How Much Protein for Strength and Mass Gains?


People often fail to meet their strength goals due to a lack of planning in the dietary aspects of the training sphere. Goals are not enough, they have to be associated to an action plan.

It is a myth that 21 days are necessary to change an habit, the scientific research points out that it takes at least 66 days for the average person to install an habit.

From experience, whether you want to gain muscle mass or strength, the first goal you should establish is how much protein you should eat in a day. For males, who aim at increasing muscle mass and strength gains, if you only train once a day, 2 g a kg should be more than enough (for women 1.2g /kg of bodyweight).

With Olympic level athletes in strength sports who train up to 5 times a day, that value can climb up to 3.3 g/kg to 4.4 g/kg in accumulation phases, where they aim at increasing their muscle’s cross-section. However, athletes that reach those high protein needs are about as rare as lawyers who under-bill their clients!

That total protein amount should be spread out over 5 to 6 intakes a day, including any peri-workout intake (during/post). In the recent past, I have found that 80 grams coming from 40 grams of essential aminos with an additional 40 grams of BCAAs worked best to increase my gains in the gyms. I was certainly not consuming enough intra-workout. Since hypertrophy was the goal, I also consumed 30 to 70 gr of carbs depending on the size of body part, insuring proper transport into the cell.

Of course the quality of the protein matters. You cannot *compare 40 grams of baloney protein to 40 grams of bison protein.

Keep in mind that in order to grow you will need a minimum of 40% of your calories coming from carbs in the diet. Higher intakes of carbs are indicated when one has great insulin sensitivity and has the training volume is there to validate it. Again for most of the readers, 40% is probably better.

There are three populations who in my experience need higher protein intakes (3.3-4.4 g/kg):
  1. Insulin resistant morbidly obese, ultra-low carb. As their insulin sensitivity improves the protein needs will go down, being replaced by paleo carbs.
  2. Athletes who are fully dedicated to developing hypertrophy/strength; however they have to train enough: more than 2 sessions a day. An extremely small percentage of the training population. For a lot of them, they actually finally recover once they move that up.
  3. People from phenotypes that respond better to high protein i.e. Native Americans.
Keep in mind that Ed Coan became one of the strongest men in history with a very limited workload, his protein intake being circa 2 g/kg. Individualization is key. Not growing? Try more protein; still not growing: cut back on protein and increase carbs.

Testosterone Enanthate Side Effect


Testosterone Enanthate is similar to Testosterone Cypionate in that it’s a long-lasting form of testosterone that helps build mass quickly. It releases slowly, which means you get more for your money when investing in Testosterone Enanthate – but you can also inject it weekly for faster results.

Because the two drugs are similar, most people decide whether to buy Testosterone Enanthate or Testosterone Cypionate based on whether it’s available at the time they need it. Due to the length it takes to exit your system, users of Testosterone Enanthate who have negative side effects will be plagued with them for 3-4 weeks.

Enanthate Side-Effects

If your body doesn’t react well to taking Testosterone Enanthate, then you can use post-cycle products such as Nolvadex and Proviron to help you deal with the side effects. This will help restore the natural level of testosterone to your body as the Testosterone Enanthate dies down.

It’s important to know that Testosterone Enanthate, like most androgens, are usually tolerated well by those who use it for bodybuilding. Since scientists are learning more about how to use Testosterone Enanthate for therapeutic reasons, they’re quickly studying ways to enhance its benefits.

Of course ... Testosterone Enanthate can be stacked with other compounds to help build mass. Always check the other product to see what benefits it has that testosterone enanthate may not have on its own.

Testosterone enanthate is currently a drug that is injected into the muscle tissue (usually in the buttocks). But the soaring interest by patients and physicians to use it for therapy has resulted in studies to create an oral version of testosterone enanthate.

Some patients are even able to get their physician to surgically insert a pellet-version of Testosterone Enanthate into their abdomen for release that lasts up to six months. A study about inserting a year-long implant of Testosterone Enanthate is being conducted outside of the United States.

Although the drug comes in many forms – or is being tested to sell in various forms – injected testosterone enanthate is still the most popular. Gels, surgical implants, and other methods to use Testosterone Enanthate either don’t work as effectively or aren’t as easy to discontinue should the user experience side effects.

Testosterone Enanthate – regardless of its form – will remain popular with pro athletes and others interested in performance-enhancing drugs.

Andriol (testosterone undecanoate) - natural male sexual hormone.



Andriol is an oral steroid that produces mild gains and extremely mild unwanted side effects. Unfortunately, it is also an expensive steroid and to make it worthwhile for athletes and bodybuilders to see results from its use, a lot needs to be taken.

Andriol is a unique oral testosterone product, developed by the international drug firm Organon. One of the more recently developed anabolic steroids, Andriol first became available in the early 1980’s. This compound contains 40 mg of Testosterone Undecanoate, based in oil (oleic acid) and sealed inside a capsule. Subtracting the ester weight, this equates to a dosage of approximately 25mg of raw testosterone per cap. The design of this steroid is quite different from that of most oral steroids. Drugs administered orally generally enter the blood stream through the liver. When a steroid compound is given this way without some form of structural protection, it will be quickly broken down during the “first pass”. This process leaves very little steroid intact, basically deactivating the drug. Adding a methyl group (c-17 AA) to the structure is one way to protect it from this process, however stress is also placed on the liver as a result. In some instances this stress can lead to actual damage to liver tissues, so the designers of this steroid sought another way to protect the testosterone molecule. With Andriol, this was accomplished by making a form of testosterone that would be absorbed through the lymphatic system. This is due to its high fat solubility brought about by the ester, and its suspension in oil. Having the compound absorbed this way was thought to be very advantageous, as it allows the steroid to bypass the destructive first-pass through liver. This should permit the compound to enter the blood stream intact, without the need for a harsh chemical alteration.

