Oxandrolone 17beta-Hydroxy-17-methyl-2-oxa-5alpha-androstan-3-one Molecular Formula C19H30O3 Molecular Weight 306.44 CAS Registry Number 53-39-4 EINECS 200-172-9 Melting point 235-238 ºC Although Anavar doesn’t give users tremendous gains in muscle mass, it is an ideal steroid for burning fat and giving the body a more cut look. Additionally, the muscle mass gained and fat burned tend to be more permanent than with the steroids associated with large muscle mass gains. Anavar also causes more mild side effects limited effect on the liver and comparatively limited effect on the bodys natural sex hormones. Anavar is readily available in foreign countries and on the black market, although it is fairly expensive. Anavar was the old U.S. brand name for the oral steroid oxandrolone, first produced in 1964 by the drug manufacturer Searle. It was designed as an extremely mild anabolic, one that could even be safely used as a growth stimulant in children. One immediately thinks of the standard worry, “steroids will stunt growth”. But it is actually the excess estrogen produced by most steroids that is the culprit, just as it is the reason why women stop growing sooner and have a shorter average stature than men. Oxandrolone will not aromatize, and therefore the anabolic effect of the compound can actually promote linear growth. Women usually tolerate this drug well at low doses, and at one time it was prescribed for the treatment of osteoporosis. As the opinions surrounding steroids began to change in the 1980′s, prescriptions for oxandrolone began to drop. Lagging sales probably led Searle to discontinue manufacture in 1989, and it had vanished from U.S. pharmacies until recently. Oxandrolone tablets are again available inside the U.S. by BTG, bearing the new brand name Oxandrin. BTG purchased rights to the drug from Searle and it is now manufactured for the new purpose of treating HIV/AIDS related wasting syndrome. Anavar is a mild anabolic with low androgenic activity. Its reduced androgenic activity is due to the fact that it is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Although one might think that this would make it a more androgenic steroid, it in fact creates a steroid that is less androgenic because it is already “5-alpha reduced”. In other words, it lacks the capacity to interact with the 5-alpha reductase enzyme and convert to a more potent “dihydro° form. It is a simple matter of where a steroid is capable of being potentiated in the body, and with oxandrolone we do not have the same potential as testosterone, which is several times more active in androgen responsive tissues compared to muscle tissue due to its conversion to DHT. It essence oxandrolone has a balanced level of potency in both muscle and androgenic target tissues such as the scalp, skin and prostate. This is a similar situation as is noted with Primobolan and Winstrol, which are also derived from dihydrotestosterone yet not known to be very androgenic substances. This steroid works well for the promotion of strength and duality muscle mass gains, although it’s mild nature makes it less than ideal for bulking purposes. Among bodybuilders it is most commonly used during cutting phases of training when water retention is a concern. The standard dosage for men is in the range of 20-50mg per day, a level that should produce noticeable results. It can be further combined with anabolics like Primobolan and Winstrol to elicit a harder, more defined look without added water retention. Such combinations are very popular and can dramatically enhance the show physique. One can also add strong non-aromatizing androgens like Halotestin, Proviron or trenbolone. In this case the androgen really helps to harden up the muscles, while at the same time making conditions more favorable for fat reduction. Some athletes do choose to incorporate oxandrolone into bulking stacks, but usually with standard bulking drugs like testosterone or Dianabol. The usual goal in this instance is an additional gain of strength, as well as more quality look to the androgen bulk. Women who fear the masculinizing effects of many steroids would be quite comfortable using this drug, as this is very rarely seen with low doses. Here a daily dosage of 5mg should illicit considerable growth without the noticeable androgenic side effects of other drugs. Eager females may wish to addition mild anabolics like Winstrol, Primobolan or Durabolin. When combined with such anabolics, the user should notice faster, more pronounced muscle-building effects, but may also increase the likelihood of androgenic buildup. Studies using low dosages of this compound note minimal interferences with natural testosterone production. Likewise when it is used alone in small amounts there is typically no need for ancillary drugs like Clomid/Nolvadex or HCG. This has a lot to do with the fact that it does