Sorry to hear about this dude but I feel this is totally up to you man. This is an important health concern that could haunt you for life if you choose not to make the decision. Maybe you don’t need the biopsy and maybe you do. I’d have a chat with your family and get the support to either move forward with your decision or to pass, but if a nephrologist is suggesting this I think I’d get it done. My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer and the doctor suggested a bio even though his psa levels were good and was having no “usual” symptoms he was like fuck it, if the doc says it’s nothing then why do the bio. My mother told him it’d be best to go just to be sure and Lucky he went, as this desicion saved his life.

Interesting read, QUESTION: I see a lot of companies now including different geranium oil extracts in their fat burners. What’s the deal with geranium, and how does it affect fat loss? ANSWER: There are more than 40 constituents of geranium oil, but the one that’s currently found in bodybuilding and sports supplements is usually referred to by its trademarked name Geranium. There are several different names for Geranamine that are currently being used on supplement labels, but they all mean the same thing. Some of the other names are: 1,3-dimethylamylamine dimethylamylamine (DMAA) methylhexaneamine, 4-methyl-2-hexanamine 4-methyl-2-hexylamine 2-amino-4-methylhexane 1,3-dimethylpentylamine Floradrene GERANIUM 20 (pictured above) If you can believe it, this compound was actually first researched and discovered back in the early 1940s! Pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly filed for a patent on methylhexaneamine in 1944 and intended to use it as a nasal decongestant because of its bronchodilating properties. Now fast-forward about 60 years later to the year 2005. This is when a good friend of mine named Patrick Arnold, who is best known for discovering prohormones and being front and center in the BALCO steroid scandal, rediscovered this unique compound after reviewing the old patent. Patrick, who founded the supplement company Ergopharm, is a genius when it comes to rediscovering old drugs that never made it to market and figuring out how they can be classified as dietary supplements under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA). You see, although Geranium is technically not FDA approved, it can still be used in supplements because it’s a component of geranium oil, which is approved for use in foods. This is just one of the many loop holes that Patrick has figured out, and that’s why he was the first to include his trademarked version of Geranium he named "Geranamine" in the original version of his AMP fat burner formula back in 2006. All right, so enough of this history lesson. Now let me explain how Geranamium can enhance fat loss. First off, it affects the central nervous system (CNS) by acting as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor and a norepinephrine-releasing agent. This allows the body to secrete more norepinephrine and epinephrine, which are the body’s most powerful fat-burning hormones. Geranium also has a synergistic effect with caffeine, which can amplify fat burning and to a much greater degree than when either of these stimulants is used on its own. Supplements Containing Geranium Geranium oil derivatives can now be found in several fat burners on the market, including F10 By Advanced Genetics , GERANIUM 20 (which is a straight pharmaceutical-grade geranium supplement), Clear Shot Nutrex’s Lipo-6 Black Hers, S.A.N.’s Tight Extreme, and CRXCUT by Dorian Yates Nutrition. It’s also creeping into preworkout powders, such as Jack3D, BPI’s 1.M.R. and several others. Although there’s somewhat limited research available on Geranium, user feedback over the past couple of years has been very positive, so it’s definitely worth giving it a try to boost in fat burning and mental focus.