On paper this drug seems like a great oral testosterone product. Clean, safe and worlds apart from other oral testosterone derivatives like the crude methyltestosterone. But as we always hear in life, if it looks to good to be true, it probably is. There are definitely some issues with Andriol. The first problem is that bioavailability, although clearly worlds apart from trying to take straight testosterone orally, is probably not significant next to c17alpha alkylated orals. Athletes typically find that in doses of less than 240mg per day (6 capsules) effects are generally not seen at all. 240mg of testosterone ester daily, the primary male androgen, and only a meager effect. When doses go higher, maybe 8-10 capsules (320-400mg), new muscle growth is slight to moderate at best, but no incredible bulky gains are ever reported. Logic leads one to believe that only a little testosterone is making its way into circulation. Testosterone is a powerful hormone no matter what the ester or form of administration. If it were active in the blood stream, the results would have to be pronounced. When one injects an oil based testosterone ester like cypionate, a dosage of 400mg per week is more than sufficient to see results. 400mg Andriol per day should be packing on an incredible amount of mass. Where does it all go? Individual problems with absorption may play a role into things here. Clearly there is little to be said except that this drug is unpredictable in its ability to be absorbed and utilized by the body. While one day you might be getting great absorption, perhaps the next day you are getting very little. Studies with men were no better than with women, where again this drug was shown to be unpredictably absorbed and utilized with blood levels ranging from 11.5 to 60.1 nmol/L with 80mg twice daily.

One might also pay interest to the “mildness” of this compound as described by other bodybuilding materials. Andriol is often spoken about as some type of magic product, which to spite being a form of regular testosterone somehow allows for only minimal estrogen conversion. You should know that the way a drug is administered includes a number of factors that can slightly alter its effect, the most predominant being the speed of release. This effects the time it takes for a peak blood level to be reached, and likely the length it takes to see results. The primary reason Testosterone suspension seems more powerful than enanthate is because more drug is active on day one. At the same time estrogen builds up faster and side effects become pronounced very quickly. The ester is also part of the total weight, and 100mg testosterone contains a much larger quantity of testosterone molecules that testosterone plus ester, another reason for varying effect. But these changes do not amount to all that much. The structure of testosterone is what allows it to break down into estrogen. The only way we can really prevent an androgen from converting to estrogen is to change the base molecule, not the ester. Once free in the blood stream we cannot prevent testosterone from being aromatized without interfering with the aromatase enzyme itself. The lack of results and side effects often reported with Andriol must be going hand in hand with poor absorption.

Primobolan - The Ultimate Steroid?


Primobolan Depot is an extremely effective steroid that's earned its respect as the safest injectable steroid. It's the only steroid that will yield solid gains even on a low calorie diet. It's also the only steroid that will build solid muscle slowly with minimal to no side effects... No acne, no aggression, no water bloat, no loss of sex drive, and its the only steroid that will not shut down HPTA (you want to have kids one day right?). I honestly cant think of another steroid that compares to primobolan!

Methenolone is a DHT-based steroid (actually, DHB or dihydroboldenone, the 5-alpha reduced of the milder boldenon). Meaning when it interacts with the aromatase enzyme it does not form estrogens at all.(estrogen is what causes unwanted sides). But unlike Deca Durabolin you do not have to worry about progesterone problems (like bitch tits) either, so now you have the best of both worlds!

Since Primobolan does not convert to estrogen, it displays many favorable characteristics. Estrogen related side effects should not be seen at all when using this steroid. Sensitive individuals need not worry about developing gynecomastia, nor should they notice any water retention with this drug. The gains seen with Primobolan will be only quality muscle mass, and not the smooth bloat which accompanies most steroids open to aromatization. In addition, during a cycle, the user should not have much trouble with blood pressure values, as this effect is also related (generally) to estrogen and water retention - two common side effects that Primobolan just doesn't have.

You will here Primobolan is weaker than deca. That's not exactly accurate. Deca Durabolin is a great substance but is also very calorie dependant. Primobolan is not, Primobolan can allow your diet to be a little loose. A few quotes by Bill Roberts: "It appears to cause less inhibition than Deca Durabolin or testosterone for any given degree of anabolic effect, perhaps because of low CNS activity, lack of conversion to DHT, and lack of aromatization to estrogen." Do you understand what he is saying. Ok this is even true at a range of 600 mgs Primobolan per week which is a highly effective dose. Requiring a little higher dosage to achieve the same anabolic effect, but since it is pleasant to use at doses considerably higher than what is pleasant for nandrolone esters (deca durabolin), it can achieve higher maximum effectiveness. In addition, Primobolan depot is attached to an ester which allows a half-life of about 5 to 10 days. This is a benefit to both the new or veteran user. Every day injections or every other day are a pain in the ass, no pun intended. But every injecting Primo every 5 to 7 days is enough to allow for optimal blood levels.

Primobolan Depot happens to have another plus, the drug is particularly excellent for use as the last injectable in a cycle, since for any given anabolic effect it gives much less inhibition of your natural testosterone production than other steroids such as testosterone, nandrolone, or tren. Therefore, residual levels of Primobolan can allow recovery of your natural test levels as you taper off your cycle while still offering useful anti-catabolic or even anabolic support.

And oh... When people blow up say 30lbs in a cycle its impossible to keep it all as most of it is water bloat. Even if you plan your cycle carefully and do your homework, half your gains, (if not more) will disappear within a few weeks. A slow quality builder like Primobolan allows you to gain for the long term.

Side effects with Primobolan Depot are minimal and manifest themselves only rarely and in persons who are extremely sensitive. Due to the androgenic residual effect, side effects can include light acne, deepening voice or increased hair growth. But who cares? Take B5 for the acne, women love deep voices, and increased hair growth? Cry me a river and shave. Primobolan Depot has even less influence on the liver function than the oral Primobolan so that an increase of the liver's toxin values is extremely unlikely. The blood pressure, cholesterol level, HDL and LDL values, as with Primobolan tablets, usually remain unaffected. Primobolan Depot is generally the safest injectable steroid.

