Heart disease is a monster. It will kill one-half of the people reading this article. It’s the number one killer of Americans each year. As we age, more and more of our resources should be devoted to avoiding heart disease, and we should do more and more things to help facilitate healthy heart function. Testosterone supplementation, particularly in the form of HRT (hormone replacement therapy) may go a long way in helping to preserve heart health. If you’re a bodybuilder reading this, then there is a fairly good chance you already know about the other positive benefits of HRT use. You know that older patients who use even small doses of HRT see a rise in strength, lean muscle tissue, sexual drive, and energy levels, along with a decrease in body fat. These effects are ...

Should I use steroids? If you’re a young bodybuilder considering the use of anabolic steroids, then hopefully your search engine detected the opening line of this article, and persuaded you to read further. The decision to use anabolic steroids, particularly for younger men, is one that shouldn’t be taken lightly. They are very powerful and can help you to make some very serious gains in terms of muscle size and strength. However, their effects are often permanent, and will affect you in some way for the rest of your life. Here are a few simple questions you should answer before taking that first plunge (with a needle) or washing down your first oral anabolics. How old are you? If you are under the age of 18, stop reading. Steroids aren’t for you yet. Your natural testosterone ...

Are you a bodybuilder? If so, you have a sworn nemesis and you may not even know it. He’s been scheming against you behind the scenes, working to undermine your bodybuilding gains at every turn. Every time your girlfriend picks a fight with you, he’s there fanning the flames of passion. Every time your boss makes you work late so you have to skip a meal or shorten a workout, he is there, siphoning away your muscle. He’s even in the gym, standing in the corner, and he pummels you at the conclusion of every single set you do. His name is Mr. Cortisol – and he is the one who has sworn to derail your bodybuilding gains. But he can only hurt you if you let him! Rather than being an evil ...

Everyone and their mother knows about the terrific benefits of caffeine. Heck, there’s a pretty good chance that your own mother knew about the benefits of caffeine (in coffee or tea) when you were still in diapers. Bodybuilders use caffeine for a variety of purposes. The primary use is energy. Many bodybuilders need caffeine before training. They enjoy the added oxidation in the bloodstream, the thermogenic effect, and the raised energy levels. Many bodybuilders simply won’t (or can’t!) train without it. Caffeine is used by 90% of the population on a daily basis, and it’s a safe bet that much higher than 90% of bodybuilders use it each day. Then there is ephedrine. This compound is great for added energy and fat-burning, although it works in different absorption pathways than caffeine. Together, ...

Most steroid-using bodybuilders know that the normal dosing for most testosterone-based compounds is 400 to 600 mg per week. This is not only common sense, but seems to be written in just about every reputable guide and website. This standard level of dosing can deliver some negative side effects. After all, any steroid that is effective will also have side effects. Those steroids without noticeable side effects also usually have no real noticeable gain effects either. So in order to get the meaningful results of steroids, a meaningful amount of a useful compound must be used. For many users, 400 to 600 mg, the universally recommended dosage of testosterone ester, is simply not enough. There are several schools of thought when it comes to using levels of testosterone well above the recommended 400 ...

AIs, or aromatase inhibitors, have come a long way in recent years. Gone are the years where large numbers of amateur bodybuilders would suffer from ridiculous gynecomastia on show day. It’s been a decade since we’ve seen a top professional bodybuilder sporting a bad case of gyno, even though in the past we’ve seen champions like Franco and Ronnie displaying it from the winner’s circle. AIs are remarkably effective for preventing gyno when used properly. Letrozole is an effective AI used by bodybuilders for fighting the effects of post-cycle hormone fluctuations. It is at this time in which testosterone levels crash (since there is no longer an artificial T source present in the body) and estrogen levels remain artificially high. Letrozole works to eliminate the problems associated with these fluctuations. Here are a few commonly asked questions regarding ...

With all the talk in bodybuilding circles of the effectiveness of human growth hormone (HGH), many bodybuilders believe they know a lot about the drug. The storage and transport, timing, dosing, and other factors have been beaten into our heads in article after article, and many bodybuilders are fairly comfortable with it. However, the actual injection zones for HGH, as well as the technique which should be employed when making the injection, aren’t the same as with AAS. Bodybuilders using human growth hormone (HGH) need to be aware of these differences which should be practiced when using HGH, as opposed to standard testosterone injections, in order to get the most benefits possible from this very useful compound. The typical testosterone or other AAS injection takes place in areas such as the glutes, calves, triceps, biceps, shoulders, ...

Anadrol is one anabolic steroid where the laws of diminishing returns may not apply in many levels of dosing. With many steroids, including injectable testosterone, bodybuilders regularly ignore the 400 to 600 mg recommended dosage and jump into the 800 to 1400 mg weekly dosing within 2 years of starting steroids. Their bodyweight climbs, and they run a heavy cycle which keeps the gains coming for 6 to 18 months, and suddenly they become dependent upon the heavy doses just to maintain a bodyweight in the 210 to 220 range. Anadrol is a very effective steroid – and very toxic as well. It’s certainly more toxic than plain ol’ testosterone esters you’ll use separately or in conjunction with Anadrol. Studies have shown that mega-dosing with Anadrol is very effective for making strength gains, but not ...

Growth hormone, or GH, has taken the sports and medical worlds by storm in the last 5 to 7 years. In the past few years, doctors have been prescribing this useful compound to their patients to help offset the effects of aging. Patients who use GH have noticed elevated energy levels, restored libido, gains in muscle mass and strength, loss of fat, and overall improved vitality, even at low doses. Medical professionals wrote about these effects, and word quickly spread to the sporting world, which had already been quietly using GH for years with elite athletes at the Olympian level. Soon many professional and college athletes were using GH. When trainers and ex-players of professional sports were arrested for various charges, they began using their knowledge of GH use in professional sports as a bargaining ...

Listen up, men. This is your prostate talking. I’m the small organ inside you which regulates urinary and other functions. I have an evil plan. One day, I plan to kill you. Okay, take a breath. It’s okay. I’m not the type to sneak up on you while you’re bench pressing and drop a weight on your head. And I’m certainly not the kind of guy who would spike your Dianabol with arsenic. No, my plan for your demise is much more treacherous. I’m going to lie in wait inside of you. I’m going to stay quiet for about fifty years. Then I will grow. Half of you will see me growing by age 50, and the other half of you will see it later. If you give me enough ...
