Dropping water is an important part of show preparation and getting it right is essential to get hard on stage. Unfortunately there are many confusing procedures out there. The most common one is to decrease your water intake gradually in the week leading up to the contest. These methods may include the use of diuretics. Then there is the way that makes physiological sense.

First we have to understand how the body works. Your body needs a certain amount of water a day to function. Generally people will be a  balanced water state. This means their water intake and water loss is in balance. The body gets enough water to function and to excrete toxins and by products. How does the body maintain a stock of water to function?

It does this by either holding back water or dropping water based on what it needs and what its getting. More salts in your system will cause water retention and less salts will cause the body to lose water. The body uses water to get rid of salts. If there is not enough water you end up de-hydrated. The body begins to leach water from the tissues and muscles to function and your muscles go flat with a pronounced loss in strength.

The key to controlling water and dropping water lies in the fact that the body takes time to react to the change in water intake. Gradual changes in water intake will give the body time to react and either increase water retention or drop water. The body will take between 6 and 12 hours to react to a change in water intake. It is this window that allows you to drop water for a short period of time, like being on stage.

Here is the physiological workings of the way you should drop water. From about 5 to 7 days out you start drinking a large amount of water throughout the day. After a period of time the body will start flushing water out and you’ll have to pee regularly. The body sees a large amount of water coming in so it dumps a lot of water because it sees it as excess. As you keep doing this, the body starts cycling water instead of holding on to it. One of the places that concerns us it the skin. The thinner the skin the harder you look. Because of cycling the skin will hold less and less water and become thiner. The skin is a major storage area for water.

This process will take a few days so that’s why you have to start at least 5 days out. Now you reach a point where you can take advantage of the bodies lag in reacting to change. You stop all water intake the night before the contest. You can suck on blocks of ice to help with the dry mouth that develops. Because the body is in a state of extreme flushing it will carry on cycling water out the body. Because there is very little or no water coming in you end up with the minimum amount of water in the skin when you go on stage.

You can see here how gradually reducing water intake leading up to the contest actually has the opposite effect because the body will hold onto that water instead of dropping it.

There are some subtle considerations here. Some guys will drink 500ml of Energade before going on stage to fill out, similar to the carbo-loading effect. The thinking is that the body will have reached the point where it sees a massive water shortage so the water that comes in gets shunted straight to the muscles helping you to fill out a bit. Especially if the fluid contains sugars. Timing is a factor here and everybody will react slightly differently depending on when you drink. Another method is to use some water to allow the carbohydrate intake to be more effective when you add carbs into your diet the night before the contest. Again you are taking advantage of the bodies lag at reacting. I like this method, but you may have to go through many contests to find out exactly what timing works for you. The more you do it the better you’ll get at it.

Other considerations
The process will work much better if you use distilled water. Because there is no salts whatsoever in distilled water, the body will begin flushing much faster. This means you can start the water dropping procedure later. or use less water to get a good effect.

The next consideration is diuretics. By using these in conjunction with the water dropping procedure you can accelerate the effect, both while flushing and when you stop the intake of water. The use of diuretics can be dangerous. Diuretics like Lasix will flush out minerals like potassium and this can effect the muscle fullness, kidney failure or create heart issues in extreme cases. Aldactone (Speractin) is more popular because it has a potassium sparing effect. The shorter the use of diuretics the less chance you have of ending up flat or having serious side effects.

Guys using the gradual decrease in water intake method, will find themselves flat if they then try and use diuretics. The reason is that the diuretics keeps pushing water out but because of the method they use the body is already in a state of de-hydration.

To recap
High water intake will cause the body to drop water. By stopping 12 hours out from the contest, the body will not react fast enough so you’ll keep on dropping water allowing you to get on stage harder. Control your water intake during carbo-loading so you can get the muscles fuller without having water stored in the skin. Keep careful track of your actions so you know where and how much to adjust the next time you go through the procedure.

Thanks for sharing this, I never thought about the force requiring more pip when using the higher gauge needle. I always draw with 20 and pin with 23 but used to use 22. I rarely get any pip though and usually only got it when I used a brand that I now assume was not as clean. 

No problem at all hun 

21 Gauge needle used to inject steroids into deep muscle tissue. Many people ask me what needle to use to inject steroids and the answer is simple. 21 gauge (which refers to the thickness of the needle, the lower the number the thicker it is), one-and-a-half inch length (approximately  38mm).

The reason for using this exact size is not so obvious. There are two types of steroids, oil based (very seldom a thin oil) and water based suspensions. The thick oil based steroids need a thicker needle to suck up the oil into the syringe and to be able to inject it smoothly. This is critical because 99% of all people injection oil based steroid with a needle that is to thin is going to end up with a painful injection site for days.

The reason for this is two fold. The excessive force needed to inject the oil through a thin needle means there is a lot of movement of the needle when injecting and this bruises and damages surrounding tissue. The second issue is that the force with which the oil leaves the needle tip causes further damage to the tissue. Imagine forcing water down a very narrow hose pipe, it will spry out harder and further than out of a big hosepipe.

