Dianabol Cycles and Uses

No other steroid conjures up more nostalgia in the bodybuilding community. For decades this has been the mainstay of both novice and experienced users. Other steroids may fall out of favour, or indeed appear to be the new Holy Grail, but Dianabol is probably the most used steroid of them all, and is often heralded ‘The Breakfast of Champions’.

Dianabol (often shortened to D-Bol), was actually a brand name given to the steroid compound Methandrostenolone by the Swiss pharmaceutical and chemical company Ciba. Though production ceased many years ago, the brand name lives on and is still the name by which the steroid is most commonly referred. Nowadays, there are a host of 'underground laboratories’ that manufacture this steroid.

Even today, despite steroid users becoming more accustomed to, and have the finance to fund exotic cycles with many different compounds, Dianabol is as popular as ever, owing to the fact that it is not only very cheap and relatively widespread, but results are nothing short of breathtaking, both in terms of mass gained and increases in strength.

Suggested Cycles/Uses

Prospective steroid users will typically look toward D-Bol as their first steroid experience. This is understandable given the unease that they may possess in respect of using inject able steroids. A 4-6 week course of 25mg-30mg per day should yield a pleasing outcome for novice users, whilst minimising side effects. As you would expect, more advanced users will benefit from higher dosages, though the dose/result ratio is not uniformly linear, and will see benefits tapering off strongly above 60mg-70mg per day, a situation also compounded with perhaps unacceptable side effects. However, given the nature of Dianabol, this situation is rarely encountered, as more experienced users will prefer to stack it with an injectable 'base’ steroid such as Testosterone or Nandrolone (Deca) in order that the D-Bol dosages are kept modest.

Due to the relatively short half life, the daily dose is usually spread throughout the day, typically three or four times, with meals. Alternatively, some users prefer to take the full daily dose in one sitting, around 30 minutes before their workout. Dosing in this way can give rise to incredible 'pumps’ during the workout, providing the user with a very real sense of vigour and increased performance. There is an additional perceived benefit in that a single dosage will result in a slightly greater uptake of the drug. Whilst this is true, it is somewhat of a fallacy due to the fact that any benefit is countered by an increased in liver stress associated with an increased load borne by the liver from a single dosing schedule. Additionally, it will create a spike in blood concentrations, swiftly followed by a crash; a situation which is normally desired to be avoided by users.

Dianabol is particularly suited to mass gaining goals, where the primary aim is to gain as much muscle as possible, with the user typically adjusting their diets to accommodate possibly 5000 calories or more. Testosterone/Deca/Dianabol is a superb combination with this goal in mind, two examples of which are shown below:

(Novice) Testosterone (Enanthate/Cypionate/Sustanon) 500mg pw, weeks 1-11 Deca 400mg pw, weeks 1-10 Dianabol 25mg ed, weeks 1-4

(Intermediate) Testosterone (Enanthate/Cypionate/Sustanon) 750mg pw, weeks 1-11 Deca 600mg pw, weeks 1-10 Dianabol 35mg ed, weeks 1-4

Due to the sometimes excessive water retentive properties of Dianabol, it makes it a poor choice of compound in cycles where the user is looking to shed fat. Cardiovascular activity will feature heavily during periods of cutting and these endeavours will be greatly hampered by the water retention and the painful 'pumps' that often ensue.

IGF-1 R3 - Insulin-Like Growth Factor Recombinant 3

IGF1 stands for insulin like growth factor. It mimics insulin in the human body and also at the same time makes the muscles more sensitive to insulin’s effects. It is a growth factor and is the most potent one in the human body at that. IGF causes muscle cell hyperplasia, which is an actual splitting and forming of new muscle cells. This was thought to only be possible during puberty. IGF is much more potent at this effect than growth hormone is, in fact almost all of the effects you see from growth hormone come from the increased amount of IGF that your liver produces when the GH is destroyed. So it would be very easy to say that IGF is a much more potent and cheaper alternative to GH use, although GH is more effective for fat loss than IGF due to some other effects that it causes such as metabolism increase and the ability to effectively use more insulin, T3, and anabolic steroids.Another advantage that IGF has over GH is that it has much more of an affinity to attach to muscle cells instead of bone and organ cells. Growth hormone has been know to cause a lot of organ enlargement and bone elongation since it attaches to all types of receptor cells. IGF is much more likely to go where we want it, our muscle cells. IGF-1 attaches to myogenic stem cells which are only located in muscle and connective tissues. These myogenic stem cells are responsible for the production of myoblast cells which in turn are responsible for the buildup and repair of connective tissues (ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and joints to a certain extent).So from this you can see that IGF-1 is great for increasing the strength of tendons and also for helping to heal existing injuries while at the same time helping to prevent them. IGF-1 is also responsible for increased protein synthesis and amino acid synthesis.IGF does not have to be used along with anabolic steroids, GH, insulin, or thyroid hormones to be effective. It causes muscle growth on its own. In fact some people prefer to use it during their breaks from steroid cycles since IGF has no effect on natural test production. It could effectively be used along with HCG, clomid, and PGF2a for a hell of an off cycle stack which would allow your body to return to normal and still allow you to grow!! On its own IGF will give an increase of around 2 lbs. of new solid lean muscle tissue every two weeks, and is also is know for its ability to strip off body fat and GREATLY increase vascularity, body fat decreases of 5-8% over a 50 day cycle are not uncommon. But, of course you will be much happier with the results if you use the IGF along with anabolic steroids, testosterone, and insulin.The use of steroids along with the IGF allow you to quickly mature and strengthen the new muscle tissue that the IGF has formed, and may also speed the process of hyperplasia.The dosage issue for IGF is where the most controversy lies. Dosages used by competitive athletes most commonly range anywhere between 60mcg/day to 100+mcg/day. The trick is finding the dosage that works best for YOU. For most the best results appear when you reach a dosage of 80mcg/day, while some do receive good results from only 40mcg/day.

Is Post-Cycle Therapy PCT Really Necessary?

If you are asking yourself how steroids are used, you’ve come to the right place. First of all, what are steroids? Steroids are synthetic compounds which are used to enhance the body strength or in other words, it can be used to improve overall performance of human body. Steroid users are usually professional bodybuilders, but amateur athletes also use them.

No matter which group you belong to, you must know the basic rules of using the steroids. Steroids are used in cycles, and each cycle lasts differently depending on the type of steroid combination you’re taking. After each cycle its usual to ‘’take’’ the post cycle therapy (or PCT). What is post cycle therapy (PCT)? Post cycle therapy is very important and it shouldn’t be avoided because PCT helps our body to preserve the results created by the steroid usage period. Steroids have a big influence on our organism, and people who are taking them shouldn’t stop using them suddenly.

The body needs time to adjust both to starting and stopping of usage. If this is not respected, then the body can easily fall into a state of shock which is medically called post cycle or hormonal crash. In order to prevent this, the PCT is a necessary part of your steroid usage.

PCT causes different reactions within different people due to: • lasting of the cycle • type of the steroids used • characteristics of the individual person’s body and organism.

Wrong opinions It’s absolutely normal to have different opinions within many people, but what’s surprising is that many professional bodybuilders don’t know and can’t distinguish what is good and what is bad for them. This is because many of them are not completely familiarized with the process of steroids use. Many of them think that steroid usage is simply consists of taking the steroids (like ordinary medicines) in some particular time of the day. But this is not true. Steroids are everything but ordinary. They have a big impact on our health.

The biggest influence they have is on the endocrine system and if you are not ready to take the risks of using them, you should reconsider your decision. Many people who are not well informed just go and buy some type of steroids and start using them. This is not the way it should be done! The doctor is the one and only person who is capable of deciding which steroids are the best for you. Another illusion connected to the steroids is that you can just stop using them and there will be no consequences. But this is wrong.

Steroid cycles are planned in a way that the amount of steroid intake is slowly decreased as you are getting closer to the end of the cycle. If you suddenly stop using them, your organism will suffer a hormonal shock which can seriously damage your organs and your overall health. This is why proper cycle treatment and post cycle therapy is needed.