Here's what you need to know... Testosterone replacement therapy is as much an art as it is a science.Sadly, many doctors are crappy artists. A "normal" testosterone reading means almost nothing. You need to have total testosterone, free testosterone, and bioavailable testosterone measured to get a reasonably accurate hormonal picture. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) should be given based on symptoms instead of blood values. If you have no energy, gain fat easily, have trouble putting on muscle, have a low libido, and suffer from depression, you may need TRT. You have the choice of injections, gels, creams, pellets, or supplements in treating low T. However, testosterone injections give you the most bang for your buck. TRT causes very few negative side effects. TRT however, is contraindicated in men with existing prostate cancer. It can also cause an easily treatable condition where your blood thickens. Some benefits of TRT happen quickly, while others take years. Libido can improve within weeks, as can depression, but loss of body fat and an increase in muscle takes months to plateau while continuing on at a lesser pace for years. Are Your Balls Doing Their Job? So you just got the results of your blood test and your testosterone charts out at 600 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dl) of blood. You know that "normal" is somewhere between the range of 200 and 1100 ng/dl. So you breathe a sigh of relief and mentally give your balls a slap on their backs for a job well done in kicking out a reading of 600. But what does that number really mean? "Normal" Testosterone Means Zilch Unfortunately, that reading of 600 ng/dl means almost nothing. Testing for testosterone is rife with inconsistencies. Blood values of testosterone vary by the minute and the day. The only way to get a reasonably accurate reading would be to collect urine over a 24-hour period and have the lab use it to measure testosterone and its metabolites. Alternately, you could donate at least three blood samples from different times during the day. The lab would then pool the samples together and test that sample. But nobody does it that way. It's more expensive, more time consuming, and more inconvenient. Besides, the doctor would think you were nuts for even suggesting it because, really, who are you to question him, you hapless mortal, and why are you worried so much about your T levels? You should be content with vague blood readings, average testosterone levels, and at least quasi-functional balls like the rest of the sheep on the planet. And even if you did pool multiple blood samples, it still wouldn't tell you much. For one thing, even though the results might indicate that you have a normal level of testosterone, it might not be normal for YOU. Maybe you would've measured a high octane 1100 when you were in your twenties, but now you're sputtering along at a comparatively low octane 600 and spend your days Facebooking, or it's offline equivalent, scrap booking. The only way you'd know what was normal for you is if you'd established a testosterone baseline reading before you turned 30. But again, nobody does that. The Other Players: SHBG and Estradiol Then there's the issue of steroid hormone binding globulin, or SHBG. It's a glycoprotein that literally binds up the sex hormones, including, on average, about 60% of your testosterone, and that percentage keeps climbing as you grow older. The more SHBG you have, the more of your testosterone is bound up, leaving less of it free to do all the good stuff. So while your testosterone level may be 600, a good portion of it is locked up. It can be maddening. It's like having a genie in a bottle that you can't uncork. That's why, at the very least, when trying to determine your T levels, doctors should ask the lab for your total testosterone levels, your "free" testosterone levels, and your "bioavailable" testosterone levels so you can get a little bit better of an idea of what your situation is. But, you guessed it, nobody does that, at least very few conventionally trained doctors. And we can't forget about estrogen, or more specifically, estradiol levels in men. Your testosterone levels may read normal, but if estradiol levels are high, it could thwart testosterone in its efforts to make you the man you're supposed to be. As you can see, determining normal testosterone levels is a tricky beast. So, regardless of what your lab values are, and given the problematical nature of the lab tests, you have to instead rely on symptoms and the simple desire to be more than you are, hormonally speaking. The Symptoms of Low T Do you have less energy? Have you experienced an inexplicable increase in body fat and have trouble losing it? How about a loss of muscle tone and an inability to make progress in your workouts? Does your erection sometimes falter and wane? Do you think more about your lawn than lady parts? How about premature aging? Difficulty in concentration or memory? Depression? Or maybe a lack of "appropriate aggressiveness" where you don't take the initiative in matters of business or the heart? Maybe you're nervous, or always pissed off, ready to tear the head off the pudknocker in line in front of you who bought the last damn cinnamon roll? Any of these things could be indicative of low T, including, seemingly paradoxically, that last item on the list about undue anger levels. Historically, low testosterone, or hypogonadism, has largely been a problem of middle age and beyond. A 2006 study reported that 39% of men over 45 suffer from it. Another study said that while 13 million men in the U.S. may be deficient in testosterone, fewer than 10% get treatment for it. That's quite a chunk of human change, but consider that these statistics reflect only those men that were clinically deficient, i.e., their lab tests indicated they were low. It leaves out the millions – many who are young or relatively young – whose lab tests say they may be fine but based on their symptoms, are probably deficient. It also ignores the younger men who don't typically get their T levels tested. Millions of them are likely deficient, too. Not because of old age, but because of environmental estrogens, pituitary and testicle stifling chemicals in general, and probably even a soft, cushy, modern, convenience-filled low-testosterone lifestyle. In fact, it's speculated that the testosterone levels of today's average man are roughly half of what his grandfather's were, at a comparative point in life. Get the Right Lab Work Done Your first task is to find a progressive doctor, or at least one who isn't threatened by a patient who knows what he wants. Luckily, there are now plenty of low-testosterone treatment centers around the country. Unfortunately, many of them are in it for quick dough and they aren't likely to be as informed on the topic as you'd like them to be. All the more reason for you to take charge. Once you find the right doc, describe your symptoms, confess your desire to get testosterone replacement therapy, and ask for lab work. But make sure you get tests done in exactly the way specified below. (For instance, if you don't ask for a "sensitive assay" estradiol test for males, they're going to measure your estradiol the same as if you were a ballerina from the Bolshoi ballet suffering from menstruation problems.) Ask for this lab work: Testosterone, total Testosterone, bioavailable Testosterone, free Estradiol (sensitive assay) Steroid Hormone Binding Globulin Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) Complete Blood Count (CBC) Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Blood Chemistry Panel Metabolic Panel These tests will give a fairly good baseline reading of where you stand so that when you have follow-up blood testing done three to six months later, you can see if you're on the right dosage and whether you're suffering any insidious negative side effects. What Are Your Choices For T Replacement? If you test out as deficient in testosterone, or if you have symptoms of low testosterone, you likely want to do something about it. There are definitely over-the-counter supplements designed for this very purpose. (Alpha Male® and Tribex® are the most potent.) And while effective, they're best used by healthy younger men who want a boost in T levels for bodybuilding purposes. They probably aren't the best choice for men who are clinically low and who've made the choice to undergo what's usually a lifetime commitment to testosterone replacement therapy, or TRT. 1. Testosterone Injections Testosterone injections are the creme de la creme of TRT. While it's true that testosterone gels (see below) create a more natural ebb and flow of