With water bases suspension, thicker needles are also essential. Because these are suspensions, meaning particles are not dissolved in the water but floats in it so to speak, the risk of these particles clogging the needle is very high. Anybody that has injected Aqua Test for instance will tell you how often it clogs the needle.

This leads to the conclusion that you need a thicker and longer needle to inject deep in the muscle without excessive force. The 23 gauge long needle is the way to go.

People sometimes ask me whether protein shakes are any good. The answer is yes, but there are some benefits of getting protein in through food in your diet. The reason for this is digestion and absorption.

Protein shakes, provided they are made from good whey protein, digest very quickly and absorbs well. So they are a great source of protein, especially if you are on a high protein diet that makes it hard to eat a lot of protein.

Protein from meat sources takes longer to digest and absorb. Red meat takes the longest while the whiter meats absorb faster, fish for instance. These are still good sources of protein but the fact that they absorb slower gives them a benefit over fast absorbing proteins. That benefit is metabolism.

Digestion takes up a good deal of you metabolic activity. This is why smaller meals throughout the day keep your metabolism going. Keeping in mind that smaller meals also means more effective absorption. You would absorb less protein from eating a 500g steak in one go that you would eating the same steak broken down into 5 100g meals throughout the day. And the other benefit is that your metabolic activity would actually increase with the smaller meals whereas large meals tend to slow metabolic rate down.

Using this information one can more effectively plan your protein intake to get the maximum benefit. During the day you can use protein from conventional sources in smaller portions, thus increasing absorption and metabolic activity. Fast absorbing protein shakes works great at night before you go to sleep, when your metabolism will naturally slow down. It also works great right after a workout when you need to get your protein level up quickly to help recovery.

A work of caution – not all protein shakes are good. The label may say that they contain a certain amount per serving, but that does not mean it’s good protein. Many companies use combinations of protein to make up their protein shakes. This is done for one reason – cost. By adding low quality cheap protein to the mix you can still claim the same amount per serving, when in fact the profile of amino-acids from cheap sources like soya means much less benefits for the user. Makes sure you look for Whey Protein Concentrate and Whey Protein Isolate combinations and stick to good brands.

Hey guys,

im from Victoria bc been training on and off about 7 years but really taken my diet and training seriously the past 3 years. I’m planning to compete in classic physique. I’ve been using aas on and off about 5 years. I’m willing to talk about gear, nutrition , supps and my personal experience. The bodybuilding scene in Victoria is small and a tight nit community. Feel free to shoot me a message with any questions you have. 

 

Chers 

Hi and welcome to the board glad Msclmama told you to join....

Clenbuterol has been a favorite with bodybuilders and with general athletes for a very long time. Due to the high cost it has not really been used as a mainstream fat burner for a long time and Ephedrine based fat burners where far more popular.

All that has changed with the launch of Nomad’s Clenbuterol. Clenbuterol fat burningI became cost effective, with a quality version that is easily obtained with consistent supply. Clenbuterol is a Beta-2 Androgenic Antagonist and has more muscle sparing properties that Ephedrine. In other words in blocks muscle breakdown.This is also the reason some people actually gain lean muscle mass on Clenbuterol and it work better on low calorie diets where maintaining lean muscle is essential for results.

Like Ephedrine, there is a distinct receptor downgrade with Clen so traditionally using it on and off was necessary to get prolonged results. But there has been remedy for this around for quite a while in the form of Ketotifen. Mostly used in the bodybuilding market due to price, availability and just plain awareness of it, all that has changes once again with the introduction of an affordable version from Nomad Labs by the name of Zaditen.

Using Ketotifen with Clenbuterol, represents one of the biggest jumps in fat burning options we have had to date. Ketotifen cleans the beta-2 androgenic receptor sites. Not originally intend for this, it is one of those side effects that turned out to be our greatest allies. What it means is that you can use Clenbuterol without a break and this represents a major increase in results of over conventional fat burners or using Clen by itself. Up to a 100% increase in results over the same period of use. That’s a big jump.

Ketotifen also has a timing advantage. Because it makes you drowsy, taking it at night is preferable while at the same time taking Clen at night is not. However, taking Clen fist thing in the morning is common practice. This means that you can clean the receptor site over night and have a clean slate so to speak in the morning. A win win situation.

Clenbuterol is typically use in split doses throughout the day and Ketotifen is used as a single tab at night. A simple combination and a must for Clenbuterol users.

An awesome fat burner used it many times...

This is a fantastic peptide ive used it quite a lot....

(Human Growth Hormone)

Somatropin is any form of synthetically created Human Growth Hormone (HGH). Synthetic HGH is simply a man made version of the naturally produced Growth Hormone (GH) by the human body. This is one of the most valuable and important hormones our body makes, and is perhaps the most sought out synthetic hormone on the market.