not convert to estrogen, which we know has an extremely profound effect on endogenous hormone production. Without estrogen to trigger negative feedback, we seem to note a higher threshold before inhibition is noted. But at higher dosages of course, a suppression of natural testosterone levels will still occur with this drug as with any anabolic/androgenic steroid and therefore require post cycle therapy to restore the HPTA. Anavar is also a 17alpha alkylated oral steroid, carrying an alteration that will put stress on the liver. It is important to point out however that dispite this alteration oxandrolone is generally very well tolerated. While liver enzyme tests will occasionally show elevated values, actual damage due to this steroid is not usually a problem. Bio-Technology General states that oxandrolone is not as extensively metabolized by the liver as other l7aa orals are; evidenced by the fact that nearly a third of the compound is still intact when excreted in the urine. This may have to do with the understood milder nature of this agent (compared to other l7aa orals) in terms of hepatotoxicity. One study comparing the effects of oxandrolone to other agents including as methyltestosterone, norethandrolone, fluoxymesterone and methAndriol clearly supports this notion. Here it was demonstrated that oxandrolone causes the lowest sulfobromophthalein (BSP; a marker of liver stress) retention among all the alkylated orals tested. 20mg of oxandrolone in fact produced 72% less BSP retention than an equal dosage of fluoxyrnesterone, which is a considerable difference being that they possess the same liver-toxic alteration. With such findings, combined with the fact that athletes rarely report trouble with this drug, most feel comfortable believing it to be much safer to use during longer cycles than most of other orals with this distinction. Although this may very well be true, the chance of liver damage still cannot be excluded, especially with higher dosages.

Post up your protein bar recipes... I have been using the following and it's pretty good. It's LOW CARB but I still use it even though I'm now off keto. Ingredients 7 scoops Whey Protein (Chocolate) 1/2 cup butter, melted 4 oz. cream cheese 1 1/2 oz. peanuts, dry roasted Directions Melt butter & cream cheese in microwave and stir until smooth. Add protein powder, and stir until mixed. This will be very thick and hard to stir. Add finely chopped peanuts and mix. (You may have to knead it with your hands.) Place in a greased bread pan, pressing it into the shape of the pan, then chill. When chilled and firm, cut into 12 pieces and wrap them individually in plastic wrap or put pieces in a plastic bag and store in refrigerator. They come out chewy and look like fudge. I also throw in a couple Tablespoons of natty pb. Macros: Cals 186 Pro 15g Fat 13g Carb 2g

HGH is expensive and often faked so about 1 year ago I began testing HGH using HGH serum and IGF-1 testing via blood work. During this period of time the real world experience of testing HGH led me down an exciting road of research and learning. It is my hope to share my experiences and the science behind HGH testing so that HGH users may know for sure that the products they are injecting are genuine. The Protocol 10 iu rHGH Intramuscular injection (IM) Have your blood drawn 3-4 hours after injecting. Fasting is not necessary. No strenuous activity for at least 30 min prior to test. With a 10iu vial, inject 1 ml (cc) into the vial that contains the GH powder/puck. Direct the stream of water down the side of the glass, being careful not to direct the stream of water directly into the GH powder; swirl gently until the powder is completely dissolved in the solution. DO NOT SHAKE THE VIAL. *WARNING* GH serum testing is a crude method for confirming GH potency. What do the results mean? My research and experiences indicate that injecting 10iu IM of pharmaceutical grade rHGH yields a serum level of between 15-50+ ng/mL in most cases. However this is a general range and should not be interpreted to form a strong opinion about the potency of HGH products. Several tests should be performed to determine an individualistic response. Originally I began serum testing after injecting HGH subcutaneously (SC) however after some research and several lab tests I determined that SC injections did not raise GH serum levels as much as IM injections.