testosterone, injections, provided they're administered properly, give you the most muscle-building, libido boosting, rock-your-world bang for the buck. You essentially have two injectable choices in America, testosterone enanthate and testosterone cypionate. The half lives of these esters differ slightly, but it's not that big a deal, especially if your dosing is adequate and you've chosen a suitable injection method and schedule. For most men, 100 mg. a week of either ester is enough for effective TRT. However, some men need less and some men need more, possibly up to 200 mg. a week. Beyond that amount and you're pretty much on a mild bodybuilding steroid cycle instead of testosterone replacement. Even if you're injecting weekly (always on the same day), you still might suffer a bit of a low-testosterone lull as you get further away from injection day. To remedy this, many men split their dosage in half and inject twice a week instead of once a week. Doing so keeps your blood levels of testosterone fairly stable. And while many men micromanage their hardest workouts to coincide with the peaks and troughs of their TRT, it's largely an unnecessary battle, especially when you're giving yourself two injections a week. Injections given that close together ensure that you're pretty much always riding a peak. Additionally, you might want to consider subcutaneous injections rather than intramuscular injections. Dr. John Crisler, noted testosterone guru, insists that sub-q is much more effective, so much so that 80 mg. of testosterone injected under the skin is equal to 100 mg. injected intramuscularly. Plus, he adds, you don't poke your muscle bellies full of thousands of holes over the course of a lifetime of TRT. All you do is take a pinch of skin on your glute, thigh, or even belly, and inject a tiny needle into the fold at either a 45-degree or 90-degree angle. Fully depress the plunger, release the skin, and you're good to go. Whether Crisler is right about the potency of sub-q injections isn't known for sure, but it has the ring of truth and it's worth a try. 2. Testosterone Gels As mentioned above, testosterone gels provide a much more natural androgen rhythm and there's probably some argument to be made that mimicking the body's natural rhythms is the way to go. However, many believe it doesn't have the same bang for the testosterone buck as injectable esters. Besides, gels have their drawbacks. You should only apply gels to freshly showered skin. You should refrain from swimming or working up a sweat for at least an hour. Furthermore, you can't, under any circumstances, let a child or female (especially a pregnant one) come into contact with the treated area until it's absolutely dry. If you do decide to use gels, you must apply them once (or in some cases, twice) a day. Don't use your hands to apply the gel, though. Any gel on the hands doesn't soak in to the bloodstream. It's like applying gel onto an old catcher's mitt, which isn't very permeable. Instead, squeeze the gel onto your forearms and rub them together. That way you won't waste any. 3. Everything Else Just about everything else, including creams, pellets, and sublingual drops, isn't much worth discussing. Granted, creams can be effective, but they're messy and they don't penetrate the skin as well as gels. Pellets and drops, however, are either ineffective or impractical and make accurate dosing all but impossible. There are, however, other protocols that have proven to be effective in treating secondary hypogonadism (where the hypothalamus, for whatever reason, isn't telling the pituitary to produce LH and FSH, which in turn cause the testicles to produce T), like selective estrogen receptor modulators, or SERMs. Two of the most commonly known ones are Clomid (clomiphene) and Nolvadex (tamoxifen). They simply trick the pituitary into producing LH, which then tells the testicles to get to work. Exact protocols are beyond the scope of this article, though. TRT, Your Testicles, and HCG One of the big fears about undertaking TRT is infertility and shrinking balls. While TRT does reduce the number of sperm that a man produces, it'd be foolish to think that your replacement dosage has rendered you safe from becoming a daddy. In many cases, though, the testicles will shrink and sperm count will drop, but these effects are easily prevented by concurrently administering human chorionic gonadotropin, or HCG. The drug mimics LH so that your testicles don't shut down. They'll still produce sperm and they'll still produce testosterone, so shrinkage won't occur. Additionally, there are LH receptors throughout the body, and HCG attaches to these system-wide receptors. Anecdotally, at least, this causes men on TRT and HCG therapy to report feeling pretty damn good. HCG is administered subcutaneously via an insulin needle and it's easily available to your doctor through various compounding pharmacies around the country. The generally recommended starting dose is about 100 iu a day, working up to higher daily doses or, alternately, 250 or 500 administered twice a week. The Potential Negative Side Effects of TRT There are a small number of bad things that can happen when on TRT. One is only an issue if you have prostate cancer before starting TRT therapy. Note that there's absolutely no evidence – even after researchers have compiled thousands of studies and patient histories – that TRT can cause prostate cancer. However, for some reasons that we don't totally understand yet, TRT can make prostate cancer worse. That's why it's important to have digital rectal exams (DREs) every year while continuing to monitor prostate specific antigens (PSA). TRT can also cause a condition called polycythemia, which simply means that the testosterone therapy has caused your body to produce too many red blood cells. Instead of freely flowing through your veins, your blood gets thick and spurts along like the stuff that comes out of the Dairy Queen soft serve machine and it can understandably cause heart attacks and strokes when it clogs up your plumbing. That's why it's important to monitor both hemoglobin and hematocrit. If hemoglobin exceeds 18.0, or hematocrit exceeds approximately 50.0, you either need to adjust your dosage of testosterone, donate some blood to the Red Cross, or submit yourself for what's called therapeutic phlebotomy (a simple blood draw in a doctor's office). What About Gyno and Heart Attacks? The much-dreaded gynecomastia is almost unheard of in males receiving TRT. Gynecomastia, or the growth of male breast tissue, is seen almost exclusively in men taking pro-bodybuilder levels of testosterone (1,000 to 3,000 mg. a week) or testosterone analogs. Hair loss is a possibility, but it seems to stabilize in your 30's. If you've made it that far without losing your hair, it's highly doubtful that TRT will make things any worse. All of the rest of the stuff you may have heard about testosterone causing heart attacks or anything else bad is horribly, horribly wrong. If anything, men with low testosterone levels are much more prone to a host of maladies, including heart disease, diabetes, dementia, and pretty much everything else usually associated with old age, death, or decrepitude in males. What to Expect from Testosterone Replacement Therapy Testosterone does cool stuff to the body, but it usually doesn't happen overnight. While you might start feeling pretty good, almost elated, after starting therapy, the various physiological benefits take varying amounts of time. Sexual benefits. These kick in fully at about week 3 and plateau between weeks 19 and 21. Depression. If it's a factor, depression often starts to lift by about week 6, but maximum benefits take longer. Anxiety, sociability, and stimulation of the cerebral cortex (the part that controls attention and even creativity). These start to improve at about week 3, plateauing about 3 months after beginning therapy. Insulin sensitivity. Starts to increase in just a few days, with effects becoming evident (less body fat) in 3 to 12 months, but often continuing for years. Increased muscularity. This is highly dependent not only on having adequate testosterone levels, but genetics, diet, lifestyle, and training. However, generally speaking, testosterone therapy can positively affect muscularity in as little as a month, peak at about a year, and then continue at a slower pace for some time. The good life. And then there's the intangible benefit known as life enjoyment. It's what you often get when you combine all of testosterone's benefits, the physiological and the psychological, into one. It can't really be measured, but it's oh-so valuable. Just make sure you find a doctor that understands that.

