Hey all! I was a member on NM for about 1.5yrs. Found this forum thanks to my girl msclmama. Been competing for the last 3yrs, so still new onto bodybuilding and AAS. I’ve used my fair share, so hopefully I can be of some use for other women looking for information.

Numbers in this post will be approximate* so we do not further confuse our fellow brothers.--------------------------------------------------------------We have 1 gram (1000 mg) of testosterone enanthate.Of that 1000mgs, 700mg* is the hormone testosterone, the other 300mg* is an ester called enanthate.We inject this 1gram into our glute, thigh, delt, trab, lat, pec, bi, tri, calf, hip, forearm, ab, etc.We now have 1000mg (700mg hormone* and 300mg ester*) in our bodies, BUT the hormone is NOT active while the ester is still attached.Over the next 10 days* (the approximate half-life of the enanthate ester) 350mg of testosterone (HALF of the original hormone we injected) will be unattached from the ester, allowing the body to use the hormone, therefore making the molecules ACTIVE. This release is done periodically yet semi-steady over the 10 days*. Giving us an AVERAGE* of 35mg of ACTIVE testosterone per day FROM DAY 1!!!!!!!!!!!! (days 1-10)We now have 350mg* of testosterone left in our body on day 11. But keep in mind it is NOT active. Over the next 10 days*, 175mg* of testosterone (half of the 350mg that is left) will be released from it's ester companion and be activated, ready to be used by the body. AGAIN, this is done periodically over the 10 day period. Giving us an average* of 17.5mgs of active testosterone per day (days 11-20)It is now day 21 and we now have 175mg of testosterone still attached to an enanthate ester. AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN,this 175mg is NOT active and WILL not be activated until it is released from the enanthate ester. Over the next 10 days*, 87.5mgs (half of the remaining 175mg) of testosterone will be detached from the enathate ester and be used by the body. Giving us an average* of 8.75mgs of ACTIVE testosterone per day (days 21-30)We are at day 31 and we still have 87.5mg* of testosterone left in our bodies WAITING to be released from its ester and activated, made usable by the body.This cycle repeats over and over and over until all testosterone hormone has been freed from it's ester friend (in this case enanthate) and used by the body.There are many different esters. Each ester has a specific half-life AND a specific ester weight making up a specific hormone to ester ratio in your "1 gram" of steroid. In this case with the enanthate, the ratio was 7:3.By the time you are finished reading this you should have some type of understanding of the esters in testosterone, and now you can go ahead and read onTestosterone Ester ReportOne 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 than another. Arguments over the superiority of cypionate to enanthate, or Sustanon to all other testosterones are of course very common. Such arguments are in all practicality, baseless. In this report we'll take an authoritative look at the ester and what specifically it does to a steroid.WHAT AN ESTER IS, AND HOW IT WORKSI'm sure that if you have taken an interest in anabolic steroids you have noticed the similarities on the labeling of many drugs. Let's look at testosterone for example. One can find compounds like testosterone cypionate, enanthate, propionate, heptylate; caproate, phenylpropionate, isocaproate, decanoate, acetate, the list goes on and on. In all such cases the parent hormone is testosterone, which had been modified by adding an ester (enanthate, propionate etc.) to its structure. The following question arises: What is the difference between the various esterified versions of testosterone in regards to their use in bodybuilding?An ester is a chain composed primarily of carbon and hydrogen atoms. This chain is typically attached to the parent steroid hormone at the 17th carbon position (beta orientation), although some compounds do carry esters at position 3 (for the purposes of this article it is not crucial to understand the exact position of the ester). Esterification of an injectable anabolic/androgenic steroid basically accomplishes one thing, it slows the release of the parent steroid from the site of injection. This happens because the ester will notably lower the water solubility of the steroid, and increase its lipid (fat) solubility. This will cause the drug to form a deposit in the muscle tissue, from which it will slowly enter into circulation as it is picked up in small quantities by the blood. Generally, the longer the ester chain, the lower the water solubility of the compound, and the longer it will take to for the full dosage to reach general circulation.Slowing the release of the parent steroid is a great benefit in steroid medicine, as free testosterone (or other steroid hormones) previously would remain active in the body for a very short period of time (typically hours). This would necessitate an unpleasant daily injection schedule if one wished to maintain a continuous elevation of testosterone (the goal of testosterone replacement therapy). By adding an ester, the patient can visit the doctor as infrequently as once per month for his injection, instead of having to constantly re-administer the drug to achieve a therapeutic effect. Clearly without the use of an ester, therapy with an injectable anabolic/androgen would be much more difficult.Esterification temporarily deactivates the steroid molecule. With a chain blocking the 17th beta position, binding to the androgen receptor is not possible (it can exert no activity in the body). In order for the compound to become active the ester must therefore first be removed. This automatically occurs once the compound has filtered into blood circulation, where esterase enzymes quickly cleave off (hydrolyze) the ester chain. This will restore the necessary hydroxyl (OH) group at the 17th beta position, enabling the drug to attach to the appropriate receptor. Now and only now will the steroid be able to have an effect on skeletal muscle tissue. You can start to see why considering testosterone cypionate much more potent than enanthate makes little sense, as your muscles are seeing only free testosterone no matter what ester was used to deploy it.ACTIONS OF DIFFERENT ESTERSThere are many different esters that are used with anabolic/androgenic steroids, but again, they all do basically the same thing. Esters vary only in their ability to reduce a steroid's water solubility. An ester like propionate for example will slow the release of a steroid for a few days, while the duration will be weeks with a decanoate ester. Esters have no effect on the tendency for the parent steroid to convert to estrogen or DHT (dihydrotestosterone: a more potent metabolite) nor will it effect the overall muscle-building potency of the compound. Any differences in results and side effects that may be noted by bodybuilders who have used various esterified versions of the same base steroid are just issues of timing. Testosterone enanthate causes estrogen related problems more readily than Sustanon, simply because with enanthate testosterone levels will peak and trough much sooner (1-2 week release duration as opposed to 3 or 4). Likewise testosterone suspension is the worst in regards to gyno and water bloat because blood hormone levels peak so quickly with this drug. Instead of waiting weeks for testosterone levels to rise to their highest point, here we are at most looking at a couple of days. Given an equal blood level of testosterone, there would be no difference in the rate of aromatization or DHT conversion between different esters. There is simply no mechanism for this to be possible.There is however one way that we can say an ester does technically effect potency; it is calculated in the steroid weight. The heavier the ester chain, the greater is its percentage of the total weight. In the case of testosterone enanthate for example, 250mg of esterified steroid (testosterone enanthate) is equal to only 180mg of free testosterone. 