HGH became part of medicine in the 1950’s, and was first successfully used in treatment in 1958. The form of GH used as this time was extracted from the pituitary of human cadavers. This was practiced worldwide but banned by the FDA in the U.S. in 1985. The use of GH extract had been linked to CJD and shown to be potentially fatal. Only 1% of all GH users fell prey to CJD, but that was enough for the FDA and almost ended any hope of improving methods. When the FDA makes its mind up it can be very difficult for anyone in the U.S. to even attempt improvements.

Once extract had been banned a variant hormone in Somatrem would shortly replace it. This was a contaminant free product but nowhere near as effective as GH. Soon after, Kabi Vitrum of Sweden found the means to synthesize pure GH, one that is contaminant free. The synthetic form of GH became known as Somatropin. All brands of synthetic HGH are known as Somatropin.

Important Note: Somatropin (HGH) is not an anabolic steroid. It is also referred to as an anabolic steroid in news reports, but is not an anabolic steroid in any shape or form.

Somatropin Functions & Traits

HGH is a protein based hormone that is produced by the pituitary gland. This is a hormone produced by all people regardless of sex or age, although in very low amounts in adulthood. This is a hormone that affects the entire human body and is essential to our wellbeing, out health and how we function. Somatropin is simply a synthetic version of this naturally produced hormone.

Somatropin (HGH) functions by sending a signal to the cells in our muscles, bones and fat tissue. This signal promotes muscle growth and affects fat loss. The functions of the hormone also increase gluconeogenesis and promote insulin resistance thereby providing reduced sensitivity to insulin. All of this results in an increase rate of fat loss.

There are numerous forms of Somatropin on the market, or we should say “supposed” Somatropin. There are many variants and fragments but they are not Somatropin. Only the 191 amino acid sequence that is identical to naturally produced GH can be labeled true Somatropin. Any variation, even if effective, is not Somatropin.

Important Note: Somatropin not only affects muscle and fat, but the effects go into bone and organs and almost all areas of the human body.

Effects of Somatropin

The effects of Somatropin cover a wide range of areas and can lead to dramatic improvements all over the human body. This is a compound that’s most commonly used to treat pituitary dwarfism or GH deficiency in adults in medical settings, which can occur for numerous reasons. It is also used in HIV and AIDS treatment, burn victims, short bowel syndrome and Prader-Willi syndrome. However, in recent years the most common reason for use (medically) has become anti-aging. Anti-aging use is common worldwide but far more common outside the U.S. The drug is very expensive (heavily in the U.S.) and laws still make anti-aging practices somewhat difficult in the U.S.

For the athlete, Somatropin is a highly beneficial compound although not commonly one that’s used alone. When used alone the primary benefit is anti-aging and most athletes are looking for a lot more. This is an anabolic hormone, but not well known for promoting significant growth. However, when combined with anabolic steroids the results can be incredible. Somatropin and anabolic steroids appear to work very well with one another. You can take a steroid alone and then take it with Somatropin in the same dose and the cycle that included Somatropin will always yield superior results.

One of the best traits of Somatropin for the athlete is in its ability to promote recovery. Recovery is when progress is made and without it no progress is made. The more we can improve on the recovery process the greater our progress can be. This can make use alone and without other hormones very valuable, but there are things that must be understood. It takes months and months for these types of benefits to become truly beneficial. You can’t take Somatropin for a few weeks and expect to hold a benefit. And if recovery is the only benefit you’re after (truly valuable) because it’s not as “visual” as mass and strength some become frustrated too quickly.

Another important effect of Somatropin is its effect on the metabolism. For the bodybuilder this is extremely important. Off-season use of Somatropin will allow for less fat to be gained during a period of growth. It becomes even more valuable during a cutting cycle designed for contest prep as the individual will burn fat at a much greater rate, preserve far more muscle tissue and protect from injuries that occur at far greater frequencies during this period of training.

The benficial effects of Somatropin do not end there. HGH is directly involved and related to another powerful naturally produced hormone, Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1). This is another hormone that affects nearly every cell in the human body, is essential for recovery and bodily function. Increases in HGH levels will increase IGF-1 levels in the body.

Important Note: IGF-1 can be an antagonist to the effects of HGH. This can make the use of exogenous IGF-1 damaging to the individual who supplements with exogenous GH in some cases.

Overall, and it’s not hard to see why, Somatropin has often been called “The Fountain of Youth.” This is not something that will prevent aging, but it will most certainly slow down the effects. It is nearly impossible for any adult not to benefit from Somatropin use. Whether for the purpose of athletics, bodybuilding or anti-aging and whether male or female, the effects of Somatropin include:

• Decreased Body Fat

· Enhanced Ability to Maintain Proper Body Fat Levels

• A Tighter Physique
• Enhanced Metabolic Rate
• Enhanced Sense of Wellbeing
• Healthier Skin
• Improved Sleeping Patterns
• Increased Bone Strength
• Increased Energy
• Increased Joint Strength
• Increased Lean Tissue Growth
• Increased Rate of Physical Recovery
• Increased Tendon Strength

This is only the tip if the iceberg when it comes to Somatropin, it can provide even more than the above list shows. But the above list alone should give you a very good idea of how valuable this hormone is.