OKay so we have made some changes and have moved Eazy and Muscle beauty up into the roles of Super MODS. I would like to congratulate them on the move up and it was well earned deserved and an easy decision. I am hunting for 2 more mods which we will add as we go along. Im looking at a few people now and when time they too will get the NOD. GOD DAMN I AM GLAD TO BE BACK

Looking for some advice here, I'm not sure what to do. Last Febuary I developed pitting adema in my ankles and calfs after doing a blast with way too much test and tren. My blood pressure was something insane like 179/110 and I was refered to a nephrologist. I immediately dropped the tren and worked my way to a cruise dose of test at 125mg per week. The nephrologist put me on blood pressure medication and the pitting adema went away. I was getting blood work and urine samples every 3 months all year and my kidney function improved greatly over the year. When I saw my nephrologist on January 24th he said there was nothing to worry as my kidney function had drastically improved but my blood pressure was still high at 140/90. He suggested I do a kidney biopsy to eliminate my kidneys being the cause of my high blood pressure. He went on to say if I had a kidney disease my kidney function wouldn't have improved like it did and he made it seem like the biopsy will most likely show nothing but he still wants to do it so I'm looking for advice on weather or not I should do it. It seems unnecessary but I don't know why my blood pressure would be high. I don't drink, smoke or do recreational drugs and I'm only running low test. And I'm 32.