70mgs out of each 250mg injection is the weight of the ester. If we wanted to be really picky, we could consider enanthate slightly MORE potent than cypionate (I know this goes against popular thinking) as its ester chain contains one less carbon atom (therefore taking up a slightly smaller percentage of total weight). Propionate would of course come out on top of the three, releasing a measurable (but not significant) amount more testosterone per injection than cypionate or enanthate.IN CONCLUSIONWhile the advent of esters certainly constitutes an invaluable advance in the field of anabolic steroid medicine, clearly you can see that there is no magic involved here. Esters work in a well-understood and predictable manner, and do not alter the activity of the parent steroid in any way other than to delay its release. Although the lure surrounding various steroid products like testosterone cypionate, Sustanon, Omnadren etc. certainly makes for interesting conversation, realistically it just amounts to misinformation that the athlete would be better off ignoring. Testosterone is testosterone and anyone who is going to tell you one ester form of this (or any) hormone is much better than another one should do a little more research, and a lot less talking.ESTER PROFILESSustanon: The "KING" of testosterone blends.The four different testosterone esters in this product certainly look appealing to the consumer, there is no denying that. But for the athlete I think it is all just a matter of marketing (Hell, why buy one ester when you can get four?). In clinical situations I can see some strong uses for it. If you were undergoing testosterone replacement therapy for example, you would probably find Sustanon a much more comfortable option than testosterone enanthate. You would need to visit the doctor less frequently for an injection, and blood levels should be more steadily maintained between treatments. But for the bodybuilder who is injecting 4 ampules of Sustanon per week, there is no advantage over other testosterone products. In fact, the high price tag for Sustanon usually makes it a very poor buy in the face of cheaper testosterone enanthate/cypionate. Bodybuilders should probably stop looking at the four ester issue, and stick with totals (Sustanon is just a 250mg testosterone ampule). Were enanthate to be available for say $10 per amp of 250mg, and Sustanon priced nearly double that, buying the Sustanon would be like throwing money away. If you could get nearly double the milligram amount for the same price with enanthate, this is the better product to go with hands down. Leave the high priced stuff for the guys who don't know any better.Acetate: Chemical Structure C2H4O2.Also referred to as Acetic Acid; Ethylic acid; Vinegar acid; vinegar; Methanecarboxylic acid. Acetate esters delay the release of a steroid for only a couple of days. Contrary to what you may have read, acetate esters do not increase the tendency for fat removal. Again, there is no known mechanism for it to do so. This ester is used on oral primobolan tablets (metenolone acetate), Finaplix (trenbolone acetate) implant pellets, and occasionally testosterone.Propionate: Chemical Structure C3H6O2.Also referred to as Carboxyethane; hydroacrylic acid; Methylacetic acid; Ethylformic acid; Ethanecarboxylic acid; metacetonic acid; pseudoacetic acid; Propionic Acid. Propionate esters will slow the release of a steroid for several days. To keep blood levels from fluctuating greatly, propionate compounds are usually injected two to three times weekly. Testosterone propionate and methandriol dipropionate (two separate propionate esters attached to the parent steroid methandriol) are popular items.Phenylpropionate: Chemical Structure C9H10O2.Also referred to as Propionic Acid Phenyl Ester. Phenylpropionate will extend the release of active steroid a few days longer than propionate. To keep blood levels even, injections are given at least twice weekly. Durabolin is the drug most commonly seen with a phenylpropionate ester (nandrolone phenylpropionate), although it is also used with testosterone in Sustanon and Omnadren.Isocarpoate: Chemical Structure C6H12O2.Also referred to as Isocaproic Acid; isohexanoate; 4-methylvaleric acid. Isocaproate begins to near enanthate in terms of release. The duration is still shorter, with a notable hormone level being sustained for approximately one week. This ester is used with testosterone in the blended products Sustanon and Omnadren.Caproate: Chemical Structure C6H12O2.Also referred to as Hexanoic acid; hexanoate; n-Caproic Acid; n-Hexoic acid; butylacetic acid; pentiformic acid; pentylformic acid; n-hexylic acid; 1-pentanecarboxylic acid; hexoic acid; 1-hexanoic acid; Hexylic acid; Caproic acid. This ester is identical to isocarpoate in terms of atom count and weight, but is laid out slightly different (Isocaproate has a split configuration, difficult to explain here but easy to see on paper). Release duration would be very similar to isocaproate (levels sustained for approximately one weak), perhaps coming slightly closer to enanthate due to its straight chain. Caproate is the slowest releasing ester used in Omnadren, which is why most athletes notice more water retention with this compound.Enanthate: Chemical Structure C7H14O2.Also referred to as heptanoic acid; enanthic acid; enanthylic acid; heptylic acid; heptoic acid; Oenanthylic acid; Oenanthic acid. Enanthate is one of the most prominent esters used in steroid manufacture (most commonly seen with testosterone but is also used in other compounds like Primobolan Depot). Enanthate will release a steady (yet fluctuating as all esters are) level of hormone for approximately 10-14 days. Although in medicine enanthate compounds are often injected on a bi-weekly or monthly basis, athletes will inject at least weekly to help maintain a uniform blood level.Cypionate: Chemical Structure C8H14O2.Also referred to as Cyclopentylpropionic acid, cyclopentylpropionate. Cypionate is a very popular ester here in the U.S., although it is scarcely found outside this region. Its release duration is almost identical to enanthate (10-14 days), and the two are likewise thought to be interchangeable in U.S. medicine. Althletes commonly hold the belief than cypionate is more powerful than enanthate, although realistically there is little difference between the two. The enanthate ester is in fact slightly smaller than cypionate, and it therefore releases a small (perhaps a few milligrams) amount of steroid more in comparison.Decanoate: Chemical Structure C10H20O2.Also referred to as decanoic acid; capric acid; caprinic acid; decylic acid, Nonanecarboxylic acid. The Decanoate ester is most commonly used with the hormone nandrolone (as in Deca-Durabolin) and is found in virtually all corners of the world. Testosterone decanoate is also the longest acting constituent in Sustanon, greatly extending its release duration. The release time with Decanoate compounds is listed to be as long as one month, although most recently we are finding that levels seem to drop significantly after two weeks. To keep blood levels more uniform, athletes (as they have always known to do) will follow a weekly injection schedule.Undecylenate: Chemical Structure C11H20O2.Also referred to as Undecylenic acid; Hendecenoic acid; Undecenoic acid. This ester is very similar to decanoate, containing only one carbon atom more. Its release duration is likewise very similar (approximately 2-3 weeks), perhaps extending a day or so past that seen with decanoate. Undecylenate seems to be exclusive to the veterinary preparation Equipoise (boldenone undecylenate), although there is no reason it would not work well in human-use preparations (Equipoise certainly works fine for athletes). Again, weekly injections are most common.Undecanoate: Chemical Structure C11H22O2.Also referred to as Undecanoic Acid; 1-Decanecarboxylic acid; Hendecanoic acid; Undecylic acid. Undecanoate is not a commonly found ester, and only appears to be used in the nandrolone preparation Dynabolan, and oral testosterone undecanoate (Andriol). Since this ester is chemically very similar to undecylenate (it is only 2 hydrogen atoms larger), it has a similar release duration (approximately 2-3 weeks). Although this ester is used in the oral preparation Andriol, there is no reason to believe it carries any properties unique of other esters. Andriol in fact works very poorly at delivering testosterone, bolstering the idea that oral administration is not the idea use of esterified androgens.Laurate: Chemical structure C12H24O2.Also referred to as Dodecanoic acid, laurostearic acid, duodecyclic acid, 1-undecanecarboxylic acid, and dodecoic acid. Laurate is the longest releasing ester used in commercial steroid production, although longer acting esters do exist. Its release duration would be closer to one month than the other esters listed above, although realistically we are probably to expect a notable drop in hormone level after the third week. Laurate is exclusively found in the veterinary nandrolone preparation Laurabolin, perhaps seen as slightly advantageous over a decanoate ester due to a less frequent injection schedule. Again athletes will most commonly inject this drug weekly, no doubt in part due to its low strength (25mg/ml or 50mg/ml).It took me awhile to write this and I hope now you may have a better understanding of the testosterone esters and how they work. Remember knowledge is POWER