Like the tablets, Primobolan Depot has only a very small influence on the hypothalamuhypophysiat testicular axis so your body's own testosterone production is only reduced when very high dosages are taken over a prolonged period of time.

Stacks: Primobolan is often used in a stack. It is popular for male bodybuilders to stack Primobolan with other steroids in order to obtain a faster and more enhanced effect. Methenolone (Primo) is also one of the rare steroids that works on a reduced calorie diet. This makes Primobolan depot an ideal part of every cutting stack. For dieting (pre contest preparation) Methenolone works best in stack with T3, Clen, Proviron, Deca, and/or Test. During a dieting or cutting phase, a non-aromatizing androgen like Halotestin or trenbolone can be added. The strong androgenic component should help to bring about an added density and hardness to the muscles. On the other hand (or in addition) we could add Winstrol or Anavar, another mild anabolic steroid. The result of this combination should again be a notable increase of muscle mass and hardness, but in this case the gain should not be accompanied by increased side effects. And as mentioned earlier, Primobolan Depot is also used effectively during bulking phases of training. The addition of testosterone, Dianabol or Anadrol prove quite effective for adding new muscle mass. Of course when stacked with those three, we would have to deal with estrogenic side effects, but in such cases Primobolan should allow the user to take a much lower dosage of the more "toxic" drugs and still receive acceptable results.

Effects of Tenbolone on the Body


Trenbolone is a very popular anabolic steroid with stringent side effects, more so than other anabolic steroids. Since it was first developed, Trenbolone has been regarded as a scary, mythic compound. Many people who read about the drug are scared by what they read. The reason is that people don’t understand Trenbolone side effects and the risks compared to the benefits. What you need to understand is that there are numerous other compounds that are much more mysterious than Trenbolone. Once people understand Trenbolone, it’s not as terrifying as they thought.

Review of Trenbolone Side Effects

Trenbolone has some unique side effects to it. Yes, it does have common side effects as any other anabolic steroid but it has its own one-of-a-kind side effects. Bear in mind that some of the unique Trenbolone side effects have made many people to label it a harsh anabolic steroid. Not everyone will experience them but the majority of folks do get them. The side effects people experience will depend on a number of factors:
  • Individual response to compound
  • Lifestyle habits
  • Personal genetics
  • Gender
  • Age
What are some of the adverse side effects you may or may not experience with the use of Trenbolone?

Trenbolone Increases Perspiration

Trenbolone has a tendency to reveal its powerful nutrient partitioning effect. This ability is how every single anabolic steroid works, with some showing it more than others. Trenbolone is one of those anabolic steroids. When this happens, a person can experience a rise in their metabolic rate as an unexpected effect. Excessive sweating can happen any time of the day or night and is often seen at night when a person is sleeping. This side effect isn’t anything real serious or life-threatening but can be a real nuisance. Trenbolone users will need to increase their water intake because the excessive sweating can cause dehydration.

Insomnia and Trouble Falling Asleep

Users of Trenbolone and other anabolic steroids often report suffering with insomnia. While the side effect is minor for many anabolic steroids, Trenbolone users tend to have this side effect much more often. In fact, the number of people who have the side effect is mind-blowing. It’s not known why this happens, but it’s believed its components stimulate the body’s nervous system. This causes people to be unable to sleep, feel tired or continuously get restless sleep (tossing and turning) or constantly wake up during the night. Many Trenbolone acetate or enanthate users need some kind of sleep aid to help them get a good night’s rest. Our recommendations for the best Trenbolone stacks and cycle dosages here.

Gynecomastia Caused by Trenbolone Side Effects

Gynecomastia is a very complicated issue that’s not completely understood. How progesterone and estrogen react with each other is a complex issue. Progestins are seen as inhibitors of Prolactin secretion. There is a significant amount of evidence that claim 19-nor compounds like Nandrolone and Trenbolone can cause the body to generate Prolactn from the pituitary gland.

Trenbolone is a Progestin and acts on the Progestin receptors found in the breast tissue. Both Prolactin and Estrogen receptors are also seen in breast tissue and it’s thought that the Estrogen receptor activity will worsen the progesterone receptor sensitivity. Basically, progestins like Trenbolone will make the estrogen receptor to increase the sensitivity of the estrogen levels and raise the possibility of gynecomastia. Even low levels of estrogen will cause the enlargement of gynecomastia.

The amalgamation of Progesterone, Estrogen and Prolactin will produce an intricate network, which is why gynecomastia is an issue. Prolactin’s effect on this medical condition because of Trenbolone will often show itself in one key way: Nipple lactation – fluid that leaks from the nipples, when pressed or squeezed
Men who have high Prolactin levels could experience Trenbolone side effects like erectile dysfunction and anorgasmia, which is the inability to get an orgasm. There are several ways that people can prevent these problems:
  • Users could use Prolactin-antagonistб which act like dopamine-receptor agonists that reduce or eliminate prolactin levels.
  • Control levels of estrogen by using aromatase inhibitor with compounds that will aromatize like Testosterone or by decreasing testosterone to TRT doses so there is a reduction in aromatization into estrogen.
  • Using vitamin B6 to control the levels of prolactin – 600mg on a daily basis.
It’s important to understand that controlling the levels of estrogen go hand in hand in controlling the levels of prolactin being released by the pituitary glands. However, this won’t work for everyone. Some people still suffer with increases in prolactin even if they have low levels of estrogen while they use Trenbolone. This is why everyone needs to use a Prolactin-antagonist.

Does Tren Decrease Libido?