Side Effects of Somatropin

Somatropin is one of the friendliest hormones anyone can use. There are possible side effects of Somatropin use, but they are not common. The side effects of Somatropin are most commonly associated with dose, meaning too much can lead to a higher probability of negative effects. When the individual first starts using Somatropin this too can also be a time when minor side effects occur, but they will normally fade as the body adapts.

The most common side effect of Somatropin is water retention. This most commonly occurs in the ankles and wrists. This will normally subside after the body accustoms but can be problematic with high doses. Headaches and joint discomfort can also be fairly common, but most users should not have a long-term issue with proper use. Although rare, flu like symptoms are possible during the early stages of Somatropin use.

The side effects of Somatropin may also include carpal tunnel syndrome when water retention is severe. This is most common with performance enhancement level doses. A deficiency in thyroid production is also possible, particularly with performance level doses. If this is an issue it can be remedied by the use of Liothyronine Sodium, better known as Cytomel (T3). Other possible yet rare side effects include nausea, dizziness, respiratory infection and a numbing of the skin.

The most serious side effects of Somatropin revolve around abuse and can be highly problematic. Enlargement of the hands and feet, jaw line and even internal organs can occur with long-term high dose use. Somatropin can and should be used long-term (indefinitely) for a true benefit, but should be used responsibly with proper doses in order to avoid these issues. Short-term Type 2 diabetes is also possible due to the hormone’s affect on blood sugar. Diet adjustments may need to be made.

The final possible side effect of Somatropin is irritation at the injected area. An itchy feeling or small lumps around the injection area are possible. Rotating injection sites is important. You may find certain areas of the body respond better than others.

Somatropin Administration

Somatropin is an injectable hormone and can be administered intramuscularly (IM) or subcutaneously (SubQ). The function of the hormone will vary depending on the area injected, but both IM and SubQ have their advantages:

· SubQ: Bioavailability is approximately 75% - Half-life is approximately 3.8 hours

· IM Bioavailability is approximately 63% - Half-life is approximately 4.9 hours

Important Note: Regardless of the type of injection, IM or SubQ the increase in IGF-1 production will last more than 24 hours.

For medical use male Somatropin doses will fall in the 1-3iu per day range. 4iu’s will sometimes be prescribed, but it is not common. For female Somatropin use, doses will normally fall in the 1-2iu per day range. In some cases doses may be slightly less than 1iu per day in anti-aging plans.

For the athlete doses can vary quite a bit. 2-4iu per day can be tremendously beneficial for recovery and fat loss. Even if used at this dose in the off-season, with anabolic steroids the synergy provided will be significantly high. Females can receive the same benefits in the 1-2iu per day range.

For true growth to be had, off-season cycles, 6-8ius is normally standard but must be used long term. More is used in hardcore circles; doses beyond 10iu per day are not uncommon but greatly increase the risk of side effects. Females who desire a larger more anabolic dose will normally dose the hormone at 3-4iu per day.

Regardless of the dose, Somatropin is not something that will produce results or significant benefits quickly. Use must be long-term. The shortest amount of time the hormone could be used beneficially is 8-12 weeks in order to promote fat loss and recovery with 16 weeks being far more beneficial. For a strong anabolic effect, six months of use will be necessary. If used for the purpose of anti-aging, use will last indefinitely, possibly for life.

ANOTHER GREAT PEPTIDE 

Sermorelin acetate is a recently synthesized (man-made) peptide analogue of growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) a naturally occurring hormone that is produced in the hypothalamus and stimulates and controls the production of growth hormone (GH) within the pituitary gland. GHRH, which is necessary for growth and development, was first described by Nobel Laureates R. Guilleman and A Shalley. In the 1970s one of their students, William Wehrenberg, began studying which part of the GHRH molecule was essential in stimulating the pituitary gland.

SERMORELIN FUNCTION AND TRAITS
 

By removing individual amino acids from the GHRH molecule, Wehrenberg found that only the first 29 amino acids were essential for the stimulation of GH production in the pituitary gland. Semorelin is therefore only comprised of these 29 essential amino acids, forming a short polypeptide chain that is considered one of the shortest functional fragments of the GHRH molecule. It was first developed with a one-step chromatographic method capable of separating all isomers of polyethylene glycol (PEG) from naturally occurring GHRH.

The biological effects of sermorelin were first observed in vitro cultures of rat pituitary cells. When compared to other GHRH analogues, sermorelin was found to be the most potent, potentially 4-5 times as potent as naturally produced GHRH. Recent studies of other GHRH analogues in pigs have also found synthetic GHRH analogues to be more effective than the naturally occurring hormone.

