical books sitting on my book shelf, as well as every decent book on Anabolics ever written). But if I'm lacking a particular book, I try to find the PDF version of it here...they have around 600+ PDF medical textbooks on this site:

Free Books for Doctors:
http://freebooks4doctors.com/fb/index.htm



My next stop, if I don't need a book, is usually a search on the :

Journal of Applied Physiology:
http://jap.physiology.org/search.dtl

-or the-

Journal of Clinical Investigation:
http://www.jci.org/

-and-

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism:
http://jcem.endojournals.org/


If you are looking for sports-related research specifically (training, nutrition, re & prehab, etc...) then you'll want to try this site:

SportsSci:
http://sportsci.org/


For hard to find articles, I use this really obscure site/engine:

FindArticles:
http://www.findarticles.com/

For chemical structures, there's two decent sites:

Chemfinder:
http://chemfinder.cambridgesoft.com/


-and-

Chemindustry:
http://www.chemindustry.com/apps/chemicals

(or sometimes)

INCHEM:
http://www.inchem.org/


For alot of other stuff, when the other search engines and databases fail, I use direct journals:


AIDS Journals:
http://www.freemedicaljournals.com/htm/spec1.htm#hiv
Addiction Journals: http://www.freemedicaljournals.com/htm/spec1.htm#addic
Basic Science Journals: http://www.freemedicaljournals.com/htm/spec2.htm#basic

The FDA:
http://www.fda.gov/
The NIH:
http://www.nih.gov/
New Scientist:
http://www.smi.stanford.edu/pubs/index.html


For information on recreational drugs and such, I usually go to:

Erowid:
www.erowid.com

-followed by either-

The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies:
http://www.maps.org/
Dansesafe:
www.dansesafe.org

As for Online or print Authors and Magazines, I generally read stuff by Duchaine Karl Hoffman, Bill Roberts, and alot of whats written in Mind and Muscle:

Mind and Muscle Magazine:
http://magazine.mindandmuscle.net/

for which I have contributed to recently....Of course, I've also written most of the profiles on Bodybuilding4life.com www.bodybuilding4life.com )as well as the profiles for steroid.com http://forums.steroid.com/forumdisplay.php?f=102 ) and have had some work of mine appear on T-Nation (www.t-nation.com ).

Anyway, basically all of the information I've ever posted comes from one of the above sites or search engines. So now that you have all of them, you can check up on my references, or do some researching and writing of your own.

One other site...

http://www.steraloids.com

adam, this post is useless...


u know already that NOONE hardly reads the sticky's as they are too lazy and will just come n post the same question over n over again

attempt and the cause are worthy (refering to this thread) but i think the outcome isnt going to help from getting asked over n over again

[RRAdam]

Its a good resource for people who actually do their own research. besides, If i'm feeling lazy myself, i can just reference this thread as an answer to any question on the board.

[sundaygirl]

I read the stickys guys, and i just wanted to say, that its a really imformative post giveing all those sites for those who want to research stuff.
I dont want to use steroids, but like to read all areas of the site.

kudos to you sir, for trying


I used to be a member of a forum and i know how annoying it can be when people post the same thing all the time.

hello brothers.

thank you for sharing.

[repeatthebeat]

Steloids is a legit co., you need a DEA license to get steroids, analogs, etc. Do YOU have one? I sure the h*** DON'T!! Wish I DID!!!!