The problem with one’s libido stems from the increase of Prolactin, and for males this can cause a number of issues:
  • Nipple lactation
  • Reduction in libido
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Anorgasmia
Keep in mind that progesterone can keep the production of prolactin from occurring and 19-nors like Trenbolone can suppress levels of prolactin. Now, Trenbolone or Nandrolone are considered a progesterone, rather they are anabolic steroids that show signs of progestogenic activity because of the chemical modifications, which is why it’s possible for the hormones to show signs that is contrary to the parent hormone. It’s important people use testosterone while using trenbolone and have another type of prolactin-antagonistic compounds to control the side effects of prolactin.

Trenbolone Cough

Users can experience very mild to extremely serious coughing fits right after getting an injection. Many people feel the rumor is a myth while others view it as a truth. This side effect comes on because of the needle hitting of the capillaries or vein while it’s being injected. When Trenbolone is being injected, it releases an oil-based structure that goes into the ruptured vein and, finally, the bloodstream. What happens is the body is trying to get rid of the foreign substance – it carries the oil to the lungs that the user then coughs out. Thus, the coughing fit ensues! Keep in mind that any oil-based anabolic steroid will cause this side effect. It’s not known why negative side effects of Trenbolone causes a more serious coughing fit than others, although there are several theories as to why this is (some fairly reasonable to others not so much). The coughing fit can be scary to the person experiencing it but hardly ever a life-threatening condition. The intensity of a coughing fit can be very mild – like a tickle in the throat – to serious – full-blown, intense coughing fit. With the more serious coughing fit, people may experience excessive sweating that will stop once the coughing stops.

Cardiovascular Side Effects

Many Trenbolone users say they have experienced a reduction in their pulmonary and cardiovascular capacity while using trenbolone. However, once the users don’t use the drug any longer, the side effect also goes away. It’s believed the side effect is dose-dependent. Many users who use low levels of Trenbolone may not experience this side effect. People who use a higher dose often experience the side effect. What is happening is a bronchial constriction – it makes it hard for the user to suck in copious amounts of oxygen, especially when working out. Of course, everyone is different, so some people will experience it while others will not. This side effect of Trenbolone is not regarded as a serious life-threatening issue, but exercisers may notice issues while they workout. It’s a temporary condition that asthmatic people should understand about, especially if they have a serious asthma attack.

Irritability and Aggression

Trenbolone is just as powerful as androgen as it is an anabolic, with the androgenic strength being five times testosterone’s strength. It’s got 500 androgenic rating, which can increase a user’s feelings of aggression and irritability. Like the above side effect, this is a dose-dependent side effect. The higher the cycle dosage taken, the more likely chance of suffering with the side effect. Some people may not even have this side effect at all. People who have anger problems or a short temper should be careful when using trenbolone because it can increase these traits. It’s advisable that these people do not use Trenbolone to avoid any possible issues. It’s best that only people who have a stable psychological state should use Trenbolone or else the adverse effects on mood may be worse. And, if persons using the drug notice a change in their behavior, they need to be aware of their actions. It all boils down to personal responsibility when people use anabolic steroids or any kind of drug for that matter.

Stress on Kidneys and Liver

One half-truth, half rumor to Trenbolone use is that there is additional stress put on the liver and kidney. Trenbolone isn’t any different than other injectable compounds when it comes to the additional stress but on the human organs. Trenbolone does put a small bit of strain on the liver because of its struggle to hepatic breakdown and metabolism. However, the toxicity of this is hardly an issue. Still, every person needs to take precautions when it comes to their liver and kidney and anybody who has had problems with these organs are advised not to use trenbolone or other anabolic steroids. The kidney damage rumor is from the fact that the urine turns a darker color with a strong rusty orange color to it. It’s often thought to be a bloody urine, which is why people assume it damages the kidneys. Trenbolone side effects don’t cause damage to the kidneys, but it does change the color because it will oxidize.

Trenbolone and the Liver

Trenbolone does not have C-17-alpha alkylation, the chemical modification needed for permit the anabolic steroid oral bioavailability. The modification can show itself in various hepatotoxicity degrees. Trenbolone doesn’t have this feature, but does have a minute amount of hepatotoxicity. This is due to its chemical structure, causing the Trenbolone to have a higher resistance to hepatic breakdown and metabolism.

This minute amount is not a reason to be concerned, for healthy persons, since the liver toxicity doesn’t reach the levels experienced by oral C17-alpha alkylated anabolic steroids. If a person is suffering with pre-existing liver issues, they need to be aware of the problem. Blood work needs to be done on Trenbolone users to keep an eye on the liver enzymes. A doctor may also prescribe a liver support supplement to avoid side effects of Trenbolone from a cycle and to ensure the liver functions properly.

Cutting cycle Trenbolone - Primobolan - Winstrol - Masteron.


One of the best ways to get lean is to increase your muscle mass. The more mass on your body, the easier it will be to burn calories and create a deficit which will force your body to pull from its fat stores. An interesting note about body-fat or what scientists like to call, “adipocytes”, is that adipocytes like aromatase. They house it and help produce it. Does that mean the fatter you are, the more estrogen your body will convert from the anabolic steroids you use? Probably.

In any case, body-fat and estrogen are good buddies. We want to disrupt their relationship as much as possible so that we can get both of them to move out of our space. Our rental space where we keep our shredded muscle and veins. After all, muscle just doesn’t look as good when it has layers of fat and water over it. No veins, no sharp division between muscle groups, no abs, no girls and no head turns.

Fat-loss is something I know a tremendous deal about, from both background knowledge from school and applied knowledge on myself, hundreds of clients, and many friends. Fat loss with the aid of juice is something I know even more about.

Alright friends, how do we use juice to help us get shredded. Well, continuing with our point from above about estrogen and body-fat, we want to create an environment and metabolism that has very little of both. Enter non-aromatizing anabolic steroids.

Here are your primary choices:
  • Trenbolone
  • Primobolan
  • Winstrol
  • Masteron
Secondary choices (these drugs sometimes aromatize slightly depending on your genes, but usually not enough to make them inefficient dieting drugs)
  • Halotestin
  • Equipoise
  • Deca Durabolin
The possible drug combinations for a legitimate cutting cycle are numerous. One of the best ways to go about a good cutting cycle is to plan out the weeks ahead. If you are a competitive physique athlete, you know how to do this, if you aren’t this might be a little new.

