Anabolic Steroids
The Steroid Ranking Chart Strength gain, contest prep, ability to keep gains are all listed in the chart
Melting points of anabolic steroids You find the common names of anabolic sterois along with their chemicl names. Molecular weight, melting points
Steroid cycles for the newbie Here are some cycles to consider for a first time user of AAS. All cycles should be based off of test. But before jumping into one of theses cycle please do your research. Remember with the good comes the bad.
I WANT TO USE STEROIDS I have often been accused of being pro-steroid. Unfortunately, anabolic steroids belong to a long list of subjects that our society has forbidden any kind of intelligent discussion.
Steroids what do you know TYPES OF STEROIDS
Anabolic/Androgenic Steroids can be roughly classified into two types, oral and injectable. When you eat food or consume anything orally, the great majority of the ingested substances pass through the liver prior to entering the bloodstream. For this reason, "injectable" AAS cannot be taken orally because the liver will deactivate the steroids in this "first pass". Deactivation in the liver usually involves the addition of one or more hydroxyl (OH) groups to increase the solubility of the molecule in water, making excretion in the urine more easily accomplished
Growing even when off steroids Many steroid users would like us to think that if they grow so fast while medicated, it is not so much because of the drug but rather due to their innate ability to train. This is probably why they never dare to go off steroids. Is there really any usefulness in cycling anabolics? I doubt that any pro ever goes off! Why shouldn't up-and-coming amateurs and contenders for the pros do the same?
A look at Testosterone Androgen use is very prevalent in society. Much of this is due to androgen abuse among athletes and bodybuilders, where black market androgen abuse has reached epidemic proportions. Indeed, in various studies of high school boys, it has been found that 4-12% had used androgens at least once (JAMA 27O:12l7, 1993). Androgens have also been prescribed for many conditions by physicians throughout the last several decades.
Simple Transdermal Recipe I've heard a couple requests recently for an easy to make transdermal carrier. Phlojel Ultra is an excellent commercial product, but if you're chemically inclined, and you'd like to save a few bucks, here is an old recipe, that's just about as good as it gets for your traditional alcohol-based carriers. From our friends at AM, scrubbed up, and hopefully coherent enough to follow.
Supplementation while using anabolic steroids This will not be specific to supplements used by steroid users but general supplements for bodybuilding, natural or otherwise. I will list some supplements that I consider necessities, and some that are good to use but not totally necessary.
What is the Right Age to Start Using Steroids? This article is being published in hopes of reaching some of the younger people, involved in our great sport of body building, reach their goals without making the great mistake of using steroids too early in their long lives. The problem with this is that most young bodybuilders (BBs) cannot grasp the concept of the future and how long the road ahead really is even with the use of steroids. How do you convince a 14 year old that it will take years before he can look like the Pro BB's in the magazines, and that he may never look like that even with all the drugs available in the world. Well that is what I hope to accomplish within this article.
Minimizing Side Effects Everyone loves the effects of Steroids but no one likes the side effects, and rightly so as a lot of them can be quite nasty and permanent. So when someone is deciding to cycle it would be a good idea for them to know ahead of time how to avoid and/or minimize the potential side effects that they may get from their steroid cycle. Now, obviously which drugs you are running during the cycle and the dosages will make a big difference as to what sides you are at risk for. As well, each person is different and which sides as well as to what degree will depend greatly just on them and their body. I will go over some of the most common sides and how to avoid or minimize them
Glossary of Terms Related to HGH Homeopathy
Natural form of medicine that uses immeasurably small doses of medicines to stimulate the body's own defense and healing process. Homeopathy focuses on bringing the entire body back into homeostasis, or balance.
Fast Mass Builders Today I wanted to talk a bit about a certain group of compounds, the fast mass builders. What I mean by this is the drugs that will pack on mass as fast as possible for the user. Before I get into it though, I should mention that these drugs will add mass including water retention. This isn't to say you will get fat as your diet and cardio, not the drugs will control that. These drugs are for those that want to get big and strong as fast as humanly possible. However you must remember
Difference Between Anabolic and Androgenic All anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) are derivatives of testosterone. Each has an index ratio assigned to it on how anabolic (actual building effects --> muscle tissue, bone density, ...) versus androgenic (male-like effects --> body hair, deepening the voice, prostate ... effects that originally helped you to become a man from the time you were a fetus to a matured adult) the compound is. A purely anabolic steroid
Androgen Receptor Regulation One of the most common beliefs concerning anabolic/androgenic steroid (AAS) usage is that the androgen receptor (AR) downregulates as a result of such usage. This has been claimed repeatedly in many books and articles, and it is claimed constantly on bulletin boards and the like. If I’ve heard it once, I’ve heard it a thousand times. If it were just being stated as an abstruse hypothesis, with no practical implications, with no decisions being based on it, that might be of little importance.