Clenbuterol Hydrochloride is a powerful bronchodilator that is used to treat breathing disorders like asthma. While it’s been extremely successful in such treatment plans it has never been approved by the U.S. FDA. It is, however, approved and used in most other countries around the world. Some speculate the only reason Clenbuterol has never been approved by the U.S. FDA is due to there being no need. There are several other related medications, very closely related that are already approved for U.S. use. Beyond treating breathing disorders, Clenbuterol is commonly used as a thermogenic. In fact, you will more than likely find more Clenbuterol use in fat loss plans than anywhere else. It is a very common fat burning tool used by many anabolic steroid users. It is a long standing favorite among competitive bodybuilders and other physique athletes during contest preparation. However, it is also used by non-steroid users for its fat loss properties. You do not have to use anabolic steroids to use this compound for fat loss. We only mention that because this has for some reason become a confusing point for some. *Clenbuterol Functions & Traits: Clenbuterol Hydrochloride is a sympathomimetic that works on the sympathomimetic nervous system. There are several receptors in the body a sympathomimetic can act on. In the case of Clenbuterol, the beta-2 receptor is the area of interest and action. Clen, as it’s commonly known, actively stimulates the beta-2 receptor. Through such stimulation, this actively reverses airway obstructions and provides improved breathing for those who need it. This same stimulation can also be used to enhance the metabolic rate of the individual. Clenbuterol does not actively burn fat by attacking fat cells, but rather stimulates the metabolism by increasing the body’s temperature. This occurs due to the beta-2 stimulation stimulating the mitochondria of the cells to produce and release more heat. In turn, this heats up the body’s temperature (slightly), enhances the metabolism and causes the individual to burn body fat at a greater rate. In reality, the functions and traits of Clenbuterol are very simple and very straightforward. Clenbuterol has also been noted for having a strong anabolic effect; however, things are not quite like they appear. Due to the potential anabolic effect, this has caused many to use the compound in hopes of gaining lean tissue. Commonly, many steroid users have used it as an anabolic protective agent during their post cycle therapy (PCT). There is, however, a problem with this type of use; it doesn’t work. Studies have shown that Clenbuterol has the ability to promote anabolic activity in animals. There have been several studies that have shown the anabolic activity of rats to increase when Clen is administered. However, there is no data that supports such anabolic activity provided when used by human beings. In fact, it has generally been proven useless in this regard as it pertains to human beings. When it comes to human Clenbuterol use, use as a bronchodilator and thermogenic are the only suitable purposes. *Effects of Clenbuterol: The effects of Clenbuterol on the asthmatic patient are as straightforward as can be. Use of the bronchodilator opens up the airways and enables the individual to breath. There are other breathing disorders that can benefit from Clenbuterol use, but asthma appears to be primary, and it is often a welcomed medication to those who suffer. This same improved breathing could also prove useful to some athletes, especially those who can benefit from enhanced cardiovascular endurance. However, we’re not talking about a strong, notable improvement and there are truly other methods that are far more suited for increasing cardiovascular endurance. As a thermogenic, the effects of Clenbuterol are again very simple. As the body temperature increases, which again is due to the beta-2 stimulation, the individual is now able to burn calories at an enhanced rate. Body temperature goes up, the metabolism is enhanced, fat cells are stimulated due to the increase in temperature due to the now enhanced metabolism, the breakdown of triglycerides is now enhanced and fat loss occurs. It’s hard to get any simpler than that. While Clenbuterol is a powerful fat loss agent, it is not magical and will not make a fat physique lean on its own. You still have to diet in order to lose body fat, and if you don’t, no fat loss will occur. In fact, even if you’re using Clenbuterol you will still find you need to diet just as hard as you would without it if you are going to lose body fat. This raises an important question; why use Clen? The idea behind Clenbuterol use as a thermogenic in simple terms it to take what you’re already doing right and to simply do it a little better. It’s not going to melt fat off your frame, but it can rev up the metabolism and help you burn fat at a more effective and efficient rate. If you are obese or at least significantly overweight, your best bet is to forgo Clenbuterol use until you are at least a little leaner. The best time to use Clen is once you’re already fairly lean in an effort to help you rid that last little body fat that often hangs on for dear life. When we dive into the side effects of Clenbuterol, we will find Clen can and should only be used for a set period of time, and it only makes sense to use it when it will be the most beneficial. Due to Clenbuterol being best served for final touches in a fat loss plan, this is why you’ll see it in many physique based plans such as bodybuilding, figure, fitness or other related endeavors. It’s commonly used the last 8-10 weeks leading up to a competition, sometimes a little longer, but regardless of the specific time frame the individual is normally already fairly lean. For the average gym rat, one who doesn’t compete but is looking to lean out, we can make some slight exceptions. We’re not saying you have to be contest ready lean in order for their to be a benefit. If you’re already in fairly good shape and looking to lean out a little more, absolutely, Clenbuterol can prove useful. But if you truly have a lot of body fat to lose, you’ll be best served by waiting until your body fat is a little more under control. *Side Effects of Clenbuterol: There are several possible side effects to Clenbuterol use, and the primary will surround its stimulating nature. No surprise, after all, Clen is a stimulant. The side effects of Clenbuterol can be very strong and often very annoying to say the least, and they will generally affect most people in one way or another. The most common side effects surround a jittery or wired feeling, shaky hands and increased sweating. Most all who use Clen will experience such effects to a degree, but they will commonly be very pronounced during the early stages of use. As the individual becomes accustomed to the stimulant, such related effects should begin to subside, but they will be so strong in some people that some will not be able to use it. When using Clenbuterol, many often inaccurately assume that when the stimulating effects of Clen began to fade that the thermogenic effects are no longer working. Most will find that the stimulating effects will greatly subside after a week or so of use, but assuming the fat burning properties have vanished due to this lessened stimulation is highly inaccurate. The same dose of Clenbuterol Hydrochloride can actually keep the metabolism revved for as much as five weeks. Granted, by the fifth week mark it will be minimal as the body does most certainly adapt. Due to the body’s ability to adapt, necessarily adjustments must be made to use. We will go over adjustments, dosing plans and total plans of use in the Clenbuterol in the administration section. The aforementioned side effects of Clenbuterol are the most common, but there are other possible effects of note. As with many stimulating substances, some will experience headaches as well as possible nausea. One of the more bothersome possible side effects of Clenbuterol Hydrochloride will be muscle cramps. Cramps are not exceedingly common, but they will affect many people. Athletes are often at the greatest risk due to the hard and often intense training they are already undertaking. Staying well hydrated is often enough to avoid or remedy this problem, but supplementing with taurine can also help. Clen has been shown to deplete taurine, so supplementation may be necessary for some. Some may also have issues with insomnia; in fact, some may find sleep becomes extremely difficult. Again, this is very common with many stimulating substances, but with Clen it can, for some, be impossible to avoid. Clen has an active half-life that stretches to the 34 hour mark, and that can make sleep impossible for some people. Many will, however, find if they take their Clen first thing in the morning they will not have any issues with sleep, but due to the long half-life some will find insomnia occurs regardless of when they take it. The use of Clenbuterol Hydrochloride also carries with it possible side effects that can be severe; in fact, dangerous would be a more accurate description. Such effects are most commonly associated with abuse through high doses and far beyond recommended extended periods of use. The severe side effects of Clenbuterol include