You can keep some drugs in the program that do aromatize. At least, in the beginning. Lets say you plan on dieting for ten weeks. For the first four, you can still use aromatizing anabolics. You won’t know for sure until you’ve attempted to get lean with drugs a few times over. The less prone you are to estrogenic side affects and water bloat, the longer you can use aromatizing drugs in your cutting arsenal.

If you are very susceptible to these effects, you will have to use non-aromatizing androgens for the entire course along with anti-estrogens in order to maximize the rate and extent of your fat-loss. Nobody wants slow fat loss. Especially when dieting strictly and correctly. We are battling hormones as well as general calories.
In many cases where people have difficulty with estrogen, they have difficulty with fat loss. Whether you are susceptible or not, here is the quickest way to lose body-fat with the assistance of anabolic steroids.

Before we get to the fun stuff, I have to say the diet is precedent over all else. Nutrition is key to getting shredded and it has nothing to do with eating “healthy”.
Okay, fun stuff. First, you need to find your ant-estrogens. I would use at least two, one from each main category, even if you do not typically struggle with water and estrogen while juicing.

My recommendations are Proviron, and Arimidex if you are not susceptible, and if you are, Proviron and Nolvadex.

The difference is that both Proviron and Arimidex will wipe out the aromatase enzyme where Nolvadex occupies the receptor site and blocks the estrogen molecules from hooking up with the receptor. Please see the anti-estrogen page. If you are susceptible, you always have a decent amount of estrogen floating around and you will need a drug that immediately blocks estrogen from wreaking havoc on your physique-Nolvadex.

If you are not susceptible, you just want to make sure that whatever little estrogen you have in your system stays low to non-existent. You do this by taking anti-estrogens that kill the maker of estrogen, the aromatase enzyme. Arimidex is excellent for binding up this enzyme.

Okay, we have our anti-estrogens in place, back to juice. Trenbolone is great. As potent as test and no estrogen or water. Great retention of your hard eared strength and muscle mass as well. Just over 200mg a week of any form should do it. Over 400mg would be unnecessary. Tren usually comes in 75mg strength, give or take a few milligrams. So you will need a minimum of three cc’s a week and upwards of five.

Equipoise is great at around 400mg a week if you are not susceptible to estrogenic effects. With the previous mentioned anti-estrogens, you will probably not have to worry. The Equipose adds a nice vascularity enhancing component to your cycle. Your veins should come out more and more as you get lean and will be accentuated by the Equipose. The nitrogen retaining affect will also help protect your muscle tissue as you add more cardio and decrease your calories.

Anavar works great to aid in strength retention. The more strength you retain while dieting, the less muscle you lose. Anavar has also been shown in studies to specifically aid fat-loss from the intra-abdominal region. It is also associated with an increase in cholesterol profile, raising your HDLs (good cholesterol) and lowering your LDLs (bad cholesterol). Don’t forget the creatine phosphate storage effect of the anavar. This will help keep your muscle bellies a little more full so that you don’t have that flat muscle look as you decrease your carbs. Anavar is a little tough to find sometimes but it is worth it. A decently high dose is needed to get this affect when dieting. At least 15mg and preferably between 20-30mg per day while dieting.

Oral Winstrol is great when dieting if you can afford to take enough. Around 30-50mg per day will greatly enhance your body’s ability to retain muscle at the expense of burning body-fat. Realize, I did not say Winstrol will burn body-fat. It will help shift your metabolism in favor of fat-loss. If you diet well and do your cardio, the Winstrol will aid your body in allowing the deficit of calories to only be pulled from fat, and not muscle.

Realize that there are two orals in this dieting regimen. This is just an example. You can pick any number of combos. Just be sure to give it thought by way of drug mechanism of action, and interaction (synergy) as we’ve said before. The above example is a great cutting regimen for general purposes. Two orals ran together at a sane dosage for ten weeks once or twice a year should be fine on your liver, as long as you are respecting your liver the rest of the year. I am not talking about those who go out drinking three nights a week while trying to get lean. If you are going to do this at all, reserve your liver for filtering drugs that have a purpose.

Safety and Side Effects of Deca Durabolin Abuse


There are many reasons why taking Deca Durabolin is good. It helps to build muscles, increases red blood cells, increases the appetite and improves bone density. It is an anabolic steroid that was first approved by the FDA in 1983 due to the fact that it could treat osteoporosis and anaemia. It was also discovered that it could be a form of birth control. One thing that the body needs to build up muscles is the ability to increase red blood cells, and Deca Durabolin can help to achieve this. Howevere, there are also Deca Durabolin side effects that you must be aware of and consider before you start using this steroid in a cycle. What is the safety record of Deca Durabolin and how can you use it to prevent side effects?

While there are benefits and it is considered one of the safest anabolic steroids, this is certainly not the safest option on the market. There are side effects, and some of them can be extremely bothersome. Some people will experience bladder irritability, acne problems, diarrhea and nausea, excitation and insomnia. However, there are some more serious problems, including atrophy of the testicles, gynecomastia and impotence.

If Deca Durabolin is used incorrectly for a long duration, it can cause men to grow breasts and experience a decreased libido. Men can also suffer from erectile dysfunction if they take this steroid incorrectly. This is due to the fact that DHT is in the penis. All of this can be avoided if you use a testosterone booster with Deca Durabolin. This will boost your level of testosterone. Since testosterone has a high rate of aromatization, Deca Durabolin aromatization is decreased. So it is advised that you use an AI when using Deca Durabolin, which will balance this out for you and stop some side effects.

