Just about every natural bodybuilder looks at steroids as a magical solution to every shortcoming they have in their bodybuilding lives. If they can’t manage to make it to the gym five days per week, it’s because they don’t have steroids to assist with their training abilities. If they don’t make consistent gains each month on their bench press numbers, it’s because they’ve probably reached their natural ceiling for development. If they don’t get enough sleep to grow. If they can’t manage to consume the 300 or more grams of protein requisite for growth, it’s probably acceptable because without steroids, they can’t absorb that much protein anyway. People who don’t use steroids, but blame their lack of use for all of their shortcomings in the gym, are doing themselves, and their sport, a great disservice. ...

Steroids weren’t always that big of a deal back when everyone could get them. They were treated with the same zeal that many people exhibit for items such as protein powder, ephedrine, and other legal compounds today. They were sometimes a bit costly, their use was a little confusing, and they delivered some decent results for those people willing to put in the work in terms of training and diet. Sure, some people used them recreationally for vanity reasons without engaging in the bodybuilding lifestyle, but their use wasn’t all that big of a deal. That is, until the media ran with the story, terrified parents and energized young users in high school sports, which led to Congress getting involved in limiting access of Americans to anabolic steroids. The Steroid Control Act changed everything, in terms of ...

The use of steroids comes with a great amount of risk. Legally, you risk your freedom by attempting to purchase them from an overseas or domestic source. The penalties are right up there with cocaine and heroin. In terms of your health, the drugs you buy from anonymous sources online are very likely to be tainted, watered-down, or otherwise impure in some manner. You also risk your reputation and standing in the community should you be arrested for your actions. It’s not easy or care-free buying steroids. Back in the day (okay, five years ago), when a bodybuilder wanted steroids but didn’t want to take the legal and other risks associated with buying them, he would just visit his local supplement or health food store and pick up the latest and greatest prohormone product ...

There are plenty of times and situations in life in which you will benefit tremendously from the use of anabolic steroids. If you have a muscle-wasting illness, steroids will allow you to maintain your bodyweight in the face of white blood cells attempting to do the opposite. If you are 40 years or older, AAS will give you an increased amount of testosterone in your bloodstream, which will lead to greater vitality, stamina, muscle mass and strength. If you are a person who abused hormones in your twenties, then moderate use of AAS in your 30s and beyond to maintain your altered HPTA function is very beneficial. Steroids can benefit human beings tremendously when used in moderate doses at correct times. There are some circumstances in which anabolic steroids should absolutely not be used. Here is a ...

Many bodybuilders, particularly those of the professional and top amateur variety, have a reputation for being some pretty crazy animals when it comes to the compounds they put into their bodies. Even back as far as the 1970s when drugs were just making their way into mainstream bodybuilding circles, guys would eat Dianabol by the handful all day long. In the 1990s, it was an obsession with getting extremely ripped that had some bodybuilders depriving themselves of water for weeks, and using very dangerous drugs such as EPO. The results were tragic, with many bodybuilding greats passing away immediately before or after competitions. Since then, the propensity for suicidal conditioning has lessened, but we’ve seen far more sensible use of diuretics. However, the advent of growth hormone and insulin has led to a generation of bodybuilders ...

Q: I'm on a good growth cycle of 1000 mg Test, 500 mg of Deca and 200 mg of EQ per week. Can I still do cardio 3-4 times per week while on a cycle like this? I was thinking of doing 30-45 minutes 3x a week or so.. My hope was to put on about 15 pounds of quality muscle and drop from about 15% body fat to about 8% in 12-16 weeks. Is this realistic or will it hinder my gains? A: This is the age-old question: Can one build muscle and burn fat, simultaneously? Well, it may be best answered this way: It isn't that you can't do both at the same time, but you may need to adjust your goals in terms of actual numbers and realize that you can't have it all at the same ...

Q: Someone told me about a drug called “Bromocriptine” or Parlodel. Is it a steroid? And if so, how do you use it and why? A: Bromo is an anti-prolactin. Prolactin is a single-chain protein hormone closely related to growth hormone. It is secreted by so-called lactotrophs in the anterior pituitary. It is also synthesized and secreted by a broad range of other cells in the body, most prominently various immune cells, the brain and the decidua of the pregnant uterus. Prolactin is synthesized as a prohormone. But here’s the thing… Anyone who hears that something increases GH or synethsizes as a prohormone is all over it like white on rice as if that’s the end of the whole story. While we’ve heard some people report that it makes them very hard and helps minimize muscle loss from T3 use, most ...

Chemical Name:Testosterone Cypionate 75mg & Testosterone Propionate 25 mg & Dihydrotestosterone 20 mg Street Name:Sten Clinical Use: Sten is Mexico’s steroidal answer to testosterone therapy for aging men with virility problems. Bodybuilding Use: Sten is used by bodybuilders who cannot get their hands on stronger testosterone products. For that reason, it’s usually only in demand in Southern California because it’s so readily available over the border. Consider it the bastard brother of Sustanon 250. Recommended Dose: 300-500 mg per week (3-5 ampoules per week) into 3-5 separate injections. And while this is quite a bit more than you might take of Sustanon, it’s really necessary because of the weakness of the drug. Side Effects: The usual androgenic nightmares: Oily skin, acne, hair loss (balding), hair growth (body), gynecomastia, water retention, aggression. A dosing of Propecia and an anti-estrogen, can combat ...

Chemical Name: Oxandrolone Brand Name: Same as Anavar; Oxandrolone, SpA Bodybuilding Use: A mild oral steroid that is 17-Alpha-alkylated and, therefore, more liver toxic than other oral steroids. However, since this is the newest version and brand name of Anavar, most bodybuilders know it to be one of the mildest anabolic steroids available. It is great for cutting and is something women often have used to get ready for a competition with little or no visual side effects or masculinizing effects. Oxanabol is one of the first new Oxandrolones, besides Paper-Var, in a good many years. Bodybuilders and powerlifters like Oxandrolone for 3 reasons: 1. It causes great strength gains by stimulating phosphocreatine synthesis in the muscle cell without depositing water into the joints and muscles. 2. It combines well with Halotestin and proves effective for a hard look. Same with Oxanabol ...

Have you heard about the former action movie star who was arrested overseas about a year back for attempting to smuggle 48 vials of growth hormone into a foreign country? He claimed it was prescribed and for medical use, but he was carrying enough to put ten pounds of muscle on every athlete on the Mr. Olympia stage! How about the bodybuilding legend from the 1990's whose ill-fated comeback two years ago was halted when he was arrested in the airport carrying a “personal stash” of chemicals for the bodybuilding show he had arrived in the nation in which to compete? While movie stars and professional bodybuilders may draw more attention than you, your risk is still considerable when moving steroids into another country. Here are some factors to consider. Send it to yourself This is a risky ...