high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, trembling and even panic. Some studies have also shown that Clenbuterol abuse can also lead to cardiac hypertrophy, which could potentially lead to death. It is very possible to use this compound without such effects, but as with so many things in life it will require responsible use and a thorough understanding of Clen. *Clenbuterol Administration: In a therapeutic setting, Clenbuterol doses will most commonly be 20mcg per day, with some requiring 40mcg per day. It is possible for some to need even more, but it is rare and generally only for a short period of time. This should, in most all cases, be enough Clen to correct related breathing issues, if not, alternative treatments may be needed. In a performance setting as a thermogenic, Clenbuterol doses will start low and generally increase overtime due to a down regulation of the beta-receptor. Most men will find starting at 40mcg per day to be perfect. Many women may also be fine with this starting dose, but many will be far more comfortable with a starting dose of 20mcg per day. As the body adapts, the dose will need to increase in order to maintain the full fat loss benefits. There are several schools of thought on the best way to use Clen in a fat burning setting, but there are only three that really make any sense. All three will work very well, but you may need to try all three at separate times to find which one works best for you. · Two Week Rotation: One of the most common methods of Clenbuterol use for fat loss purposes is two weeks on followed by two weeks off. This type of use will normally continue until the end goal is reached. The individual will start with the initial dose and increase it by 20mcg every few days until he has reached the maximum desired or needed dose. The individual will then hold at this dose the final days of the two week period and then discontinue all Clenbuterol use for two weeks. At the end of the two weeks with no Clen, the individual will begin the process again. The two week rotation schedule is very effective, but there is also a problem. During the off periods you have no Clen in your system, and as a result, a two week period with a decreased metabolic rate. This does not mean you won’t be burning fat during the off week periods, as long as you’re dieting you should still lose fat, but you are giving up the enhancement. · Continuous Use: Due to the body’s ability to adapt to Clenbuterol, continuous use is very hard for some to get their head around. When we consider that the stimulating effects of a noticeable nature began to wane first, the idea of continuous use for some doesn’t make any sense, but we assure you this method of use can work very well. Remember, the same dose of Clen can keep the metabolism revved for up to 5 weeks. With this type of use, the individual will begin with the starting dose of 20-40mcg per day and hold at that dose for 2-3 weeks. At the end of the 2-3 week period, the individual will increase the dose by 20mcg and hold at that dose for another 2-3 weeks. From here, the individual will increase the dose 20mcg every 2-3 weeks as needed until the diet or total Clen use comes to an end. This type of use will keep your metabolism revved the entire time. It may not experience as great of an increase as would with a massive or very frequent increasing in dose schedule, but it will be a steady and continuous enhancement. There will be no period in the diet during Clenbuterol use that the individual doesn’t enjoy the metabolic enhancement. · In Between: The final preferred method of Clenbuterol use falls in-between our other two discussed methods. This type of use will last for 4-6 weeks and can be an excellent way to use it for the individual who is only using it the last few weeks leading up to competition. The individual will start with 40mcg per day and increase periodically until he reaches the maximum desired or needed dose and will hold at the maximum dose the final 7-14 days of the plan. The increases in dosing will not be as dramatic as the two week rotation schedule but stronger than the continuous plan. At this stage, if more Clen is still needed, the individual will need to wait 4-6 weeks before beginning a new phase. This makes this type of use best for those who only need a short period of metabolic enhancement. Regardless of the type of schedule you use, the maximum Clenbuterol dose will normally be 120mcg per day. Some may find 140mcg per day to be acceptable, especially some men, but no one should for any reason surpass the 140mcg per day mark if they are going to avoid cardiac damage. Regardless of the total dosing or plan of use you use, Clenbuterol use should be kept at no more than 16 weeks of total use. 16 weeks of total use per year should be your guide. For the individual competing in more than one show per year at different stages of the year, we can make exceptions. However, this individual should try to keep the total use as close to a 16 week total every 12 months as possible for safety reasons. *Availability of Clenbuterol: Clenbuterol Hydrochloride is widely available, very affordable and extremely easy to find. However, there is no Clen manufactured in the U.S. and any one purporting to sell you U.S. brand Clenbuterol is lying to your face. There is no such product. As for international brands, they are in high supply and very easy to obtain. Most all anabolic steroid suppliers carry Clenbuterol, and it is rarely counterfeited. You will also find Clen is readily available from many suppliers of various medications outside the anabolic steroid market. The black market supply of true pharmacy grade Clenbuterol Hydrochloride is extremely high, especially online. Another option for a Clenbuterol purchase is through a research chemical lab (RCL). RCL’s have in recent years popped up all over the online market and are legally allowed to sell items like Clen and other non-scheduled items to U.S. customers so as long as it’s for research purposes only. Due to the necessary research label, it will not come in its original tablet form but rather as a liquid that the individual can simply drink. However, while this is a loophole in the law, if the individual isn’t making the purchase for research reasons he is technically breaking the law. If law enforcement wanted to make an issue out of this they very easily could, and it would be on you to prove the research claim. However, it is a loophole that while it may not always exist is taken advantage of by many people. *Buy Clenbuterol Online – Warning: You can buy Clenbuterol online affordably and very easily. In fact, this will be the only way many will be able to purchase the substance. While it is not a controlled substance in the U.S. those who live in the U.S. and buy Clenbuterol online are breaking the law. The exception would be making a purchase from an RCL for research purposes only. Again, an RCL purchase is very common, but it does come with potential problems. Under dosing can be an issue, but the most common issue is an unstable product. Some RCL’s do not do a very good job with their manufacturing, and while this rarely presents any danger it will lead to the product becoming useless rather fast. Some RCL’s also manufacture their products in a high concentrated way, and this can make it very hard to dose. You can find RCL Clen that comes dosed as strong as 200mcg/ml, we’ve even in the past seen it at 300mcg/ml and this can be a difficult product to dose. However, there are some fantastic RCL’s out there who make great products that are far easier to dose, but they are heavily outnumbered by RCL’s you should avoid. Researching any RCL heavily before making a purchase is beyond important. Due to possible legal ramifications that could exist when you buy Clenbuterol online, as well as the possible inferiority of some products, if you are looking for high quality and powerful thermogenics you are encouraged to visit the sponsors here at Steroid.com. The sponsors here at Steroid.com can provide you with high quality thermogenics without the need for a prescription or any legal risk. *Clenbuterol Reviews: Clenbuterol Hydrochloride is an excellent thermogenic, but again it is not a magical fat loss substance. If you use it, you will still need to burn more calories than you take in if you are going to lose body fat. Granted, Clen will help you burn calories at a higher rate, and in reality this could mean your caloric deficit wouldn’t need to be as great as it would without Clen. However, if you’re truly going to get a solid benefit out of it you should diet just as you without Clen and view the Clenbuterol as an added bonus. Get the most you can out of it; after all, you cannot use it non-stop, and as it can be a little annoying due to the stimulating effects you might as well maximize your use to make it worthwhile. Most importantly, while it can help you lose body fat at an accelerated rate, especially that last little bit of stubborn body fat, responsible use remains imperative. This is not the most dangerous substance on earth by any means, but abuse can get you into trouble. Severe abuse can even lead to death and that’s not worth any amount of fat loss. Use responsibly, listen to your body and diet hard,and you will ensure your Clenbuterol Hydrochloride use is worthwhile.