Sermorelin is now used as a standard test for growth hormone secretion and is primarily prescribed for children who do not produce GH properly and fail to grow healthily as a result. It has a secondary, off-label use in “repairing” declining GH levels (a natural side effect of aging that leads to weight gain, decreased strength and muscle mass, and insomnia in elder subjects). GH levels typically peak at around 20 years of age in humans and fall by about 14% for every decade that passes, but use of Sermorelin can potentially rejuvenate GH back to youthful levels.

EFFECTS OF SEMORELIN

Sermorelin has a wide range of positive effects. Due to its nature as a GHRH, sermorelin only increases the body’s ability to produce more growth hormone; it is not an injection of growth hormone itself. In both a performance enhancing and general well-being sense, sermorelin has a wide array of benefits that make it a powerful and valuable substance.
 

• Mental: Focus and mental clarity improve, leading to an easing of general day-to-day tasks. Libido can be heightened and users have reported an improvement in their sex lives. General fatigue as well depression can also be reduced. All of these qualities can lead to a generally healthier, happier lifestyle.
   
• Physical: Sermorelin increases the development of lean body mass through the development of new muscle cells and reduces body fat through lipolysis. This leads to increased strength and endurance and improved muscle tone as well as improved skin elasticity (smoother, less wrinkly skin) and loss of cellulite. Calcium retention improves, leading to the increased mineralization of bone (bone density), strengthening the skeletal system.
   
• General enhancement: Protein synthesis increases, leading to the stimulation of all internal organs (including the heart) except for the brain. Cholesterol levels fall. Regardless of the purpose of use, joint and muscle pain is lessened, one’s recovery time from wounds increases, and the immune system improves. The individual will not tire as quickly and will be able to go longer in their daily activities, be those exercise related or other. Deeper, more restful and satisfying sleep can be expected (some have reported more vivid dreams) and hair can becomes thicker, fuller, and more lustrous.
   

SIDE EFFECTS OF SEMORELIN

There are a significant number of potential side effects that come with the use of sermorelin, although in the vast majority of cases the side effects, if present at all, are relatively mild. While side effects are certainly possible and semorelin is not risk-free, for a healthy adult these risk can be minimized and many will find no negative side effects at all.

• Common side effects: The most common side effects (about 17% of total cases) include pain, swelling, and/or redness at the injection site. These side effects usually do not require medical attention. Less common are itching and trouble swallowing. As with any peptide, allergic reactions can occur. Many patients develop antibodies to growth hormone–releasing hormone at least once during treatment with sermorelin. However, the significance of these antibodies is not known. Their presence does not appear to affect growth, nor do they cause specific side effects. In less than 1% of cases, dizziness, flushing, headache, hyperactivity, or sleepiness have been reported. The use of semorelin could also potentially lead to reduced risk of hypertension, stroke/aneurysm/heart attack, heart and kidney failure, and vision changes or loss, however none of these conditions have been conclusively linked to its use.
   
• Medical risk: Studies in rats, rabbits, and pigs have shown there to be an adverse effect upon the fetuses of pregnant females. There have been no studies at all regarding this product and its risks in human females who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant and it is currently unknown whether sermorelin is released in mammalian breast milk. Using alcohol, tobacco or other medications (especially corticosteroids and glucocorticoid) with certain products may cause certain unwanted interactions to occur. Speak to your healthcare professional about other medicines you take and your lifestyle choices before starting to use this substance. The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this product, so always check with your doctor beforehand, especially if you suffer from an under/hyperactive thyroid. Long-term studies to determine if sermorelin has any carcinogenic properties in either humans or animals have not been conducted, but neither have any reports of cancer caused by semorelin been reported.

SERMORELIN ADMINISTRATION

Sermorelin is prescribed as a fine white powder of a variable dose (in milligrams) in a vial that must be mixed with bacteriostatic water or medical grade saline solution as a diluent. The powder should be stored out of light at or below room temperature. The solution is used by injection into subcutaneous (below the skin) body fat using a very small needle, comparable to what a diabetic would use to take their insulin shots.

Once combined into solution form, sermorelin must be kept in the refrigerator (do not freeze—store between 2 and 8°C/36 and 46°F) ) and out of light or else the chain of amino acids will break down and it will be rendered ineffective. Before use, check the liquid for particles or discoloration and, if found, discard the solution. As with most peptides, there is a saturation dose at which point taking any more of the peptide will not increase the production of growth hormone, a consequence of the body’s natural mechanism to keep hormonal levels at a safe homeostasis. This saturation dose is typically around 100mcg.