Post cycle therapy helps the body to recover from steroid usage and to preserve the results you’ve gained. PCT is really useful and that’s why it has become a standard in terms of the use of steroids. PCT is extremely useful when it comes to long cycle treatments, because PCT can help our body to recover the hormones more quickly.

How long does it last? The doctor’s job is to recommend practice of post cycle therapy, but the final decision is up to you. No one can force you to take neither steroids nor PCT. But, if you decide not to take it, then it’s your responsibility to look out for the serious consequences you can suffer. If you decide otherwise, again, you shouldn’t take it on your own. The PCT combination and the duration of the PCT depend on the types of steroids you’ve used and the duration of the steroid usage cycle.

How to protect liver during steroid cycle?

Steroids are blamed for many negative effects on human body, one of them being liver toxicity. But not all of them are responsible for damaging the liver. All alkylated anabolic steroids are proved to have bad influence in liver function. What are these steroids? All oral anabolics with the most common of them in the top: Dianabol, Anadrol, Anavar and of course Winstrol.

Non-alkylated steroids are injectable steroids like Testosterone, Masteron, Equipoise, Deca Durabolin, Primobolan and others. If you want free of liver effects steroids than choose one of this group. This is especially important for those who are susceptible to liver problems.

Liver has the role to clean our body of toxins. Steroids are toxins, hence when they enter the body begin to eliminate them, without letting them get in ten blood. To avoid being breakdown into liver, oral steroids were modified in a way that inhibits the excretory function of the liver. It is not able to eliminate toxins; hence they accumulate in the body causing serious health problems.

The intend of this post is to show how to break through a steroids cycle keeping your liver fully functional. Read further and find how exactly you can do it.

Use a non-alkylated steroid as base

The use of oral steroids alone is contraindicated. It put a high pressure in the liver and it may cede. Even you have a healthy liver, always stack an injectable with an oral. Such a mix has also a great synergic effect. So that you do not only manage to protect your liver, but also accomplish great results, whether you are bulking or cutting.

The dosage has to be no higher than 350-750mg per week of stack. A higher dosage will inhibit liver function even the gains will be better then you expected. You may get bigger or slimmer, but your liver is goanna be deeply affected. Just to know, individuals can live only 2-3 days if liver function is shut down.

Cycle duration has not to exceed 6 weeks. Of course there are many steroid users taking oral anabolics for much longer time without apparently damaging the liver. Acting so is a a big mistake. What they miss is that with every week steroids cause scar tissue which is undetected. They worsen in time as steroids consumption don’t let them heal. The finality is that you get not only with big muscle, but also big scars which put you at risk to develop cancer.

Six weeks are the frame time within the activity of liver is still normal and steroids influence is not devastating. With proper manipulation great results can be achieved even within “short steroid cycle”. High steroid dosage for long time are too dangerous for your health to risk it.

If still want to make your cycle longer, than replacing orals with injectables is a must. For every gram of Winstrol or Anadrol take Testosterone, while Anavar can be replaced with Trenbolone in a 2:3 basis. Search for the injectable which carry the same effects the oral did and make the substitution beginning with the 7th week of cycling.

No bridging between cycles

Alkylated steroids cycles have to be followed by the same amount of time if not more. Allow body time to get back to its normal function. Liver regenerate if time is allowed. And so do hormones and other vital organs.

It’s common nowadays to not stop taking steroids using bridging. Aside of damaging your liver, such a method is not productive. The more steroids take, the higher resistance body builds to it so that they become inefficient after a period of time. That’s why take breaks and let the body detach from toxins that entered it during time. After a while, you can get back in cycling.

Take supplements to protect liver

Despite of caution steroid use, including liver supplements in your diet is necessary. Lecithin, Liv-52 and Milk Thistle, Essentiale are some products to take in consideration but you are not limited to them. Buy from reliable sources to make sure you ingest high quality products. And this is available for anabolics too.

No alcohol or liver toxic medications

When cycling avoid drinking alcohol at all and be caution to drugs that shows liver toxicity properties. The liver activity is already perturbed, don’t worsen the situation.

Bottom line. Before get involved in oral steroid cycle make sure your liver function is normal. The same do when cycle is over and you are ready for the next one. Throw away the idea of oral cycle if you already have liver issues. It’s not for you. In all other cases keep in mind the above mentioned tricks and liver activity will not be affected in a degree that put your health in danger.

Winstrol and Primobolan cycle

Most people who do this cycle are looking to cut. Cutting means that you are trying to lose your body fat and increase the mass of your lean muscles. You can get this goal from the use of winstrol and primobolan cycles. Unfortunately, most countries have banned the use of steroids. It means that not much active research is taking place in the safe use of steroids, but having said that lot of people have been experimenting with the use of steroids and they have hit on the right formulas for themselves through trial and error. Although, you should never forget that what works for them may not work for you and what does not work for them may work for you. Therefore, you have to design your own cycle and experiment with it to get the best results. Most people recommend that you should not use just winstrol and primobolan in a cycle. One of the main reasons for that is that they both suppress the natural production of testosterone in your body. It means that if you do a cycle based on just these two drugs for a period of 10-12 weeks. You can end up with a serious deficiency of testosterones in your body. You should know that testosterone deficiency could cause serious problems like depression, impotency and irritability besides others. Don’t forget to buy tamoxifen – the antiestrogen tablets. Also you can take Proviron and HCG after the winstrol primo cycle. It means that if you want to use these drugs, than you will do well to add test to your stack as well. Another thing that most people who has been using steroids will recommend you is to take very special care of your diet. It is the most often neglected aspect of any cutting cycle. Using these steroids is not going to provide your body with the required nutrition. It is a very important fact that many people either do not know, or chose to ignore. Steroids are just artificial hormones. They do not provide your body with energy. They just help your body ion using up the energy that is already stored in it. Most probably, you are going to use these drugs to reduce your body fat and working out followed by cardio is going to help you a lot, but you need to remember that your body has other needs than just burning fat. Your body needs proteins to repair and build muscles among other things. Therefore, to get maximum benefits out of your workouts and steroids you need to plan your diet very carefully. It should have plenty of proteins and carbohydrates. When you work out your body need lot of energy. Most people make the mistake that they do not use carbohydrates in the food they take before workout. It means that their body will use up glucose that their muscles need and they will not be able to get the maximum benefit.