Androgen Action and the Androgen Receptor Endogenous androgens are well known for their many functions in promoting sexual
differentiation and the induction of the male phenotype. In the male, the two
endogenous androgens most active in promoting these effects are testosterone (T)
and dihydroxytestosterone (DHT).
8 Rules to Cycle by I. Always Cycle off of AS for at least 6 weeks The rule of thumb regarding how to cycle on
and off of steroids is that one should cycle off of the AS for the same amount
of time that they were on. Sometimes a goal is trying to be met which
will require a quick return to the AS in order to not lose gains. At times like
this, I strongly recommend that one stay off of the juice for at least 6 weeks
in order to give the pituitary-axis a chance to rest and to restore the
cholesterol levels somewhat to normal.

Steroids - what do you know?
Anabolic/Androgenic Steroids can
be roughly classified into two types, oral and injectable. When you eat food or
consume anything orally, the great majority of the ingested substances pass
through the liver prior to entering the bloodstream. For this reason,
"injectable" AAS cannot be taken orally because the liver will deactivate the
steroids in this "first pass". Deactivation in the liver usually involves the
addition of one or more hydroxyl (OH) groups to increase the solubility of the
molecule in water, making excretion in the urine more easily accomplished.
Using the Principles of Half-Life’s as
regards to frontloading
I’ve
decided to write this article in regards to a great post made by Got Gear. He
simply stated that at no time during a cycle will your test levels reach above
500mg a week if you’re taking 500mg a week of test enanthate. This is so very
true and a lot more detailed than you probably think. This is what we base our
dosages on since the onset and peak of most AAS is/are not established. The
definition of half-life in regards to biology and pharmacology is simply the
time required by the body, tissue, or organ to metabolize or inactivate half the
amount of a substance taken in (Taber’s Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary). These
principles are used for all medications, not just AAS. I’m going to break this
down to the simplest form I can so bare with me because it may get a little
confusing.
Legal aspects of Black Market AAS
As adult men age, their bodies
gradually produce less testosterone - the male sex hormone that is both anabolic
(i.e., builds muscle) and androgenic (i.e., promotes male characteristics). Many
men approaching middle age - and sometimes earlier - begin to experience the
negative effects of this natural decline. Doctors practicing in the developing
area called "anti-aging medicine" have found that replacing the body's own
testosterone with testosterone or other chemically similar androgens from an
outside source can enhance muscular size and strength, and can help improve
virility and vitality in aging men. These replacement hormones, however, are
prescription medications - i.e., they are unlawful to purchase or possess
without a valid prescription from a physician. Further, most androgens - which
include the synthetic variations defined as "anabolic steroids" - have been
classified as controlled substances, invoking the imposition of criminal
penalties for those who buy them on the black market and are caught possessing
them without a prescription. This article explores some of the legalities
involved in the illegal purchase and possession of replacement androgens. For
those seeking a basic understanding of androgens and an evaluation of their
health risks when used without medical advice, please refer to the applicable
sections of my website at
www.steroidlaw.com.
Steroid phobia: myth vs. fact The
word “steroid” likely brings some negative thoughts to mind. Sometimes concern
over the use of steroids, and some myths surrounding them, can hamper treatment
for medical conditions. Steroids used to treat diseases have both benefits and
potential side effects. The goal of this article is to give you information to
help separate myth from fact.
Gain 20-25lbs on a cycle
Everyone wants to know how to
gain high poundages on a cycle. We’ve all got a “friend” in a gym somewhere that
gained 25lbs on his last cycle and we want to do the same. We ask ourselves…What
is his secret? Is the juice he’s taking that good? Is it a good diet in
conjunction with the test.. is that what is responsible? Well, here’s the
answer.. NO, his particular anabolic compound of choice be it Sustanon,
Winstrol, Dbol, Tren, etc… isn’t so great that whoever takes one of those
compounds will grow.. nor is his diet so “on” that he will gain more than us
Steroid Mistakes
17 Most Deadly steroid Mistakes
1. Lack of General Steroid Education:
What you don't know can hurt you! You need to know what certain types of
steroids do, how to stack and cycle for max results with minimum risks,
injection procedures (you CAN kill yourself if you don't do this correctly) etc.
You need to know the dangers and how to take steroids safely.
2. Listening to the Wrong Advice: You
cannot take anyone advice without researching yourself from a reliable source of
information (like this site). Knowledge is Power. Therefore, one must read as
much as possible, gather all available information, then ask as many questions
as possible. Whatever you do, just don't take advice from the first guy that
comes along.