It is best to use a different place on the body for each injection (for example, abdomen, hip, thigh, or upper arm). The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients based off of their body-mass index (BMI); use it exactly as directed by your doctor and do not use it more often than your doctor prescribed. Sermorelin has an ongoing effect in which optimal HGH levels can be sustained long after the last injection. Just like synthetic GH, sermorelin initially must be injected every day. Unlike synthetic HGH, once optimal levels reached, injection frequency can be decreased or stopped altogether

An awesome read::

Steroids and testosterone, they are to performance as the bat is to the ball. Without a bat, you cannot have baseball, and without testosterone, you cannot have anabolic steroids. It may sound simple, and that’s because it is. Anabolicsteroids and testosterone share a very special relationship for one simple reason; all anabolic steroids owe their existence to the steroidal testosterone hormone. This makes the testosterone steroid the most important steroid of all; it may not be your favorite anabolic steroid, but it is without question the most important. Look at it like this; with no air there is no life, and with no testosterone there are no anabolic steroids.

The Relationship:

While steroids and testosterone share this special interconnected relationship it is rather a general coexistence. As you understand, there are numerous anabolic steroids, and within testosterone alone there are numerous forms. With this in mind, a common question is how do we best mix and match various steroids and testosterone, and which ones do we use? This is a fair question to have, for if you don’t know you simply don’t know, but it’s also an easy question to answer. For the vast majority of cases, any testosterone form will stack well with any anabolic steroid. While other steroids may not stack well together, testosterone is one of the few you cannot go wrong with every single time. So where does this leave us, is there anything else to discuss? We know steroids and testosterone share an intrinsic nature, and we know all anabolic steroids stack well with testosterone, so where does this leave us? How about a brief explanation of the hormones so you know what you’re getting into; sounds about right.

Testosterone:

Testosterone has obviously always been around; after all, whether you like it or not you produce it naturally and essentially. Testosterone is the primary androgenic hormone in your body and one of the most important hormones your body produces. This simple hormone plays a role in your physical state from strength and tissue size to your overall metabolic function. Further, testosterone plays a key role in your sexual development and later your performance, but it does not end there, not at all. Testosterone also plays a role in your immune system, effects your clarity of mind, focus and even your general sense of well-being. Needless to say, when testosterone levels fall you will suffer greatly, and often in horrific ways.

Steroids and Testosterone – The Beginning:

Now you know what testosterone is, at least in a general sense, but how does this pertain to exogenous forms and steroids in general? Synthetic steroids, specifically, anabolic androgenic steroids have not always existed, in-fact, it was not until the 1930’s that they became a reality. In 1931, German chemist Adolf Butenandt, from simple urine was able to extract androstenone, and a few short years later fellow chemist Leopold Ruzicka found a way to synthesize the hormone. What this meant was steroidal hormones could now be synthesized, and that is exactly what happened. In 1935, the world was given anabolic steroids and testosterone was the very first one. The scientific breakthrough was so tremendous Butenandt and Ruzicka were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1939; that is correct, Butenandt and Ruzicka were awarded a Nobel Prize for bringing us anabolic steroids.

Moving Forward:

Through the work of Butenandt and Ruzicka the anabolic steroid age began, and it has not slowed down since. Steroids and testosterone in general are used by more adults than ever before, and from the first batch of testosterone into the modern era we now have numerous anabolic hormones from which to choose. Of course, when it comes to steroids and testosterone simply stating any will do does not suffice for the majority, and this is where there’s terrific news for you. We have listed below the most common testosterone steroids along with their active half-life and recommended injection frequency for performance.

What to Expect:

What should you expect from steroids and testosterone? What do you want, put the thought in your head and you can have it. Do you want to be bigger, fine, the means are available. Do you want to be stronger, again, the way is here. Do you want to be leaner, harder, increase athletic performance and simply improve your overall life dramatically? Steroids and testosterone can do all of these things, but guess what, testosterone alone can provide each and every trait we just mentioned; it truly is that remarkable. For many performance enhancers, testosterone is all they’ll ever need. This does not mean other steroids are worthless, far from it, but if you were to choose one and only one you can never go wrong with testosterone.

Choose the correct diet.

An insufficient nutrition is often the reason why the athlete does not make any progress. What is the use of the best training, the intake of steroids, and sufficiently long rest periods if the body does not have the right nutrients in a sufficient amount- Eberhard Schneider in his book Kraft training für Kung-Fu und Karate said it to the point: "Just as a skyscraper cannot be built of loam it is impossible to develop a strong muscle system on a diet of beer and pizza." Intensively training bodybuilders have a distinctly higher need of nutrients which increases even further when simultaneously taking steroids. The right nutrition tremendously increases the effect of every steroid regime because steroids develop their full effect only when adequate calories and nutrients are supplied. Our Diet Tips contain a nutrition program suitable for this purpose and  meets four basic requirements:

1.) Sufficient intake of high-quality protein: The protein intake is the decisive factor when gaining weight since protein is the building block for the muscle tissue. Of special importance is the combination of the supplied protein. Animal protein is in first place because of its high biological value and a high content of essential amino acids. The protein absorbed by the body through food is broken down into amino acids and transported through the blood to the muscle cell. The goal is to obtain a positive nitrogen balance in the muscle cell which means that it assimilates more protein than it releases. Best sources are meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and milk products. The required daily amount depends on the body weight. A supply of 1- 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight/day is usually effective. A bodybuilder weighing 200 pounds thus needs 250 g of protein per day. Since one gram of protein has an energy value of 4.1 kcal the athlete consumes 1,000 kcal per day in form of protein.