Equipoise Boldenone Undecylenate Steroid

When search for the best steroid to take, the most important aspects you pay attention to are how anabolic and androgenic it is. Equipoise is the steroid that greatly meet both requirements, being a strong anabolic steroids, with moderate androgenic side effects. It was initially created as a veterinary anabolic steroid, but over the time has become one of the most demanded steroid among bodybuilders. Equipoise is trade name of Boldenone Undecylenate, and is also known as Ganabol, or Ultragan. Equipoise appears as a result of attempt to produce a long-acting injectable form of dianabol steroid. The main thing which was changed in Dbol for this purpose was 17-alpha-methyl group (is responsible for not being destroyed by liver when ingest dbol pills). Despite of their chemical similarities, dbol and equipoise acts absolutely different ways. From chemical point of view, Equipoise is just a modification of testosterone molecule. And you are right guessing, that it presents the same anabolic properties as testosterone, while androgenic effects are quite low. This makes Equipoise more preferred among bodybuilders. If you take a look on bodybuilding forums you will see that there are many people who kindly recommended to avoid the concomitant use of dbol and equipoise. This is because they’re considered to be almost the same, and their stack may be dangerous. But this is a wrong approach and you have to know why. First of all, this misconception was triggered many years ago by Dan Duchaine in his books where he told that equipoise and dbol give the same results. After a time he rescinded his opinion, but it remain real for many of bodybuilders even nowadays. Dbol is a progestin and a 19-nor derived, while equipoise is a slightly modified molecule of testostosterone. That’s why Equipoise presents the characteristics of dbol, but is more anabolic and androgenic than it. A great advantage of Equipoise use is that it has a long acting life, and thus is administered every 2-3 weeks. This is due to undecylenate ester who was added to this injectable steroid. The benefits of Equipoise The most of bodybuilders who used equipoise, report a slight but qualitative muscle mass gains. It is believed that the slow effect of the drug is associated with undecylenate ester, which was attached to the molecule of Equipoise. That’s why during Equipoise cycle muscle gains will be more slowly than in case of dbol, but more qualitative. This aspect is essential when designing the Equipoise cycle. Its length should not be longer than 10 weeks. Also, Equipoise can be reached in the body for a longer period of time. That’s why athletes who participate in competitions have to know this detail. Aside of slow, but high quality muscle gains, Equipoise increases muscle strength and appetite. It also positively affect the blood circulation. Elevated level of red blood cells improves the delivery of oxygen to the muscles. This makes this steroid attractive to athletes. Equipoise dosage and stacks Equipoise is usually taken in 400-600 mg injections on a weekly basis. A lower dose would not be effective, while higher dosage are responsible for damaging your health, meantime the results in muscle growth would not be impressive. This anabolic steroid has mild nature, thats’ why the best is to stack it with other steroids, such as Winstrol, Anavar,Trenbolone, and testosterone. It can be successfully used both for bulking and for cutting. The length of cycles should not exceed 10 weeks. If you worry about potential side effects and want to minimize them, than you can make your Equipoise cycle minimal length – 8 weeks. Here are two examples of equipoise cycles for bulking and cutting. Stack of boldenone and testosterone ethanate for bulking up This is a 10 weeks cycle, during which take 200 mg of equipoise weekly from the beginning till 8th week. Testosterone ethanate has to be administered in a 250 mg daily beginning with second until the 7th week. Post cycle therapy includes the use of Tamoxifen 10 mg (1 pill per day) from 5th to 10th week. This cycle is best for novice chemical bodybuilders, as the equipoise lowers the side effects of testosterone while anabolic effects are very strong. This is why during this cycle androgenic and estrogenic side effects of mixed steroids are reduced. The use of Tamoxifen is however advised. Stack of Equipoise, testosterone ethanate, and Winstrol for cutting Adding winstrol to equipoise and testosterone will help you to get shredded and burn fat. Take 200 mg of equipoise weekly from the beginning until 8th week. During this cycle testosterone ethanate would be taken in a dose 100 mg daily beginning with second until the 7th week. Winstrol is taken beginning with 6th until 10th week in a dose of 50 mg each day. As in case previous cycle, PCT includes the use of Tamoxifen 10 mg (1 pill per day) from 5th to 10th week. This is also a mild nature cycle, that provide great results while side effects are still low. For greater results follow a rich diet and include in your workout more cardio exercises. Equipoise side effects Equipoise aromatase in a low degree, 50% less than testosterone. Thus estrogenic side effects as gynecomastia, water retention and increase blood pressure wouldn’t not occur in case of moderate dosage. However, if you want to keep estrogenic effects under control than adding Nolvadex to your cycle would be a good decision. Also, you can consider anti-aromatase drugs such as Arimidex, Femara, or Aromasin, but they may be not necessary since Equipoise is a quiet mild steroid. Equipoise may have androgenic side effects too, such as oily skin, acne, increased aggression and hair loss. But, in most cases their occurrence is caused by use of high dosage. It also decrease the natural testosterone production. Equipoise on women Equipoise is one of few compounds that are comfortable for women use. It has low androgenic activity, virilization is not encountered if used in low doses. The recommended dosage for women is 50-150 mg per week. As you see Equipoise is not a quick mass builder, but it provides steady and high quality muscle gains and preserves muscle mass after steroid ceasing. It is a soft steroids, with low estrogenic and androgenic side effects. If used in moderate dosage, the use of antiestrogens is not mandatory. Equipoise is a versatile steroid, and should be stacked with other steroids either for bulking up or for cutting. For gaining muscle mass Equipoise can be stacked with testosterone ethanate. Such a combination gives an incredible increase in muscle size and strength, while side effects are much more less possible than in case of other compounds. For cutting purpose, the best would be to mix Equipoise with non-aromatizable steroids, such as Halotestin or Winstrol.

The Top 10 Safest Steroids

It’s no secret that steroids have gotten a bad rap over the years as they’ve been plagued by scandal and professional athletes who decide to break the rules. But it’s hard to deny that steroids definitely have a place in sports. While steroids may be illegal in most competitions, that doesn’t mean they aren’t safe to use to help you reach your body building goals. There are plenty of steroids on the market that have been proven both safe and effective for use. Not only are they safe for you to use to build up your muscles, they’re also often considered one of the best ways to help you amp up and repair your muscles for hardcore workouts. However even though we know they can be safe and very helpful it’s still very hard to figure out which ones are the safest for you to use. To help you find the treasure out of the trash we’ve put together a list of the top 10 safest steroids on the market. Safe Steroid The Top 10 Safest Steroids The Top 10 Safest Steroids: 1) Testosterone: Testosterone heads the list because of how readily it absorbs in the system. Testosterone is a natural compound to the system so it should feel relatively normal in your body. 2) Primobolan: Primobolan is considered a generally weak steroid which makes it both safe, as it has such a small chance for major side effects, and makes it a great starter for the beginner body builder just getting his feet wet in the steroid world. 3) Anavar: Anavar is a go to for the health conscious body builder who still wants the boost from steroids. Anavar is very mild and has been shown to act very mildly on the organs. It’s also been shown to have little effect on sex organs making it a great choice for female athletes. Because it’s so mild it is easily build up in the system and can eventually be taken at very high levels. 4) Masteron: This steroid is a favorite by many top level professional body builders because of how unique it is among the top common steroids. Because it’s used to treat breast cancer you won’t have any worries of the body interpreting it as estrogen and its one of the only steroids not used medically for weight gain, so you also don’t need to worry about any sudden fat gain while you’re trying to gain muscle. 5) Deca-Durabolin: This steroid is highly effective at gaining muscle mass, but should only used by serious body builders. Unlike most steroids which need exercise only, this one will need a lot of food fuel to get this steroid up and running. But for athletes with the right diet in place this is sure to build incredible muscle mass. 6) Winstrol-Stanazol: Winstrol is safe when taken correctly- as an injectable, but will otherwise put strain on your liver. Winstrol has made its place on this list because it is considered safe for women to use. 7) Nandrolone: Nandrolone can be a little tricky as to its effectiveness, it varies upon each individual. However, nandrolone users report very few side effects which makes it relatively safe to try. 8) Omnadren: This steroid is a mix of four different testosterone compounds. This makes omnadren faster acting than most steroids which is a huge advantage if you’re trying to bulk up fast. 9) Equipoise: This is a very mild steroid that is most similar to testosterone. However, because it is so mild this makes it difficult to use on its own. Equipoise also is known to cause a huge appetite in its users so don’t take it is you’re trying to diet or lose weight. 10) Trenbolone: Trenbolone is listed last here because though it isn’t considered all that safe, it is known to be incredibly powerful. Because of its power some athletes might chose to look past possible side effects and give it a go. Make sure when you’re looking into what steroid is right for you and your routine that you pay close attention to all of the possible side effects. Weigh the risks and figure out which one is worth it to achieve your ultimate fitness goals.