Hi Everyone! Just wanted to take some time to formally introduce myself! Old member on NM (younggunz). I’ve neen with BT for the last 5 years. I have posted a new log, and will continue to post there for those updates. My bsckground is women’s bodybuilding, if you’d like to see me a little more I placed 2nd at the Van Pro is WBB. First international show for me! It was a blast! I have an extensive competitive history and am active in the Bodybuilding community. After retiring from the military I now work as an Athletic Therapist and personal trainer. Looking forward to sharing recipes, and talking about women’s health and AAS use. I have been doing protocols for women with BTs products for the last 5 years. As well as helping women understand their own body and gear use. I’ll do my absolute best to bring whatever knowledge I have and hopefully bring more and more women to the board. Be prepared lads! Lol! The She-Beasts are here ? Thanks xo - msclmama

I’m a friend of msclmama. I haven’t personally used bt yet but will be trying to product soon. Read tons a good reviews. Also eager to try the gh and see how it works compared to some of the stuff I use here in b.c. I will post a review after a few weeks of use to see how my body reacts

Members that are active on all the boards need to get the word out. If there anything i hate the most is scammers stealing people hard earned money .

Never done business with them but i think ill pass an order soon ? all good comments

GREAT INFORMATION enjoy the read Training with weights is often the most neglected aspect of the female workoutprogram. And although there are a variety of reasons why women tend not to lift weights, they usually center around two quintessential questions: 1) “Won’t lifting weights make me big and bulky?” 2) “What is best, machines or free weights?” QUESTION #1… The primary reason given by women for not lifting weights is the fear of getting too “big” or "bulky". In reality, such a thing couldn’t be further from the truth. How or what one lifts (stimulus) is not directly correlated with how they look (size). Little guys and gals can be extremely strong and vice versa. Weight lifting makes you stronger and to some degree tighter, not bigger. If men, with testosterone-based (muscle building) systems can lift for years and never get truly big, to think that an estrogen-based (non-muscle building) female’s system would permit such growth is ludicrous. Remember what we learned earlier, “You are what you eat”, as dietary composition and overall caloric intake increase so does the body. Logically, the inverse would also have to be true, in that as calories are restricted/decreased the body becomes smaller and lighter...a valid and reliable process commonly known as ‘Dieting’! When presented with this information, many will dismiss it based on personal experience stating something to the effect of, “Well when I began lifting, I immediately noticed that my arms and legs were getting bigger, and this was further evident in the tight way my clothes began fit.” Although this is seemingly irrefutable evidence, the reason is far more an issue of increased muscle volume, than actual growth. For example, bedridden hospital patients often experience a condition known as “Muscle Atrophy”, referring to the wasting or loss of muscle tissue resulting from a lack of use often due to disease or injury. This condition though far more pronounced in such patients, is somewhat analogous to what happens to a person who doesn’t workout. Of course their muscles don’t waste away, but due to a form of stimulus deprivation, the muscles experience significant shrinkage resulting in below normal tone and tautness. Essentially, the muscles are filled below capacity, which causes them to droop and sag. When weight training stimulus is reintroduced, the muscles of the body rapidly respond as if being supplied with long denied nourishment, sparking an inflation of sorts which causes an expansion to potential volume. Sadly, the reaching of this very normal (full muscular) state, after several years of neglect, is generally viewed as the onset of bulk or mass building. Should lifting continue the muscles would suddenly, and very stubbornly, plateau at their peak capacity. SO PLEASE DON’T BE AFRAID TO LIFT WOMEN…LIFT! QUESTION #2… Welcome aboard. Now that you’ve joined the ranks of weightlifter, the next most popular issue is “Free Weights vs. Machine Weights”. Both camps contain a high number of constituents and can typically justify their respective positions at great length. The truth however, is a bit more complex…you see neither form compliantly fits into what we would call “Best”. Both of these facets prove invaluable to the lifter, as they emphasize different aspects and phases of muscle building. Generally speaking, the majority of the novice’s time should be spent in the free weight area because they: (1) require balancing when lifted, meaning the muscles work harder throughout the process as they labor to align and stabilize the workload and; (2) allow for a greater range of motion both at the start and end of the lift permitting more muscle flexion and contraction. Complimentarily, machine weights have defined start and stop points for greater safety, possessing weight alignment and stabilization factors. These elements make them ideal for: some finishing exercises that are better performed with cables; working around injuries that free weights would expose and necessarily restrict and; as aids for younger and older lifters who would greatly benefit from the safety factors mentioned above. Thus, for the otherwise healthy individual, the perfect training regimen would include a majority of free weight training in conjunction with supplementary machine weight work. MUSCLE BUILDING Weightlifting can improve your body, but lifting alone rarely produces the results sought by those who engage in it. As expressed earlier in “Eating To Build Muscle” and later throughout this work, the key to sculpting a better body (conditioning it to be stronger, harder and more attractive by lifting and tightening specific areas) is far more comprehensive. This section will explore the requirements for efficient muscle building, among which are well planned and timely meals, in conjunction with the essentials of muscle breakdown via stimulation, and repair through rest & recovery. The key components to muscle stimulation are volume, intensity and consistency. Sufficient doses of these three work to create tiny fissures known as micro-tears within the individual muscle fibers. If given the proper raw materials (proteins) the body can repair these fissures in a way similar to that of a damaged brick wall. The protein acts as a mortar of sorts filling in the tears which in conjunction with enough time to solidify, fortifies the rebuilt muscle with even greater capacity so as to handle the former workload in the future. This increased muscular capacity, explains the increases in your training weights. Perpetuation of the breakdown and repair cycle continues until full genetic potential is achieved, at which point no more muscle can be made without exogenous hormonal/steroidal assistance. DEVELOPING A PROGRAM A frequently quoted excuse for not lifting weights is, “I really have no idea what to do with weights.” Unfortunately the way most people, women and men alike, approach weight training is to join a gym and mimic what they see. Needless to say this is not a good idea, and such a haphazard approach won’t effectively change your body. Competitors and serious training enthusiasts use well structured workouts, and as a result of their desire to increase muscularity, the vast majority of them lift heavy most of the time. There are as many weight training programs as there are self-proclaimed fitness gurus. These methods emphasize specific goals such as muscle development, tightening and toning, timesaving maintenance, strength building, etc. The most popular of these splits are the ones that effectively work the whole body in one cycle, while simultaneously providing the necessary rest for previously worked muscle groups. Remember that development, regardless of your individual goal, comes by virtue of proper nutrition, appropriate muscle stimulus and adequate rest. Training regimens should be selected based on your goal orientation and available time. Here is collection of some the most efficient programs and their respective applications. For those with little time. This is primarily for maintenance purposes.