2.) Sufficient supply of complex carbohydrates: The importance of complex carbohydrates in the nutrition schedule of a bodybuilder cannot be emphasized often enough. They provide a continuous energy supply which is very important to maintain the blood sugar level at a constant level, prevent that protein is transformed into energy, and are an important factor during the burning of fat. Preferred sources are rice, oats, whole wheat bread, noodles, and vegetables. The total daily amount of carbohydrates should be around 800-900 g, which corresponds to an energy value of 4.1 kcal per gram of a daily caloric-intake of 3,200 to 3,600 only for carbohydrates. 85% are best taken in form of complex carbohydrates, the remaining 15% as simply carbohydrates, mostly fruit.

3.) Sufficient supply of calories: Bodybuilder who work out daily and cat only 2,000 to 3,000 kcal per day should not wonder when they do not obtain any sizable gains. If you have ever watched a massive bodybuilder taking steroids during his buildup phase you will know that eating a pound of steak, 4 large potatoes, and a bowl of salad together with a protein drink is nothing unusual "To get big, you have to cat big" is a favorite slogan among massive bodybuilders. Those who are healthy, have a normal metabolism, follow a hard and heavy training schedule, want to build up mass, and take steroids, will usually come closer to their goal when eating approx. 5,000 calories per day.

4.) Eat according to the clock: This point is most often neglected in Diet Tips because it requires a high degree of discipline, motivation, and long range planning. The human being is a "creature of habit" and the body loves regular schedules. It is highly recommended to put together a nutrition plan which fits your daily schedule and to follow through without compromise. Eat several meals a day, possibly 5-6 and always at the same time. No matter whether or not you are hungry, traveling, at work or with friends, at five o clock you should know that it is time for your fifth meal, so EAT. Regular meals in short intervals induce the body to continuously release insulin. This is extremely important since insulin transports amino acids to the muscle cell and the body is in an anabolic state. Irregular meals, skipping a meal, fewer large meals are totally counterproductive.

In the following Diet Tips we give you an example of a daily schedule which meets the above mentioned requirements. This nutrition program is obviously only intended as a guideline and can be changed by athletes in every way to meet his individual needs, as long as the discussed requirements are met.

 

Note: Since meal number two and three are taken at work we recommend that you prepare them the night before, keep them in a cooler, and take them to work. 

The Diet Tips effectiveness of this nutrition program and the indicated guidelines are based on two necessary basic requirements: MOTIVATION AND DISCIPLINE. This really shows how strong your desire really is to build strength and muscle mass and how much you are willing to do to achieve this goal. You must simply be convinced that in combination with a consequent, right nutrition optimal and quickest progress can be made. Get enthusiastic about a high?quality and often monotonous nutrition: If the spark and willpower are not there, the program is often carried out for two to three weeks and in the following the athlete goes back to his old comfortable eating habits. Bodybuilders with a clear goal before their eyes, an enormous willpower, a strong psyche, a great deal of enthusiasm, and a small tendency to masochism continue this schedule over months and even years. Always keep in mind: Your results are the mirror image of your hard work.

I am going to run the following (fol your protocols listed). Unless, Muscle Beauty you would like to recommend dosing any different for a woman or what you would recommend for dosing.

The following I will be running:
Ipamorlin
TB - 500
CJC 1295

And popping my Mt2 cherry as well  

And once I start GH I will also write about that, starting peps first.. then adding the GH. Should really help put some quality size on this off season! Very excited to write reviews. I love being a guinea pig what can I say lol!

That sounds awesome and the mt2 let me tell you that is a great one the tanning peptide I got Jamaican black from it I was so dark I had to lighten it up cuz it actually looked unnatural but you don't get any tanning lines which is actually really nice I do like that factor and I will say this for myself anyway your sex drive actually Peaks a lot and yes I agree I like being a test guinea pig as well I have pretty much use everything that's out there at least once and some of them I got off of them thank goodness early enough that it did not have bad side effects but there are some out there that are not good for a woman and Anadrol is definitely one of them I have actually used tren as well which I did actually like it but it is very harsh I use that when I was actually powerlifting and I did that with propionate and I've used  Sustanon 250 as well. GH also is the bomb hands down...

What you’ll need:

Peptides
Bacteriostatic Water
Syringes
Alcohol Swabs

The Process of Reconstitution

When ready to reconstitute remove your vial from the fridge and pop the top cap; this will reveal a rubber stopper. You may need to do the same for your bacteriostatic water.

You will want to adequately clean the rubber stopper with an alcohol swab; moving back and forth is best.