Anavar and Primo Cycle Dosage

Everyone seems to be into steroids these days; it doesn’t matter whether they are guys or gals. There are different kinds of steroids and based on their varying characteristics they are used to achieve different results. While some are anabolic and a few of these can even be androgenic, you can see some other which fall under the classification of corticosteroids that are commonly prescribed to patients as an anti-inflammatory drug by their physicians. If one wishes to take anabolic-androgenic steroids to develop muscle mass and strength, it is important to run them in cycles and sometimes in conjunction with other drugs to counter their harsher effects. In order to learn about the Anavar and Primo cycle dosage, let us first understand what Anavar and Primo are. What is Anavar? Anavar (also known as Oxandrolone) is a mildly anabolic drug which is neither very toxic nor very androgenic. So basically it is a very mild steroid that helps in building muscles. It is available as oral medication and is one of the most commonly used ones. As compared to other anabolic steroids, Anavar is also very mild on the liver. Because it is a safer drug when compared to others, it is only seldom that side-effects are registered. And since it is not very androgenic and has less side-effect, it is also used by many women. Anavar Dosage Because of its mild properties, reasonably high daily dosage is also tolerated easily by people and men commonly take up to 80mg of it daily. Less than 20 mg daily will not bring any results and would be only a waste of time, effort and money. Anavar and Fat Loss Anavar has been successfully associated with considerable fat loss and this leads to weight loss as opposed to other anabolic and androgenic steroids that result in weight gain either through water retention or increased appetite. But the good thing about using Anavar is that all the muscle that is gained or all the weight that is gained is solid and cannot be lost easily after the steroid is left. In comparison, when other steroid cycles end, people start to lose weight quite quickly. Anavar Cycles Although Anavar might not be best for body building, it is great for building strength and for cutting purposes. It is good for athletes who want to be tested as clean. In fact Anavar could be a great drug to be used as bridge between cycles of other more stronger drugs. What is Primo? Primo or Primobolan is a more common name for the drug MethenoloneEnanthate. It is more anabolic than Anavar and consists of 6% androgenic properties; however, it is still classified as a mild steroid. Primo is available in both oral and injectable form, but it has not proven to be a successful mass building drug when taken orally because the liver usually destroys any traces of Methenolone Acetate that is ingested through the mouth. Similar to Anavar, it is mild and contains less of those steroid properties which leads to water retention or acne or any other side effects that are related to estrogen. This makes Primo a very successful drug amongst those who become easily prone to side-effects like skin problems and digestive issues. Another property which makes it similar to Anavar is the fact that it leads to quality and permanent muscle gain over an elongated period of time; that is more than 8 weeks of consistent use. It is true that both Primo and Anavar are slightly milder drugs than most anabolic steroids, but that does not mean that post cycle therapy can be avoided for both. Primo and Anavar do not affect the libido in many people; nonetheless there is always a chance that it can lower the libido in some. Therefore Testosterone is recommended as a side drug with Primo and Anavar so that if the natural levels of testosterone are suppressed in the body, then the loss can be made up with the drug. Primo and its Cycle People who have been on Primo suggest that dosage lower than 400 mg per week is of no use. It is a quality drug that results in gradual, yet retainable muscle mass in the body. Therefore, anywhere between 400 to 800mg per week can be taken. Also Primo has the ability of enhancing the properties of testosterone drug, so even if you take less of testosterone with Primo, it is going to feel as if you are taking more. So control the amount of testosterone that you take with it. Also primo can have some harsh effects on the diet, which means that you might feel a loss of appetite but at the same time you will be able to gain good quality muscle. But people who deliberately take care of their diet, while they take Primo and Anavar, experience wonderful results.

Deca and Winstrol - the best stack for joints

A common trait for most of anabolic steroids is their ability to trigger a powerful aromatization process. This cause the surplus of testosterone to be converted into estrogen. The lower is the estrogen level in the body during cycling, the less chances to develop such unwanted side effects as gyno, bloating, water retention and others. At first glance it may seem this exactly what we want to achieve, but things are a bit different. Estrogen hormone directly influence the immune system, and mobility of joints. And the last one is very important for being able to work out at full capacity. Deca and Winstrol are totally two antagonist steroids by the effects they have on joints. Deca is considered to lubricate them very well, while Winstrol is blamed for drying them up. Just take a look on steroids boards and check people opinions about winstrol effects on joints. Most of them claim that training while being on winstrol or after them is quite painful. Before adding it to their cycle lifting weights were not a problem, while after Winstrol consumption there is a sharp increase of pain which cause them to abandon trainings. Deca, or also known Deca Durabolin or nandrolone decanoate is perhaps the second most popular steroid of all the time after testosterone. There is no steroid user who lack the use of Deca for adding on muscle mass. In truth, Deca are quite far of the anabolic properties assigned to it, and is, in biggest part, weaker on this chapter than many other steroids. What makes Deca popular Deca Durabolin is a descendant of nandrolone, also called 19-nortestosterone. A great feature of this class of steroids is their low conversion estrogen level compare to testosterone. Times ago when aromatization inhibitors were not developed, choosing such a drug was especially important, as it helped to keep estrogen level in normal limits. We evolved, there are many aromatization inhibitors on the market, but Deca remain a basic drug for all steroid users due to its great moisturized effects on joints. What makes Winstrol popular Winstrol is highly appreciated for its fat burning effects. It is the number one cutting anabolic steroid which promote great muscle definition while enhancing muscle growth. It is an oral steroid, hence is liver toxic and is consumption should be no longer than 4 weeks. It also negatively affect heart function too. Unfortunately, Winstrol reduce estrogen level in the body and water retention causing joints to dry. At a dosage of 20-30mg per day this effect might not be noticeable, while going with 40-50 mg daily can cause serious joints pain. Deca and winstrol stack For cutting purpose you will obviously consider Winstrol you first choice. Acknowledging not only its good effects on burning fat, but also it side effects on your joints, your next concern is what to mix it with to get the most of your cycle. You have two main options: testosterone or deca, or even third one stack them all. Testosterone suppress estrogen production at a higher level. Knowing already how dramatically winstrol lower estrogen level, it would be not reasonable to add in another steroid which carry the same effect. Especially when you have a good alternative: Deca. So, while winstrol will dry the joints, deca promotes their lubrification and promote some muscle growth as well. You just catch two rabbits on the same time, as you manage to enhance muscle grow getting muscle definition. With deca you can be sure that you testosterone level is maintained in normal limits, so taking some test for namely this purpose is not indicated. Deca and winstrol do stack well. There is a biochemical activity between them which is not met in case of other steroids. They are like those positive and negative charged that attract each other. And the results are more than impressed. It’s worth mentioning, that a key importance for reaching cutting effects while cycling is to keep a close eyes on diet. No sugar, no fat, no fats food, no soda drinks! Eat healthy: vegetables, fruits, fat dairy products, meat and good oils like fish or seed oil. “You are what you eat” and as long as you eat shit, don’t expect to lose fat or pack on some muscle mass. Anabolics don’t do wonders. They just help you by maximizing the results of the efforts you put on this: maximising your workouts and diet results. Without these two components, steroid use is crappy at all, regardless of what you take winstrol, test, deca or any other roid. As a bottom line, deca and winstrol is indeed the best combination for your joints when looking to get shredded. Use them and your joints and tendons will thanky later for this. Also, your trainings would be more efficient since you will not be restricted in what you do by the pain you might feel. So, this is an absolutely win-win situation, make sure you don’t miss it!