This routine does a superb job of providing both stimulus and rest. Although it may look too strenuous, it should be noted that while two groups are working one day, the others are resting. Additionally, this workout provides enough rest that some elect not to schedule an off day, and instead upon completing day three, immediately begin with day one (providing a full 72hrs of rest per body part). These people choose to let off days fall where they may, secure in the fact that they train regularly enough to be largely unaffected by missed workouts. Another emphasis of this plan is its allowance for the working of multiple muscle heads which are very specific working areas of each muscle group. For instance, the deltoids or shoulders contain three muscle heads known as the anterior (front), medial (middle), and posterior (rear). Very few exercises are able to hit each head within a muscle group, it is therefore important to deliver specialized attention to the various heads in order to promote complete development, providing both functional and aesthetic value. ‘How To’ illustrations as well as numerous exercise variations (angles, range of motion, hand or foot positioning, supination, etc.) can be found within any basic weightlifting book, or muscle magazine. The various exercises have very common names and can be Googled for greater description, as well as pictures and animations of each. Here is a very basic example of how this program typically looks, along with a diversity of exercises for the various muscle groups, and an in parentheses notation of the targeted area. Be sure to customize it based on your individual level of development, needs and goals. DAY 1 CHEST TRICEPS LOWER to MIDDLE ABDOMINALS (bent knee for beginners; straight leg for intermediate; weighted for advanced) UPPER to MIDDLE ABDOMINALS DAY 2 SHOULDERS (front - middle shoulder) (rear shoulder) LEGS OBLIQUES LOWER BACK DAY 3 BACK BICEPS LOWER to MIDDLE ABDOMINALS (bent knee for beginners; straight leg for intermediate; weighted for advanced) UPPER to MIDDLE ABDOMINALS DAY 4 PRINCIPLES OF WEIGHT TRAINING The level of intensity is a major question when it comes to serious training, and a topic on which everyone has a theory. Some go with the "30 or 45-Second" rules, others wait a full minute or more, while still others simply train instinctively. But just how much time should elapse between sets, and should you permit more time for heavier lifts? The great Franco Columbo summed up both questions in the simplest of answers, when asked how long to rest between sets he replied, "As long as it takes to catch your breath." There are however, numerous far less intuitive techniques that are routinely adhered to by premiere athletes. These specific guidelines encompass a variety of uniformed methods, are most often referred to as the 'Weider Principles'. They are so named for Joe Weider who helped launch the fitness era, and is considered the grandfather of modern bodybuilding. This section will explain eleven of the most popular Weider principles of bodybuilding, and since they are not meant for use at every stage of training, each is followed in parentheses by a letter “B”, “I”, or “A” and stand for beginner, intermediate, and advanced training levels respectively. Muscle Priority Training (I & A) - Training your most underdeveloped muscles first, so as to subject them to the maximum possible effort. If you have a weak body-part you want to improve, train it first in your workout, before you begin to fatigue. Pyramiding (B, I & A) - When using multiple sets for a given exercise, doing your first set with less weight for more reps, gradually increasing the weight and decreasing the reps over the remainder of your sets. This allows you to gradually warm up a muscle group, preparing it for the resistance to come in the next set. Muscle Confusion Principle (I & A) - Muscles acclimate to a specific type of stress causing them to "habituate" or "plateau" when the same stress is continually applied over time. You should constantly vary exercises, sets, reps and weight to avoid acclimation, and to sustain growth and change. Pre-Exhaustion Training (A) - Pre-fatiguing a larger muscle with an isolated, single-joint movement so it can be even more exhausted by the compound movements to follow. When you do an exercise like the bench press which works not only the chest, but also smaller subordinate muscles which might fatigue before your chest is fully exhausted. By doing a chest isolation exercise beforehand, you can fatigue your chest prior to bench pressing to chest failure. Supersets (I & A) - Working opposing muscle groups in back-to-back fashion, taking as little rest as possible in between sets. Alternating sets between opposing muscle groups such as biceps & triceps, and chest & back greatly increases intensity. When you train one muscle group, the other is recovering (sometimes even being stretched) as you complete the set. With two muscles or muscle groups being worked, more nourishing oxygenated blood is pumped into the area. Tri-Sets (A) - Doing three sets in a row for the same body-part with as little rest as possible in between sets. Three exercises in a row more thoroughly exhausts the muscle. This training technique is so demanding that it should only be done on occasion, and is more often used by bodybuilders in their pre-contest training. It is not optimal for muscle building. Set System Training (B, I & A) - Simply doing more than one set for each exercise. This is the opposite of high-intensity training which involves performing one set per exercise. Often, the first couple of sets aren't enough to fatigue your muscle. Giant Sets (A) - Doing 4-6 exercises for the same body-part with little rest between sets. Giant sets are used to create overwhelming stimulation to a body part and totally exhausts the muscles involved. This technique should only be used occasionally as your body needs time to recover from this level of effort. This type of training is used more for muscular endurance and calorie burning than for putting on mass. Instinctive Training (A) - This involves experimenting with your workouts and paying attention to how your body reacts to certain types of training. The fundamentals of bodybuilding training are the same for everyone, but individual uniqueness still exists. Thus, fine tuning becomes more important, the further along one gets in training. Whatever you are accustomed to is going to feel best, but you have to figure out what actually produces the best results and adjust accordingly. Compound Sets (I & A) - Alternating two exercises for the same muscle group, taking as little rest as possible between each set. Each same body part exercise fatigues the muscle involved in slightly different ways (often working separate muscle heads), so doing two exercises in a row with little rest in between achieves a deeper level of stimulation and muscle pump. Staggered Sets (I & A) - Training smaller, slower developing body parts like calves or forearms in between sets for major body parts. Arnold Schwarzenegger relied on this principle early in his career to develop his calves. He would do a set for chest, back or shoulders, followed by a set of calf raises while his major muscle group was recovering for the next set. He'd then alternate sets for the working body part and calves. His calves got plenty of time to recover between sets and by the end of his workout; he would have subjected them to as many as 15-20 total sets of various calf raises. The glutes, hips and thighs are notoriously stubborn areas on the female anatomy. These body parts can seem unshapely or less than flattering even after they’ve been significantly strengthened and cardio trained. The cold hard fact of the matter is that they’ll likely require extra attention, and this what “Finishing Exercises (FIs) are all about. An argument can be made that anything other than a basic exercise can be considered an FI. For example, if the biceps require a greater peak, then Preacher Curls become FIs. Similarly, if the calf muscle lacks the diamond shaped head, the proper FI would be Donkey Calf Raises. There are also some exercises which are inherently FIs because they should only be performed after muscular development occurs, but still lacks that polished presentation look, bringing us back to the glutes, hips and thighs. Here is a blend of both types mentioned above which work as specific toning exercises to downsize thighs, raise the gluteus maximus, and tighten hip muscles. Again these common exercise names can be located on the internet along with greater description, pictures and animations.