Mechano Growth Factor Let’s start with an explanation of Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) and what it does. The muscle insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) mRNA splice variant (IGF-IEc) has been identified in rodents. IGF-IEc, also called mechano growth factor (MGF) has been found to be up-regulated by exercise or muscle damage. Growth hormone (GH) is the principal regulator of IGF-I expression in several tissues including the skeletal muscle

Testosterone: a natural tonic for the failing heart? Chronic congestive heart failure (CHF) remains a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in the UK, accounting for 5% of acute hospital admissions and 1% of the total NHS budget.1 Coronary artery disease (CAD) and hypertension are the most commonly associated conditions. The condition is characterized by left ventricular dysfunction, impaired vascular
Understanding your blood work What does it mean - and what is normal in Blood tests ? The names may be different in various countries –and so may the values. Please double-check with your own standards.
Dangers of steroids While the primary objective of Congress in classifying anabolic steroids as controlled substances (and criminalizing their use) was probably to solve the pharmacologic "cheating" problem in competition sports, the reported health risks associated with these "deadly drugs" provided a seemingly valid basis for the legislation
Stacking Opposing Anabolics.html Anabolic Steroids achieve their effects on hypertrophy through different mechanisms,and as such are classified into two different categories,class-I and class-II compounds.I will explain which ones work through which pathway,and how to effectively combine opposing groups to maximize potentiation of one another for explosive growth
Receptor Down Regulation There is as much misinformation about steroids as there is good information had among bodybuilding enthusiasts. Go to any gym and you will hear some kid spouting off to his buddies about how steroids do this, or how they do that, or whatever. This soon starts somewhat of a pissing contest (excuse the expression) as to who knows more about steroids. It’s the same kind of titillating and infectious banter that adolescent boys get into about girls and sex. With steroid banter you hear all the popular terms like Deca, Test, GH, gyno, zits, raisins, "h-u-u-u-ge", roid, freak, monster, roid-rage, "
Bodybuilding Pharmacology: Fried Liver our liver is your life. That sounds like a grandiose statement, but it’s true. The human liver is located behind the lower ribs, right below the diaphragm on the right side of the abdomen. It averages slightly more than three pounds in weight and is six inches thick. Without a functioning liver, you’d die a miserable death
The right way to do a source check 1. Obtain your source that needs checking,
2. Do a little leg work yourself first. Email the source first and ask for his references. He should be more than willing to give you these. If he doesn't, find someone new. ..............
A new Look At Sustanon On a 3cc case, each hash mark equals 25mgs of sust
So to inject
200mgs would be 8 hash marks or a little over 3/4 of a ml
150mgs would be 8 hash marks or a little over 1/2 of a ml
100mgs would be 4 hash marks or a little under 1/2 of a ml
Steroid Active Halflife An important consideration when planning a steroid cycle, in particular the timing of dosing to be administered, is the active half-life of the drug being employed. The half-life may be defined as the time (t) the level is half of the starting level of a given compound; at time 2t, the level is a quarter of the starting level, and at time 3t, the level is an eighth of the starting level, and so on.
Winnys activity explained Firstly, I will be the first to verify that winny use does cause joint pain, to say the least. The reason is twofold. There is a transport and removal of water in general from the organism as a whole, and any water that remains is generally utilized in the musculature as a matter of priority. Strangely, this does not seem to apply to the smooth musculature, i.e. the heart, etc. The water is quickly expelled from the body and the entire organism actually shrinks slightly, for lack of a better word
GHRELIN the next anabolic Ghrelin, a 28 amino acid acylated peptide predominantly produced by the stomach, displays strong growth hormone-releasing activity mediated by the hypothalamus-pituitary GH secretagogue receptors that were found to be specific for a family of synthetic, orally active GH secretagogues. The discovery of ghrelin brings us to a new understanding of the regulation of GH secretion. However, ghrelin is much more than simply a natural GH secretagogue
Steroid Usage for women Lots of people have very strong convictions against women using steroids. The most common misconceptions involve the strain of though that steroids will turn a woman into a muscle-bound man with a vagina. Although this may be true in some cases, the fact remains that steroids could be very beneficial to women
HPTA reversal Although shown to be effective for their intended medical treatment, AAS have been shown to induce hypogonadotropic hypogonadism in adult males. The medical literature is conflicting in the reports of spontaneous return and long-term suppression of gonadal suppression post AAS usage. This observational study documents the treatment protocol of HCG, clomiphene citrate, and tamoxifen in returning hormonal function to normal post AAS usage
The Testosterone Report-Esters Explained One of the most misunderstood subjects in the world of steroids is the ester--the mechanism by which injectable esterified steroids like testosterone cypionate, testosterone enanthate, and Sustanon work. If you take a quick look around the Internet you will probably find countless articles that consider one form of a steroid far more effective
Injection FAQ's For many of you, this is common knowledge, but I'm sure that some of you still have a few questions about this subject. If you are new to steroids, this FAQ should answer your injection questions. We will start from the very beginning.......