Once both rubber stoppers have been sanitized proceed to remove both caps on your syringe. This will reveal a plunger handle and needle point.

You are ready to begin. Always be sure to perform said actions in a clean environment, using a fresh needle and having washed your hands.

Before inserting the needle, into the bacteriostatic water, draw up a volume of air by pulling the plunger back. This volume should be equivalent to your desired volume of water.

Puncture the vial of bacteriostatic water, aiming for the center of the rubber stopper. Flip the vial and needle upside down so the needle point is aiming to the sky and the vial top pointing towards the ground; this will ensure you draw water and not air. Push the syringe plunger forward allowing the full volume of air to enter the vial. After the syringe has been emptied of all air… draw the required volume of water in units by pulling the plunger back.

Then removing the syringe from the bacteriostatic water immediately puncture the vial of peptide; again aiming for the center of the rubber stopper.

Press the plunger down, forcing water into the vial. Once contact is made the peptide should dissolve.

After all the water has entered the vial remove the syringe.

With the syringe out of the vial, pull the plunger all the way out; creating a chimney like structure. Re-puncture the vial once more with the plunger removed from the syringe. This will equalize any pressure imbalances. After a second or two remove the syringe and recap the needle end. Dispose of the needle in a safe manner.

Check the vial of peptide to ensure all the powder has dissolved. Rotate or turn the vial to “collect” any amount that has yet to dissolve.

Post reconstitution you will want to keep your vials in a cool, dark environment; refrigeration at 4 degrees C is ideal. This reduces chance of degradation and improves shelf life. Kept within a fridge most will find 4 to 6 weeks without significant degradation. 2 If a fridge is not available you may be able to without significant degradation. 3.

CALCULATIONS

A quick calculation tip. 1 mcg/kg is considered ones situation dose; in reference the GHRP and GHRH usage. 5 Most doses are referred to using this scale (i.e. half saturation, quarter saturation, full saturation). For a 220 lb man 100 mcg of GHRP or GHRH is considered saturation. You will want to reconstitute in a manner that is productive to both your saturation and syringe capability (sometimes syringe units are difficult to asses).

When performing calculations keep in mind that the amount of peptide within your vial is a constant, so long as you do not remove anything from your peptide vial, AND that using less water for reconstitution leads to longer shelf life. 4

Quick Conversions
1 MG = 1,000 MCG
1 ML= 100 Units

To achieve a desired amount per unit use the following egreention:

Amount of total peptide in mcg/ Amount Desired per Unit in mcg= amount of water needed in units

For example.. if you want 50mcg per unit and you have a 5mg vial:

5 mg= 5000 mcg

5,000mcg/ 50mcg per unit= 100 units of water

So you would need to reconstitute using 100 units of water and you would get 50 mcg of peptide per each unit of water. With this you would need 2 units to get 100mcg of peptide… and so fourth.

If you want 20mcg per unit and you have a 5mg vial:

5 mg= 5000 mcg

5,000mcg/ 20mcg per unit= 250 units of water

So you would need to reconstitute using 250 units of water and you would get 20 mcg of peptide per each unit of water. With this you would need 5 units to get 100mcg of peptide… and so fourth.

DRAWING UP PEPTIDE FOR USE

Reconstituted peptide is ready to use. Following your calculations you should know exactly how much peptide is present per unit. Your goal is to inject under the skin, SubQ, and into the fat layer present on the belly face. Avoid areas around the belly button and be sure to inject into an area with some amount of fat present.

Before starting any injection process be sure to have properly assessed your environment and personal cleanliness:  washing your hands, avoiding injections in places such as the restroom and having stored your peptide vial in a sanitary location.

Start by using an alcohol swab to clean the rubber stopper of your peptide vial.

Using a fresh syringe remove both protective ends; revealing both the plunger and the needle.

Insert the needle, as best you can, into the center of the rubber stopper.

Flip the vial and needle upside down so the needle point is aiming to the sky and the vial top pointing towards the ground; this will ensure you draw peptide and not air.

Draw your exact amount, paying attention to your unit increment (does your syringe use 5 increments for 10 units? or 10 increments for 10 units? This is important to address).

After drawing up the exact amount remove your syringe from the peptide vial. With the syringe in hand use your other hand to lift your shirt, revealing your belly, and clean the injection area with an alcohol swab.

Pinch underneath the area you just cleaned, creating a slight bulge, and quickly push the needle into the location.

Once in the proper location you may proceed to push the plunger down, allowing the peptide to enter the injection point.

After a few seconds, allowing the syringe to empty, remove the syringe. Recap and properly dispose.

If using two peptides it is okay to draw up both into the same syringe and perform one injection. When mixed in 1 syringe be sure to use the peptide within a reasonable timeframe; 12 hours is a good number for those whom need to be exact. Keeping peptides in an unmixed state will prevent degradation over the long term, so it’s ideal to only mix when ready to inject.

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.

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.

Lol love the shirt that rocks girl its so great to have to aboard and you look incredible...