Using Trenbolone To Build Lean Muscle Mass

While there is no substitute for hard work, a clean diet and lots cardio, there are products out there which can give you the added edge when it comes to building that ultra-lean and impossibly chiselled physique. One of the most popular steroids to aid weight loss and ‘getting cut’ is Trenbolone, or ‘Tren’ for short. What is Trenbolone? Trenbolone is a versatile steroid which promotes muscle growth and increases appetite. So as to increase its half-life and make it more fast acting, Trenbolone is typically refined as Trenbolone Acetate. The drug has been around since the Golden Age of Bodybuilding where it was originally used in its Finaplix (Fina) pellet form. The Benefits of taking Trenbolone 1) No Estrogen Conversion Trenbolone is one of the more popular steroids when it comes to bodybuilding because, unlike many of its counterparts, it does not convert to estrogen, thus eliminating the harmful aromatizing effect. Therefore, so long as you are just taking Trenbolone and not stacking it with any other steroid, you will not need to dabble with any estrogen suppressants. 2) Boosts Strength In addition to the non-estrogen conversion, Trenbolone is the steroid of choice for many bodybuilders for many other important reasons. Firstly, it is an extremely powerful steroid, and is believed to be up to 500% stronger than testosterone, which will result in unmitigated strength gains. 3) Builds Lean Muscle Because Trenbolone boosts production of the hormone IGF-1, it has a huge impact on the recovery process, which, as we all know, is vital to muscle repair and growth. In fact, Trenbolone has been proven to increase the rate of muscle tissue repair by upwards of 100%! In addition, unlike numerous other anabolic steroids you’ll find on the market today, Trenbolone’s water retention is very low – almost non-existent in fact – which means that all gains are 100% hard, well-defined muscle. 3 Fat Loss Trenbolone is used frequently by professional bodybuilders for contest prep due to its highly effective fat shredding properties. The body burns more fat in the absence of estrogen due to the high androgen content. In fact, Trenbolone is one of the few steroids that can directly affect fat-loss in such a positive way. Myths about Trenbolone Now we have discussed the benefits of using Trenbolone, let’s now dispel a few of the myths that are associated with the steroid. Firstly, and contrary to what you may read online on various forums, there is no evidence to suggest that frequent use of Trenbolone can lead to any kind of kidney damage. What’s more, again contrary to popular belief, taking Trenbolone will not give you uncontrollable Hulk-like aggression. While you may indeed find a slight increase in your aggressive tendencies, this is something that can be easily mollified. Stacking Trenbolone & Dosage A first cycle of Trenbolone should comprise a 75mg serving every other day, with 100mg every other day recommended as common place after that. Going above the dosage is only something you should consider only if you are an elite bodybuilder, as such a high dosage would be too much to handle for the everyday gym goer. When it comes to stacks, typically Trenbolone should not be taken on its own. Alone, the steroid will shut down your body’s natural production of testosterone, therefore you should be stacking it with another form of testosterone. So, there we have it. If you’re looking for a ridiculously effective way to turbocharge lean muscle gains, strength and fat loss over a short period of time, look no further than Trenbolone, the ‘King of Steroids’. When it comes to packing on muscle and getting shredded, Trenbolone really is in a league of its own. If you have any questions on Trenbolone, I’d love to hear from, just leave me a comment below. Warning: Before you decide to invest in Trenbolone, make sure you first check the laws in your country pertaining to steroids. While it is legal and sold over the counter in many counties across the world, in America, for example, use and possession of Trenbolone is a federal offence.

Ways to Keep Body Fat Low during a Bulking Cycle

A bulking cycle is an anabolic steroid cycle which is done for increasing the muscle weight and mass. The bulking up can be done at the gym, when you are working most of your upper parts. A bulking cycle is usually a method which is improving your muscle mass in a very short period of time. One of the problems when starting a bulking cycle is the fat. During one of these periods, your body will need to replace fat with muscle mass and for that you will need to eat. Some people are really worried because they are afraid that they will never get rid of fat, even if they inject steroids and they workout at the gym very hard. The normal level of fat maintained under control for gaining muscle mass is one of the most popular methods of bulking cycle used by bodybuilders. The necessity of cardio exercises Some people might consider those exercises useless. For example, why would a professional bodybuilder go out for jogging when he already has the muscles that he needs? First of all, he needs to maintain his muscle mass and to avoid getting fat, he is doing all kind of cardio exercises, and jogging is one of the best. Running 4 or 5 kilometers per day will burn a lot of calories. During a bulking cycle, you will certainly have to follow a strict diet. You should avoid as much as you can to eat fat or junk food. However, your body will need proteins, which are very helpful for building your muscle mass and you can get a big amount of proteins from chicken meat, eggs and cheese. You will also need fruits, which are providing a lot of vitamins, such as Vitamin C. Eating a lot of fruits during the bulking cycle will provide the necessary energy for working out. What kind of training you should do while taking a bulking cycle Even if you take steroids, your muscles will not appear from nothing. You will have to workout really hard in order to get your muscles and to maintain them. When starting a bulking cycle, remember that you should do a training which involves multiple muscle groups, such as back and arms. There are a lot of interesting training methods from which you can work multiple groups of muscles. Once again, it’s very important to keep the level of calories under control. What you should do when you notice that you’re getting fat During a bulking cycle you might notice that you’ve added a few kilos. You don’t have to worry about that, because it’s something normal. Your body will need fat in order to build muscle mass. That’s why the bulking cycles are designed to get you fat, but you will have to control that. By training, doing cardio exercises and following a strict diet, you will immediately notice that it’s not very hard to get muscles, even if you’re fat. Fastest bulking cycle method The fastest method to get muscles is by taking anabolic steroids. You should however visit a doctor before starting a bulking cycle. You can also discuss with a gym trainer or with a bodybuilder. They will tell you what kind of steroids you should take, or inject, what kind of exercises you should do, and what you are allowed to eat during and after the bulking cycle. Sustanon, Dianabol, and Deca Durabolin are Mass Building Anabolic Steroids that work great and provide amazing results. The list can be continued with Testosterone, Trenbolone and many other steroids. With proper diet and training routine you can manage to keep fat level low. Bear in mind that some fat gains however would be. Your main worry should be to not exceed a normal level, otherwise burning it out once the cycle is finished will be difficult. Also you have to know that some steroids may cause water retention more than others. More than this, this effect may occur when stacked with another steroid, so make sure you get yourself very well educated about anabolics characteristics before setting up a cycle. Have you gained fat when taken steroids? If yes, how much and how you deal with it? Please share your thoughts with us to help each other avoid mistakes and build lean muscle mass.

How beneficial are intermediate-length steroids and if they are at all?

Being a steroid user, this question have probably crossed your mind and not once. When it comes to steroid cycles they are split into beginner, intermediate and advanced rounds. While first and third are quite popular among steroid users, the second version not rarely raise many questions. Is a 3-7 weeks cycle good for your health? Is it long enough to promote noticeable results? Aren’t 2 weeks or 8-10 weeks a better choice? These are just few of them. You may have others. That’s why further in this article we will try to find the right answer so that next time you will know why to make you choice for one or another cycle. How long a short steroid cycle is? A short steroid cycle consists of 14 days of steroids administration after which comes at least the same length off period. Orals steroids are usually organized in short cycles due to negative effects on liver. Other reasons for selecting them are: -when persons want modest gains from steroids; -when bodybuilders want to reach their maximal muscle development fast; -when long steroid user want to reduce health risks; -when long steroid user want to stop steroid use. How long a long steroid cycle is? It has at least 8 weeks and goes to maximum 12 weeks. Not few are cases when users go with longer cycles, which we don’t advise you to do. Professional bodybuilders and athletes are usually involved in long steroid cycles. The main goal being building as much strength and muscle mass at possibile. Intermediate-length cycles have a 3-7 weeks duration and and is skeptically seen by most of steroid user. Maybe this is because they are just got used to a short/long steroid cycles and don’t see the odds in using such one. When to use intermediate-length cycle? The truth is that short cycles require fewer time for recovery, while long ones keep users off for longer period. An intermediate cycle is a good decision when fast increase in muscle mass is wanted, but recovery time is kept as short as possible. People get used to idea that for big gains long cycle are needed while short ones are not so productive, but safer. Since the 8-12 weeks cycle are highly common requests, no wonder that forums are full of these schemes. Few are those who ask for a 3-6 cycles steroid, hence less info on this subject is available. Ask a professional and you will be told that as long as steroids are used intelligently, according to real needs and taking in consideration your body characteristics and risks, the number of weeks you are on doesn’t play the biggest role. Remember that proper workout and diet helps to reach your goal and not steroids use alone. The use of steroids during entire training program is not essential. Instead, do use steroids in weeks with higher demand or where gains are more possible. In these cases intermediate-length steroids are good option to take into consideration. What anabolic steroids are best to use during intermediate cycles? In one of our previous blog post we talked about “Intermediate steroid cycles“. Click the post title to read it entirely. Then we mentioned several questions that every steroid user have to ask himself in order to understand his level as a steroid user. It’s quite interesting, but i would like to mention here mass building anabolic steroids best to use during intermediate cycles. I.Testosterone Cypionate, Dianabol, Winstrol and Clomid stack. II.Testosterone (Cypionate or Enanthate),Deca-durabolin, Dianabol and Arimidex stack III. Testosterone Propionate with Trenbolone – Acetate, Winstrol and Arimidex. IV) Deca-Durabolin, Equipoise and Dianabol steroid cycle. Detailed information on each of them find on the following link:http://www.whatsteroids.com/steroids/intermediate-steroid-cycles Related post: Elucidation Of Best Bulking Steroids Bottom line Intermediate-length steroid cycle can be as beneficial as long or short cycles if you do it right. Choose it if you are following a consecutive training program and need help in some weeks.