Not at all ? But I do want women who may read it and understand I didn’t start out that high. It’s a slow gradual increase. I feel very good at that amount!!

Intake is relevant to the user and their biochemistry. What’s a lot for one person isn’t a lot for another. Honestly compared to men’s cycles it’s 1/4th of what most men use. Perhaps you need to re think your cycle ? Mine seems to be working great!

Jesus intake more juice then me.

Hey Everyone! Id like to share my last few cycles as a lady that uses BT. As I have mentioned previously, I have used ONLY BT for 5 years. I’ve never used any other product. My on season for the Van Pro;(placing second at my first international show). I personally found I could use more while in prep than I can now. I am very sensitive to anything off season opposed to when I am in prep. On Season (each has varied for each show) I did two shows back to back for this cycle. Test E 250 = 250mg once per week I prefer Enanthate as I do find for women it keeps the hormone levels steadier. No huge dips or spikes (things we need to consider ex time of when your usual menstruatal cycle begins and ends even if you do not have one, take note as timing of your testosterone can really help). Mast E starting the first week at 20, bumping each week by 10 up to 60. Remained at 60 until the show. - Loved the size I got from Mast even while on a big caloric deficit and high intense cardio. I was also full keto. So Mast for me really helped keep my size. I’ll akways now use this. Do note - I am an FBB. I am 168 at 5’2. This is not a cycle for Figure or even WP. Tren E - 20mg once a week - How does one even get that little into a pin? Lol! It’s very small but trust me, ladies we really don’t need much. Ever woman will differ but as we know Tren is not for the faint of heart. Only experienced ladies should dip into this one. I DO love the results on very small amounts of Tren and will use it only for the last 4 weeks of this prep to harden my appearance.Which it did! Orals: 1mg Adex ED (This really helped keep any estrogen at bay, and trust me when I tell you I can feel it when I don’t take it). 40mg Anavar 20mg Win 12 week cycle Liver came back fine after blood testing as well. Off Season Current Stack Test E 250-300; Bumping bi weekly to see how I feel. Anavar 30mg, bumping up weekly to hopefully 60. Depending how I feel and any side effects. I have detailed logs from each year of prep using only BT products. While I have watched other women terribly destroy their bodies using bunk gear, I have been able to use cycles year after year and have zero issues! That truly says ALOT for a product! If you guys guys have any questions for ladies and hear, both myself and muscle beauty have some great experience using BT! - msclmama

I Found this article a very interesting read for sure:: Viagra use, contrary to popular belief, has no effect on your sex drive. Some guys go as far as to giving it to their girlfriends hoping for sparks. But no luck. Viagra use deals with blood flow to the penis. The essential ingredient is a mental willingness or mental arousal. Without the will there is no much for the Viagra to do but give you an occasional heading and some ergogenic fat burning effects. Once the will is there however, hard and prolonged erections are the result. Most of the side effects I come across is really as a result of normal, healthy people using it. The whole mental part of taking it and hoping for an increased sexual is in most cases enough of a mental arousal in itself. some younger males claim they had no effect but when you couple performance with alcohol use it actually shows increased sexual endurance and harder erections. With increased age both sex drive and the intensity and duration of erections will eventually reduce so Viagra use works well with older males. It is its use with recreational alcohol that has made it it no. 1 sex drug of our time. Most males experience increased arousal when using alcohol. Inversely, the more you drink the more your sexual performance struggle. Viagra seem impartial to the effects of alcohol and keeps working. As long as you are keen that is. Yes I know there are many guys that think they are absolute Tigers after a night out with the boys, but the reality is that the more you drink the less likely you are to perform. Viagra’s cousin, Cialis, seems to have a marked reduction in effectiveness when used with moderate to excessive alcohol. On the other hand it is active for much longer than Viagra that works for around 4-8 hours. Cialis works for 2-3 days. Viagra is “harsh” in that it sometimes causes hot flushes, sweating, painful and prolonged erections and a reduction in sexual sensitivity in some people. As with Viagra, Cialis is also defendant on your mental state and has no physical effect on sex drive. Due to it’s reduced performance with alcohol, it does not share Viagras popularity as a recreational sex drug.

Hey guys, I'm on low dose GH for skin, joint etc. I saw a segment on Dave Palumbo's channel where he was saying GH antagonizes insulin, so it may keep your blood sugar levels higher. Anyone know if this is true and if so what kind of effects that would mean on insulin sensitivity?

You gotta quit shooting felts and you’ll be fine.

That is some posterior chain.

Update all back to normal, took a week! thanks

Perfect! Consider it done! I’ll add it in as well!

Gracias amigo although the days of running up the numbers with the lovely ladies are for now in the past as I got snagged LOL. Sill get eye fucked 24/7 and phone numbers handed to me on a regular basis but I am being a good boy and concentrating on business, relaxing on my own terms and getting to 8% BF and holding. Same old story though I get down in the 210 range diced up and vascular then I want to start eating again and before ya know it a couple months later 250 plus again. Lucky I travel to Bogotá every couple of months to see customers. I can buy clothes that fit there pretty easy but not here on the coast. So great year round weather cheap living laid back culture and beach time is a religion but no clothing options. Could be worse though could be stuck with Truedope like you folks which aint fair. G

With tb500 I would of added BPC-157. Miracles both together

what are you running?

Cant wait for you to try them i know you will love them so many benefits....

heres some literature Growth hormone (GH) plays an important role in regulating glucose homeostasis, and impaired glucose homeostasis and increased risk for diabetes have been reported in association with both GH insufficiency and GH excess.1–3 In addition to impaired quality of life, reduced physical activity, decreased bone mineral density and adverse changes in body composition notably increased visceral fat mass, and growth hormone defi- ciency (GHD) in adults is characterized by an adverse metabolic profile and elevated cardiovascular risk markers.4 Furthermore, risk factors associated with diabetes in the general population,5 as a family history of diabetes mellitus or compromised beta-cell function and high body mass index (BMI), have been proposed to increase the risk for adverse changes in carbohydrate metabo- lism during GH replacement in patients with GHD.1Metabolic syndrome is a complex clinical condition character- ized by the presence of multiple metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors in the same individual, including high blood pressure, abdominal obesity, lipid abnormalities [low levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and high levels of triglycerides], insulin resistance and impaired fasting glucose.6 In the general population, metabolic syndrome is accompanied by