With a family member in the hospital waiting on kidney transplant... my suggestion is do the test brother, better to know then not know. Ignorance isn’t bliss. This could change your life forever and trust me when I say that watching someone in the hospital on dialysis 4-5 times a week isn’t easy on family or the person suffering through it. mine is another vote for getting the bio done

Probably best asked in the aas section you may get better responses, as this is a review section. there’s also a lot of info on dnp there.

I'm not sure if it's wise to run DNP during PCT. I personally don't have experience with it but I've read it can cause muscle loss that's why people run it while on cycle. Maybe someone more experienced can chime in and give you better answer!

I loved madol! My strength went through the roof on the stuff. Bt threw it in one of my orders as a gift and damn, I'll be getting some more in the near future with out a doubt.

I couldn't get in a week or so ago and the shoutbox takes a while to load, not sure it's related.

I was having ED issues at 200mg trt with 1mg adex/wk. No difference at 150mg either. Now at 100mg, no AI, and all is good. Haven't had bloods yet at this dose but I have zero E2 related issues. Oddly I had no ED issues when i blasted 500mg/wk.

So i had to stop taking it only a few days in due to lack up sleep. Even at 25mg I wasn't sleeping. Any suggestions on how to sleep with this stuff? I was taking it first thing in the morning. Maybe I need to ramp up reeeaaaally slowly in order to acclimate to the wiredness. Maybe 12.5mg for a week, then 25mg, etc

Thanks for the warm welcome gents!

New to forum (today in fact) and agree, cost can be a bit much. But, will offer this... After having suffered various injuries and resultant pain for nearly 35 years (started lifting at 18), my setbacks have been numerous and long-lasting. My own protocol is listed in my bio and I'm spending the money to give my body all the "repair juice" I can afford. 8mg of TB/week, 250mcg BPC/day, 2iu GH/day, Epithalon nasal spray/2x day, GH releasers/2x week, IGF-1/2x week, and T-boosters/3x week. Loading and maintenance doses. Cheap? No. Worth it to do what numerous doctors, procedures, therapies, shots, and pills have yet to fix? I think so. My best to you.

I am getting there for sure I am going to slowly bulk now

I was recently taking evoke which contains caffeine, Albuterol, and geranium (dmaa). I was taking it as a pre workout mon/wed/fri. It was causing me to only be able able to sleep 3-4 hours a night. Apparently DMAA can build up in your system even though the reported half life is relatively short. Just something to watch out for if you're taking this

Macros

Well boys I have been living on the road for the last few weeks as I am now a Toronto boy. I'm kicking ass in the gym and figured I would post up a pic. I am getting lean as hell and really filling out nicely

I can’t wait for the dhb !!

Sorry, have not been able to log in. The new test base does have crystals in it, but can nuke and shake it. I think I was expecting more of a pump from the igf, but have put a half inch on my arms since starting it. It definitely prolongs the pump attained. Not saying im not getting that full feeling, but I’m happy with the results so far

Test Suspension ready to ship for Feb 1st DHB Cyp 100 in testing phases (be prepared to have your socks blown off with this minimal PIP game changer)

@j00ce thats cool man ill look into test base, isnt that what alot of baseball players were taking?

I added it to a cycle last fall and loved it. I was a walking raging hard on 24/7. I took it with stanolone. Not bad for a 50 yr old fucker,

If you want a preworkout boost then you should look into test base. Madol was decent at 30mg for me. I think dbol works better at 50-60mg and ofcourse test base. I only used base before my heavy workouts but don't expect to turn into hulk as it will only help keep your endurance up which can lead to get more volume in.

Wow thats crazy man, i recently fell in love with a50s but i wanna test madol and halo too. See which is the best preworkout

Love it 20 mg is my sweet spot ! It’s actually working very well with my TRT which is on the high end I feel great. I should add the nice folks at Kratos pharmaceutical sent me a sacket to try works very very well, you will never want to lift without it.