(1)(2) This led to confusion as other users were injecting IM which made their results look dramatically better. In order to avoid confusion several veterans including myself decided to adopt IM as the standard method for testing serum HGH levels. What we learned along the way was quite interesting. Several men were getting fantastic results with various brands of underground and overseas HGH but I and another man were getting mediocre results at best. It seemed as though we were just unlucky. Our serum levels routinely fell 10-20 ng/mL lower than the others results. After about a half a dozen lab tests I decided to administer Canadian pharmacy HGH to help determine my response to a known potency of HGH. My results were staggering. My serum levels again fell short of what was expected. I tested less than 20 ng/mL. At that time I concluded that I was a low responder to HGH and that serum testing was a crude method at best for proving HGH. However a pattern was forming for me. 10iu of HGH was resulting in a range of about 14-24 ng/mL. This has given me a personal range that reflects real world experience not just some text book answer. The studies indicate that I should respond higher. The real world disagrees. Why? Maybe it’s my body weight or maybe my size (surface area). Maybe I just don’t respond well to HGH. Maybe it’s something else. My journey to find out left me questioning. Those questions led me to more research. I still feel like the answer is somewhat elusive but what I discovered next gave me a balanced understanding of just how crude GH serum testing is. In 2004 a study was conducted that measured GH antibodies in children who had received Growth Hormone over a 6 month period. 4 of the 47 children showed the presence of antibodies against rhGH. The researchers concluded that the main concern with anti-GH antibodies could be their ability to neutralize circulating growth hormone and inhibit its growth promoting effect.(3) Therefore we must be careful not to erroneously conclude a batch of GH is fake if a user’s results are substandard. This supports the view that several lab tests should be conducted with a known potency of rHGH. This will prove if the subject is a low responder to rHGH. Although this serum method is crude it does provide valuable insight. I have a known response to USA pharmacy rHGH. If an UGL or overseas product can elevate my GH levels as high as the US pharmacy GH I can be relatively confident that my GH is genuine. It is my hope that many users follow this protocol and record their responses here so we can further understand how injecting rHGH affects serum levels in a wide range of people. This will increase our knowledge and also protect members against those who sell fake products. ~Oly References 1 BMC Pharmacology and Toxicology | Full text | Pharmacokinetics of recombinant human growth hormone administered by cool.click (TM) 2, a new needle-free device, compared with subcutaneous administration using a conventional syringe and needle 2 http://www.eje-online.org/content/156/6/647.long 3 Growth hormone antibodi...

It is not difficult to make your own beef jerky! All you need is a lean cut of beef, an oven, and some time because it takes about 30 hours from start to finish. Adapted from Michael Symon’s Carnivore Makes about 30 jerky pieces Macros for the whole recipe: 534g Protein/Fat 128g/Carbs 17/Calories 3516 Per jerky: 18g Protein/ Fat 4g/Carbs 1g/Calories 117 Ingredients: 4 lbs beef eye of round, fat trimmed off 3 tablespoons kosher salt 4 teaspoons sugar 4 teaspoons garlic powder 2 teaspoon onion powder 2 teaspoon cayenne pepper 2 teaspoon chipotle powder 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon smoked paprika *optional* a few dashes of liquid smoke 24 hours before cooking the jerky Here are the step by steps for making the jerky. after these 4 steps i will post the cooking steps Prep Steps) 1)Trim off all the fat from the beef 2) Slice the beef along the grain into strips. It needs to be about 1 inch thick by 3 inches long. You’ll want the strips to resemble fat stubby fingers. It will cut into 30 pieces- Don’t worry about the strips being too large…there will be some shrinkage during the cooking process! 3) In a large mixing bowl, combine all the spices and salt (and liquid smoke if you are using it). 4) Season the beef with this spice mixture and make sure it coats all of the strips. Cover the beef with plastic wrap (or put in a freezer bag) and refrigerate for 24 hours. Cooking steps Cooking the jerky 1. Preheat oven to 250 F (130 C) 2. Place the strips on a baking rack on a baking sheet. To ensure an even drying, make sure the strips are not touching or overlapping the other strips of beef. Bake for about 3.5-4 hours until the beef is fairly dry. 3. Once your jerky is done, let it cool completely before storing in a container or it’ll form condensation, which will destroy your drying attempts. Keep the jerky at room temperature in an airtight container (or freezer bag). The jerky will last for several months. Makes about 30 jerky pieces Macros for the whole recipe: Protein 534g/Fat 128g/Carbs 17g/Calories 3516 Per jerky: Protein 18g/ Fat 4g/Carbs 1g/Calories 117

My name came from a brand I use to work for. As to what lead them to choose Olympic, I am unsure. Somehow from Olympic I became known as the ice cream man haha
