The testosterone that helps the bodybuilder to improve his or her features is mostly in a modified format and the modification is clinically done in the circulation tissues found in peripheral areas.

This very compound is extremely vital in the development of the prostrate and also by extension it is quite important in the development of topical tissues.

The decision to use anabolic steroids, particularly for younger men, is one that shouldn’t be taken lightly.

Every time your girlfriend picks a fight with you, he’s there fanning the flames of passion.

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 ...

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.

The steroid Parabolan has an interesting and almost quirky place in history. The great Dan Duchaine, steroid guru and pioneer of the 1980s and 1990s, introduced the bodybuilding world to Parabolan in the early 1990s. His original dosing recommendation of 2 amps per week (or 2 x 76 mg) was highly popular with a small cult group of bodybuilders who read Duchaine’s newsletter. Suddenly, the manufacturing firm Negma discontinued sale of the product. But Parabolan, and its popular sister form of Tren, was just too popular to go away. As the internet exploded, so did the communication of information about this very useful steroid. Any time there is such a demand for a product, some creative minds find a way to get it to the market. Today, Parabolan is widely available from a ...

Ask most young bodybuilders about their concerns regarding the side effects of steroids, and the responses will usually be very similar. They usually worry about acne, first and foremost. After all, most young steroid users much enjoy the attention from the fairer gender, and a greasy sheet of acne adorning their backs, chests, and stomachs might mean their new physiques receive even less affection than their old ones. As they age, the fears of users begin to turn to the hair. Any man with a balding father, grandfather, or uncle is keenly aware of his own hair follicles, and keeps a very close eye upon his hairline and hair thickness. Steroids are selected based upon their tendencies to bind with hair follicle receptors on the scalp, and most users do everything they can to avoid ...

If you live long enough, it will develop cancer which will kill you. This is a scientific certainty. And it’s a certainty that it grows twice in your natural lifetimes.

Sometime between the age of 40 and 50, the prostate begins a second period of growth in men. It then continues growing for the rest of the life. For most men, this isn’t a huge problem. Ignore the organ ...

With all of the steroid discussion you see on the web today, it seems that sometimes beginner steroid users can feel overwhelmed. They see these detailed lists of complex chemical names. They don’t know what compounds come in pill form, and which goes into a vial to be injected. They see words like cycles, stacking, and pyramiding, and they scratch their head. If you’re an experienced steroid user, this article isn’t for you. You know how to build a cycle (and what a cycle is). You are familiar with stacking and may even have your own favorite combinations. And you are probably well-versed in the practice of pyramiding. At this point, you should probably grill up a steak and enjoy some accelerated protein synthesis that AAS provides. However, if you’re somewhat confused about ...

Sustanon is a popular steroid among bodybuilders and powerlifters. Let’s learn more about this popular multi-tiered testosterone, and see how it stacks up against other testosterones of the world. The History At the peak of his popularity, Dan Duchaine introduced the world to a little-known testosterone blend known as Sustanon. Originally developed by a firm called Organon, Sustanon was initially believed to be the perfect testosterone. It contained four different esters (T propionate, T phenylpropionate, T isocaproate, and T decanoate), and researchers initially believed it was a “one-shot” solution to a month’s worth of testosterone needs. In other words, they believed users would be able to take one shot per month, and the varying release speeds of these four esters would create a weekly testosterone boost to the system. It was believed Sustanon would end multiple weekly ...

There are many misconceptions out there as far as what size weekly testosterone injection should be used by bodybuilders. Many gym rats and message board warriors tend to believe they know what good dosing is for amateur bodybuilders, as well as what professional bodybuilders are running.

For this activity, we will use testosterone enanthate as the example. It’s a popular ester, and one which is used universally for hormone replacement dosing, all the way up to high-caliber professional bodybuilding. Let’s look at the actual dosing used based upon goals and situation. The average man in his 50s receiving TRT, or testosterone replacement therapy, will suffice just fine with using only ...