A Closer Look at Trenbolone

Not too many steroids have an air of mystique about them quite like trenbolone. It is one of those agents that you will hear talked up aggressively by some guy in the gym, to later find he has not even tried it himself yet. The bodybuilding literature is full of strong, unusual, and often-inaccurate statements about this drug, and consequently an air of misunderstanding has begun to cloud our view of trenbolone. The unusual history of this compound, including prolonged periods of very limited availability and high selling prices, has no doubt played a part in shaping the view of this steroid in the minds of athletes. It seems when anything is out of reach, overly expensive or both, people start looking at it in a different way. I therefore thought it would be a good idea to take a closer look at the physical properties of trenbolone, as well as its current state of availability and use. Trenbolone Structure Structurally trenbolone is a derivative of nandrolone, carrying two additional double carbon bonds at positions 9 and 11 (hence the prefix "tren", short for tri-en). The activity of trenbolone differs from that of its parent hormone considerably however. To begin with, trenbolone cannot aromatize to estrogen. The delta-9 group present on its structure occupies a bond necessary for aromatization of the A-Ring to be possible. Unless this group is removed metabolically, which it does not appear to be, estrogen synthesis is impossible in the body. Although nandrolone is a weak substrate for aromatase, estrogen levels can still rise during use. With trenbolone we actually expect a lowering of serum estrogen levels, as it should suppress endogenous testosterone release (the primary substrate for estradiol in men). Androgenic Activity Although derived from nandrolone, trenbolone is comparatively far more androgenic than this steroid. In fact it is several times stronger in this regard than our primary androgen testosterone as well. The first contributing factor to this of course is that trenbolone is a strong binder of the androgen receptor. This trait is also characteristic of its parent nandrolone, which is several times more active than testosterone in this regard. Androgen binding is in fact further enhanced by the introduction of double bonds in delta-9,11, which makes trenbolone an even more potent agonist of the androgen receptor than nandrolone. Perhaps more significant though is the fact that unlike nandrolone, the strong receptor binding potency of trenbolone is not diminished in androgen sensitive tissues by 5-alpha reductase. Trenbolone does not seem to undergo 5-alpha reduction in humans to any appreciable degree at all, which is evidenced by the fact that the major urinary metabolites of trenbolone all possess the original tri-en structure with an intact delta-4 group. So trenbolone retains its original potency as it enters cells in androgen target tissues with high 5AR concentrations, as this enzyme is not affecting it. These factors work together to allow trenbolone to be a potently androgenic steroid, instead of a primarily anabolic one in nature like nandrolone. Progestational Activity It has been reported in other bodybuilding literature that trenbolone does not exhibit any activity as a progestin in the body. I am not certain where this belief originated, as trenbolone does appear to exhibit the classic progesterone receptor binding ability that is characteristic of nandrolone and its derivatives. One study looking at the bovine uterine progesterone receptor for example found trenbolone to be a very potent binder, startlingly even more so than progesterone itself. Another looking at the binding of various compounds to the androgen, estrogen, progestin, mineral corticoid and glucocorticoid receptors found trenbolone to be a more potent binder of the progestin receptor than nandrolone, a steroid normally noted for its usual activity in this regard. What does this mean for trenbolone? I don't think it really means that much. Trenbolone clearly doesn't cause gyno, water retention or fat buildup, which one might attribute to estrogenic or progestational activity. So whatever slight action it does have as a progestin on paper doesn't amount to all that much in the real world. The absence of estrogen may be a significant factor, as progesterone is believed to cause gyno by enhancing estrogen's stimulation of mammary gland growth. Perhaps when trenbolone is taken with other aromatizable compounds it could affect a person's sensitivity level to gyno and water/fat retention. This seems logical, at least in a technical sense, although admittedly I have seen no evidence to support this. Mass or Cutting Agent The potently androgenic and non-aromatizing nature of trenbolone makes it an extremely effective hardening and cutting agent. In fact, it is thought of as unmatched in its capacity as a body-sculpting steroid. Many competitive bodybuilders similarly find it indispensable to any good pre-contest cutting stack. For this type of purpose I doubt another steroid would serve you better. Many people do additionally find they make very good muscle gains with trenbolone. It is a potent muscle-builder, although we should probably not consider it an ideal mass-builder when used alone. The absence of estrogen is an important factor, as this trait seems integral in this type of steroid. This probably has to do not only with water retention but also interactions between estrogen and muscle glucose utilization, GH release and androgen receptor proliferation. Today we are finally starting to understand why this hormone is needed for optimal growth. Trenbolone is probably still the most potent muscle-building agent of all the non-estrogenic steroids though, and admittedly is quite unusual in its potency in this regard. But I would still think that if mass were the goal and you were choosing only one steroid, testosterone, Dianabol or Anadrol would be more productive every time in terms of overall size, weight and muscle mass gain. Availability As mentioned in the opening of this article, trenbolone has been plagued by periods of manufacturing inconsistency, high prices and scarce availability since it first hit the market in the early 80's. There is probably little need to revisit in detail the rise and fall of Finajet in the 1980's, or the demise of Parabolan in 1997. Clearly the colorful history of trenbolone is well discussed. But today's situation is no less interesting, as we are in a unique situation. For the first time in four years we have a legitimate injectable trenbolone again, as the Mexican veterinary drug firm Laboratories Ttokkyo has recently started producing Trenbol, a 10 ml bottle of trenbolone acetate (TA) in the strength of 75mg/ml. This product is not cheap, and usually sells for upwards of $150 a bottle. Reportedly Denkall is working on a similar item, and there are some reliable underground generics floating about as well that sell for a better price and usually supply a comparable amount of TA. There have been some questions about raw material supply lately though, and whether or not both types of product would remain on the market. This discussion was heightened by the recent removal of Trenbol from Ttokkyo's website, which is making a lot of people nervous that this product may be on the way out. Hopefully this is just a website problem and not a repeat of the fate that fell on Finajet and Parabolan. If these products do dry up, trenbolone will still be available, but in the form of cattle

Fat Loss Steroids

Quite often anabolic androgenic steroids are placed in two classes; bulking steroids or fat loss steroids/cutting steroids. While either phrase largely implies the desire behind anabolic use it can often at times be a bit inaccurate. The fact of the matter is very simple, most anabolic androgenic steroids can achieve either purpose; while the primary purpose of many steroids can vary, most possess a level of both qualities including body fat reduction; varying to a degree. For example, there are certain steroids that are far better served for adding mass, steroids that are far better served for increasing strength or performance. The same can be applied to fat loss steroids; while anabolic androgenic steroids do not carry with them the primary purpose of burning fat some will do so in a secondary fashion to a higher degree. What we’ve done here is listed some of the most common questions, myths and often confused ideas and followed it with the absolute truth. By following this list you will have a much better understanding of the concept of fat burning steroids. One of the most common reasons anyone uses anabolic androgenic steroids is for the purpose of leaning out and cutting up. With this being a common primary purpose there is a strong desire to ensure you’re using the best fat loss steroids available. Not only are the introduction to fat loss steroids important to you in achieving this purpose but so are the performance enhancing drugs (PED’s) you will add in addition. Let’s be very clear on one important factor regarding anabolic androgenic steroids; while they may possess fat burning qualities none of them serve this primary purpose therefor none of them can be labeled fat loss steroids in a primary sense. Anabolic androgenic steroids largely serve four general primary purposes: Increasing Strength Increasing Muscle Mass Increasing Athletic Performance Increasing the “Hardness” of a Physique While these are the primary purposes they will vary to a degree from one steroid to the next; some steroids serve one purpose more than another while others serve an entirely different primary function. Even so, a secondary characteristic of many can be fat burning and thereby it is these we may generally label fat loss steroids. Increasing Fat Loss Steroids Abilities While the primary purpose is not fat loss but a secondary function, additional non-steroidal drugs can greatly benefit and add to this effect. Of those belonging to the hormone class, without question the best hormone we can add as well as the best PED of all to serve this purpose is Human Growth Hormone (HGH.) Not only can HGH greatly increase fat burning but it can further make the steroids we use more effective including their secondary traits. Other commonly used PED’s used in this purpose most largely include Clenbuterol (Clen) and Cytomel (T3.) While neither is a steroidal drug, the former being a bronchial medication and the latter a thyroid medication both can be positive additions to a cutting cycle and increase the amounts of fat lost. While neither of these will change the structure of function of the steroids used, in a sense, due to the mode of actions by each PED being used, including the steroids, by this mode of action when coupled together, our anabolics become stronger fat loss steroids. How to Stack Fat Loss Steroids In most cases you will need to build your cycle around testosterone; not only is testosterone an important part of most cycles it is all-around the most efficient and effective steroid known to man. Beyond testosterone there are many additional items we can add that may more or less fall into the fat loss steroids camp. Steroids such as Trenbolone and Stanozolol are always top choices, as can be Equipoise and Anavar. Beyond the steroids, effective fat burners as mentioned above are always a helpful tool in addition; cycles and stacks with these items, in conjunction with solid anabolic androgenic steroids and HGH will prove to be the ultimate fat burning machines.

