Steroids in layman’s terms are strength enhancing drugs taken by body builders and athletes who want to perform extraordinarily in their competition. They normally fall under two categories, this is anabolic and corticosteroids. Corticosteroids include drugs like cortisone, which many doctors prescribe to treat body inflammation. They are used by doctors to control conditions like asthma and lupus. They are not very harmful if they are taken with a doctor’s prescription. Anabolic steroids or androgenic steroids on the other hand are synthetic hormones enhances the ability of the body to form muscles and prevent them from breaking down. This is the reason why a few people in athletics use them so that they can improve on their performance, be it running faster, lifting heavy weights, swimming faster, cycling faster, jumping higher, or simply having a lot of endurance in whichever sports. Using this ...

Bodybuilders are always striving to be the largest man in the room. To achieve this feat, they often abuse the largest organ in their body- the liver. With the extreme steps (food, vitamins, supplements, and steroids) that come with bodybuilding success, the liver is often exposed to extreme work. Taking a few extra steps to protect the liver is a wise move for any bodybuilder. First and foremost, for bodybuilders, a healthy liver is required to build muscle and burn fat. Among its functions, the liver processes toxins and handles protein and fat synthesis. A healthy liver will burn fat and allow proteins to function in the muscle building process. A weak liver – or one, which is overwhelmed with toxins – will not be able to complete these tasks efficiently. Oral steroids are very hard ...

The use of anabolic steroids especially those with high concentration levels of androgen and testosterone is a very prevalent trend in the American body building society. The modern desperate quest for a perfectly well built body especially with a compact six pack is a lethal bug that has bit America hard. Both males and females have today created a giant perpetual market for anabolic steroid’s abuse. Much of the abuse is precarious simply due to androgen addiction among most athletes especially body builders. Body builder’s black market supply of androgen steroids is now at epidemic proportions, considering the potential addiction. Numerous research studies carried out among high school and college boys, have established repetitively that 4-12% of the boys have already used androgens for at least once in their lifetime. Contemporary poll results indicate that the illegal use of testosterone replacement ...

Tackling diet is a difficult matter. There are so many factors involved in stimulating fat loss, maintaining metabolic health and getting lean enough to kick the snot out of your nemesis in a posedown, that any edge is crucial.Enter the glycemic index. You may have heard of it, but I’ll you don’t practice it like you should, or even know what it can do for you. Truth is, not all carbs are created equal. Because bodybuilders are simple creatures, they’d rather just go Atkins on the situation and cut out carbs altogether so it’s easier to remember what to eat. But that isn’t serving the bodybuilding physique at its best. The Glycemic Index (henceforth called GI, so I don’t have to keep writing it out) is a way of ranking carbohydrates based on their effect on our blood glucose levels. Some ...

This important amino acid is manufactured in the body and is therefore not a mandatory requirement in the diet. Though there are lots of foods that supply the body with glutamine, the body still requires manufacturing lots of this amino acid because of the sheer magnitude of demand. The body’s main site of glutamine manufacture is in the muscle cells. Glutamine is made through the chemical reaction that involves the combination of ammonia and glutamate (an amino acid). The manufacture of glutamine takes place on a very large scale such that this substance occupies more than sixty percent of the storage space set aside for free amino-acids in the muscle cells. It is these large reserves that supply glutamine to the blood plasma and to the other tissue sites that require the same. In previous times it was thought that glutamine ...

If any single word was to be used to describe the anabolic steroid Estandron, a good choice might be ‘sloppy. Estrandon is a blended mix of three different esters of testosterone base, Testosterone Isocaproate, Testosterone Phenyl propionate, and Testosterone Propionate, along with an added female hormone, estradiol. This blend is often used in stacks calling for testosterone in bodybuilders and athletes looking to build mass and strength. Why would we call it ‘sloppy’? Estandron is similar to Sustanon in its function and effects. The bodybuilder gets big – very big - but tends to lose tightness and sharpness as well. Male bodybuilders who take it experience a weight gain of 5 to 15 pounds very quickly, much of which is water. Their strength on most lifts will climb greatly, particularly on the compound movements. ...

Steroids are the major agents of functional change in the body. Steroids contain testosterone while women’s bodies don’t. Their reproductive system is bound to change because testosterone is a sex hormone. When the testosterone is synthetic this compounds the problem because the does not respond the same way to such steroids the way it does to the natural ones. There is also the risk that the features that define the female gender in women change after indulgence in steroid use and abuse. When the characteristics that define the female gender in a woman are interfered with, the resulting situation is called virilization. It is also associated with the emergence of the characteristics of the members of the male gender. The features to look for therefore are those that we always associate with men. It is a rather sad situation which ought ...

Whenever a person uses steroids, the person’s testosterone levels rise. The body has two responses to this action. First, the endocrine system halts natural testosterone production from the testes. Next, the body’s levels of estrogen production increase, as they must stay in line with the T-levels. This creates negative side effects, particularly one side effect known as Gynecomastia, or “gyno” for short. To combat this, most intelligent bodybuilders employ a technique known as post-cycle therapy, or PCT. This involves the use of several compounds, which block estrogen production in the body. Chrysin and Saw Palmetto are two such compounds. Chrysin, most simply put, stops most of the negative effects of testosterone supplementation on the body. Chrysin tells the pituitary gland that estrogen levels aren’t so high – so the pituitary doesn’t halt testosterone production. ...