At the same time, there are studies that show the use is safe and can improve the levels of HDL cholesterol. There are also ways to counter many of the side effects, such as impotence, through the use of testosterone supplements. Many problems occur due to a suppression of the natural testosterone production, so an outside source is required to help this. This can also help combat some of the progestinic problems, including the growth of breast tissue. Taking bromocriptine can be helpful to lower the prolactin levels, but you will also need to take anti-estrogenic drugs like letrozole or fulvestrant.

Progestogenic compounds such as 19-nors increase a particular hormone in the body called prolactin. Excessive prolactin levels in men generate adverse side effects such as erectile dysfunction, lactating nipples, anorgasmia or the inability to achieve orgasm, and the suppression or cessation of endogenous Testosterone production. Progesterone impedesprolactin production, and 19-nors such as Nandrolone and Trenbolone suppress Prolactin levels, since they are categorized as Progestins.

However, Deca Durabolin and Trenbolone are not progesterones, but they are anabolic steroids that demonstrate progestogenic activity. This is due to their chemical alterations that enable these hormones to display activity contrary to the activity of an analogous hormone or parent hormone. Facts reveal that Nandrolone Decanoate and Trenbolone increase prolactin levels in the body

Prolactin antagonist drugs are normally used to control prolactin increases. Nevertheless, prevention of rising estrogen levels present as an effective method as well. There are speculations that estrogen serves as a co-binding factor in the PRLR or prolactin receptor expression. This causes the sensitivity level in individuals to increase in relation to prolactin, even if the levels of prolactin are low in the body. The estrogen receptor is a contributory factor in prolactin concerns.

Therefore, the adverse effects of prolactin are controlled by estrogen levels. The side effects associated with 19-nor compounds, such as Deca Durabolin and Trenbolone, are reported to be more severe when they are used in a high estrogen environment. This is the case when stacking Nandrolone or Trenbolone with excessive aromatizable doses of a compound with the capacity to be aromatizable, such as Testosterone.

The progestogenic characteristic of Nandrolone produces severe suppression and cessation of endogenous natural Testosterone production. Therefore, when using Deca Durabolin in a cycle, the recommendation is for Testosterone to be incorporated to sustain the normal physiological function of Testosterone in an environment that fosters the termination or suppression of natural Testosterone production.

It is possible to use Deca Durabolin without side effects for cutting and bulking cycles. It seems that dosage and diet have a direct effect on whether the cycles will end up seeing positive results. As the steroid is highly anabolic and has few androngenic properties, using a mass cycle with testosterone and something like methandrostenolone or oxymetholone to make it an excellent bulking option. It will need to be used with short-ester options for a cutting cycle, including something like boldenone acetate or testosterone propionate.

Many recommend Deca Durabolin for building muscle strength and mass when taking it in either type of cycle. However, it is important to be careful when taking it as part of a cutting cycle when using it with 19-nor-testosterone options like trenbolone. This is great for building lean muscle and strength while helping with fat loss. It also binds to the progesterone receptor strongly. This can lead to higher HPTA side effects, and lead to needing to buy more drugs to prevent the side effects. It also means a different PCT regime is needed to counter the testosterone suppression.

It is common to be concerned about the damage to the liver when taking steroids. Unlike many other anabolic steroids, Deca Durabolin carries a low toxicity level even though it has a good strength. However, liver damage is still possible so it is important that you keep your eye on symptoms. Avoid using other anabolic steroids without reducing the dose of Deca Durabolin.

There are many potential Deca Durabolin side effects when taking this steroid. Taking a lower dose can help to avoid most of the following problems:
  • Pain where injected
  • Blood pressure increase
  • More acne or rashes
  • Libido changes
  • Skin and hair become oily
  • Nausea
  • More fat within the blood
The following side effects are only noted in men:
  • Breast and penile enlargement
  • Sperm not forming properly
  • Erections become painful
  • Testicle atrophy
  • Impotence
The following side effects are only noted in women:
  • Voice changes—may be permanent
  • Irregular/absent periods
  • Male characteristic development, including facial hair
  • Enlargement of the clitoris
These Deca Durabolin side effects do not disappear as soon as you stop taking the anabolic steroid. You need to make sure you follow the safe directions to avoid permanent changes to your body.

Winstrol – Injectable Vs Oral


Winstol can be used as either an oral or an injectable steroid. It is important to find out about both methods because you will get different results depending on the way you decide to administer it. The steroid Winstrol comes from the base structure of DHT. This is simply testosterone with 5alpha reduced. The c4-5 double bond has been removed using two hydrogen atoms. DHT does not aromatize into estrogen. While both forms of Winstol are the same the oral type offers a micronized Stanozolol powder that is suspended in water.

Winstrol offers a couple of modifications – c17methylation so that it can get past the liver on the first pass. A pyrazol group is added as well giving it a 5 sided group of Cyclopentane. The anabolic rate of Winstrol is very high with 320% testosterone. This results in the individual gaining strength and losing fat as long as they maintain a strict diet.

Winstrol comes from DHT and it is known to have antestrogenic effects. It also features anti-progestenic properties that block the receptors. The hard look your physical appearance takes on from Winstrol is the result of the estrogen and progesterone. The body looks very smooth as a result. It is important for you to know that it is 17aa meaning it is toxic to the liver. It is even more toxic to the liver when the method used is injection. This is because when a drug is consumed orally it takes a first pass into the liver so that only a portion of it actually gets into the blood stream.

In most cases, the first pass of Winstrol will take place in the gut and the liver. After it has been metabolized it will enter the bloodstream. Any blood that is metabolized in the gastrointestinal tract won’t go directly to the heart. Instead it passes from the liver to the hepatic vein through the portal vein. The liver is the system in your body responsible for filtering excess nutrients, toxins, and various substances that shouldn’t be in your bloodstream.

Oral steroids including Winstrol must first make a pass through the metabolism in the intestines and then again in the liver. Some of the various oral steroids are able to be absorbed intact while others are absorbed after metabolic activity has taken place. During the first pass is completed the drug is allowed to move through the body until another tissue absorbs it.