Testosterone Suspension Cycles and Doses

Testosterone Suspension is the purest form of testosterone one can obtain as its entire mass is pure testosterone and the only form that can boast such a claim. As evident by its name Testosterone Suspension is suspended in water where as other forms are suspended in oil; this is an important factor to consider as this water suspension form is far more painful than an oil-based testosterone. Although its function is the same as any testosterone form, due to its nature this is not a steroid that will be used by many individuals as we will see. In most cases only advanced and experienced anabolic steroid users will ever administer this form of testosterone. Further, again by its nature Testosterone-Suspension does not provide a lot of advantages for the everyday gym rat, those who make up the majority of anabolic steroid users and for that reason is rarely found in their cycles. Nevertheless, it is a powerful steroid and one more powerful than any testosterone form. In terms of gaining mass and strength the benefits based on its attributes are the same with Testosterone Suspension as they are with any other form of testosterone. However, because this form is ester free giving it more of a punch on a milligram for milligram basis we can expect the effects of these attributes to be increased. While this steroid can be used for either bulking or cutting cycles many who use it will only do so during a bulking phase as water retention can be a problem due to the high rate of aromatase; however, especially in the competitive bodybuilding world many competitors will use Testosterone-Suspension during a cutting cycle in preparation for a contest due to the need to reap powerfully fast effects as well as the site-injection benefits. Testosterone-Suspension can aptly increase the size of the injected muscle in the short run which can be at times a welcomed effect; assuming you can tolerate the pain associated with injecting this steroid. An often overlooked attribute regarding Testosterone Suspension is detectability; because it is ester free it clears the system very rapidly making detection all the more difficult. In a tested athlete this proves to be very advantageous as Testosterone-Suspension can only be detected for approximately two days after an injection. This by no means gets the athlete completely out of the water but without question provides a strong advantage. Testosterone Suspension Cycles and Doses Most who use Testosterone Suspension will do so for much shorter periods than other injectable testosterone forms. Even though the attributes lead to great benefits, largely the same ones can be obtained through any other form of testosterone. Those who use Suspension for bulking purposes will generally do so in short burst, 4-8 weeks is common with 8 weeks generally being the max and daily doses of 50-100mg being common. Most who practice this method generally couple their Suspension with other testosterone forms and only add Testosterone Suspension in short burst, often to bust through a plateau. For a cutting cycle or competition cycle of any kind many athletes will use Suspension for approximately 4 weeks to give them a slight added edge in conjunction with other anabolic steroids. Always understand the truth, testosterone carries with it a risk to reward ratio that is very real. The more Testosterone Suspension you use the greater your reward will be. However, the more Testosterone Suspension you use the greater your risk will be as well; in the end the risk you decide to take is on you and you alone. As for your Testosterone Suspension cycle, most will find 8 weeks of use to be the bear minimum with 16 weeks being far more efficient. Regardless of your duration of use a solid post cycle therapy (PCT) plan must be in place. Because Testosterone Suspension is very fast acting, assuming your cycle ends with only fast acting gear your PCT will necessarily begin almost immediately post final steroid administration. However, most will not end a cycle with Suspension only; if your cycle ends with all fast acting gear start PCT approximately 3 days after final injection but if it includes long ester based steroids as well you will need to wait approximately 2-3 weeks.

Anavar Results

The anabolic steroid Oxandrolone is an immensely popular steroid in the performance enhancing world by both men and women. Commonly known by its most popular trade name Anavar, it is one of the most highly desired steroids on the market. By-in-large, Anavar results can be seen most effectively during a cutting cycle as it does not significantly promote mass in men. However, through use during a bulking cycle by women, because females are far more sensitive to the hormone, with proper diet and training the use of Anavar results in a more muscular athlete. Even so, females will still benefit from this hormone far more during a cutting cycle than an off-season bulker. Even so, there are some very common myths and misconceptions regarding the Oxandrolone hormone and it is time we laid some of the more ridiculous ones aside. Through this process, you'll have a better understanding of the hormone, and further, be able to determine if Anavar results are worth your time. Myth 1: Anavar results in no testosterone suppression. Truth 1: If you supplement with anabolic steroids your natural testosterone production will be suppressed. Because Oxandrolone is such a mild anabolic steroid, for some reason many believe testosterone suppression does not occur. This is simply not true. Granted, total suppression will not be as strong as it would be with many other steroids, but it will occur nonetheless. For this reason, male performance enhancers are encouraged to supplement with exogenous testosterone when Oxandrolone is used. Not only will this provide you with the testosterone your body needs, but it will ensure your Anavar results are all they can be, as testosterone itself is highly anabolic. Myth 2: Adverse Anavar results include Gynecomastia and excess water retention. Truth 2: This is not only a myth but an outright lie. Gynecomastia and water retention are both impossible with the Anavar steroid as it does not aromatize nor carry any estrogenic traits. If you fall prey to Gynecomastia, it will be due to another steroid you're possibly using. As for water retention, it could be caused by another steroid that does aromatize or it could be caused by you overeating, especially if you're eating too many carbohydrates. Myth 3: Oxandrolone is not toxic to the liver. Truth 3: Because Anavar is such a mild anabolic steroid, many believe liver toxicity is not a concern. The truth is absolute; like most oral anabolic steroids Anavar belongs to the C17-aa family and is, therefore, toxic. It is true, Oxandrolone is far less toxic than most oral anabolic steroids; far less toxic than many over the counter medications and far less damaging than excess alcohol consumption, but this does not mean it does not carry a toxic nature. There's no two ways about it, the use of Anavar results in your liver enzyme levels increasing. Once use is discontinue, assuming you have been responsible with your use and have not caused any other undue stress to the liver, your enzyme levels will return to normal shortly after use is discontinued, and no permanent damage will be done. Myth 4: Anavar results in zero virilization in women. Truth 4: It is true, Anavar is a very female friendly, and for the vast majority of women if they keep their use at a responsible level they will experience no virilization symptoms. However, if your dose goes too high, you can guarantee the Anavar results you see will not be the ones you desire. Further, and this is extremely important to remember, because we are all unique individuals, we will all respond to the hormone in a unique way. For this reason, some women, even with responsible use may fall prey to virilization symptoms. If this occurs, and if the woman discontinues use as soon as the symptoms begin to show they will fade away, and she will be fine. Myth 5: Anavar results in very few benefits because it is so mild. Truth 5: There's no way around this truth, the Oxandrolone hormone is much milder than most anabolic steroids. For the man looking for a powerful steroid, this is not the best choice to make. However, it can be an excellent addition to a well-planned cycle. In many ways, the best way to view Oxandrolone use as it pertains to male athletes is supplemental steroid use to a supplemental steroid plan. Simply put, view it as an addition to an already well-planned stack, sort of as a bonus item. As for women, the exact opposite can be said; in-fact, Anavar alone can bring about everything the female athlete is after. This is not to say it is the only performance enhancing tool she can use, but without question, it is primary.