It looks like you're "cheating" but doing your pull-ups this way has several advantages. Take a look.(refer to image attatched Even though you're still doing a "vertical" pulling motion, there are some unique differences between rack pull-ups and normal pull-ups. With this variation, you get better lengthening of the lats via spinal flexion.Normally, spinal flexion is frowned upon because holding a neutral spine is important for movements like the squat and the deadlift. However, in order to fully lengthen the lats, spinal flexion is actually a requirement. To test this, simply bend over and touch your toes, trying to stretch your lats as much as possible. Now arch your back (spinal extension) and see what happens. The lats shorten. With the traditional chin-up or pull-up, we keep a certain amount of spinal extension mostly because the legs are behind us. With rack pull-ups, the legs are in front of the torso, allowing you to actually get the lats into a fully lengthened position. The two things we really want to take advantage of to maximize growth is to fully lengthen and shorten the muscles being worked. At the bottom of the rack pull-up, you can actually round the back and fully stretch the lats out. On the concentric (lifting up) portion of the exercise, the motion resembles the old Gironda sternum chin-up. Most people aren't strong enough to perform that movement to benefit from it, but with the rack pull-up, some aspects of it are obtainable. You'll begin the concentric portion by arching your spine and then continue to do so throughout to fully contract the lats. You should lean slightly away from the bar, which will also bring a lot of scapular retraction into play. This makes the rack pull-up more of a "complete" back movement than the traditional pull-up. To make it more difficult, have someone place a dumbbell or plate on the top of your legs. Straps are optional, but probably a good idea since we're trying to really overload the back here and not make this about grip work. At the top of the movement, the top of your legs should be parallel to the floor. If they're higher than that, then you'll end up with too much of a leverage advantage and they aren't as difficult. If they're lower than parallel, then achieving the shortening of the lats and scapular retraction aren't quite maximized. As a bonus, if regular pull-ups and chin-ups bother your cranky elbows, this variation will feel a thousand times better.

Wonderful! Let me know if you need a hand. BT is the only product I’ve used since starting! #madebybt

It’s the only thing I use for anxiety and ptsd as well as sleep. I have used thc and cbd religiously and notice a huge difference in my sleep, mood, anxiety. I would recommend it highly to anyone (especially the cbd if you dislike the psychoactive properties of thc). I msy May have to start a thread on THC/CBD!! ?

what a post,love it

there is no btboss email.id msg @ShowStopper to verify you got correct email;s.

Awesome intro cheers!

