5 minutes must read on steroids !
You will not regret reading this, on controray you will thank me at the end.
I have used my first anabolic steroids cycle in 1993 and have used everything ever since, just hear what I have to say.
Statements are given in order of imporance for comprehending BEFORE you start any PED protocol.
Hormones in the body that play a role in muscle building and fat loss are testosterone, igf1 (insulin like growth hormone), hgh (human growth hormone), inslulin and estrogen (predominate hormone in female).
These hormones are naturally occuring in the body and manipulating their total concetration and ratio by either exogenous intake (steroids, synthetic hgh and insulin) or stimulating body to produce their own ( peptides and some other PED) one can achieve superhuman performance and build extraordirany body.
Estrogen is never used exogenous by men, yet we must be fully aware of its functions in the body, failing to recognize too high or even too low estrogen will have negative impact on your bodybuiling efforts.
Erythropoiesis : Creation of red blood cells. More red blood cells carry more oxygen and manipulating that process in the body is directly associated with enhanced performace. Anabolic steroids all have impact on this process and we call it "THE PUMP". Favored by everyone. Pumping iron becomes a pure pleasure while on steroids.
Arnold No_last_name_needed even compared anabolic pump in the gym to sexual arousment in legendary Pumping iron movie. Yes it does feel great. Steroids known for best effect in production of red blood cells are Anadrol (clinically used for that part till EPO has been invented) and boldenone. Other also help that except DHT and its derivates do not have this effect. As you might have suspected by now DHT just like
estrogen is not your enemy but another hormone that plays big role in body balance.
We know having something completely out of balance for long time will cause problems sooner or latter.
We call those problems Anabolic steroids side effects. The best way to avoid side effects is to use low dosages of exogenous steroids and do not destroy totally balance of hormones in the body, at least not for longer period of time. If side effects are big concern consider peptides. They can not do so much damage in the body as steroids can even if used very long and in higher dosages. There is a limit when it comes to stimulating your body to do anything, it is a completely different concept then using exogenous hormones, which you can easy overdose. My advice is to listen to older experienced guys which you are doing right now if you are reading this. Media is doing a horrible job by lying about steroids and exagerating every problem anyone ever had on it. They even relate some effects and horrible deaths to steroids, which are not true.
Seeing that they lie people do not trust media anymore and as such are easy victims to another side, aggressive greedy profit hungry black market dealers which will make it look steroids are milk and honey justo sell more, even to minors.
The truth is in between :
Steroids are powerful weapons in hands of educated athletes and a way to an early grave in hands of ignorant uneducated individuals.
Get proper information on time - probably best advice for everything else in life too !
Back to our subject ..
General rule of thumb is :
More testosterone is more muscle size and less fat and more estrogen means more fat and water retention, but soon things will get coplicated. Some estrogen is mandatory in muscle building process as well, so using estrogen inhibitors such as tamoxifen and its stronger version anastrozole without actual need for it t is a BIG mistake !
It can be a mistake that will cost you gains ! Sadly some crooked dealers will offer anything they can to make additiona sales. They give testosterone to beginners and tell them now you need to buy "protection" for another 50-80 usd, actually they are killing your gains.
Estrogen is needed in the body for following reasons :
increases glucose utilization, it helps in process of growth hormone secretion and helps androgen receptor sensitivity. Studies where subjects used testosterone but as same time tamoxifen caused them to have less gains then those using only testosterone.
So use Tamoxifen only if your estrogen levels get out of the control (very easy to see in blood test) and / or you start noticing estrogen side effects (start of gynecomastia development and excessive water bload, too high percent of fat in total weight gained). Tamoxifen is also shown to suppress IGF 1 so stay away from it if you are a beginner.
Insulin is another thing to understand. It is very powerful anabolic and mandatory in muscle building system. Insulin will deliver nutrients to cells. Simple way to put is like this : Anablic steroids and HGH instruct or even command cells to grow (increase protein retention, slow down or stop breakdown of proteins) and insulin is one bringing the nutrients in at that very needed moment. Failing to have both at optimal level will
fail or at least lower your gains. But exogenous insulin is very dangerous to play with. I suggest you rely on your natural insulin secretion by taking your diet into order.
Simply plan your meals right on time with proper macros ! I have used insulin of course too. Simply had to try it. Only that one time I felt I can die off something I have injected in my body. Never got that kind of panic ever on steroids, even trenbolone which is beside anadrol and halotestine considered very hard on the system. Anadrol and trenbolone can make you feel like sh... at home but then come to gym and become a HULK ! All admiration and attention from others plus braking personal records on every move makes you forget about sleepless nights, excessive embarrassing sweating and similar stuff. But with insulin things can get really bad.
After injecting insulin IT IS MANDATORY to eat SIMPLE CARBS with proteins,
if you are denied food that moment, you can die !
Panic will force you to grab anything, literally anything that has sugar in to overcome that crises. Lucky today food is accessible everywhere 24/7 but still carrying some high sugar supplements in your pockets is mandatory if you decide to try insulin.
Once you master it you can literally feel muscles growing on it.
Using IGF1, HGH and insulin is what caused golden era of bodybuilding when only steroids and some hgh were used to jump on evolution scale to mass monsters era with growth rate which only by using steroids is not possible.
But lets say you do not need that information right now.
Stick to safe cycles !
At this point I will repeat my self, if unsure what you are looking for use peptides !
You can always switch to steroids once you discover results are too mild, it is not waste of time but taking a step at the time !
If you are on steroids and looking for options what next consider switching to peptide and hgh to bridge and recuperate while keeping the gains cycle. on peptides. After few months you will be back on steroids, safer and with better receptor sensibility.
Now you can go shopping. He have proper service and products here !
Shop conservative and use steroids wisely. I would rather have a returning happy
customer then someone ending up with problems because he simply overdosed.
Prices are affordable because we play fair and honest deal here,
not because you can afford more and we want you to spend more !