Forms of Human Growth Hormone (HGH)

Growth Hormone is a polypeptide Hormone. This means it is composed of a long chain of amino acids, 191 to be exact. Under normal physiologic conditions, Growth Hormone is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. This is a gland that lies at the base of the brain in a bony cavity called the Sella Turcica. In addition to Growth Hormone, the anterior pituitary also secretes prolactin, thyroid stimulating Hormone, luteinizing Hormone, follicle stimulating Hormone, and adrenal corticotropic Hormone. The secretion of Growth Hormone by the pituitary gland is initiated by the hypothalamus, another gland in the brain that lies right next to the pituitary. The hypothalamus initiates Growth Hormone secretion by secreting Growth Hormone releasing Hormone (GHRH); at the same time it stops secreting a Growth Hormone inhibitory Hormone called somatostatin. When somatostatin is turned off and GHRH is turned on, the pituitary will release Growth Hormone in bursts of activity. These bursts of Growth Hormone release occur primarily during deep stages of sleep, such as stage 3 and stage 4. Once released in the blood, Growth Hormone is very short lived. It is generally completely metabolized and gone within a half-hour. During that time, however, it manages to reach the liver and many other cells in the body, and induce them to make another polypeptide Hormone called Insulin-like Growth Factor One (IGF-1). It is really IGF-1 that travels around to the various tissues of the body to effect most of the benefits that we attribute to Growth Hormone. The secretion of Growth Hormone itself is regulated by a classic biofeedback loop. This means when levels of Growth Hormone in the blood reach a certain threshold, Growth Hormone stimulates receptors in the pituitary to stop further Growth Hormone secretion. It also stimulates receptors in the hypothalamus to stop GHRH and turn on somatostatin. IGF-1, which goes up in response to Growth Hormone, also feeds back on the pituitary and hypothalamus to help control Growth Hormone secretion. This is nature's system of checks and balances to assure we don't have too much of any one Hormone. USES OF Growth Hormone Growth Hormone was initially used for children of short stature who are Growth Hormone deficient, either because of an inactive pituitary, a tumor of the pituitary, or destruction of the pituitary by surgery or by radiation to remove a tumor. The other pituitary Hormones were replaced along with GH. Growth Hormone was used only until the children reached an acceptable adult height and then it was stopped because it was thought to be useful only for Growth. The other pituitary Hormones, however, which were thought to be more critical, were continued throughout adulthood. It wasn't until much later that adult Growth Hormone deficiency was recognized to be a problem. It was discovered that adults who were deficient in Growth Hormone suffered from premature cardiovascular disease, reduced bone density, central obesity, decreased muscle mass, depressed mood, elevated levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol, slower wound healing, fatigue, poor exercise tolerance and poor immune function. At that point the use of Growth Hormone began in this unfortunate population, resulting in improvement of all of the above. It wasn't until 1990, however, that the benefits of Growth Hormone and the treatment of normal aging were recognized. The most recent new use of Growth Hormone is for the treatment of AIDS Wasting Syndrome. This is the condition of weakness, fatigue, and loss of muscle mass in AIDS patients. Since we at Cenegenicsï¿½ specialize in metabolic and hormonal control of aging, we will limit this discussion to the use of Growth Hormone in the treatment of normal aging. SOMATOPAUSE Somatopause is an extrapolation of the term "menopause." Menopause is the condition in women whereby the ovaries atrophy and cease to produce the sex Hormones Estrogen, Progesterone and Testosterone. Somatopause signifies the gradual decline in Growth Hormone production by the adult pituitary gland in both men and women that begins at approximately age 30 and continues at a steady rate throughout life. The decline in Growth Hormone level that occurs with Somatopause is accompanied by deterioration in the structure and functional capacity of our body, which is ultimately devastating to the Human condition. In fact, there is absolutely no difference between the clinical signs and symptoms of aging and those of adult Growth Hormone deficiency described above. The late Dr. Daniel Rudman first described the benefits of Growth Hormone therapy in normal aging adults. Dr. Rudman published a landmark article in the New England Journal of Medicine on July 7th, 1990. In his article, Dr. Rudman showed that by putting healthy aging men on Growth Hormone for six months, he was able to decrease their body fat by 14.4%, increase muscle mass by 8.8%, increase skin thickness by 7.1%, and increase lumbar bone density by 1.6%. These exciting findings clearly inaugurated the movement to supplement Growth Hormone in healthy aging adults, which today is becoming commonplace. BENEFITS The benefits of Growth Hormone use in somatopause which have been clearly documented in the medical literature include the following: a decrease in body fat, an increase in muscle mass, thickening of the skin with decreased wrinkling, improvement in the cholesterol profile, an increase in bone density, enhanced feeling of well being, a decrease in the waist to hip ratio (meaning fat is removed primarily from around the waist where it is associated with a high risk of coronary disease), improvement in aerobic capacity, enhanced immune function and a decrease in the frequency of illness. The changes that our patients at Cenegenicsï¿½ seem to be most pleased with are the elevation in mood, increase in energy level, improved sleep, decrease in body fat, increase in muscle mass and enhanced ability to handle adversity with confidence and optimism. SIDE-EFFECTS Side effects of Growth Hormone are generally mild and are largely associated with salt and water retention. The minority of patients that experience this typically complain of mild weight gain from water retention associated with a vague feeling of puffiness. This is sometimes accompanied by joint discomfort, particularly in the fingers, with a feeling of tightness when making a fist. Other joints may also become uncomfortable. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a well-known side effect of Growth Hormone that was more common in the early days when Growth Hormone was given in higher dose with lower frequency. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is also a function of fluid retention, which causes water to accumulate in the closed carpal tunnel compartment of the wrist, compressing the median nerve. This results in numbness and tingling in the palm and fingers. These side effects are easily remedied by abstaining from Growth Hormone for about a week, and then resuming the treatment with a 20% dose reduction. Older patients are more subject to side effects and are generally started at a low dose of Growth Hormone than younger adults. Another potential side-effect of Growth Hormone is the elevation of blood sugar. Growth Hormone mobilizes body fat, causing our fat cells to break themselves down and release free fatty acids into the blood stream. These free fatty acids are energy molecules which can be taken up by organs and many of our organs to be used for energy. When our muscles are consuming free fatty acids as a fuel, they are far less interested in sugar, therefore they tend to resist the effects of insulin, and extract less sugar from the blood. At the same time, Growth Hormone can increase glucose output from the liver to the blood. This combination of effects can raise blood sugar and raise insulin levels, neither of which is good. Fortunately, this is only a problem in people who eat a diet high in sugar and starch, and do little exercise. At Cenegenicsï¿½ we teach our patients to eat a low glycemic diet (low in sugar and starch) and exercise regularly. The effect of our nutrition and exercise program in lowering blood glucose and insulin levels far outweighs the effect of Growth Hormone in raising glucose and insulin levels. The net effect in our patients, therefore, is the lowering of glucose and insulin levels. This is a very health-promoting benefit that prevents disease and extends life span. SUMMARY Originally taken only from Human cadavers, and used only in children of short stature, Growth Hormone has had an interesting and controversial history. Fortunately, the understanding of its importance in adult physiology came at approximately the same time as recombinant DNA technology, which led to greater availability along with virtual safety. Soon after this, the comparison was made between Growth Hormone deficient adults and aging adults. Because of the tremendous similarities, Growth Hormone began to be used and soon gained great popularity in the treatment of normal aging. Growth Hormone is clearly useful and therapeutic in this regard as long as it is used in a carefully monitored, professionally managed program. Any Growth Hormone program must include proper nutrition and exercise with emphasis on a low glycemic diet.