You will find some huge differences between the body’s reaction to the injectable and the oral methods of consuming Winstrol. The injectable option allows it to be placed directly into the bloodstream so it only has to go through the second pass metabolism while the oral version has to go through the gut and the liver before it is circulated into the bloodstream.

If you choose to inject Winstrol you will get more nitrogen retention than taking the oral version. This allows more muscle tissue to grow. If that is your goal then of course you will want to use the injectable method. They oral method does offer some good advantages though. Taking this first pass though allows the drug to be exposed to various enzymes and proteins.

To help you understand they synergy between Winstrol and the other steroids out there let me offer you some information on Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG). This is a Glycoprotein that is produced in the liver. More than half of the testosterone in your body is actually SHBG, and you can lower the amount of it when you consume Winstrol. A dose as low as .2mg per kg of body weight will help you reduce the amount of SHBG by 50%.

You may be wondering why you can’t get the same results with the oral method. This is because of the first pass it has to take through the liver. The Winstrol interacts with SHBG that is produced in the liver. It doesn’t go through the bloodstream first. Studies have shown that the injectable method of Winstrol is more effective than the oral when 700 mgs are injected per week vs. 400 mgs per week consumed orally.

For women, the opposite is true – they need to use the injectable method of Winstrol. The oral version offers need more synergy in their cycles but women want to avoid this. When women have less SHBG they have more testosterone and that can lead to hirsuitism which is an abnormal growth of body hair. It can also affect their menstrual cycle. Some women find their clitoris becomes enlarged and they suffer from severe acne when they use the oral method of Winstrol.

It is common for males who use the oral method of Winstrol to have more acne as well. Both men and women need to watch for liver toxicity issues as well. This steroid has one of the highest occurrences of that. The best advice I can give you is to use Winstrol if you like, but don’t use too much of it and don’t use it too often.

Boldebolin by Alpha-Pharma Healthcare


Boldebolin by Alpha-Pharma Healthcare is an injectable steroid which contains the hormone Boldenone Undeclynate.

Boldenone is a very popular steroid. Boldebolin is a highly anabolic, moderately androgenic steroid. For this very reason, Boldebolin is typically taken in a stack with other steroids like Testosterone if you are on a mass cycle or perhaps with Winstrol if you are on a cutting cycle. The main benefit of taking Boldebolin is that Boldenone increases protein synthesis in the muscle cells. This effect of Boldebolin is very similar to what you would experience while taking Anavar. Boldebolin gives you slower but much more high quality gains in muscle as opposed to the normal "quick" muscle gains that you would expect from a testosterone. Boldebolin is not a rapid mass builder, instead it provides a slow but steady gain of strength and quality of muscle mass. The most positive effects of Boldebolin are seen when it is used for longer cycles, usually lasting more than 8-10 weeks in duration. You can expect around 3 weeks before you start seeing results and they are not going to be staggering, but will be "more permanent" than any gains you would get from any of the multiple testosterones that are available. Boldenone stays active in the system longer than most of the testosterones as well. This makes Boldebolin a poor choice if you run the possibility of being drug tested.

Boldebolin is very common in the precontest arena for two main reasons. First off, there is a low amount of aromitization and secondly there is very little water retention while taking Boldebolin. This makes Boldebolin a good precontest steroid. Boldebolin is well known to give a good increase in the pumps you get while working out. This is caused from the increase in red blood cells that you will experience while taking Boldebolin. It is also well known to help cause a dramatic increase in appetite. Boldebolin is a very versatile compound.

We can create a number of drug combinations with it depending on the desired result. For mass (bulking cycle), one may want to stack it with Anadrol or Sustanon (any injectable testosterone). The result should be an incredible gain of muscle size and strength, without the same intensity of side effects if using the androgen (at a higher dose) alone. When used in a cutting cycle, muscle hardness and density can be greatly improved when combining Boldebolin with a non-aromatizable steroid such as Trenbolone Acetate or Winstrol. For some however, even the low buildup of estrogen associated with Boldebolin is enough to relegate its use to bulking cycles only.

GP Clen (clenbuterol) by Geneza Pharmaceuticals


GP Clen is an weight loss drug, its active substance is Clenbuterol. This drug is manufactured by Geneza Pharmaceuticals.

Clenbuterol belongs to the class of drugs classified as sympathomimetics. Sympathomimetic drugs are compounds that mimic or imitate the effects of the hormone epinephrine (adrenaline) and the hormone/neurotransmitter norepinephrine (noradrenaline). Clenbuterol is a popular drug prescribed as a decongestant and bronchodilator and commonly used by sufferers of asthma. However, it is now becoming popular as a dietary supplement endorsed as an effective slimming pill.

GP Clen (clenbuterol) by Geneza Pharmaceuticals is on of the most popular and potent cutting agents available. GP Clen (clenbuterol) by Geneza Pharmaceuticals is known to burn fat with thermogenic properties and also build lean muscle mass. Clenbuterol is a potent, long-lasting bronchodilator that is used in some European countries to treat asthma and related lung disorders. However, the drug is also a potent thermogenic agent and can selectively decrease fat and increase lean muscle mass. This property of GP Clen (clenbuterol) by Geneza Pharmaceuticals has made it a widely abused drug among many individuals. Because of this selective partitioning effect, the drug is widely abused by both amateur and professional athletes around the world.

Many bodybuilders, as well as other athletes, find GP Clen (clenbuterol) by Geneza Pharmaceuticals beneficial because of its thermogenic abilities. As a thermogenic it increases blood pressure, stimulating the heart muscles. This stimulation, in turn, leads to an increase in body temperature. In addition, GP Clen (clenbuterol) by Geneza Pharmaceuticals boosts glycogenolysis, or the breakdown of glycogen. This process results to release of glycogen into the bloodstream (in the form of glucose) and renders the body incapable of storing or using more glycogen. This hikes the rate at which fat and protein are used up in the body for these three essential purposes – energy production, for recycling of their molecular components, or for their excretion. This is how GP Clen (clenbuterol) by Geneza Pharmaceuticals users lose adipose (fat) tissues.

