In some circles of bodybuilding, the thought of neglecting post-cycle therapy would be unheard of. You wrap up your cycle, and you immediately jump to a second mini-cycle of a post-cycle therapy drug to help to bridge the gap between “juiced” and “clean”. This is thought to be imperative, but is that just clever marketing on the part of companies that happen to manufacture and sell post-cycle therapy drugs? Of course there is going to be some level of hormone fluctuation following a cycle, but can’t the body recover on its own, given enough time? Your choice may depend upon your life goals at the moment. If you are planning to start a family after your cycle, then a post-cycle therapy drug to help boost your sperm count may be your best bet. You’ll regain your natural ...

A recent high-profile drug test failure in professional baseball had a lot of journalists scratching their heads wondering “Just what in the world is HCG?” Early reports mocked the drug as a female fertility drug, but wiser scribes knew the actual purpose of this drug was to either mask or help recover from an actual steroid cycle. Let’s learn more about HCG, and see how it relates to bodybuilding in particular. When you engage in a standard steroid cycle, your blood levels of testosterone are sky high. This isn’t due to anything you produce naturally. In fact, your natural T production levels are going to be floored. The artificial hormones you inject will be raising your blood levels to an insanely high point. This will lead to new muscle gains and increases in your ...

The off-season has arrived, and you are ready to add some muscle to your frame. You placed fairly well at your last show due to your great conditioning, but you just didn’t have enough muscle on your frame to hold your own against the top three. That is about to change. You are sitting at between 180 and 200 pounds, and you’re ready to run your second cycle, consisting of testosterone and Deca, stacked. We’ll consider this the second cycle, because your first cycle should always consist of testosterone, and testosterone alone. But when the second cycle arrives, it may be time to add something more to the mix, and Deca-Durabolin is a good choice for this. Pre-cycle, you are going to want to purchase the full cycles’ worth of testosterone, Deca, and either Clomid or HCG ...

The Human Chorionical Gonadotropin or HCG in short does not occur as an anabolic steroid, though as a natural hormone that does develop within a pregnant woman’s placenta. HCG is widely used alongside androgenic steroids after or during the treatment. As aforementioned, most injectable and oral steroids have been known to cause lots of negative feedback mostly after specific levels and certain durations of steroid usage.  Because the exogenous HCG contains traits that are almost similar and identical to the traits of the hormone LH, it however makes the HCG of absolute interest on athletes. Within the body of males the LH starts the stimulation of the cells of the leydig within the testes, which then stimulates the production in total of testosterone. Due to this reason, many athletes end up using injectable HCG so that they could be able to ...

Recently, a very high profile professional baseball player was suspended for a large chunk of the season because he failed a test and violated Major League Baseball’s substance abuse policy. The media made a big deal about the story, as this dread-locked fan favorite was one of the biggest names in the sport. However, the biggest part of the story, as reported by the oft ill-informed media, wasn’t that the player in question had used drugs. As one of the top players in the league over a decade despite being in his thirties, most people would have suspected that already. What was noteworthy was the drug he was caught using. Most of the time, when an athlete is caught using a drug, it will either be a potent steroid, or a masking agent. Both are often on ...

There have been prohibitions which are made to take a stern effect on the issue of anabolic androgenic steroids, yet the measures have been ignored as search. This is because the positive effects of steroids have been so much that they have camouflaged the harmful nature of steroids as we know them today. The issue with information on steroids is also another fact which has made steroids to be something that has still to be understood in its entirety by the general public. The illegality of steroids has also been a fact that possibly has hindered the exchange of information freely to the effect that people are also using and buying the substances from areas that lack in any safety. In addition to this, there has been a prohibition of the usage and sale of any anabolic steroid which is available over ...

HCG is not known to be an anabolic steroid. It is a natural hormone that does develop within a pregnant woman’s placenta. After nidation within the placenta there is the formation of HCG. It has lutenizing characteristics because it is very similar to the LH. It is found within the anterior part of the pituitary gland. In the first of month and a couple of weeks which characterize a normal pregnancy, the hormone HCG which has then started to be formed does allow a continued formation of the hormone estrogen as well as gestagen within the corpi-luteum or yellow bodies. After this the placenta is in a conducive form to produce the two hormones. HCG comes from the pregnant female’s urine as it is excreted within its natural form, being derived from the blood through the female’s urine and passing ...

Q: I am pretty new at this cycle stuff, and know that I should take something to bring my own Testosterone back into play once my cycle is done. I was going to use HCG, but someone told me that I need to be concerned with HPTa levels and started getting all scientific with me. What is that and why should I care about it? A: When you take AAS, the body’s natural testosterone feedback loop shuts down production. The body has to see the deficiency or surplus for a period of time before stopping or secreting hormones, and an eight week cycle does that trick. While on an AAS cycle, it’s fine, but when off, it spells trouble, because we haven’t kick started our own production. HPTA stands for hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular (or sometimes gonadal) axis. It represents the combined function ...