Contest Prep by Allen Cress There are many people out there who call themselves bodybuilders, but in my opinion, unless you have attempted to take the stage at least once in your life, you are just a weightlifter. There is a big difference between having a physique with some visible abs that looks good on the beach and the body that you see in competition, with striated glutes, paper-thin skin, and veins like you’d see in an anatomy chart. Many have attempted to step on stage, and many have failed. In my mind, that’s what separates a wannabe bodybuilder from the real deal. Bodybuilding isn’t for everyone, and for some it just isn’t in the cards due to body structure and genetics. You don’t necessarily need to have superior genetics like Jay Cutler to compete, but contest prep does require discipline, hard work, consistency, and the drive to do what it takes to get results. At the end of the day, genetics (and the judges) may determine the on-stage winner; however, the fact that you may not receive a trophy doesn’t mean you are not a personal winner as long as you did everything possible to be your best on that day. As I tell my clients, if you enjoy the process and the challenge, then you have already won. Where do you start? One general recommendation I make is to hire qualified help. Even with the information in this article, which is written in a general format, there are too many individual differences among potential competitors that must be addressed. An expert will be able to hone in on your particular body and how it works, and then will be able to apply tried-and-true principles to achieve specific results while avoiding the traps and pitfalls that can occur during contest prep. Also, a professional will provide an objective viewpoint and will be able to help you keep your mind on the right path; as the diet progresses, it becomes as much a mental challenge for some as a physical one. The Diet: A lot of bodybuilders believe there is only one single process to follow to get ready for a show. Most pick a certain number of weeks before the show to start dieting, usually 12-16 at minimum, and then just gradually drop their calories as the show gets closer. How early you should start your diet depends on your current condition and how much fat you are carrying. A good rule of thumb is to give yourself one week for every percentage point of body fat. Therefore, if you have roughly 12% body fat, start at 12 weeks out; if you are over 16% body fat, start at 20 weeks out. There are also many bodybuilders who still follow outdated and useless practices during prep such as carb depleting and then reloading the week before the show; all that does is risk damage to the physique. I like to use methods that are based more on science and in-the-trenches experience and not merely on tradition. Always plan extra time for contest prep to ensure optimum fat loss and retention of muscle mass. Specifically, you want to maintain a relative calorie deficit rather than an absolute calorie deficit (an important point I learned from Scott Abel). The reason for this is that in an absolute calorie deficit, an athlete can and almost always will lose muscle mass, which we would prefer to avoid at all costs. In an absolute caloric deficit, the body will be more stubborn about giving up fat because it is in starvation mode, which is roughly 750-1000 calories below an individuals BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate). In this state, the metabolism will protect fat storage at the expense of muscle in order to maintain energy expenditure. For any diet, and especially for contest diets, a better approach is to use a relative caloric deficit in which an individual begins the diet at or near his normal BMR, which is the rate at which the body burns calories while at rest. Once the BMR has been established, the diet begins. There are various methods that can be used to prepare for a contest…the particular approach all depends on a person’s current needs state, how they have been eating up to that point, and their current condition. Some of these methods are: 1) staggering calories (one of my favorite methods), 2) carb cycling, or just a 3) a steady-state approach at or near the BMR, while introducing fat burning activities (such as a structured training program and cardio) to create a fat-burning machine rather than a fat-storing machine. So how do we figure out a person’s BMR? There are some good equations out there, but to keep things simple, just take your bodyweight times 12 or 14 if you are in decent shape (below 14% body fat) or your body weight times 10 if you are on the fatter side (above 15%). Next, subtract 300-500 calories from that number, depending on how much fat you have to lose. There are several factors that influence the BMR, including gender, hormonal levels, age, height, and background. Therefore, it would be useful to have a record of a few days worth of eating in order to poinpoint an individual’s current caloric intake and how closely it matches their calculated BMR. Once calorie consumption is assessed, then we proceed to choosing an appropriate diet strategy. I recommend breaking the calories up into five, six, or even seven evenly spaced meals throughout the day. In this way, the body is more easily able to process smaller amounts of food efficiently and to keep insulin levels steady. Once the general eating strategy is set, it is then necessary to structure the diet in terms of fat, carb, and protein percentages. One point I want to get across immediately is that in a calorie deficit (as in a pre-contest diet), there will be no predisposition for your body to store fat from ANY energy source (carbs, fat, or protein). Therefore, when dieting, don’t be concerned that a certain energy source may make you fat (the usual targeted source is carbs); instead, focus your sights on determining the best strategy to optimize fat loss while insuring retention of your hard earned muscle. Carbs and fats are the protein-sparing energy sources– enough of these must be present in a diet so that protein can be used to build and rebuild tissue. If not, the body will use protein for the production of energy at the expense of rebuilding tissue. A word on carbs: Carbs are not the enemy, but too much insulin may be a problem when trying to get ripped on a diet. The problem is that too much insulin and too little insulin can both result in feelings of hunger. Therefore, to control insulin levels, we should monitor physiological feedback after meals. If there is too much insulin, the body feels tired and the mind sluggish. If insulin is low, the body feels hungry, but focus and concentration remain clear. Finding a balance between these two situations then becomes a matter of tweaking the meals during a diet. Someone who feels tired and lethargic after a meal may be consuming too many calories at that particular meal. If he feels hungry, but is still focused and alert, then his body is in a fat burning mode. As time goes on most bodybuilders get used to the hunger…it’s just part of a typical contest prep! Getting back to macronutrients, how do we decide the ratios of proteins, carbs, and fats? As an example, let’s take a 200-lb client. Protein needs would be roughly 275 grams, as I like to keep protein around 45-50% of total calorie intake during contest diets. Because his BMR would be around 2400 calories, according to our calculations, I would recommend that 50% of that should consist of 300 grams of protein (just take 2400, multiply by .50, then divide by 4). Now there are 1200 calories left to divide between carbs and fat. Using a carb-based diet as an example, I would keep carbs at 35-40% and fat at 10-15%. I have gotten many competitors into ripped contest condition using this model. In terms of fat loss, you should monitor bodyweight and the image in the mirror each week (the mirror will always overrule the scale weight) as well as your body’s feedback on hunger, focus, energy levels, etc.. Remember, this is one of many possible ways to diet for a contest, and it always comes down to an individual’s physiology. This is one of the best parts of what I do–manipulate and coax the body to come in shredded and watch it all unfold in front of me. Also keep in mind that if the body is in a fat burning mode, water intake needs to be increased as well. During diet periods, more body fluids will be lost and replenishment becomes crucial. Proper fluid replenishment and electrolyte balance is important at this stage to maintain cell integrity and intracellular water levels. Therefore, sodium ingestion should also be kept quite high through the whole prep by using sea salt and certain condiments. After you have taken all of these variables into consideration and have set a plan into action, you can then and only then look for other factors that may influence performance. Finding the right training protocol and minimizing stress levels are factors outside of the diet that can contribute positively or negatively to performance. The others, of course, are supplements and drugs. Too many readers already rely too heavily on pharmacological influences so I will not go into that subject. However, supplements can be put to use in pre-contest dieting. Products are called “supplements” for a reason–they supplement diet and training, but they do not take the place of them. Supplements exist to aid the process of fat loss and muscle retention but they will not replace bad training, coaching, or dieting, and will not fix what is wrong with your overall protocol. Cardio: When it comes to cardio, the more fat you have to lose, the more cardio you may need to do. Keep your cardio sessions at 25-45 minutes; longer sessions will cost you hard earned muscle. If you have a lot of fat to lose, the key is to start cardio at the same time as you start dieting. The problem most competitors have is that they tend to throw the kitchen sink at themselves from the start, whether it be cardio or diet. If you start out at six 1-hour sessions per day and plateau at eight weeks left, where do you go from there? Yes, you would initially lose a lot of weight, but once you hit that plateau, you have no option but to go to extremes. Two sessions per day on top of workouts? You want bodybuilding to add something positive to your life, not consume your life. Furthermore, if you go to these extremes, the after-effects once the contest is over could be dangerous, and this is something you want to avoid as much as possible. So you want to get the most out of the least when it comes to cardio—add it only when needed. I would not recommend you start with more than three sessions a week at 30 min each unless you are completely out of shape. Keep your cardio at an easy-to-maintain pace. The rule of thumb is that you should be able to maintain a conversation but still build up a sweat. You are a bodybuilder, not a runner; save the high intensity stuff for your workouts and keep cardio at a comfortable level. Now I know some individuals like HITT, but for the most part, once you are a month or so into contest prep, you will more than likely end up burning off muscle with this approach. If you want to do it for the first few weeks, that’s good, just be cautious. The time of day at which you do your cardio depends on your lifestyle and other factors. Forget this idea that “first thing in the morning on empty stomach” is absolutely necessary. That may be the absolute best-case scenario, but if you don’t have a good bike or treadmill at home, and you need to drive to the gym or you do your cardio after training, it’ll be fine. Don’t sweat the small details, just maintain consistency with your diet and training program. First of all, I want to point out that if you didn’t put in the hard work and a good plan to get ripped ahead of time, then no amount of water manipulation, fat loading, or carb loading is going to work in the end. I often hear competitors say that they were just holding water—no, you were just not lean enough, period! If you are shredded, then proper loading can help you to look fuller and dryer in order to present the best package possible on stage. What you do with your water intake depends on how you will be peaking. If you carb load, water manipulation will have to be different than if you fat load. For carb loading, you need to know that carbs require roughly three grams of water for one gram of carbs in order to load into the muscle cell. For simplicity, let’s say you are loading 400 grams of carbs, which would require 1200 grams of water to load into the muscle. To help with drying out, instead of taking in 1200 g of water, you take in 700 g of water. The body will take the rest of the water needed from its subcutaneous stores. Unless a client needs to make weight, we would typically start loading on Wednesday (Saturday being the contest day) and taper on Thursday; that way, we have some wiggle room for adjustments come Friday and Saturday, depending on how the client is looking. Therefore, you should decrease water as you decrease carb intake, but you should never completely cut water if you are just carb loading. Also, when you carb load you should use carb sources such as potatoes, rice, oatmeal, and rice cakes and not simple sugars. All those will do is cause bloating and water retention. Another method, and one I use more often, is fat loading. Carb loading can work and work well for an individual with a higher metabolism, but for those more sensitive to carbs, it may be much harder to peak and keep water under control. Instead, fat loading can be done by increasing calories on Wednesday and Thursday (using good fats such as natural peanut butter, whole eggs, olive oil, and red meat) with minimal carbs at a couple of meals as well as keeping water intake low on the day of the show. Alternatively, this can also be accomplished by taking in simple sugars along with very high fat foods using the correct timing. I learned this method when working with Scott Abel. You must cut out water completely for this approach to work, usually around 12 hours or so before the contest, in order to get rid of the little interstitial water you may have and to make room for fat loading. But first, before you cut your water, you need to take in as much water as you can starting on Tuesday and leading up to Friday. This will send the message to your body to turn off ADH (anti-diuretic hormone), which will ensure that you will continue to lose water even after you stop taking in fluids. Tapering off your fluid intake with this method is a huge mistake because that is what turns on ADH; as less water comes into your body, it responds by trying to hold and store its own water. The result is unwanted water retention. A good rule is that if you are on point conditioning-wise, you shouldn’t need to dehydrate for more than about 20 hours max. You should use foods such as prime rib, fries, cheesecake, nuts, pancakes, and even candy bars along with regular diet foods. If you are plenty dehydrated, after prejudging is over, then a diet soda or two will help fill out the muscles. Just make sure you have them between meals and not WITH your meals, and only have them if you look like you are getting flat. Remember, timing is everything. Now if you are a novice and you are ripped and ready to go but are unsure about the peaking methods, don’t change a thing…if it ain’t broke, don’t try to fix it!. Don’t take a chance (as so many bodybuilders do at the last minute) if you truly don’t know what you are doing. To take months to prepare for a contest and then risk it all by trying methods you have no experience with is just not worth it. Fat loading and carb loading both work and work well, but they are not foolproof. This is where expert advice comes into play. So, to sum it all up, here are the take-home points: • Determine your timeline (err on the side of longer). • Select your diet approach. • Listen to your body and be objective (which is harder than you may think). • Add in cardio only when needed. • Be ready at least 1- 2 weeks prior to the contest. • Don’t use ANY peaking method if you don’t know what you are doing. • Don’t go to extremes. No contest is worth screwing up your body. • Work hard and be consistent! The best advice I can give is to hire a coach to guide you on this journey. It takes all the stress out of the process, and you will also learn things along the way. No two contest preps are ever the same, and prep even shifts from contest to contest as your body changes. A good coach will assess how your body works and will know when to make changes based on your feedback. Good luck and get yourself up on that stage!