GP Clen (clenbuterol) by Geneza Pharmaceuticals is also particularly appealing to bodybuilders and other athletes because it heightens aerobic capacity. Aerobic means "with oxygen", and refers to the use of oxygen in the body's metabolic or energy-generating process. In simple terms, GP Clen (clenbuterol) by Geneza Pharmaceuticals improves oxygen transportation via increased blood pressure. This makes Clenbuterol a staple of many endurance athletes’ drug protocol.

This drug is also used as an anabolic agent although its anabolism effect remains a contentious issue. In several animal studies, it has exhibited anabolism resulting to muscle gains. However, this has not been observed on human subjects.

The recommended regimen with this drug is to gradually ramp up its dosage. Slowly build up the intake each day until an effective and comfortable range is established. This way, most of the drug’s effects can be avoided, specifically its negative effect on blood pressure. Males typically take 2-8 tablets a day while females take 2 - 4 tablets a day.

The length of time this drug is to be cycled is dependent on the goal of the user. If your objective is to lose fat, GP Clen (clenbuterol) by Geneza Pharmaceuticals highest efficacy is observed when taken in a period of 4 - 6 weeks. During this phase, it is important to monitor temperature increase or decrease.

Remember that as a thermogenic this drug works by elevating the temperature, and thus a decrease or a drop in temperature means its losing its potency. This also signals that you need to break for at least several weeks. Increasing the dosage or prolonging the intake will prove to be ineffective and a total waste of money since the decreased efficacy may mean that the body is growing immune or resistant to its effects.

To heighten its fat-burning ability, many stack GP Clen (clenbuterol) by Geneza Pharmaceuticals with other drugs such as the thyroid hormone Cytomel. This stack is great during contest preparation or cutting cycle when bodybuilders need to get rid of undesirable fat without sacrificing caloric intake.

GP Clen (clenbuterol) by Geneza Pharmaceuticals is also typically stacked with non-aromatizing anabolic steroids, those that do not cause water retention. This stack regimen induces the so-called synergistic effect of drugs.

GP Clen (clenbuterol) by Geneza Pharmaceuticals dosage is dependent on body weight and can be optimized by measuring the body temperature. Athletes usually take 5 - 7 tablets, 100 - 140 mcg per day. For women 80 - 100 mcg/day is usually sufficient. It is advisable to begin GP Clen (clenbuterol) by Geneza Pharmaceuticals by taking only one tablet on the first day and then increasing the dosage by one tablet each of the following days until the desired maximum dosage is reached. The compound is usually taken over a period of 8 - 10 weeks.

Possible side effects of GP Clen (clenbuterol) by Geneza Pharmaceuticals include restlessness, palpitations, tremor (involuntary trembling of fingers), headache, increased perspiration, insomnia, muscle spasms, increased blood pressure, and nausea. Individuals who have been diagnosed of cardio-vascular problems should not take GP Clen (clenbuterol) by Geneza Pharmaceuticals.

GP Andromix by Geneza Pharmaceuticals


GP Andromix is a product brought to you by Geneza Pharmaceuticals. It is a professionally manufactured blend of 3 different hormones in equal quantities, which are all known for their effects in building and enhancing musculature in the body. The product is a liquid blend of these chemicals which is injected directly into the intra-muscular spaces in order to have a direct and significant effect on muscle mass. GP Andromix is appropriately named as it has a very high androgen content. Androgen is known for the effect it has on increasing muscle mass and leading to greater definition in muscle shape. Users of GP Andromix from Geneza Pharmaceuticals will usually inject 1cc per day or 2ccs every other day as part of their steroid cycle.

GP Andromix contains 3 different hormones and these are Testosterone, Trenbolone Acetate (a form of trenbolone) and Masteron. Each 10 millilitre vial contains equal quantities of the 3 hormones, working out at 150 milligrams per millilitre. All 3 of these hormones have the effect of increasing the level of muscle in the body and in combination with each other these effects are compounded. It is popular with athletes and body-building enthusiasts who use it in cycles to remain lean whilst “bulking up” their muscles.

Taking each of these hormones in turn, what are the desirable effects of the testosterone included in this blend? Well, testosterone is the male sex hormone and is present in male bodies in greater quantities than in females. This is why male bodies generally comprise significantly higher muscle levels and significantly lower fat levels than women. The testosterone contained in GP Andromix is a particularly fast acting preparation of the hormone and allows users to gain leaner muscle through its use. Negative side-effects of excess testosterone in the system are well-documented and include hair loss and increased secretion of oil thorough the skin.

The second active substance included in GP Andromix is the hormone trenbolone acetate, often referred to in its abbreviated form, Trenbolone Acetate or tren. This hormone brings many advantages in terms of bodybuilding and developing muscles artificially. Trenbolone Acetate strength and potency as a hormone is the first of these advantages. Trenbolone Acetate is generally considered 3 times as strong in anabolic terms as testosterone. Trenbolone Acetate popularity as a muscle-enhancing substance is largely due to the fact that it results in a hard-looking, “ripped” appearance for its users. Trenbolone Acetate has this effect more noticeably than other similar chemicals because other hormones are broken down by the body into oestrogen, the female hormone, which can reverse some of the impact. Trenbolone acetate dos not break down in this well.

The third and final compound in this hormone mixture is Masteron. Its side-effects include an increase in general strength, but also in feelings of aggression, seen by some to be positive and by others to be negative. Masteron is popular amongst bodybuilders for the same reason as the other hormones already described. Masteron finds particular favour because of its dramatic effects. Many competition body-builders use Masteron directly before competing because it gives their physiques an impressively toned appearance.