These guys are great from amazing communication to shopping! Packaging was nice no noise no damage! Sust 250 ZERO pip and I mean none it’s great running it with their superdrol and man the strength gains are amazing!! superdrol has given me a bit of heartburn but as of yet no loss of appetite or back/shin pumps! (Knock on wood) thank you again @GenetecResearch for great service and helping out a member in need really appreciated!

Please keep us updated if you get your hands on new test base. Apparently there are no crystals this time around.

Sex drive was normal for me when I ran it.

Welcome home

Ok have been pinning Genetec Research for my recent TRT and have been using their sustanon 250 into the quad, I have to say I warm the vial and it pins through a 25g and it’s absolutely painless not even the usual sting of the short esters, A1 guys there great service fast response . Thanks Genetec !

Okay so things are going amazing I was planning on doing up a a big log today but got sidetracked. I will be taking pics tomorrow as I am leaving for the city for a few weeks. and yes I will have a laptop with me as I know how much you guys missed me the last time I took a vacation. I am solely on test T3 and stanolone with some HGH. small does high just 1,5 IU as I don't need a lot for what I'm doing, the veins are starting too come out in the biceps and 100% visible in the calves and legs which are really cut up now. the mid section is really pissing me off as I feel flat and abs look great some says and some days not so good. I am hoping to lean out another few % more BF and cannot wait to get back on the Tren or NPP I am feeling every ache and pain right now especially in the tendons mostly ankle and biceps. Nothing is torn just aches and pains from too many years in the army lol

GENETEC Research JANOSHIK test results Dec 21 We sent in 10 samples all blind for Janoshiks' analysis. He nailed all of them and we scored very well on all. Very happy to see our exotics: MENT and Halo also 98%. Our Tren Ace scored at 96% which means there is slight impurity left over which is filtered out but we still want this at 98% so we are working with supply chain to remedy this 2% variance. Anavar 98% Masteron Propionate 98% Masteron Enanthate 98% Primoboloan Enanthate 98% Halotestin 98% Trestolone Acetate (MENT) 98% Trenbolone Acetate 96% Trenbolone Enanthate 98% Winstrol 98% Deca 98%

Proviron is great but I will not run it all year around I do on cycle only it make my face extremely oily and I am horny like mountain goat ?

I can do 700 prop and 50 dbol/day, maybe once every 1-2months need .25 adex to kill sore nips.

I've been on around 1000mg of test forever now. I absolutely do not respond to test, so i have to jack the doses just to cruise... it sucks. I dont even bother blasting it anymore. I literally get low T symptoms (like, all of them) at anything less than 800/week. That said, i would have thought i'd need to keep some AI in there to keep shit balanced. I've had sexual issues for some time now (very similar to the OP's), but i've also been blasting and cruising for a solid 5-6 years now. I'd run out of arimadex a couple months ago, and so i was running without all this time since. It FEELS like the estro is creeping up. I get 'the feels' a lot now... and thats always been my marker. BUT... i just had a full panel bloodwork done, with all my gear running perfectly stabilized for once (ie: no changes for at least 3 months, 1000 test, 800 EQ, 60 var/day) and i was shocked to see my estro was normal. If anything just slightly on the lower side of normal. What the hell? So much for needing AIs.

NO ONE IS TO CONDUCT ANY DEALINGS WITH SPONSORS VIA PM. if you are caught doing it will result in us swinging the BAN HAMMER. I understand every one out there operates differently we do not like the use of pms here is an example. Hey (LAB) I love to eat dbol for breakfast do you have good DBOL? and if so can I have a list (NO THIS WILL GET YOU BANNED) Hey lab I am wondering if I can get an email in regards to your lists. I have been around awhile and am new to this board but have been an avid poster on (BOARD). and was brought here by member (X) thank you for your time and consideration its greatly appreciated. (this will not get you banned)

With 500mg/wk of Test or higher, I need 25mg Aromasin ED to keep flare ups at bay! ?

Interesting! 100mg test plus 25mg proviron. Have you guys had blood work with this? Any negative issues from the proviron? I bet the libido is great

Thanks everyone! Here's the building a good new board full of information and experience for the novice to the pro. Fairness in common sense above all.

Congrats to @eazy57 and @musclebeauty . They are both a wealth of knowledge and constantly contribute to the board. Couldn't have two better mods imo.

would you rather go for surgery?which may or may not work?and with a huge downtime?id give this protocol a chance if that was my option available prior to surgery

clen + t3 =

So anyone here growing stripper tits on a buck fifty a week of trt test? Inquiring minds want to know.

I have a close friend who was also a member on the other forum who also has no estro issues on a gram of test a week his estro numbers would be in the 90's on the scale of 90-300 as we both used the same lab. Some guys have that genetic component and some are like me who can be way high and not have issues symptomatically and then there are the guys that are super sensitive to a tiny bit of estro. This whole thing is a never ending learning experience/ self experiment. I think for some mast can block estro issues in breast tissue as it was designed as a breat cancer drug for women originally. The information on effect on men is poorly studied and minimal information exists and the medical studies and info for women does not cross over or corelate to men but I can see there being a bit of cross over fighting breast tumors in women and gyno in men as both are estrogen related and estrogen dependant for the most part. Hopefully we get some input from low dose high aromatizers here as well. G