Hello ?

Ive had something similiar..shot to lower and leaked into bicep/tricep was red / balloon looking for 5-7 days. Shit happens..

Btboss said he’s still taking orders

An awesome read.......i will be doing GH myself soon.... GH rejuvenation. Growth Hormones anti-aging properties have become increasingly popular amongst women. The most noticeable benefit is the increase in skin elasticity and its ability to reduce body fat without much training. As far as GH rejuvenation is concerned, I have received numerous request for information on how to use it for this purpose and what could be expected from such a cycle so here is some information that I hope will help; Relatively lower dosages are used compared to the muscle building or performance enhancing cycles. Typically 2IUs a day. GH is taken everyday. The best time to take it is at night when the body will naturally release GH and it is therefore in the best metabolic state to utilize it. In most case I have seen results inside the 2 week mark, these include fat loss and a visible reduction in facial lines. The effect can be subtle so even if you look in the mirror everyday, it is likely someone will comment on it before you realize a change. The duration of used varies and in theory you can stay on it indefinitely but I don’t suggest that. My advice is to use 100IUs (about 12 weeks) and then take a 3 week break before using it again. Diet and training can make a massive different to result on GH. Water intake also helps a lot. The reason is that GH reduces or completely blocks muscle breakdown and this means an ever increasing metabolism. (I’m working on a article to explain this and it should be published shortly) GH is injected just below the skin on the stomach using a insulin needle, it is painless in most cases or very close to painless, the needle is thin and you don’t feel it piercing the skin. Most forms of GH have to be mixed manually, this is because it’s only stable in a freeze dried state. There is no such thing as oral GH so don’t be fooled by such claims. The mixing procedure is described in another article under that section on the site. It has to be kept in the fridge at between 4-7 degrees Celsius and you should take care never to freeze it. Finally you have to consider which GH you are going to use. It is heavily faked, especially GH out of China. There are 3 local versions: Humatrope by Lilly, Genetropin by Pharamcia and Norditropin. These are what doctors would generally prescribe but your medical won’t pay for it. These are also expensive. In my opinion there is only one alternative you should look at, both from a value and quality point of view and that is Nomatropin from Nomad Labs. Nomatropin has been independently tested locally so we know exactly what we are getting. Remember that anything you use you do so at your own risk but I must point out the GH is very safe, especially at low dosages described here.

U look good too impressive

you are a beast, and i mean that in the nicest kind of way, so much time and dedication gone into your transformation is mind blowing, congrats!!!!!

So you are using more then me ? I am only using 250mg a week. And it has taken me years to build up to that, also multiple blood tests over the years to see what my personal test levels are. Here nor there. As s a review of the product I really love each one I listed above. In small doses!

Lol I currently am, the most I’ve done is 400mg test pw thinking of upping to 500 soonish

agree with mbmuscle. this sounds more like a sub-q-ish shot. I've done those in the delts and there are times there is a small painless bump for a few days. as mentioned keep an eye on the redness/swelling

BT must be doing something right but ya it sucks. typical jealous and bitter people

ingredients1 scoop of chocolate protein powder7 table spoons of bell plantation PB2 powdered peanut butter ( Wally World has it)1/3 cup water 1/4 cup fat free milkdirections1. Measure PB2 place into bowl2. Add water and blend until creamy set aside3. In separate bowl mix milk and protein powder stir until thin liquid consistency set aside4. Place 5 muffin tins onto plate5. Spoon PB2 mixture into 5 muffin cups to create bottom layer6. Spoon protein and milk mixture over PB2 to create top layer7. Place plate of muffin tins cups in freezer. Let it freeze for about 4 hours8. Allow to thaw for about 3 to 5 minutes9. Peel away and eat while still cold. I found the tin foil muffin cups to work the best, and it helps with the sweet tooth.

I posted a review on another forum that was rather lengthy, so I'll keep this short and sweet. First time using these guys and I have been very happy. They're friendly and communicative, with a nice list of products. I'm currently using their Cialis, Anadrol, and Test E. All are working exactly as they should. I will be ordering more soon for an upcoming blast.

THC works like a charm for sleep....i agree.

People can assume whatever they want. I personally don't care. But as mod, we ensure labs get a fair chance. Because from my experience and I got 9 years of it. 90% of the time it's basically competitors who create accounts and send friends to destroy competition. We use our experience to keep stuff fair or it'll be chaos. Us mods here put in our own time. We are not paid. So we want to make it fun, while being fair. All labs support our rules because they know it's just. Not all members understand because it has nothing to do with them or their business

wow,you look amazing. im sure some peoples jaw will hit the floor. your transformation is surreal. Bt is lucky to have someone like you with a physique like that . @ShowStopper look at what you guys created, Amazeballs

Wow.. you look amazing. I've only ever seen 2 other women in person with a physique similar to yours. Both are GFs or wives of other serious lifters here in my hometown. You're definitely in rarefied air! 200 lbs of muscle at 5'2".... WOW!!!!! VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE. On another note. Depression is what got me into lifting. I was in my late 30's, I had split with my ex-fiancee. For a few years I sat around feeling sorry for myself. Drank too much. Ate like shit. The next thing you know I was so big I couldn't even see my "parts" anymore. Then a buddy of mine encouraged me to go to the gym. It took me a good year or two before the bug really set in and it became a lifestyle. I now have more than surpassed him and am forever grateful for it.

i hear ya man, im a shift worker with a family as well. Tough to get good sleep these days. But something i do find that helps is a good dose of Medicinal CBD/THC about an hour or so before bed. Heck even just a nice THC gummy will help me sleep like a baby. If you haven't tried any medicinal yet id recommend

Yeah I left a year ago Saw the writing on the wall and put lots of little bits and pieces together to form the whole puzzle and wanted nothing to do with it. Moved here shortly there after and got my consulting business up and running. Despite being here I have been keeping myself informed as to the goings on as I have regular contact with some fellas from the forum and guys from the good old days who I know are solid as they come. Hopefully the dogmas of the stormy past are far behind and will not pop up again here on this board. The locals here have a bit of a saying and the translation in English might not make perfect sense but here it is. "When evil lurks around you it has a smile and a useful face" Kind of like " the devil quotes scripture" Anyway hopefully the weather is "cooled off" for you boyz G

Sorry Bro living in South America for like a year now so its Spanish 24/7 I will edit and include English under my post once the pregnasauris is gone to her sisters place LOL. Hang tough for a bit and the Spanglish will appear like magic.
